REMEDY FOR POULTRY MITES
sieod Sucking Parasites 1.-Two Entirely
on Blood Of Fowf-coal-Tar
Products Effective.

prepared ~ the United States Department
Of ASriouiture)
OF all parasites affecting poultry,
ordinary poultry mites are probably
he most troublesome and destructive
unless kept under control, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Unlike the lice, poultry mites
are bloodsucking parasites and live
entirely on the blood of the fowl. They
are very small and when not filled
with blood are gray in color and are
called gray mites. However, when
they have been on the body of the
fowl and filled themselves with blood
they look red and are called red mites.
They do not stay on the fowls body
all the time, like lice. but during the
day hide away In cracks and crevices,
behind boards that are near the roosts,
In the cracks of brood coops, and In
other places. At night when the fowls
and chicks 60 to roost the mites come
out of their hiding places, crawl onto
the birds, and suck the blood from
their bodies. The Irritation and loss
Of blood causes mature fowls to be-
come pale in comb and wattles and
poor in flesh sitting hens may desert
their nests and spoil their eggs, If they
do not die on the nests, and chickens
become weak and droopy and in many
instances die from the attacks.
Since poultry mites hide away in
racks and crevices during the day,
the first thing that should be done
to get rid of them is to give the poultry
houses, roosts, nests, etc, a good clean
ing. After the cleaning, spray thor
oughly with kerosene. crude oil, or
some effective coal-tar preparation,
making sure that the spray reaches all
the cracks and crevices and every
other place where the mites might
be hiding. This coal-tar preparation
Is most effective and lasts longest. 1t
can be purchased locally with full
directions for mixing and use. 1t Is
necessary to spray thoroughly and
often, especially during warm weather.
If the mites are to be kept from an.
noying the fowls.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Clean narrowing pens and clean
sows will ave your pigs.
It is important that the eve get a
moderate amount Of exercise.
The only trouble about sheep is that
more farmers do not raise them.
Weak pigs are almost SURF to re-
suit when the SOW is kept on a feed
OF corn alone.
Pigs that get plenty OF sunlight nre
less likely to get sick thnn those that
do not.
Exercise Is nm essential item for
pigs. II they are permitted TO lie In
their nest and grow fat, they are apt
to contract thumps.
Care must always be taken that
pregnant ewes are not chased by dogs
or damned through narrow gates or
doors as any rough treatment will
cause a large per cent Of loss Of
lambs and perhaps of ewes.

POULTRY NOTES

Culling the flock reduces the cost

Chicks that are overfed or under
norrished are, alike, Improbable.
The demand for capons Is growing
every year and there is always a mar
ket for them.
Within the past few years ducks
and geese have both been selling at
high enough figures to make them
profitable.
SO long as the geese and ducks are
growing rapidly It is not necessary to
feed grain heavily, provided they have
good pasture. Just enough grain to
keep them strong and vigorous is all
that they require.
Never make the mistake of putting
young chicks on a bare cold floor with
out any litter OF any kind.

SCRUB BULL IS UNPOPULAR
Recognized by Farmers as Great an
Obstacle to Progress as Bovine
tuberculosis.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AGriculture)
While the scrub bull cannot strictly
be classed as an animal disease, he Is
achieving similar ~unpopularity. Farm
ers In many sections of the country
have recognized the scrub bull to be as
great an obstacle to progress as bo-
vine tuberculosis, have placed him in
the same class, and the two are being
driven out together.
The state Of West Virginia Is max
Ing q strong drive against both. On
January 1, 1923. approximately 5000
herds in the state. containing $4,000
cattle. were under supervision for the
eradication of bovine tuberculosis. On
that late a law went into effect max
ing 1t unlawful to use the scrub bull,
stallion, Jack, boar or ram which is
not %purebred, for public service for
pay. AS evidence of sentiment In sup
port of the law, in one day recently
the bureau OF animal industry of the
United States Department Of Agricul'
ture received enrollments from 100 live
stock owners In West Virginia who
placed their live stock operations on a
strictly purebred basis by enrolling in
the nationwide Better Slres-Better
Stock" campaign.
A group of Pennsylvania dairymen
recently urged the enactment of a
purebred law for their state, and in the
same resolution pledged themselves to
furnish tuberculln-tested purebred
sires to the daIrymen Of their county
at reasonable prices.
Three of the five states most active
In better-sires work since the begin
ming of the campaign nave more than
10000 herds each under supervision
for the eradication of tuberculosis,
showing that the countrywide cru
sades against these two enemies of
good live stock are going along side by
side.
Secretary Wallace further con-
demned the scrub bull when he de-
clded that federal funds appropriated
to reimburse farmers for cattle react
ing to the tuberculin test would no
longer be paid for scrub bulls.
DIR. ]. A. Herman, who has been In
charge of the Observation-Disclosures
work Of the federal government since
the beginning of the work, recently en-
dorsed the better-sires movement by
enrolling himself and agreeing to use
purebreds of good quality in all his
breeding operations. Doctor Herman
was given emblem No. 1884.
officials Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have observed
that any great Improvement along one
line of live stock work In a community
or state is usually accompanied or
closely followed by general progress
along many lines. Each successful
project lends encouragement to other
worthy projects. One Of the latest
developments is a general demand
from farmers interested In the better
sires movement for some constructive
help from the department along the
line of better live stock feeding. I'M
proved quality In live stock stimulates
a desire among livestock owners for
knowledge of improved methods Of
feeding. The department Is preparing
to render such a service, which Will be

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
BY USING AREA PLAN
Minnesota Begins Work on Erad-

Proposed That Counties Pay for Test
Ing Of Cattle at Rate Of rs Cents

Be Paid.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Minnesota, third In rank as q dairy
state, has now definitely taken UP the
area plan for the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis. Counties, states, and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are to cooperate In carrying on
the work. Some time ago a commit
tee Of breeders was appointed by the
state live stock sanitary board to In
yestigate plans for continuing the fight
against the disease. Recently the com
nlittee, met with the sanitary board
and n resolution was unanimously
adopted asking the legislature for
$120. 900 for area work for two years,
the work to be carried on in two coun-
ties. lin addition, the legislature is to
be asked for 100000 per annum for
two years fors accredited-herd work.
The plan is. approved by the state
veterinarian.
According to the plans laid out, 1t is
proposed that the counties pay for the
testing Of the cattle ut the rate Of %
cents a head. The fund resulting from
this charge will be used to pay the
Inspectors, local, state and federal,
who are assigned to the work. In
IDENTITIES will be paid In the regular
way.
The three big dairy states-Wiscon-
SIN, New York, and Minnesota-are
now all taking up area work, which
has become the. predominant plan for
tho eradication Of the great cattle
plague. Some OF the states where the
infection Is light are expecting to be
entirely rid Of the disease within few |
years.

SOY BEAN OF MUCH BENEFIT

Leguminous crops, such as cloyers

than non-leguminous crops, such as
timothy, bluegrass, etc. At present
leguminous crops are mostly grown
for forage, and when concentrates rich
In protein are needed to balance ra-
lions, they must be purchased in the
form OF Asxseed meal, cottenseed meal
or tankags.
The soy bean offers 4 partial solu-

anywhere from 10 to % bushels an
acre Of seed, depending on soil and

and used to supplement other feeds.
