LlCE-M|TE CONTROL
IN POULTRY HOUSES
IS IN PART SIMPLE
Sodium FIuoride, Mercurial
Ointment and Painting Are
Among the Remedies

Lice and mites are very partial to
warm weather ana during the heat of
summer they increase and multiply,
according to Geo. p. Goodearl. in
structor in poultry husbandry, North
Dakota Agricultural college. IN
checked they soon over-run the flock
and turn the life blood Of the fowl
into square meals for themselves.
They have no market value ana can
quickly bring the bird to the point
where it too has no market value. No
chick can supply a host of mites with
a goodly portion Of its blood and at
the same time grow and develop as
it should. The nutrients in the blood
stream are contributing to the
growth, development and egg produc-
ton of mites. and still more mites.
Body lice live on the bodies of the
fowl, crawl around and make them
generally miserable. They stay right
with the fowl at all times, which
makes the treatment for their elm
ination quite simple. They are
obliged to come to the vent Of the
fowl for moisture. An application of
sodium flouride, or of mercurial oint-
ment in the feathers just below the
vent will quickly rid the bird Of body
lice.
Either of these remedies may be
obtained from the drug store or from
poultry supply houses. The sodium
fluoride comes in a powder form and
the mercurial ointment as an ONT
ment. The sodium fluoride may be
diluted to a satisfactory application
by the addition Of two parts of plas-
ter Of Paris. The mercurial ointment
may also be diluted by adding an
equal amount of vaseline. In either
case they should be we'll mixed.
Red mites. although the most de-
structive Of the two. do not spend all
their time o. the body Of the fowl.
During the day they conceal them
selves in the cracks of the roosts,
dropping boards. and other crevices
about the house. At night, when the
birds are on the roost. they sally
forth. swarming yer them, and each
drinks its fill of blood. Painting the
roosts and dropping boards and the
walls around them is advised by Mr..
Goodearl. Almost any coal tar dis
~infectant. If applied undiluted, COM
pletely covering the area just men,
toned. is effective. Waste crank
case oil applied once a month during
the summer and fall discourages the
spread Of mites. Most important is
1t to see that the disinfectant gets
into all the cracks, for 1t Is there that
the mites hide.

is not swept away by washouts.
Can Sow Later and Earlier

~ - AhA
Artificial drying has displaced
natural drying in all the arts" Mr..
Mason said. agriculture virtually is
alone In continuing to rely on the
ordinary sunshine to dry its products.
No successful man nowadays puts
brine in the sun to get salt. Nor does
any successful enterprise try to dry
brick In the sun preparatory to burn
ing if it expects a profitable kiln. Al!
material used in the manufacture Of
Portland cement is dried artificially.
Look where you will. natural drying
has been abandoned in modern life.
mot only docs artificial drying of
crops make them much nor valuable
but it enables 4 new view Of the en-
tire subject of agriculture. It enables
the season to begin earlier in the
year and to 60 later. Thus. we make
excellent hay in May. and on one oc-
casion. at least. l have made a crop
of alfalfa hay worth as much as the
corn crop Of my neighbor before my
neighbours corn crop IA planted at
all. At the other end of the season.
coWpcaS may be harvested and cured
In November at a time when all con-
ventional farming has long shut up
shop for the year"
Mason points out that the farmers
income rises with the number of food
units per acre. BY his methods, he
would increase the present average Of
200 pounds of protein per acre to 1900
pounds per acre. This also more than
triples the working days possible and
makes the demand for labor continu-
Gus rather than intermittent as at
present.
Virtues He Claims
The improved plants, for complete
mechanical handling of the crops anu
with artificial drying proposed by
Mason, can be operated 200 days a
year regardless Of the weather on q
600-acre tract. Mr.. Mason has in
terested groups Of farmers to COM
bine their holdings to rent or buy
these plants on a plan that has
proven very profitable to the farm
ers.
This is how Mason summarizes his
recommendations to agriculture:
/. A crop which will bind the land
together in the manner the ancient
prairie sod did, and stop washing or
sheet erosion.
?. An agriculture which will great
ly improve labor conditions.
3. Continuity Of operation.
4. Lengthening of the growing
season.
5, Complete mechanical handling
of the product.
6. Increase in yield per acre of
animal feed at least three-fold what
is now accomplished.
7. A compensation to all engaged
