REMEDY FOR POULTRY MITES
Blood Sucking Parasites Live Entirely
on Blood of FoWl--Coal-Tar
Products Effective

tPrepared by the United States Department
OF Agrlcuiture.)
VI all parasites affecting poultry,
ordinary poultry mites are probably
the most troublesome and destructive
unless kept under control. says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
lure. Unlike the lice, poultry mites
are bloodsuckIng parasites and live
entirely on the blood of the fowl They
are very small and when not filed
with blood are gray In color and are
called gray mites. However, when
they have been on the body of the
1oWi and filed 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 go to roost the mites come
cut of their hiding places, crawl onto
the birds, aid suck the blood from
their bodies. The Irritation and loss

come pale in comb and wattles and
poor in flesh; sitting hens may desert
their nests and spoil their eggs, if tbly
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
cracks and creyices during the day,
the first thing that should be done
to get rid of them is to give the poultry
houses, roosts, nests, ETC., 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.
IL the mites are to be kept from an
noying the fowls.

CONTROLLING COOLING MOTH
liquid Spray of Lead Arsenatc is Rec
commended by Expert of Okla
homa Station.

A liquid spray of lead arsenate Is
about the only method Of controlling
The cooling moth. The spray COM
monty know as the calyx spray is OF
greatest Importance in preventing ap-
pies from becoming wormy.
Use one and one-half pounds of DOW
dered lead arsenate to so gallons Of
water, or If the paste form of lead ar
senate is used add three pounds to
80 gallons of water.
The young worms of the first brood
usually enter the fruit through the
calyx or blossom end of the apple.
Make the application after most Of
the petals have fallen. The rule usu-
ally followed Is to spray when about
three-fourths Of the petals or white
part Of the blossom are shed. To be
effective, the application must be made
before the calyx end Of the apple
closes. After the calyx is closed, it is
almost impossible to force the poison
into 1t.
The application should be made with
pump that will maintain at least 200
pounds constant pressure. Use a good,
strong spray hose and extension rod
equipped with a bordeaux nozzle or
spray gun.
The spray must be forced into the
calyx end of the apple This means
that the tree must be sprayed from all
angles. Each calyx cup must be load
ed with poison because from this cup
the young worm takes its first lunch.
Do not omit the first or calyx spray 1t
Is the most effective.
A few worms will evade the calyx
spray. Some of them will first feed
on the tender leaves and then ente.
the fruit through the side instead OF
the end.
A second spray consisting of the
same amount of lead arsenate added
to so gallons Of bordeaux mixture
should be applied about two weeks
after the first spray.
A complete spray schedule for con-
trolling the cooling moth is not COM
plete until four different sprays are
applied. The third spray should DO
the same as the second and applied
about four weeks after the second
spray. The fourth spray Is the same
as the second and should be applied
about four weeks after the third 1t
would be better to omit the third and
fourth than to omit the first and sec
ond. The first should not be omitted

gist, Oklahoma Agricultural expert

SUPERIOR RED RASPBERRIES
Most Varieties Grown In Middle West
Have Been Free From Disease
or Insect Enemies.

While red raspberries naturally grow
wild in cool climates, when cultivated
they can be made to produce good
crops in warmer climates. So far
most varieties Of red raspberrles
grown In the Middle West have been
reasonably free from plant diseases
or insect enemies, SO 1t is good crop
for our fruit garden.
Fruit of this kind requires little
more attention to details to secure
crop than some Of the more commonly
grown small fruits. Adverse weather
conditions, both in summer and In WIN
ter, frequently cause injury to tina
canes, but good cultural methods Will
90 long way toward overcoming this
trouble.

They need a house only during cold
or stormy weather, when an open shed
should be provided.
Large boxes, barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed TO make nests on the floor
of the house.

SIX MILLION DUST
PARTICLES USE D.
To COVER ONE INCH
Tedious Experiment Carried
Out By Chicago Research
Laboratory

CHICAGO, May Sit requires more
than 100000 tiny dust particles to
cover a glass plate one inch square,
according to Investigators at the
Structural Materials Research Labor
atory of the Lewis institute here.
Although it would seem hopeless
task to count these millions of dust
particles and measure their exact size,
these Lewis institute investigators
have carried out series If tests in
which these operations were per-
formed
The tests were conducted to deter
mine the fineness of portland cement.
and it was discovered that if average
sized cement particles were laid in
closely fitting rows 1t would require
100000 to cover the same area.
In making the tests samples of
cement were blown up series of
brass tubes by compressed air. This
operation separated the tiny particles
and the sizes were then obtained by
microscopic measurement. The &C.
ment particles had already passed
through the standard testing sieve
specified by government require
ments. Such sieve contains 10000
holes to the square inch and is woven
of bronze wire finer than a human
hair. The sieve Is finer than silk and
will hold water. Government STAN
dards require that IS per cent of a
given quantity of cement be fine
enough to pass through this sieve.
