Aotes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
of Oregon and Washington, Specialty Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions
THE CHICKEN MITE.
By A- G. Lunr. O. A. C
Of all forms of vermin which prey
upon poultry probably none are more
harmful than the chicken mite. This
little fellow is called by scientists
"dermanyssus gallitae redi." With
such a name we would suppose him to
be quite a large creature. However,
the mite is so small that in many
cases it escapes notice from the farm
er or poultryman, and thus may be
permitted to carry on its work of dev
astation. It has been noted that in some eases
where hens have been infested with
found in the adjoining lofts, thus
showing their tendency to wander A
very common place for the mite to
hide is under the straw in a nest.
When the chicken goes on the roost or
in the nest the mite leaves its place of
hiding and crawls upon the fowl. It
will cnly stay upon the fowl, as a rule.
The following formula for mixing a
spray is given in bulletin No. 69 of
the Iowa experiment station: "Take
one-half pound of hard soap and shave
it into one gallon of soft water,
it on the fire and bring it to a
By this time the soap will have dis
solved. Then remove the soap solu
tion from the fire and stir into it at
once while hot, two gallons of kero
sene. This makes a thick creamy
emuUion which is made ready for use
by diluting with ten volumes of soft
water and stirring well. It can be
used as a spray, dip, or wash."
The above spray will kill all the
mites and eggs it comes in contact
with in rive minutes. However, there
then leaves the fowl and returns to its
place of hiding. Thus it escapes the
attention of the attendant.

Habits of the Mitt.
The term "robber" may be truth
fully applied to the mite, for most of
its work is done at nieht or in the
darkness. Their hiding places are in '
the cracks and corners, also under the
roosts and in any place where they ,
may be hidden from view. In these
secure places they lay their eggs and
hatch their young. Great masses'
Getting Rid of the Mite.
There are a great many methods of
destroying the mite. Some of which
would be fumigating, burning with a
torch, and spraying.
Fumigating as a rule is impractica
ble, for in order to fumigate the house
thoroughly it must be made air tight.
Burning with a torch is not to be ad
vised, for not only is there danger of
fire, but it is impossible to reach any
of the mites but those upon the sur
face. It has therefore been found

therefore be
necessary to repeat the spraying two
or three times. The Iowa bulletin
suggests that after applying the spray
two or three times, repeat the follow
ing day.
There are numerous preparations
upon the market which have given
good results. At this station we have
used a product called "Firolium."
This we spray upon the roosts and
sides of the bouse, and by applying it
twice a year there is very little trou
ble with the mite question.
BACTERIA IN THE DAIRY.
Ra
New Methods In Creameries as
suit of Use of Bacteria.
By Dr. E. G. Pwnm. Onm AfrtniltUTal
Creameries and dairies which are
run on any considerable scale now use
what is called a starter. A starter
is simply a growth of lactic acid bac
teria (bacteria which produce lactic
acid from the sugar in the milk) upon
some suitable food, as sterile milk, or
beef extract. The starter is added to
the pasteurized milk or cream to pro
duce the right kind of change in the
milk or cream for butter and cheese
making.
Usually the right kind of souring
occurs naturally, but it cannot be de
pended upon. Very frequently the
product becomes ropy or stringy or
bitter, or it tastes or smells in an un
desirable way. It is to avoid these
undesirable conditions thst cultures of
the right kind of bacteria are prepar
ed in bottles and poured into the
cream which has previously been pas
teurized in order to remove the unde
sirable bacteria. The inoculated
cream is after inoculation allowed to
ripen.
In the use of a starter, to be suc
cessful the dairyman must be first of
all extremely cleanly. It is obvious
that it would be valueless to inoculate
milk with a desirable organism and at
the same time allow by slovenly meth
ods the entrance of other kinds of bac
teria. The work done by the right kinds of
organismsm would be offset by the
work of the others.
The culture is sent out in a small
bottle. A bottle of milk is pasteur
ized and the culture added to the milk,
which is next set aside until it coagu
lates, when it is added to cans of pas
teurized milk.
The principle back of the use of the
starter is that of replacing harmful or
useless bacteria by. those with the
power to produce exactly the right
jut i sort of chemical change in the cream.
boil I ii is oovious inereiore mat a meinou
wnicn wouia destroy an trie oacteria
in the bottles of milk which are to bo
added to the cans for ripening pur
poses would be most desirable.
For this reason there has recently
been put into use a method of steriliz
ing instead of pasteurizing (pasteuriz
ing, of ctourse, destroys only a certain
percentage of the bacteria present. )
The apparatus necessary in this oper
ation is a simple metal retainer of
some sort which can be connected with
the main steam supply of the cream
ery. A simple boiler is sometimes
used. A rather close fitting lid on
this sort of steamer will allow a tem
perature of 100 degrees C. inside.
Heating at this temperature for thirty
minutes on four successive days will
completely sterilize the milk in a
quart bottle. To this sterilized milk
is added the commercial culture of
lactic acid bacteria, which of course
rapidly multiply and after an incuba
tion of twenty-four hours may be add
ed to the cans of pasteurized milk.
In these operations loose cotton
plugs are used to prevent the entrance
of the bacteria of the air into the bot
tles. In making transfers, or if for
any other purpose the plugs are re
moved, care must be taken to prevent
the plugs coming in contact with any
surface, which of course would result
in a contamination of the milk when
the plugs are replaced.
This method of handling starters by
means of sterilized milk has met with
success, and is recommended to those
who have the facilities and inclination
for its use. It has been used with en
tire success in the Corvallis creamery;
and results from outside the state, not
ably from Michigan, where it was
applied under the direction of the ex
periment station of the state, justify
ita recommendation. It requires only
absolute cleanliness on the part of the
operator and attention to the details
of the operation.
The department of bacteriology of
the Oregon experiment station pro
poses to publish a bulletin on this sub
ject which Willi give instructions for
the use and results of the use of the
sterile method of handling starters.
