DIPPING CHICKENS FOR LICE
Likely to Become More General Than
Dipping Cattle Because Pest

'Dip that chicki' 1t isn't done just
for the sake of making rhyme for
dip that tick" either. Dipping chick
ems Is likely to become more general
than dipping cattle, because the
chicken louise is more widely distrib-
uted insect than the cattle tick. The
s'dip" consists of / ounce of sodium
fiuoride to the gallon Of water. which
should be at temperature Of 20 to 80
degrees. The dipping should be done
on q clear, warm day-never on a
cold day. The old way of getting rid
of chicken lice was by busting with
dry sodium. fiuoride. 1t was effective,
but in the case of large focks 1t was
slow and wasteful, great deal of the
busting material being inevitably lost.
Recent dipping experiments proved
successful, and the results promise a
sure and speedy means Of getting rid
of one Of the worst pests of poultry.

TO RAISE HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack Of vigor In Newly Hatched

Weakness OF Parents.

prepared by the United States Depart

To be successful in raising chickens
1t is necessary to have healthy and
vigorous breeding stock, for the lack
Of vigor in the newly Matched chicks
is often traceable to weak parents.
Only the most vigorous and the best
grown birds should be put in the
breeding yards. Each bird should be
full of life and energy and free from
any serious deformity. Yearling hens
are usually better than pullets for
breeders, for the reason that the hens
are more mature and do not lay so
many eggs during the early winter,
and consequently do not reduce their
vitality so much before the breeding
season. Vigorous hens 2 to 4 years
old can often be advantageously
retained In the breeding yard. The
male bird chosen should be young and
active. An early Matched. well-deyel-

Of one department store had posters

Some Bodies Will Never Be Found

Others Buried in Sand.

Corpus Christi, Tex.-Recovery Of
additional bodies along the north
shore of Neuces bay brought the I'M
known dead as a result of the storm
to nearly 500, and caused fears that
the total death roll might reach dou
BILE that number.
The increased estimate of dead is
lased largely on conditions along The
Neuces shore line. where there is
much wreckage, that has not been
penetrated and under which it is be.
lieved there are many bodies of
storm victims.
Men searching for bodies along
North Neuces bay expressed the be-
lief that scores of additional bodies
are under unexplored wreckage along
the shore, or buried in the sand shift
cd by the tidal wave.
Judge Miller C. Nelson of Sinton,
who has been working with other
eearchers on North Neuces ever since
the storm subsidized, says his expert
ences had convinced him that the 10.
tal death list for Corpus Christi and
vicinity would reach 1000.
MANY Of these bodies never will
be recovered" Judge Nelson said,
"for already decomposition has caus-
ed bursting of some of the corpses,
which have sunk, never to return to
the surface. We have made several
Of these gruesome finds already, ami
each succeeding day will mean more.
"Unquestionably some bodies, prob
ably many, have been swept away
down the bays, probably into the
gulf, or as the waters of Neuces riv-
e. recede further, the sinking oil
wreckage will press many bodies In
to the sands, beyond hope of recov-
cry"

are willing to predict the total dead

testing of any material: the sample
must, however, be of sufficient size to
enable complete investigations to be
made.
