CAMPERS CHIGGERS MAY
ATTACK FARM CHICKENS

Chiggers, harvest mites, or cred
bugs" which so frequently annoy
campers by the intense itching they
produce, may also attack fowls. Young
chickens having a free range, espe-
cially if it includes low-lying land, are
the most liable to suffer from these
parasites. The mites penetrate the
skin, causing an intense itching, and
assesses may be found where clus-
ters of mites are feeding These
absceses are sometimes a third of
an inch in diameter, surrounded by
an area of inflammation. The birds
become droopy, refuse to eat, and may
die from hunger and exhaustion.
If an abscess has not yet formed the
inflamed area may be treated with
sulphur ointment, Peruvian balsam, or
a mixture of part of kerosene oil
with 3 parts Of lard. If suppuration
has occurred the scab should be re-
moved and the area washed with a

CLASSES OF FOOD BEST
ADAPTED TO FIRELESS COOKE

Obviously the fireless cooker must
be used with intelligence to obtain
the best results. 1t is best suited to
those foods which require boiling,
stcaming, or long, slow cooking in a
moist heat. Foods can not be fried in
it, pies can not be baked successfully
in the ordinary frclcss cooker, nor
cah any cooking be done which re-
quires a high dry hcay for browning
Meats, however, may be partially
roasted in the oven and finished in the
cooker, or may be begun in the cooker
and finished in the oyen with much
the same results as if tkcy were
roasted in the oven entirely. The
classes Of food best adapted to the
cooker are cereals, soups, meats, vege-
tables, dried fruits, steamed breads,
and puddings.
When different foods are cooked to-
gtthcr in the firclcss cooker they must
be such as require the same amount
of cooking, since the cooker can not
be opened to take out food without
allowing the escape Of a large amount
Of heat and making it necessary to
rehcat the contents. 1t would not do
to put foods which need about one

tained if some other material which
holds heat fairly well is used to fill
up the empty space. This may be ac-
complshed in several ways. One is
to put the small quantity of food to
be cooked into smaller, tightly clos
ed kettle, fill the large kettle with
boiling water and put The small kettle
into it, standing it N an inverted
bowl or some other suitable support.
This boiling water will take up and
hold the heat better than air would.
Several smaller dishes (if tightly COW
ered) may be placed it: the kettle sur
rounded by boiling water. Baking
powder or other tins often are found
useful for this purpose. Another way
is to place one food in a basin which
just fits into the top of large kettle
and to, let some other material, some
vegetable perhaps, cook in the water
in the bottom of the kettle. Two or
more fiat, shallow kettles placed one
on top of the other so as to fill the
cooker enable one to cook small
amounts of different foods success

for use in fireless cookers, may be
purchased.

and Central States, where harvest
mites are most numerous, it is often
necessary to keep young chickens off
the range in summer. In these Sec
tions it is good plan to hatch the
chickens early in the spring, so that
when the warm weather comes, in
which the mites are most abundant,
the birds will be old enough to resist
their attacks.

to be protected from loss while they
are experimenting in producing some
thing which, when ready to be sold
to the farmers, will be sold at such
price as to be disastrous to the
farmer and through him to the whole
country. He said that he was in favor
of protecting the agricultural inter-
ests.
"F'rom the best source obtainable we
bought to receive foreign potash at
practically pre-war prices and in un-

territory from which we receive for

zone of the arguments used for this
monstrous proposition was that in
case of war, without. developing our
own resources for potash we would
find ourselves in the same condition
we did in this war. Among other
good things that the proposed league
to enforce peace will bring about is
the opportunity for the practical ap-
Dlication of the good OLD Democratic
doctrine of free trade. There can be
an exchange amongst the nations of
the products that they can more
readily produce, without the threat

change and producing distress in that
