Foul air flues should have the lower opening one foot from the stable floor, Parasites are minute organisms whieh live®upon animals and plants with no apparent benefit to those from which they rob their sustenance. Poultry parasites are a menace to success, and if any good thing can be said of them it is they compel poultry keepers to clean up frequently. There are about thirtysvarieties of external parasites that live on domes- | tic poultry. The major part of these Jice are found on the bodies of fowls, turkeys, ducks, geese or guineas and two or three feet above the ridge of the roof. They should be few in number and large in size as compared with the intake flues. These outtake venient, although if but one is used it should be placed near the center of the stable. Foul air flues should be as straight as possible, air tight in con- struction and nonconductors of heat and cold.
