BUSTER FOR LICE Treatment
Powdered Sulphur IL Besk to Use for
Eradication Of Iiee-Hioh Effieien.
cy Of Sodium Fluorld Of Re-
cent Discovery.

! Epwls are infested by two kinds of
body parnsites-lice and mites. Lice
live continuously upon the birds. The
common mite feeds upon them on the
roosts at night, and after feeding Sc
cretes itself in the cracks and crevices
about the roosts.
! There are many different kinds of
poultry lice. Those most common on
fowls are the body louise, yellowish in
color and about one-tenth Of an inch
in length, which remains on the skin
Of the fowl the shaft louise, somewhat
smaller and very pale in color, which
Is usually seen on the shafts of the
feathers; and the head louse-a large
gray species which is most frequently
observed on the heads of young
chickens.
| Lice are not usually very abundant
ON healthy fowls which are kept under
sanitary conditions and provided with
dust baths. They multiply rapidly
upon birds of low vitality and slug
gish temperament, and are quickly dis
tributed through focks upon promises
where attention to cleanliness is IND
different.
For novfces in poultry keeping, and
with small flocks generally, it is advis-
able to make sure that the flock is free
from lice by giving the birds individual
treatment which will secure that re-
suit. The most universally procurable
article for this purpose is powdered
sulphur. The method of applying this
is to hold the bird by the feet-head
down-ahd dust the sulphur freely into
the feathers, using either a small in
sect powder gun, or a can with a per-
forated cover. Pyrethrum may be used
in the same way. Neither of these
remedies will thoroughly and perma-
nently rid poultry Of lice. When they
are used treatment must be repeated
Mt more or less frequent intervals, as
may appear necessary.
By using commercial sodium fuorid
In the form of powder, or as dip, all
species of poultry lice may be de-
stroyed at one application. AS the
high efficiency of sodium fluorid in de-
stroying lice on poultry Is of recent
discovery the material is not ordinarily
found in all drug stores. With de-
mand Tor 1t, however, local druggists
will secure supplies. Poultry keepers
who desire to thoroughly eradicate lice
from their flocks should write the
United States department of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., for Farmers
Bulletin sol, which gives, with full de-
tails of the use of sodium fiuorid, COM
plete Information on the control of
mites and lice.
Mite 10 Very Small.
The common chicken mite is a very
small gray insect which. when it has
filed itself with blood, becomes bright
red. hence the name "red mite" by
which 1t is often called. 1t may be
discovered, II present, by looking on
he under sides of the roosts and nest
supports, and In the wall crevices near
them. Where the mites are very abun-
dant they may be found in large
masses In such places. They also fire.

The scheme Of wage advances adopt
ed II based on an inquiry into the
cost Of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving $S5 a month
The commission favors a shorter
average workday. presumably eight
hours. but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not AFFORD
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes of
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices
Rates Of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis Of compensation

for example, receiving an Increase OF
11A per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme Of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature Of the report

the same service Is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without discrimina-
tion as to sex or race.

When Chickens Are Best.

Chickens, in any general scheme OF
poultry production, of course, must
take first place. They are best adapted
to general conditions, take wider
range of feeds and convert them, per.
haps, with the greatest margin Of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9TH
er class of poultry utilize table scraps
and the general run of waste from the
kitchen door. all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk.
Chickens far surpass all other kinds
of poultry in salvaging waste grain
from the stables, from the shed or lot
where the cattle are fed, and from hog
pens. During the winter months, on
farms where any considerable number
Of live stock are kept, the hens would
take their living from these sources
with only slight additional feeding
from time to time. Chickens are great
destroyers of insects.

GERM IS CAUSE OF CHOLERA
Principal Factor Of Prevention 10
Serum Treatment Developed by
Agricultural Department.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The most destructive ailment OF
swine is hog cholera, which kills ap-
proximately 80 per cent of all hogs
that die of disease. 1t is caused by
germ readily transmitted from sick to
well hogs and may, at times. remain
active in the soil and other materials
for long periods. Hog cholera has
taken from the swine raisers an aver
age toll of $3O,OOo,OOO annually, for the
past 40 years, and the loss has been as
high as S65,OOO,OOO in a single year.
Thus for years the hog industry has
been greatly handicapped. The enor-
nous number of animals destroyed has
been due largely to the rapid spread
Of the disease and the inability of
farmers to recognize the ailment, and
In many instances to the lack Of at
tention to proper precautions to pre-
vent its Introduction. The symptoms
of hog cholera are not such rs readily
to distinguish it from certain other
diseases of swine, and a sick pig al
ways should be regarded as a possible
danger to the entire herd. Therefore
any pig showing signs of Illness should
be separated from the other animals.
The principal factor of hog-cholera
prevention is the preventive serum
treatment developed by the bureau OF
animal industry of the United States
department Of agriculture. There are
two methods Of treatment. The sim
pie method, serum alone. protects ami
mails SO treated for a limited period
only, difficult to determine but usually
ranging from three weeks to three
months. The other method, simultane-
GUS incubation, consists Of the injec-
ton of serum at one point and a small
dose Of hog cholera virus at some
other point, usually in the opposite
side Of the animal. The great advan-
tage of this treatment Is that 1t gives
permanent protection to the animals
! in practically all instances. However,
this involves the use of virus, the ac-
tive agent of cholera, and should.
therefore, he intrusted only to skilled
persons.
The bureau Of animal industry is
now carrying on hog-cholera preven-
! ton work In 81 states and has force
