WHITE ANTS INJURE TIMBERS
Insects Enter Wood Wherever II Comes
in Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams.

Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses in spring,
and are sometimes supposed to have
come in from outside. The bureau Of
entomology of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are hatched
inside the buildings, and usually are

wingless white ants working destruc-
tion in the timbers.
These insects, which really are not
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever it comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center Of
an upright beam without manifesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
settling and cracking of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such founda-
tions that no wood touches the ground,
or IL il is necessary to use wood. that

Concrete floors should be laid on a
gravel base to prevent dampness and
cracking, and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filed.

plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never he crowded in
brood coops, for crowding will cause
them to become overheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes in
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites. and IL found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid'Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn.
two parts whent and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hailed
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of 1t
II they have free range. but IL kept In
confinement, lawn grass. beet tops,
cabbage. lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained 1t should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
Is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty OF fresh. clean water Is
absolutely necessary, and In hot
weather 1t should be provided twice
daily In dishes that have been thor
oughly cleaned
The bulletin emphasizes the impor-
tance OF free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
II chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
velop. into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range they
obtain Quantities Of green feed. bugs
worms and other things. therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness and disease.

The chief essentials to the proper
