PLAN TO ERADICATE MITES
Kerosene or Crude Petroleum Sprayed
in House Cracks or CreVices Will
Destroy Little Blood-Suck-
ing Parasites.

Don't tolerate mites and lice in your
hennery. They are unnecessary pests
and they sap the vitality that should
go into egg production. Nowadays,
effective ways are known for eradicat-
ing lice and mites altogether. First,
q dust bath should be accessible to the
hens. Usually there will be place in
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such place
is not available, box large enough
(abOut 2 feet sQuare) for the hens to
get into it should be provided in the
house and a quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
i'll it to allow the hens place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
in keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number to prove particularly
harmful. However, it is better to keep
the hens as free as possible from this
pest, and if they are not able to keep
them in check by busting themselves,
other measures can be undertaken.
To Eradicate Lice.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium fuOrid material which can

Iacohean Architecture.

The architecture Of the Jacobean
house came through the walls, forming
a background for furniture that in
turn reflected it's motifs. A massive
chimney was usually the most finished
factor in the room. 1t bore the man
Orial arms.
Ceiling and walls were frank con-
fession of the house structure-hand-
hewn beams broke the rOugh-plastered
walls, giving the room vigor and
crudeness characteristic of the times.
The gallery was not an uncommon
feature in this period.
In addition to the stone frep1ace'
the sturdy oak furniture, the wrought
iron lights and the timbered walls, the
finer of Jacobean> rooms had another
feature-an oriel window broken IN
places with colored medalliOns.

Hint 10 Cities.

The National Housing association ap-
narently does not regard as an obsta-
Gle to improved housing generally the
admitted fact that all American COM
munities impose heavy burden upon
citizens who erect dwellings upon va
cant sites, whether for their own use
or the accommodation of others, says
The Public. At time when the high
cost of labor and materials has Drought
building to a full stop, although the
need for additional housing is keen
and unsatisfed, it would seem an OBJ
vious emergency measure that the city
or town should exempt buildings from
all possible burdens, but no public bod"
les seem to think so.

EVERY YARD TO HAVE GARDEN
writer Urges Importance of Move
ment, to Be Impressed on An
Members Of the Communitv.

One of the first necessities. saws DIR
John II. Finley in a recent paDer on
gardening, is to arouse interest in the
work among the young people of the
community, but fully as important as
this is securing the cooperation of the
parents. 1t is quite necessary for the
entire success of this movement that
the older people not only realize the
Importance of increased production
during the coming year, but that they
also take an active part in the pro-
ductiOn.
1t is especially important that only
good seeds and good plants be used.
Therefore, those who are in charge
OF this work should see to it that
those having gardens be referred only
to reliable firms for seeds. In order
that lack Of capital may be no handi-
cap to those desiring to take up the
work, there should be provided and
administered a loan fund for those
who need assistance in. buying ma
nure, hiring vacant lots or large gar
den plots, and in paying for blowing
and narrowing same.
Now is the time to deal with next
winters disturbances high cost of
living, bOycots and embargoes. A
national preparedness for war de-
mands that immediate steps be taken
by every individual to do his share in
the production movement. "a gar
den in every yard" should be our slo-
gan.

use a small quantity of blue ointment,
a piece about as large as a pea on the
skin an inch below the vent. If mercu-
rial ointment is used instead Of blue
ointment, it should be diluted with an
equal quantity Of vaseline. Any of
these methods will be found very eff
fective in Kidding the hens of lice and
should be employed whenever the lice
become troublesome. Two or three ap-
plications a year usually prove sl1fh-
cient.
Mites Are Blood Suckers.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice, but
during the day hide in the cracks and
crevices of the rOosts and walls of the
house, and at night they come out and
get upon the fowls. They suck the
hens blood, and if allowed to become
plentiful-as they certainly will if not
destrOyed-will seriously affect her
health and consequently her ability to
lay eggs. They may be eradicated by
a few thorough applications of kerO-
sene Or some of the cOal-tar products
which are sold for this purpose, or
crude petroleum, to the interior of the
poultry house. The commercial tar
products are more expensive but
retain their killing power longer, and
they may be cheapened by reducing
with an equal part Of kerosene. Crude
petroleum will spray better if thinned
with 1 part of kerosene to parts Of
the crude oil. Both the crude petro-
leum and the coal-tar products often
contain foreign particles, so should be
strained before attempting to spray.
One must be sure that the spray
reaches all the cracks and crevices,
giving especial attention to the roosts,
and nests, and the
treatment should be repeated two or
three times at intervals Of a week or
ten days.

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
As Necessary for Laying Fowls in Win
ter as in Summer-keep Windows
and Doors Omen.

and Doors Open.
The henhouSe needs fresh air-as
much in the winter as in the summer.
It is as necessary to laying hens as
clean water and good feed. Badly ven
tilated houses make hens lose vitality,
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick and stop laying altogether. Ven
tilation is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation Of
the air is poor in cold weather, mois-
ture collects on the inside of the walls
and roof. At a freezing temperature
under such conditions there is a rapid
accumulation of ''frost'' on these sur
faces which makes the house very I'M
comfortable.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness in a poultry house is simply
a matter Of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any. difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water in the house.
Then the tendency is to close doors
and windows to keep the house warm.
A general rule which may be followed
is to open doors and windows as wide
as is necessary to keep the house dry
in cold weather and to keep them wide
open when water I'm the house will not
freeze.
