free from lice by giving the birds in
dividual treatment, which will secure
that result. 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, and dust the
sulphur freely into the feathers, US
ing either a small insect-powder gun,
or a can with perforated cover. Pyre-
thrum may be used in the same way.
Neither of these remedies will
thoroughly and permanently rid poul-
try of lice. When they are used
treatment must be repeated at more
or less frequent intervals, as may ap-
pear necessary.
BY using commercial sodium fluorid
in the form of powder, or as a dip, all
species of poultry lice may be de-
stroyed at one application. AS the
high efficiency of sodium fiuorid de-
stroying lice on poultry is of recent
discovery the material is not ordi-
narily found in all drug stores. With
a demand for it, however, local drug
gists will secure SUPPLIES. Poultry
keepers who desire to thoroughly
eradicate lice from their flocks should
write the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, d. c.,
for Farmers Bulletin sol, which
gives, with full details of the use of
sodium fiuorid. complete information
ON the control of mites and lice.
The common chicken mite is very
small gray insect, when it has filled
itself with blood, becomes bright red,
hence the name red mite" by which
it is often called. 1t may be dis
covered, If present, by looking on the
under side of the roost and nest sup
ports, and in the wall crevises near
them. Where the mites are very
abundant they may be found in large
masses in such places. They also
frequent the nest of sitting hens
With reasonable attention to the
cleanliness of poultry houses, mites
are not likely to be troublesome ex-
cept in warm weather.
Treatment for mites consist in APP
plications of liquid insecticides or dis
infectants applied to the places where
they harbor, repeating the applica-
tions at intervals of about a week
until all are destroyed. Any of the
petroleum products commonly used
for disinfectant purposes will be
found effective for the destruction of
mites.

Corn Is Champion Food Crop.

Corn, on a given area, will pro
duce more human food than an.
other crop commonly grown on Amer
lean farms. This crop heads the lisf
in units of energy produced per acre
and is ahead of all other crops except
navy beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter ele-
ment, soy beans far outclass all other
crops, showing twice as much proteir
per acre as navy beans, which rank
second in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most efficient
of farm animals in the production of
human food (milk) and, the hog is the
most efficient in the conversion o.
grain into meat, producing five times
as much per acre of crops as does any
other animal.

Agents of the Bureau of Entomol-
ogy of the United States Department
of Agriculture are requested to report
the occurrence this year of swarms of
the periodical cicada (17-yera To-
cust). The brood of cicada due this
year is designated as Brood TX and
its main location extends from the
southern part of West Virginia in
to North Carolina. Reports of other
years indicate also scattering colonies
of this brood in northern Virginia and
West Virginia and extending north
westward into Ohio.
Brood X. the largest of the 17-year
broods. is due next year, 1919, which,
therefore, will be the great cicada
year of the current 17-year period.
Brood X occupies the Ohio Valley and
the Allegheny Mountain region from
Alabama and Georgia northward
through Pennsylvania to scattered
colonies in New York and some of the
New England States.

Good Roads CentraIize Schools.

That improved roads would
benefit our country-school system
there would seem to be no doubt.
Good roads makes it possible to con-
solidate or centralize the schools and
to establish graded schools in the
rural districts. Such schools cen
trally located will accommodate all
of the children within a radius of 4
or 5 miles. In many communities
having the advantage of improved
roads commodious buildings have
been provided, more competent teach
ties for teaching supplied at a mini
mum cost.

Free The Henhouse OF All The Pests


Fowls are infested by two kinds of
body parasites-lice and mites. Lice
live continuously upon the birds. The
common mite feeds upon them on the
roost at night, and after feeding Sc
cretes itself in the cracks and crevices
about the roost.
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 feather; and the head
louise, 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 un-
der sanitary conditions and provided
with dust baths. They multiply
rapidly upon birds of low vitality
and sluggish temperament, and are
quickly distributed through fiocks
upon premises where attention to
cleanliness is Indifferent.
Individual Treatment Advisable.
For novices in poultry keeping, and
with small fiocks generally, it is ad-
visable to make sure that the flock is

40 APPLICANTS FOR HOUSES ON
 THE FIRST DAY
Word Coming From Office of
 Mir. Yoakum at Warren Shows This Average Will Be Held Up During Week

About forty applications for loans on houses in the Warren district were made at MT. Yoakum's office on the first day that applications were re ceived. and from the number of ap- pointments which he has made in ad- vance. it is evident that this record is to be maintained throughout the week.
 The object of concentrating the time for receiving applications was to al low the first lot of houses to be hand led both through the loan committee and the contractors as a unit, which will greatly expedite matters and per init of the building of the houses much more rapidly than otherwise. The Op- inion seems prevalent. however, that unless application is made at this time the generous offer of the companies will be withdrawn-that the Opportun- ity will not come later. It is prob able that the offer will be open for considerable period in order that those who desire to own homes may save. within the next few months, a few hundred dollars with which to made an initial payment to show good faith in the bargain.
 When the announcement was made that Mir Yoakum's office would be open from Tuesday to Sunday of this week, it did not mean that applica- tions would not be received aftcr this time. as they may be made at any time. The idea of limiting the time was to accommodate the initial rush without giving precedence and to ex- pedite the building of the houses. The man who files on Sunday. however, is equally at the head of the list with the one who filed the first day.
 The realization that the offer of the companies is to continue after the period of initial filing is going to cause many men to save that they may be able to make a substantial payment on their home and still be en- titled to all of the benefits coming to those who are making applications at the present time.
 Owing to the fact that many more applications are being received than was anticipated, it is probable that it will be a few weeks before all of them can be acted upon and the various ap- plicants notified by mail as to the dis position of their application.

Numerous additional villages have been liberated by the French nOthwest of Soissons and positions have bee1s captured on both sides of the Disc river which seemingly make Noyon untenable. That town is outflanked on the southeast and dominated by the French guns from the south and west On the south the French are standing in Sempigny. a mile and half distant. while on the west they the key position to Noyon and the plains to the north.
 With the latest advances by the French east of the Disc there has come under the range of General Man gins guns the broad guage railway line leading from NOyon eastward to Lafere-the sole remaining line, ex- cept for two narrow guage roads, over which the enemy may transport his men and supplies beyond the range of the French artillery.
 At last accounts Haig was still pressing forward on the Heels of the Germans between Albert and Arras, with tanks innumerable clearing the way The Arras-Albert railway all ready has been crossed by the British east of Bois Lieux-St. Marc and Mer- cantel, and south of these towns the new line has been pressed eastward.
 On the Lys salient the Germans have delivered a violent counter at tack in an endeavor to recoup in part the losses they have sustained.
 Their efforts were fruitless, for the British have pushed back the enemy beyond his points of departure.
 What is to be the effect of the allied drives along the 120 mile battle line from Ypres to SoissOns cannot be fore told at present, but it seems highly probable that this entire front soon must be, realigned. This particular menace to the Germans, aside from that in the territory between the Son. me and the Disc. appears to be on the sector along the Vesle river from Soissons to Rheims, which from the war maps look to be untenable Even the Chemin Des Danes do not ap- pear to be any too safe for a defense line if General Mangin presses much further northwest of SOissons.
