MITES CAUSE OF scALY LEG
Application Of Crude Petroleum to
Legs With Brush or Dipping ls
Best Treatment.

Two species Of itch mites attack
fowls, one Of which Is the cause Of
scaly leg. While this mite commonly
remains on the feet burrowing
through the scales and causing their
enlargement, it also attacks the comb
and the neck. A crust of loose tissue
Is formed above the burrows. and in
tense itching results from this mining
habit. When scaly leg is left untreat-
ed the feet of the birds often become
badly distorted, and In some cases
the fowl can scarcely walk or get to
the perch. Sometimes terminal joints
IF the toes are lost.
As the mites are transferred from
one bird to another, scaly-leg fowls
should be treated promptly and should
not be introduced among clean BIRDS
investigations made under the super
Vision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that car
bolineum or crude petroleum used on
the roosts doubtless will aid in pre-
venting the spread of the scaiy-ieg
mite from one fowl to another. Ap-
plying crude petroleum to the legs
with brush or dipping the legs into
this oil is very effective. One appl-
cation usually is sufficient, but If the
scales are not largely shed on after
lapse of 30 days the treatment should
be repeated. Kerosene oil is applied
by some farmers in the same way, Dut
Is less effective than crude oil. In
using either, care should be taken pot

the leg or on the feathers A less Sc
we're but more laborious treatment con-
sists Of soaking the feet in warm soap
suds until the scales are l0Dened and
then greasing the feet and legs with
sulphur and lard, or lard containing
8 per cent crude carbolic acid.
The other itch mite, commonly called
the depluming mite. is very small
creature which burrows into the skin
near the base Of the feathers. The
intense itching sometimes causes the
fowls to pull their feathers until they
are almost naked. Dipping Of all

PROPER MARKETING OF EGGS
Much Of Animal Loss Can Be Prevented
BY Use Of Pursbred Stock and
Better Cars.

1t is estimated that the annual pro-
duction Of poultry and eggs In the
United States is in excess Of $6OO.OOO,-
0O0-the value of the hay or the wheat
crop-and it Is also estimated that
there is a total loss of nearly 8 per
cent of the eggs marketed.
This great loss is due largely to i'm
proper handling between the farm and
the market. Many farmers look upon
eggs as a by-product, and the returns
as so much clear gain. The hens for
age for a living, and the eggs are
gathered when convenient and kept al

A splendid piano, the property or the Perseverance Amusement Club has been donated to the Salvation Army by that Club for use at the Army Headquarters in this city, ac- cording to Adjutant w. Kerr, finan- cial officer for the Army in tho North. The donation was made in cidental to the Army's drive for funds that is on this week.

TENT CITY IS SPRINC|NC UP
 PORTAGE BAY
Gateway to Cold Bay Oil Dis. trict May Soon Be Quite
 a Settlement Is Claim.

That a tent city is springing up at Portage Bay and town lots are being staked there is the assertion of Captain James V. Davis, owner oi the mail boat Estebeth, who has just returned from visit to the Cold Bay oil fields. Portage Bay is the landing place for the Cold Bay oil district on the Alaska Peninsula and where the large party Of oil pros pectors, engineers and experts were landed several weeks ago by the steamer Admiral Watson.
 Portage Bay does not afford much shelter for ships in time of storm and is not place for wharf, ac cording to Captain Davis, but has ar aan excellent beach for lighterings, ,iplo1 poses and is easy to get into with no bad reefs in front of it.
 Captain Davis went to Portage Bay and was landed there with the big party of government surveyors. He said nothing is definite yet as to the prospects for producing wells. but that there are many experts on the ground. The number of men in the district is hard to estimate, he said, as many are coming and going at all times.
 Some of the oil experts may leave the Cold Bay district on the next trip of the steamer Admiral Watson out of Portage Bay. They will go into the Yakataga district. at

IMMIGRANTS FOR
 UNITED STATES
 TROUBLE BRITISH

LONDON, Aug. 4.--England has its hands full in dealing with European emigrants bound for the United States who formerly went in Ger man ships.
 Congestion in the ports of the United Kingdom and the recent out break of typhus in Russia and the Balkans have caused the United States Public Health Service to be. stir itself. At the present tune three American surgeons are at work here, the first public health officials in the United Kingdom.
 Dr. w. J. Pettus, formerly assist ant surgeon general of the United States, is in general charge of the work with offices in the consulate Dr. Burr Ferguson will have direc- tion of operations at the port oi London and Southampton and Dr. N. R. Robinson at Liverpool
 Duties which the new organization will perform include the supervision of inspection and handling Of all emigrants for America and fumiga tion of ships for rats and vermin. This work was formerly carried on through the ordinary consular chan nels, but now it has grown to such proportions as to make additional help necessary fN E.
 All second-class and third-class passengers bound for the United States must submit to medical in spection before sailing permit is issued. The emigrants are divided into two classes, viz, the clean and the unclean, the latter being subject ed to thorough cleansing and 'their clothing disinfected. Persons coming from certain countries or districts re- garded as "suspect' are detained F days.
 This period of detention is passed in big hostals provided by the steam ship companies where the emigrants are maintained at the companies ex' pense in London and Liverpool.
