EIGHT KINDS OF LICE
ATTACK YOUNG POULTRY

Eight varieties OF lice are known
to affect young poultry when Matched
md brooded by hens. Incubator and
brooder chicks are rarely affected by
lice unless the sparrows can get into
lie broodcr. When chickens are af-
rectcd by lice they often become
droopy and lose flesh.
"lt is not difficult to rid a flock of
these pests if one or two treatments
can be given, " SAYS Clara NJ. Suffer,
extension poultry specialist at State
college.
"a good ointment can be made by
mixing one ounce Of blue ointment
with two ounces of cup grease or hard
oil. Apply a portion about the size
Of a sweet pea seed, for young poultry
under each wing. This will take care
of the body lice only, but n applica-
ton is usually sufficient as it will re-
main long enough to kill the nits that
hatch out from six to ten days later.
"The head lice are grayish white
in color and affect young poultry
more seriously than the body lice.
They are especially fatal to ducks,
gees and turkeys. One head louise will
kill a young turkey. For treatment,
dip the tip of the finger in melted
lard and rub this we'll around the
comb. Dip again and rub back of the
ear. Repeat fer other ear. Dip again
and rub under bill and jaw. This
does not give the head a greasy APP
pearance but is enough to destroy the
lice. A few drops of kerosene, car
bolic acid or stock dip may be added
to the lard. Keep the poultry in q
warm place for a couple of hours
after greasing."

The Wood Indian Day School closes

passed very quietly in Wood. Most
of the business houses closed during
the afternoon. Many foated the Stars
and Stripes in the breeze. There was
no special program for the observance
of the day, On account of the mud
DIV condition of the roads most every
body stayed at home.

BY comparing the total of these
sales by the price received for a case
of high quality eggs it is apparent
there has been a loss of $2.4O a case
or Sc a dozen due to deterioration.
The responsibility for this loss is
divided between the producer and the
agencies of marketing. The farmer,
however, is the worst offender, as it
is estimated that seventy per cent OF
the deterioration occurs before the
eggs reach town. This means that a
state marketing over one and me
half million cases of eggs sustains a
loss amounting to nearly half a mil
lion dollars annually. About one
third of the marketable eggs reach an
outside market but the prices these
eggs sell for determines the price paid
for all eggs sold in the state. Can
egg producers and dealers afford such
a penalty for c~arelessness and inefh-
cient handlingf H. M. Lackie.

throughout Canada, are to be marked
with suitable headstones by the i'm

will receive perpetual care. These are
the graves of members of the Cana

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Final series OF tests on one of the
largest and most comprehensive road
experiments ever attempted began
March u. This road, located at
Bates. Illinois, was designed and con-
structed by the Illinois division OF
highways under the direction of Cliff
ford Older, chief highway engineer,
with the bureau of public roads, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
cooperating. 1t is two miles long
and includes 63 different sections rep
resenting as many different methods
and kinds of construction, having
various thicknesses of concrete, cement
grout and asphalt-filled brick as well
as asphalt concretes and concrete with
rolled stone bases.
Since the completion of its construc-
ton insApril, 1921, corps of engineers
has been kept busy making observa-
tions for effect of temperature changes,
static and repeated loads and sub
grade conditions, thus collecting data
which when analyzed will supplement
the information necessary for the ra-
tional design of roads.
The road will now be subjected to
the final test, that of very heavy truck
traffic, for the application of which
will be used fleet of 10 motor trucks
received by the state from the sur
plus of the War department. AT first
these trucks will be lightly loaded,
but as the test progresses the load will
be increased until a maximum is
reached giving 12,000-pound rear
wheel load. The results will show
definitely the types of pavements

will not satisfy the requirements Of
such traffic conditions as might be ex-
pected during the next 10 or 20 years.
The careful observation of the
various sections In the absence of
traffic which has formed the first part
of the investigation, it is expected, will
enable the engineers to ascertain the
structural weaknesses which cause
such failures as may take place in
the traffic tests. 0
After the experiment has been COM
pleted, this road with it's broken sec

ROADS PAY DIVIDENDS

A wagon with load of 5000
pounds required an average
draft of los pounds on a gravel
road in dry condition, in a re-
cent test at the Missouri College
of Agriculture. The same load
on dry clay road required u
draft Of 321 pounds. This shows
the great variation in the work
done in hauling and in the size
of load team can handle, says
]. G. Wooley, chairman of the
agricultural engineering depart
ment, which conducted this test.
The gravel roads prove their
value even more completely un-
der spring conditions. This load
on the same roads after a heavy
rain required draft of 1S0
pounds on the gravel, and 372
pounds on the clay. This is only
one of the many advantages of
fered by all-the-year roads.
