CONTROL OF CHICKEN PESTS
Application Of Blue Ointment Will
Prove Etficacious, as Will
Sodium Fluorid.

A study of the life of chicken lice
shows that there are dozen different
, kinds infesting the same bird. Most
Of them, however, frequent the rear
part of the body at least once in
every twenty-four hours where they
obtain the necessary moisture for
their life and growth. This moisture
is obtained from around the vent.
This habit of lice would answer one
method Of treatment, the use Of blue
ointment.
Blue ointment applied around the
vent and under the wing of each fowl
affected seems to get rid Of the lice
in a very short time. A piece the
size Of good sized pea is plenty for
one bird. If the blue ointment is
thick and heavy it should be melted
SO that it can be applied in a very thin
layer. 1t is we'll to make a second
application two weeks after the first,
especially If the birds are badly af-
fected.
Any Of the advertised lice powders
and many of the homemade powders
seem to work very well. Good dust
wallows handy to the poultry house
also aid considerably in controlling
this pest.
Sodium florid can also be used to
control lice. This is a common prep
aration which can be obtained at any
drug store. It is applied by what is
known as the pinch method. A pinch
should be worked into the fluff of the
tail, a pinch under each wing, pinch
on the back, and pinch worked into
the neck feathers.

WAR GASES PROPOSED
TO ERADICATE PESTS
Some of Them Promise to Be
Quite Efficient.
Particularly Useful When Heavier
Than Air and Used on BurrowinQ
Rodents and Insects in
Stored Products.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Deadly gases that were developed
Tor war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
OF Agriculture as means for destroy
ing noxious birds, animals, and insects.
Some Of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions.
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowing
rodents, and possibly subterranean i'll
sects and pests in stored products.
The most recent proposal is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con-
gregate in marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, in cooper
alton with the chemical warfare serv-
ice, is planning to make trial of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley Of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $780,
GOO worth Of damage to the milo crop
each year. Because Of their feeding
habits it Is impossible to destroy these
birds with poisoned bats, but, as they
roost on the reeds in the marshes, it
is thought that they can be killed by
gas cloud at night when the wind Is
favorable. The blackbirds are migra-
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that n
big killing In certain locality will
probably free it of the pests for many
years.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases on
such burrowing rodents as rats, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, and wood
chucks.
Entomologists Of the department
have already worked in cooperation
with the War department in testing
various gases on insect pests Of grow
ing plants and those that infest stored
grain, but it has not yet been found
advisable to recommend anything to
take the place of hydrocyanic.acid gas
or carbon bisulphide.
The serious disadvantages Of many
Of these new gases is that they are
dangerous or very irritating to men.
horses, and mules. and require the use
of masks and great care in handling.

IMITATION OF JUNE C0ND|-
T|0NS GOOD FOR COWS

Limitation Of June conditions is
what the dairyman should strive for
throughout the remainder of the sum-
mer MONTHS" said ]. r. Dice, dairy
man at the A. c., in answer to in
quires as to feed and care of dairy
COWS during August and September.
>''To see that. the COWS get enough
feed is the main thing during the late
summer months just the same as at
other times of the year," said Mr.. Dice.
{ "Most pastures in this state need sup
plement in August and September and
the first consideration is to supply a
succulent feed because the pastures
are becoming quite dry. Siage is the
ideal supplement to late summer pas
lures. If the silage cannot be supplied,
the cows should be fed hay or grain.
The amount of grain to feed will de-
pend on the pasture and the amount of
milk the COW gives"
"Cows on good pastures or on pas
ture supplemented with green feed or
silage need not be fed unless they
give % pounds of milk day or more.
If they give 25 pounds of milk they
should have three pounds of feed and
If they give 40 pounds of milk day
they should have nine pounds of feed
a day in addition to pasture and sill
age" said Mr.. Dice. when pastures
are dried up or exhausted the COWS
should be fed one pound of grain for
every four pounds of milk the same as
in the winter"
In June there is plenty of succulent
feed in the pastures, the temperature
allows the COW to be comfortable, and

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on cuItivation-Plan
to Keep Weeds Out.

Much Of the success Of vegetable
culture depends on keeping the hoe
going. Never miss chance when the
ground is in semimoist condition.
That is just the very best time for the
work. Keep stirring as deeply as
possible between the rows of all young
growing vegetables to open up the
soil and lay it ready for the action of
sun and air BY this process weeds
never get foothold, far less reach the
seeding stage. If this plan is per-
sisted in one can almost see the
vegetables growing. 1t is not hard
work, and it is well worth the time it
takes.

CLUB MEMBERS ASSIST
IN SOLVING PROBLEMS

(By H. E. Killing, State Club Leader)
That club members can assist in
solving community problems affecting
the farm and home has been clearly
shown by county club programs re-
Gently conducted by club agents in
different counties.
In Barnes county, a days programs
consisted of one number by every
club in the county. Demonstrations
by teams and individuals, vocal solos,
instrumental solos, and readings made
up the program. An especially inter
: esting feature was community band
made up mostly Of juniors who are
club members. The club members of
the county later put on full num-
ber on the Valley City chautauqua pro-
gram.
Hettinger county showed the nature
of it's club work in Il series of eXcep-
tionally strong programs in which 16
demonstrations teams took apart. Two
district programs were held and teams
were chosen in agriculture and home
economics to represent the districts
in third community get-together day.
Clothing work was represented by
demonstrations of proper care of
clothing" "Short-cIts in clothing con-
struction," proper use of patterns, y
''Selection of garments as to proper
combination of colors suitable to the
wearer," and Making of paper hats. y
This latter demonstration was said by
feminine admirers to be especially
practical. Hats made by club mem
bers to match any dress or complex
ion were exhibited. The cost ranged
from II cents to one dollar.
A riot was nearly precipitated in
one case when the audience was in
vlted at the close of the demonstra-
ton to sample the appetizing potato
dishes prepared by the team during
its demonstration. Other subjects
demonstrated were Canning to bal
ance the winter diet" Proper testing
Of milk" Making cheese from surplus
milk" marketing of graded eggs, -
and "Pit silo construction" Specific
instances We're cited of poultry club
members actually getting five cents
Der dozen for eggs above the market
price as result Of offering stand
arlized product for sale. A pit silO
team left no doubt as to the value of
a slO on the average North Dakota
farm and us to the proper method OF
building Il pit silo. The team showed
the different steps by constructing a
miniature silo In each case, the DEM
Onstrations were connected in some
way with the project being carried by
the club members ut home.
