Study to Serve.

Poultry keeping, although a compar-
atively simple undertaking, will be
successful In direct proportion to the
study and labor which are expended
upon 1t. There is an abundance of
good material on the subject, but
"Back-Yard Poultry Keeping" (Fnrm-
ers' Bulletin SS9), a recent publica-
tion of the United States department
of agriculture, contains all the general
directions needed to make a start. II
tells how to overcome the objections
to keeping poultry in the city, what
kinds of fowls to keep, the size Of the
flock computed according to the size Of
the back yard. gives definite instruc-
tions as to the best kinds of chicken
houses to build, with bill Of materials
for same, directions as to feeding the
fowls. Matching and raising chicks,
prevention Of diseases and pests, and
many other matters essential to the
success of the undertaking. Another
helpful bulletin of general character
Is "Hints to Poultry Raisers" (Farm
ers' Bulletin 52S). This gives great
deal of useful and authoritative in

Comparatively Simple Measures
Will Keep Flock Free From
Lice and Mites.
DUST BATH OF IMPORTANCE
Fresh Air, Sunlight and Frequent
Cleaning Will Assist Materially
In Keeping Parasites Away
Treat Hens Individually.

The backyard poultry keeper In
common with others must bear In mind
the fact that chickens will not give
adequate returns in eggs or growth If
they are permitted to be infested with
lice and mites. Probability Of such in
festation Is largely eliminated by pro-
viding in the poultry house adequate
air space. lighting, ventilation. and
frequent cleaning. These things. how
ever, cannot be wholly relied upon to
prevent either lice or mites.
A readily available dust bath, more
than any other single thing, perhaps.
enables the chickens themselves to get
rid of lice and mites. If such a place
is not available In the yard, box large
enough for hens to get into should
be provided In the house and a guam
tity Of dust, such as ordinary road
dust or fine dirt, placed In it to
allow the hens q place to dust them
selves.
Use Sodium FluorId. 81
To rid the hens Of lice, each one
can be treated by placing small pinches
Of sodium fluorid, material which
stores. among the feathers next to the
skin-one pinch on the head, one on
the neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below the vent, one at
the base Of the tail, one at either thigh.
and one scattered on the underslde Of
each wing when spread. Another
method Is to use a small quantity Of
blue ointment, piece about as large
as a pea on the skin one inch below
the vent. II mercurial ointment Is
used instead of blue ointment, it
should be diluted with an equal guam
tity Of vaseline. Amy Of these meth
DDS will be found very effective in
Kidding the hens Of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice become
troublesome. Two or three applica-
tions year usually prove sufficient.
Mites Most Harmful.
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 IL 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 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 coal
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 one part Of kerosene to four
parts Of the crude oil. Both the crude
petroleum 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 of the cracks and
crevices, giving especial attention to
the roosts, dropping-boards, and nests
and the treatment should be repeated
two or three times at intervals of a
week or ten days.

GAS FRITZ IN HENHOUSE,

You were appealed to, for the
sake of your country's needs, to
grow more poultry.
You have grown more poultry.
Now, the object in having
more poultry grown was not to
furnish more feed for lice and
mites.
If you allow the vermin to
flourish, they will consume not
only the chicken meat that
ought to release other meats
for the soldiers overseas, but
they will shut off the egg sup
ply. Hens infested with lice
and mites will not produce eggs
In summer.
Getting rid of the pests is a
fairly simple matter. Lime
around house and yard, a dust
bath for the hens, plenty Of sun
!: light and air, little chemical
treatment for any hens that
may have become infested
that's all.
Drudgery? Well, while you
are stopping lime around or put

your are gassing Germans. 1t
amounts to that, in the long
run.
