DESTROY CHICKEN
MITES AND LICE
These Pests Prevent Success
In Poultry Growing-Kill
Them Out.

Poultry raisers are all familiar
with the common red and gray
mites, which infect poultry houses.
In general those who are making a
speciality of poultry raising have
comparatively little trouble with
mites, or at least they keep them
reduced to point where they are
Of little importance. On the other
hand the farmers and others who
raise poultry as an incident to other
operations frequently find their poul-
try houses overrun by mites
The presence of the pests may be
detected by small areas on boards
speckled by black and white as
though busted with salt and pepper
This is the excrement Of the mites,
which are hidden in adjacent cracks
or rough places. More careful eX.
animation will reveal masses of
mites in hiding, together with their
eggs and the silvery skins cast by
the young. In moderately infected
poultry houses the injury to the
fowls is not very apparent, but the
constant blood loss and irritation is
shown by decreased eee produc'
ton and poor condition of the flesh
OF the fowls. Sitting hens deser,
their nests and thus ruin their eggs
or as is often the case, they arr

outright by the attack of thousand'
Of mites.
Blood is absolutely necessary TO
the development of the mites in al
stages The mite feeds almost en-
tirely at night, except that 1t oftel
feeds on hens on nests. Chicken
may carry few mites in thei
feathers during the day following

most of these leave the host durin

mites may remain on chickens duI

The success which has attended
the efforts of Denikine to rid South
