Edmmating VY aste Occa sioned by Poultry Parasites v'dly Infested Quarters the Result of Neglect or In difference. Formulas for Fumigation by Formaldehyde, Lime and Sulphur. My Raymond Keller (I'ractic.al I'oultryiiian) Many poultry raisers, especially tlio nmaieurs ami the. uwner of Uic farm floek, never think of taking preventive measures with regard to poultry pests until the floek una houses are overrun. When such condition exist t H cx. ceedlngly hard to uiomimo -the, trouble. Hie only effective way to fUht these oMtH is to establish a rule to lino preventive measures at regular liucna.. Uce and mites In the majority of canon are more numerous on the gen eral farm and backyard flock thnn on largo commercial poultry plants. This may be because there nre greater numbers of small flocks than large ones, but It is tr e that one finds few really modern commercial plants an noyed by vermin. The reason for this condition in small flocks is usually due to lack of sanitation or absolute Indifference to methods of prevention. If a commcr ciiil poultry farm treated the vermin question with equal indifference the owner would soon face failure. With modern methods of hatching and brooding artificially, the chicks seldom come In cctitnct with older birds, consequently, there is lltle ex cuse for either the birds or buildings becoming seriously Infested. Never theless, preventive measures must be practiced from the very first. I.Ike weeds, vermin seem to spring up from nowheres. Negloet the Cause o Pests I.lce and mites are the most com mon pests, and the ones that cause the greatest trouble. Old hens show a few lice even where preventivo measurcfc are practiced, but this is no reason for allowing vermin to overrun the quar ters. Young stock, artificially raised In clean surroundings, should show iu signs of lice unt 1 they are a year old. Chicks Infested with lice mean neg lect and nothing else, I .lee t lat attack poultry are of two kinds, common chicken lice and heud lice. The common lice are smaller and attack chickens of all sizes. These p;sts live on tho secretions of the body, skin and feathers. Frequent ly they become so thick as to cause death, especially in the case of young chicks and sitting hens. A pair of these pests under favorable conditions will easily breed thousands In u few months. Female lice lay their eggs on the fowl, cementing them to the feathers near the skin. In about ten days these eggs hatch anc It is only a short time till the young mature tind breed more. The best way to fight lice on the fowl Is with a dusting powder, such as can be made from equal parts of air-slacked lime, flowers of sulphur. tobacco du.it and road dust well mix-f ed. In dusting, the bird should be held by the feet, head down, an the powder applied with the hands, first to the legs, then the fluff, breast and under the wings, turning the bird over to do the back and neck. The powder should be thoroughly rubbed In, par- Hair Under Arms Th. origins! llaald ta Mint, anlrknt and nomlcal way to rraurt It.

