WATCH FOR LICE AND MITES
Have Marked Effect on Number
Of Eggs Produced.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Poultry raisers should be on the
lookout for lice and mites, for they
get buster than ever with the coming
of warm weather. Unless they are
controlled at this season they will
have marked effect on the number
of eggs produced by laying hens, and
the number Of chicks raised. Poul-
try houses should be thoroughly clean
ed, whitewashed. or sprayed with kero-
sene or kerosene emulsion at this sea-
son. The hens should also be provided
with good dust box and insect pow
der should be busted among their
feathers.
Mites usually stay in the cracks of
the henhOuses and under the rOosts in
the daytime, where they lay their eggs.
At night when the fowls go to roost
the mites come out of their hiding
places, attach themselves to the fowls,
and feed by sucking blood from the
birds. To get rid of them the houses
should be cleaned and sprayed thor
oughly, including the nests. the drop
ping boards, and roosts. The poultry
house that is kept clean and has plen-
ty of sunlight and ventilation is usual
ly free from mites. Immediately after
cleaning the house should be white
washed or sprayed. An effective white
wash is made by shaking One-half peck
of lime in 20 gallons of water. Add
one pound Of salt, previously dis
solved, and two quarts of crude car
bolic acid, or one gallon of stock dip,
pump or brush. Kerosene, crude oil,
or some good preservative manufac-
tured from coal tar. sprayed about the

interior of the house, especially in the
cracks and crevices, is an effective
means of killing mites. If kerosene is
used 1t is necessary to continue to
spray every 10 days or two weeks
throughout the warm weather. The
effect of crude Oil or wood preserva-
tive is much more lasting.
Inasmuch as lice spend a greater
part of their time on the fowls, the
most effective treatment Is that which
is applied directly to the birds. The
cleanliness of the house. however, is
of equal importance If the lice are to
be gotten rid of entirely. The two
most practical methods of fighting lice
are busting or using paste or an ONT
ment. Provide a good dust box con-
tanning mixture of road dust or wood
ashes and allow the hens to dust them
selves. busting the hens by hand is
effective and Is especially recommend
ed for setting hens and fowls that are
very much infested with lice. A good
homemade dust or louise powder is
made by mixing together one and one
half pints of gasoline and one pint Of
crude carbolic acid with four quarts
of plaster of Paris. Allow 1t to dry.
crush to a powder, and work 1t well
into the feathers by hand.
One of the most effective Ointments
used to destroy lice Is mixture Of
equal parts of blue ointment with vase
line or lard. Mix these ingredients
thoroughly and apply small portion
(about the size of peal to the top
of the head, under the wings, and
around the vent
Note-Blue ointment should not be
used ON Matching hens and small
chicks.

TURKEY FEED NOT EXPENSIVE
When Being Prepared for Market in
Fall II Is Worth While to
Supply Some Grain.

About the only expense for feed for
the turkey is during short period in
the fall when they are being fitted for
the market and as they bring quite n
little more per pound than any other
kind of meat raised on the farm it is
well worth while to feed well during
the fattening period.

VALUE OF BACKYARD FLOCK
Average Size Should Be at Least Ten
Hens to Produce 100 Dozen
Eggs a Year.

Qtepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Here are some safe figures about
what can be expected Of backyard
flock. Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs. The
average size of the backyard flock
should be at least ten hens. Thus
each flock would produce in year 100
dozen of eggs, which, ut the conserva-
tive value Of % cents a dozen, would
be worth S25. But the 100 dozen Is
more important than the $25.

To Test Eggs.

The freshness Of an egg may be de-
termined by placing 1t in pan Of wa
ter. According to an expert If strict
" fresh" the egg will lie on Its side
on the bottom Of the pan. II stale 1t
viii stand on end and II very old will
rise to the surface. When just few
DAYS old the egg will begin to tilt a
trifie and as 1t ages more and more the
angle at which it tits will increase.
Thus the relative freshness may be de-
termined by noting just how 1t lies in
the water.
