FREE YOUR POULTRY
FROM MITES AND LICE
IW'eiy AdUice from UniUersitv
of Arkansas.

1t is during this season of the
year that the mites make their
appearance in the poultry
house. If the poultryman starts
with their first appearance to
combat them he will usually
have very little trouble keeping
them well under control. The
fowls can Re freed from lice
much more easily than the
house can be freed from mites
1t is well to clean up the houses
OF mites and to treat the fowls
ftor lice at the same time. If this

formation and has been f0As..
to be the best method nsed thus
far. This method is to use So
dium fluorid either as powder
or in solution as a dip. When
sodium fluorid is used as a dust
a small pinch of the. chemical
is placed among the, feathers
on the following sections: head,
neck, back, breast, tail, thigs
and under each wing. If the
sodium fluorid is used as a dip,
a bright, sunny day should be
selected. Use tepid water and
measure it into tub; take
three-fourth to one ounce of
commercial or two-thirds of an
ounce of chemically pure sodi-
um fluorid to each gallon of
water, The sodium fuorid will
dissolve readily when stirred.
Dip the birds in this solution
and allow them-to drain q few
seconds before releasing them.
You will find this to be very eff
fective.
Mites differ from lice in that
rhey do not live on the birds
body, but mass together in the
cracks and crevices about the
house. At night they crawl to
the lirds and suck blood, re-
turning TO their hiding places
before the birds leave the roost
in the morning. 1t is due to
this habit of the mite that it

Last Sunday for the first time
in months there were no evening
services at any of the Fort Mill
churches. The Baptist church
was closed on account of the ab-
sence of the pastor, the Rev. j.
W. II. Dyches, who was in Chatta-
nooga attending the annual meet
ing OF the Southern Baptist con-
yention; no services were held at
the Presbyterian church because
OF the illness of the Rev. j.. B.

were discontinued some months
ago. when work was begun on the
new church building.

Lille Taylor, I negro woman,
living IN q tumbledown shack in
Dallas, Texas, refused to become
excited when told that she had
won her suit In the Louisiana
supreme court and established her
title, 80 far as State courts are
concerned, to what her attorneys
declared is the biggest producing
lease in the great Homer (La.
oil fields.
The land, about three miles
from the town of Homer, already
has produced about $4,000, 600
worth OF oil, according to the
lawyers representing the woman,
and the court s decision has made
her the richest negro woman in
tie United States.
The woman's fight for the for
tune centered about land in Clai-
borne parish she had abandoned
az worthless. She moved off it..
after inheriting it from her pa
rents, and, according to claims
in the suit, George West, another
negro, squatted on it on alleged
pretense of title. 1t was West the
woman fought in the courts.
Two of the greatest oil compa-
nies in the Homer field are in
volyed by the suit. The Gulf Re
finig company leased the land
from West and has been produc-
ing oil. On the strength of the
woman's claim, the Caddo Cen
trial secured lease from her.
The exact amount of money the
woman will receive when the lit
igation is ended is not known, but
it will be from 8 to Is million dol
lars.

death by jury to-day for the Staying
of the ragged stranger" he used as .
dupe TO cover up his greater crime. The
defence Immediately moved for new

and the ragged stranger last June.
His first story was that the stranger
had attempted to hold him up in the en-
trance to his apartment and that his
wife bad been killed by stray bullet
when he and the stranger" fought with
pistols.
The police traced the pistols and
found he claimed one of the weapons

longed to Wanderer. and he broke down
and confessed that he had hired the
stranger" to impersonate a robber SO
