FIGHT LICE AND
MITES IN SUMMER

Kerosene has been used probably
more than any other one thing on the
average farm for fighting the lice and
mites found in the poultry house. II
Is sudden death and very satisfactory
except for one thing: evaporation Is
rather rapid and a new spraying or
other method of treatment Is re-
quired In a short time. II being al
ways on hand Is a real advantage.
Mixed half and half with waste ma.
chine oil or crank-case oil, kerosene
Is much superior TO use alone and will
remain effective much longer. Some
people report extremely satisfactory
results by mixing kerosene and com.
mercial fly spray for poultry use This
will often last two or three months.
Crude oil such as Is burned In the fur
naces OF many people and also used
for hog dip, is very effective In COM
battng lice and mites
Probably the most effective OF all
the spray preparations that can be
used Is coal-tar wood preservatlve
that can be purchased at most lumber
yards and drug stores poultry
house sprayed with this should not be
further troubled with mites or lice
for another year. Il is highly deslr-
able IN using this spray TO be very
careful to get every part covered. Also
care should. be used to put It on rath-
er thinly, especially around the nests
and perches. II will stick to the feet
OF the hens and when carried TO the
nests get on the eggs and injure their
quality both for market and for hatch
ing. The season OF rapid mutiplica'
ton OF llee and mites comes with the
warmer weather OF spring and effec-
tive eradication is more easily accom-
pllshed then than later, as well us
saving the drain upon the flock.

dairy cows to be high producers, we
have not developed their ability to as

Phosphorus is less likely to be lack

of phosphorus as well as calcium.

Care of Dairy Utensils
Is an Important Matter

II is more or less difficult to give
adequate care to the dairy utensils
during the summer months. This Is
due to the fact that hot scalding wa
ter or steam is more troublesome "a
obtain Proper care OF these utensils
is important during the summer
months due 10 the temperature which
favOrs the multiplication OF bacteria.
In the production of high-grade milk
II Is necessary that all utensils be
thoroughly cleaned, for II any or
ganIc matter is left in any OF
them, II is almost impossible TO pro-
duce the desired quality Of milk. says
b. w. Fairbanks. associate professor
animal husbandry, Colorado Agrlcul-
tural college.
IL the utensils are cleaned with
water just as Il comes from the well
or tap. some bacteria viii remain
which will multiply very rapidly dur
Ing the warm weather Of the summer
months. The utensils should be ster-
ilized and this is done by exposing
them TO live steam for several min
utes. In the cleaning Of tlnware they
should be first washed with cold wa
ter and then with hot wafer and a
washing powder that is alkaline in
nature. Ordinary soaps are not salts

Of the dairy After the tlnware has

feed is seldom worth keeping.
Four parts OF corn chop. two parts
OF bran. one quart Of lInseed or cotton
seed meal makes a balanced grain ra-
ton for a dairy COW.

Radio is in its infancy; but it is
the lustiest youngster of record. II

for amusement, for education and
for material application. Broad
casting from police stations and

hension of crooks who would other,
wise make clean getaway. Broad
casting weather conditions is of in
estimable value to farmers. Radio
has reduced enormously the hazard
of ocean navigation, and has saved
countless lives.

Science is immoral. Its inventions
are generally applicable alike tc
good and evil. Weapons protect
life by destroying life. Most health
giving remedies can also be used as
poisons. Chemistry is alike bless

REGULATE THE CARELESS
DRIVER

In 1925, total fatalities in the
United States involving automobiles
amounted to 1864. OF these, H.
78O occurred either on or at the
intersections of streets and high
ways, and LISA at railroad grade
crossings. In other words, nearly
81 per cent of all these fatalities oc-
Cured on highways away from rail-
road crossings.
If the public is to be protected
against careless or inexperienced
drivers, radical changes must be
made in all grade crossings of
railroads which would burden tax
payers and at best prevent only q
small portion of the accidents
in the issuance of licenses, policing
practices and the driving on high
ways. The source of danger is the
driver not the grade crossing.
Drastic penalties should be at
tached to the offense of driving ar
automobile while intoxicated, failing
to give or obey traffic signals, driv-
ing at night without proper mead
lights, driving at excessive speed.
Forfeiture of licenses and jail penal
tiles are none too severe where the
transgression results in avoidable
accidents.
The National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters is carrying
on an aggressive campaign against
the careess drivers in it's effort to
reduce accidents. Its companies
even refuse to insure known care
less or reckless drivers, for with in
surance such drivers feel that all
necessity for carefulress on their
part has been removed, and that
death or injury which they intiict
will be covered by insurance"
