Dealing with the lice and mite menace on the poultry farm is one of the many details which so great ly affect the efficiency, and conse quently the profits, of poultry keep ing in summer. When various parasites go un checked, the birds’ feed consump tion and productiveness are serious ly curtailed. Lice and mites are two species which are easily recog nized and on which war should be declared as soon as they are de tected. To find lice, carefully inspect the skin on the abdomen of several birds. When present, lice may be noticed hurrying to take refuge be neath the feathers. Their presence may also be noted by the existence of egg masses on the shorter feath ers about the head of the bird or on the fluff feathers on the ab domen. The easiest and most practical treatment for body lice is to apply nicotine sulphate of 40 per cent strength in a thin stream to the roost tops. Treat the roosts about a half hour before dark and repeat the treatment in a week to 10 days. Two such treatments should protect the flock for the rest of the sum mer. The principle of the treat ment is that the heat of the birds’ bodies volatilizes the nicotine, which penetrates the feathers and kills the lice. Unhatched lice eggs are un affected by the treatment but will have hatched by the time the sec ond application is made. Mites, unlike lice, do not live con stantly on the bodies of birds. Their presence is detected by a close in spection of the crevices about the roosts and nests where they may be observed as a grayish or reddish powder-like substance that moves when closely watched. Hiding in such crevices by day these tiny parasites migrate to the birds’ bodies at night and, after suck ing blood, return to their hiding places. An application of an ap proved mite oil, old efwik-case oil, or crude oil to the roosts and nests will eliminate all danger from these pests for at least six months, de pending upon the lasting qualities of the oil used. Handle Wool Carefully in Packing for Market Mayor Fred Howell of Shawneetown, 111., right, helps Clifford Durham and his family select their new home on the model of the new town. Fourteen hundred citizens are going to move to a new site three miles to the west and 400 feet above sea level. The re-location project, expected to take two years, was undertaken as a result of last winter’s floods that completely inundated the community.

Adam of the British royal flying corpa, being fitted with a special high altitude pressure suit before his recent attempt at a high altitude record. Lieut. Adam reached a height of 63,937 feet, setting a new high altitude record. In the preparation of wool for the market, special care should be tak en to tie and pack the fleeces prop erly. Manufacturers discriminate against damaged or dirty fleece be cause of the excessive shrinkage which takes place when such wool is cleaned. Shearing sheep on a clean floor or canvas will protect the fleece from dirt, grass or straw. Do not let the animal kick the fleece apart. It is hard to wrap a torn fleece as neatly as an unbroken one. Before a fleece is rolled, all tags, dirt and foreign material should be removed. Then the sides and neck should be folded in and the entire fleece rolled into a com pact ball, starting with the tail-end and ending with the shoulders. Never use binder twine for wrap ping up a fleece, because the fibers work into the wool, do not take dye and appear in yarn and woolen fab rics as coarse, colorless material. Buyers object to fleeces tied with such twine. Instead, use standard paper twine. Most fleeces should be wrapped two ways around, especial ly if the wool is short.—Wallace»’ Farmer. Agricultural Notes Keep fresh, clean water or milk before growing poultry. • • • AIRPLANE BICYCLE Each 500 chicks should have at least one acre of range. • • • Cannibalism among chicks is largely caused by lack of something to do, to over-crowded houses, or to hunger. • * • Chicken tight fencing should be erected to keep the birds off dis eased ground. * • • Washing eggs diminishes their keeping quality and hastens their deterioration. • • • • Chopped Swiss chard is an excel lent green feed for chickens during the hot months. • • • Do not overcrowd young chickens.

TA EAR Mrs. Post: My husband and I were planning to go with another couple to a big dance in town when the day before out of town relatives just arrived without any notice at all. We tried to per suade them to go to the dance with us but they said they did not care for dancing and also they had not come prepared with evening clothes. We even tried to supply the clothes, but no, they would not go. We felt that we should go since we had promised our friends. We explained the situation and they seemed very sincere in wanting us to go without them. They stayed home with the radio and the dog. Next day they acted hurt and before leaving re marked that they were glad their visit had not interfered with our pleasure. I certainly feel that they have branded me as a discourteous hostess and can’t help wondering whether I was wrong. Answer: A question like this is so hard to answer because if I say you were perfectly right in going out, the chances are that some of my readers would feel about it as your guests apparently did. And yet the real fault was that of your guests who came without asking you if it would be convenient to have them. And this is a thing which in my opinion no one should take for granted—not even a nearest relative, unless she knows there is plenty of room and also that her hostess will feel free to do just as you did. • • • ABC's in Manners: Invitations and Creetings Pattern 1458 pleasure of owning so colorful ■ quilt that fits into any bedroom.
