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.

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.

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.
