WATCH FOR LICE AND MITES
Unless Parasites Are Controlled They
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 a 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
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,
| and apply the mixture with a spray
pump or brush. Kerosene, crude oil.
or some good preservatiye 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

IN MATTERS OF EDUCATION
Question Where Authority for the
Proper Conduct Of Operations
Should Be Rightly Placed.

Fundamentally the determining fac
tor In educational administration be-
comes today one Of finance. The
school superintendent declare them
selves unable to raise more money To-
cally than is already furnished. The
whole question Of educational finance
in relation to local taxation has not yet
been adequately considered to deter
mine the validity of such statements.
Without going further into this prob
lem an agitation has been begun for
securing aid from the federal govern
ment. It is argued that the federal au-
thority today is in better position for
levying taxes than is the local author
ity, that the nation as whole is like
~ to suffer unless national measures
are adopted for combating illiteracy,
Americanizing the immigrant, and i'm
proving the physique Of the citizens,
and finally that teachers may now be
regarded as performing service of ma.
t0nal importance-New Republic.

A Considerable Amount.

A certain little village In the West
stands some distance from the near
est good supply Of pure water, and
Patrick is the man who transports bar
rels of drinking water to the homes of
the village.
One day, says Chicago Herald
as Patrick halted at the top Of the
river bank, man famous for his in
Quisitive mind stopped and asked:
"How long have you hauled water
for the village, my good MANI"
'"Tin years, sor."
"Ah, how many loads do you take in
a day2'
"From tin to fifteen. sor?"
"Ah, yes! Now, I have problem
for you. How much water at this rate
have you hauled in all?"
The driver Of the water cart jerked
his thumb backward toward the river
and replied:
Gall the water yez don't see there
now, sor."

undevsseped horns Of the calves. To
obtais the best results, the caustic
should be applied when the calf is
trom four to ten days old. Clip the
nair from around the knobs where the
norns are developing. With a slightly
nloistened stick Of caustic, rub each
horn alternately three or four times,
allowing it to dry each time before ap-
plying the next. Extreme care should
->.e taken not to have the stick so wet
that the solution from it will run down
the side of the calf's head. To pre-
cent the spread of the caustia. which
vii! cause sores on the skin, apply
vaseline around the edge where the
aair has been clipped.
For older cattle, where the horns
ave developed. either saws or clip
:sors should be used. It is best to- use
he clipper on the young animals when
che rorns are still soft and tender,
but with older animals which have
hard, brittle horns the saw should be
used. While the operation can be per-
formed with clippers quicker and with
eSs pain, this instrument is Hr1le to
crush the bone in older animals, caus-
ing wound that heals very slowly.
Cattle should never be dehorned
turing warm weather, spring being the
best time to perform the operation. If
delayed too long in the season, the
wound may become infested With
screw worms, and flies are very an
Toying. Either coal tar or pine tar
applied to the wound will prevent fly
-ljury. If screw worms appear in spite
IT all precautions, they may be r.
moved by saturating a piece of abb
sorbent cotton in chlOroform and in,
sorting it into the wound, or by pour.
Ing gasoline into the horn cavities.
This kills the worms, which should
then be removed with a pair of for.
ceps.
In order to make a clean cut and
avoid trouble in performing the opera
zion, the animals head should be
clapped or held in a firm position. For
this purpose dehorning chutes, the
front of which cOnsistg Of two strong
pieces which can be closed firmly on
either side Of the cows neck, are very
convenient.

DEH0RNING CATTLE is EASY
Operation Is Simple and Not Difficult
When Performed on Calves Four
to Ten Days Old.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture
DehOrning cattle is almost universal
ly practiced by stockmen who raise
high grade steers. Cattle without horns
are easier to handle, have an equal
chance at the feed trough when placed
In the feed lots, are less dangerous to
attendants, and are more uniform in
appearance. Also, they cannot gore
one another in the feed lot or in tran
sit to market, which causes greater
shrinkage in weight, Injuries the skin
for commercial purposes, and leaves
the flesh in a bruised condition, thus
detracting from it's value.
While there are many cruel ways OF
performing this operation, one Of the
simplest and easiest methods is to use
cauStic, either soda or potash, On the

Radium In Sea Salt.

Samples of sea salt collected dur.
Ing a recent voyage in the Pacific and
subantarctic regions have been exam
ined for their radium content. The
amount of radium was found to be
negligibly small compared with val.
ues that have been found in others col.

accordance with the prevailing view
that the radium content of sea salt

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

prepared 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, at the conserva-
tive value Of Is cents a dozen, would
be worth $25. But the 100 dozen is
more important than the $25.
