poultryman has a few birds or many,
if he is wise, he knows that the roosts

building should be thoroughly satu-
rated with a disinfectant before the
birds are introduced to their new quar-

mites. The following directions for
Kidding the chicken house of all its

TAKE EVEN VERDUN LIGHTS
Depredations of Souvenir Hunters
Cause of Fort Being Closed to
Visitors.

Paris.-A lesson to tourists too anxi
Gus to take away with them souvenirs
of the battle front has just been given
by the military authorities of Fort
Vaux, which has hitherto been open
to visitors to Verdun.
The authorities have decided to close
the fort indefinitely. A few days ago
a tourist took possession, doubtless as
a souvenir, of an electric lamp bulb.
He was indiscreet enough to make
flourish of the bulb in Verdun cafe.
The military authorities confiscated
the bulb, and then came the order
making the fort 'out of hounds" to
visitors.

DESTROYING the Mite.

The first step necessary to destroy
parasites on chickens is to get rid of
the hiding places as fast as possible
The roosts should be taken down and
all unnecessary boards and boxes re-
moved. In heavily infested houses
mites are to be found in all parts Of
the building including the roof. Where
tons usually are confined to the
roosts and nests and the walls imme-
diately adjacent. For large chicken

Treating sheep for parasites saved

advised. During a two weeks period

houses a bucket pump, knapsack
sprayer or barrel pump is desirable. A
rather coarse spray should be applied
from all angles and thoroughly driven
into the cracks. The floors should also
be treated.
In tests conducted by the United
States Department. of Agriculture dur
ing the last four years several differ
ent materials used as sprays have
proved effective against mites. Com
mercial carbolineum, which consists
essentially Of high-grade anthracene
OIL has proved very effective. The
killing power of this substance, which
is derived from coal tar lasts for sew
eral months, and mites which may be
inclined to come in from other build
ings are repealed for a long time. This
material is rather expensive about 81
gallOn-but since the number OF
treatments necessary to control an in
festation Of mites completely is less
than that required when any other
known material is used, it's application
is strongly ADVISED.
Crude petroleum, while not so effec-
tive as carbolineum, retains it's killing
power for several weeks, and in most
localities is very cheap. Since it does
not dry into the wood SO rapidly, it is
more likely to soil the fowls and cloth
ing. These materials can be sprayed
better if reduced with kerosene at the
rate of about one part Of kerosene to
three parts of the other material. Both
often contain foreign particles which
should be strained out before the
spraying is begun.
Two Treatments Advisable.
It has been found that one thorough
application of either of these materials
will often completely eradicate the
mites from an infested chicken house,
but ordinarily it is advisable to make
a second application month after the
first and in some cases a third treat
ment is required These subsequent
applications may be made with a
brush. the materials being used pure,
and only the roosts, their supports, the
walls adjoining and the nests if they
are infested, being treated. This meth
cd of application is effective for the
first treatment also if the houses are
not heavily infested. Poultry should
be kept out of the treated buildings
until the material is we'll dried into
the wood.
In spraying henhouses care should
be exercised to prevent the spray from
striking chickens around the building.
This is especially important with
young chicks
Pure kerosene and kerosene emul-
sion in double the strength ordinarily
applied to plants will destroy all mites
hit. but these substances have not
body enough to destroy those mites
which are in more protected situa-

Physical Training School Main
tanned in Shanghai.

The vast majority Of Chinese men
remember their mothers as criPples.
Many a girl wanders into mission
school who has not had her own feet
bound, but has never seen a woman
of her own class who could walk, and,
therefore, she walks in most ungatn-
ly fashion-scarcely conscious Of her
natural feet.
The Chinese Medical Association
an Association composed only of Chi
nese physicians mostly graduates from
American and English Institutions
have asked the entire educated commu-
nifty of the country to cooperate in
better health for the children of Chi
ma. All the Mission Boards operating
in China felt that one Of the greatest
contributions the Young Womens
Christian Association could offer to
the health of China would be to yes-
tablish a normal school for the train
ing of physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, which is
the greatest port in China, the nation
al committee established such school
in 1914. The school has won favor
with all educationists, both missionary
and government. There have already
been nine graduates from this school.
Miss Ying Mei Chun, graduate Of
the Wellesley School of Physical Edu-
cation, has been dean of the school.
Graduates of the school are scattered
from Canton to Peking, teaching with
conspicuous success in twelve mission
and government schools.

WOMEN DO NOT CHANGE
Babylonan Tablets show Similarity Be
tween Women Then and Now.

AS archaealagsts dig up more and
more information about women from
the clay records of ancient Babylonia
and SumeriaAkkadia women of today
are mere and more astonished at the
similarity between pre-Biblical and
modern women and al the progress OF
the feminine contingency in the coun-
tries of 300 b. c.
We are inclined to look upon these
females as yotaries, giving up their
lives o strange rites in the temples OF
the land or as slaves, really or figura-
lively. either as they married or
were purchased IN the slave market
1t is true thai many Babylonian lad

ice of their gods, and it was very
splendid thing, one done usually by
women OF high birth and marriage

/ for her to give bend, in a most mod

Proofs Of all this are contained on
clay tablets in Babylonian collec-
tons, notably in the one at Yale Uni

Undoubtedly. even Babylonian mon
did not have The Yo e, so the women
did net have IT. But there must have
been some kind Of politics. Records

frequent changes o. administration