Tho work can be accomplished ' 'iu n quicser ir two persons work to gether. one holding the bird while the other du?s tho dusting. If tho person doing the dusting will hold the fowl's head, keeping the hand over the eyes, little trouble will bo experienced by the bird fluttering during the opera tion. To he effective the dusting should be repoated In about three weeks to catch the new brood of ver min, and In bad cases a third treat ment is often necessary. Fumigation and spraying will de stroy all lice ,nnd mites about the house, and If reasonable cleanliness and disinfection are practiced, the dusting of tho hens will rarely be necessary. Most dust boxes are not very effect ive. Left to select their own bath, hens usually pick a slightly moist dust instead of the dry stuff most dust baths afford. This slightly moist dust If we may term It dust, has the effect of cleaning all scrut and dirt from the base of the feathers, leaving the skin of the fowl as if It were washed. The larger louse, known as the head louse, attack the young chicks about the head, frequently causing death. Hen-hatched chicks are usually the greatest sufferers. Ureaslng the top of each chick's head with a llttlo laru mixed with a few drops of creolip. j win uo iouna -uci.'iive. i no lara should be melted and the creolln add ed while it is liquid. Then use when cold as a grease. Mites are smaller than lice, usually red In color, though this color comes vhlefly from sucking the blood of the fowls. Their habit Is to livo In the cracks of the house during tho day and attack the flock on the roost at night, "hey lay tholr eggs In the cracks about the roosts and nosts of tho house and multiply much faster than lice. When the quarters are badly Infest ed with lice or mites it is best to clean out all litter and hum it. All paper lining should bo torn off and burned, and every corner cleaned thoroughly. After this the house should bo tight ly closed and fumigated. For this purpose chloride of lime and formaldehyde make one of the most effective dislnfectlves. Place a pound of chloride of lime in a sixteen quart bucket and pour a pint of for maldehyde over It, leaving the houso at once. These Ingredients act on each other, making a powerful gas. The amount mentioned is sufficient for a thousand cubic feet of air, space, that Is a houso twelvo feet iquare by seven feet high. Where the house Is of such size as to require several pounds of tho material It In best to use several containers placed In different parts of the house so as to spread the fumes. The amount of material given will require a six-teen-quart bucket to prevent It from boiling over. The gas should be al lowed to remain in tho house for six or eight hours. The fumes uro deadly and will overcome a person, so dive care should be taken. After the gas has been used, all roosts, nests and cracks should be painted with some coal-tar. disinfect ant, and then the entire Interior of the house should be sprayed until the solution drips. Formaldehyde, car bolic acid or any coal-tar disinfectant mixed with water Is good. A pint of any of these materials to three gallons of water will be strong enough. The common bedbug sometimes In fests the poultry house. It Is not known whether they bother the fowls or simply live on the filth about the house. From observation I do not be lieve they attack the birds. Neverthe le.H, they are exceedingly undesirable and must be eradicated. It is well known that they carry disease. Creo lln and formaldehydo sprays have never proved effective against this pest. Formaldehyde gas Is only partly effective, since It never seems to com pletely exterminate them. The very best thing to fight this pest is sulphur gas. made by burning tho flowers of sulphur in pans. For every thousand cubic feet of air space three pounds of sulphur should be used. Place the sulphur in a pan and pour a little wood alcohol or gasoline over It and then light It. -Only enough fluid to start the fire is necessary. The sul phur makes a very dense smoke. Tho operation should be repeated at least once within a few. weeks. The above methods are intended for use where the pests have gotten the upper hand. Under ordinary condi tions this would not be necessary. As a preventive measure It Is well to clean all houses at least once a month, sup To Save Beauty Avoid Dyspepsia Hut Don't Starve.

Sun Antonio, Texas, who has been a resident of that city for more than fifty years and a contrite- J tor and builder there for "5 years, made a remurkable statement re garding his experience with Tanlac, recently. "About two years ago," said Mr. KchulU'e, rheumatism got hold of me and I lost weight uiul all the energy 1 ever had seemed to leavo me. 1 suffered torture with the rheumatism, especially in my shoulders and knee joints, and I couldn't work an hour w thout my shoulders giving com pletely out.

I WRITE THEIR WILLS IN RHYME Many Queer Bequests Pound in Sol- ' client' Pay Books. I The "last will and testament," which the British prlvato frequently writes Into the llttlo army "pay book" which ho carries with him wherever ho goes, Is an interesting study. Wills made in tho trenches are legal with out witnesses, and the soldier's own signature is all that is required to innko such a will acceptable to the courts. Kven If the signaturo Is lack ing, tho will may still be accepted If there is evidence as to the handwrit ing or intention of tho testator. In every case the war authorities make every effort to carry out the soldiers' wishes, however crudely they are ex- ! pressed or however fantuatti they may be. I Many of these trench wills have ! Tommy Atkins' characteristic touch of humor. Homo are In dialect, some In phonetic spelling. Several have been In cipher which have taxed the war office experts to solve. Occasionally they leave purely imaginary posses- j slons to Institutions or fictitious per- i sons. Here is a will in rhymo which waa written while the soldier was on dutv at a "listening post" in No Man's land: I haven't a sweetheart, I haven't a I mother, I've only one sister, not evon a brother; My sister Susan Is all I've got. So of aught that's mino sho can havo the lot. This will went thru the courts with out question, despite its unusual form. Another will In rhyme, leaving tho money to the "first comor" is the fol lowing: Whoever first sets pyes on this Uets everything 1 leave, For my kith and kin are dead and gone. And I've not a friend to grieve. There's a tidy bit In tho bank you'll find. And my army pay, tho smnll. So, stranger, breatho one sigh for me, You're welcome to It all. This will was forwarded to England by the young sergeant who found It and he shortly afterwards received notification that the "tidy bit," which turned out to he a substantial sum of money, had been deposited to his ac count. Still another will In rhyme was written by a prlvato who had ueen cut offf rom his comrades for una, days without sleep, for the greater part of that time until the greatest desire In life seemed to him to get a big drinlc. It follows: If I'm knocked out by bullet or bomb When over the top we go, A gallon of beer I leavo to Tom Another to Squint-eyed Jo. !
