AGRICULTURAL LICE AND MITES. The Latter a More Serious Pest Than the Former—How to Kill Them. It is now near the season of the year when the lice that infest poultry will be capable of accomplishing their greatest amount of harm. Likewise, this is the season when the poultry or rocst mite is making its appearance and laying eggs after having passed the winter in seclusion. These indi- viduals, if alive in the fall, will be the ancestors of thousands and perhaps millions of mites each one of which will have secured its board and room at the expense of some poultryman, writes J. A. Manter in the Connecticut Agricultural College Press Bulletin. Hen lice are aboundant at all sea- sons of the year. They do not have to hide away in the winter as their hab- itation is warm during this seascn as well as in summer. They live through- out their entire existence upon the body of the fowl and it is only by ac: cident that they may be found else- where. They seem to thrive better in winter than in summer. reason for ‘this is that the stock is kept in closer confinement and there- lore, is less able to ward off and free itself from the axw:ka of these little parasites, ultryman usually finds his_ bh'dl badly infested at this season, unless, of course, he has been treating for lice. Soon litle chickens ‘will be coming forth and if hatched g‘ ‘brooded by a lousy hen nyill become fested immediately and thoroughly, ingubator brood- from 1q | they ean Perhaps the | body INTERESTS done and that the resulting ointment is properly marked. ‘The method of application is to take an amount about the size of a pea on the finger, part the feathers, and put in on the flesh just below the vent. The result of this simple treatment is far above expectations as it is almost impossible to find a single louse on birds @ few days.after treatment. This method of control is imple, clean, and efficient. If the ointment is used to liberally on setting hens the eggs may become smeared thus causing possible injury to the developing em- bryos. To be on the safe side, one can dust setting hens with some lice powder repeating the q)e'mflpn two or three times at intervals of few days. To kill lice on the hflds ot young chickens use lard, The poultry mite is a more serious pest to poultry than the hen louse. It s often overlooked because of its habit of hiding away in cracks and crevices d of feeding at night. Its harmful ffects are often attributed to lice as these insects are more easily seen. The mite lives upon blood sucked from the of the hen The amount of blood necessary to satisfy a mite’s appetite | Col is'not large but as there may be hun- dreds or even more at the feast dur- ing the night, the loss to the bird must be appreciable The greatest harm is done by the irritation and suffering by the insertion of the mneedle- l!ke ‘beaks through which the blood is sucked and by the consequent nerv- ousness and loss of gleep Settd hens are often driven from the n and even killed by these wrmenwn. ‘There is sure t&lbe:.;. m ameng young i where be attacked by these blood- euwn‘irtu vn-l!y hide during the day In cracks and v _&W.,.., .m.m, Sy | e week Storrs is just haif over. | fitting port and Meriden, finishing the gov- érnment building in Haven, Briy Britain, business blocks in Hart- ford, store buildings in Bristol, apart- ment blocks in Hartford, storehouses in New Britain, store and tenement block in Bridgeport, garages in Hart- ford, and church in Bridgeport, with houvees for one, two, three, four, six and ewelve families in New Haven, Pridgeport, New Britain, Stamford.

New London last week there were seven realty sales to six a year ago. Mortgage loans last week amounted to $2,800 while a year afo the total was $9,800. vals one meed not fear the poultry mite. ‘The Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station has recently published a bul- letin entitled “‘Some Lice and Mites of Hen” which will be sent to any cne asking for it. JUST RIGHT TiME TO SPRAY. If Lime Sulphur Solution Burns Tips of Little Leaves No Alarm Need Be Felt. In all sections during the past week could be found people who were busi- ly engaged in spraying trees with strong lime sulphur solution. In most cases, the buds were sufficiently ad- vanced to insure efficient resuilts from spraying. The weather was not es- pecially favorable and some have not vet applied this spray. As previously urged it can be safely used up until the time when the leaves are from one-fourth to one-half inch in length when emerging from the buds. It is quite true that This spray may burn the tips of the little leaves if applied at this time, but this burning will not be serious as the inner leaves will come on and soon after it is completed one will not know that any has been done. Strong lime Buh)hur is ordinarily used at the rate of one gallon to eight gallons of water, and if applied at this time it will control much of the aphis. PRESERVING EGGS. Waterglass is Best Preparation That Can be Used. Market eggs are now retailing at 25 to 30 cents a dozen whereas six ‘months hence they will undoubtedly be seiling again for 50 and 60 cents a dozen and sometimes more as was the case last winter. ‘The eggs that are laid at this time can be kept over until the season of high prices at a cost of about two cents a dozen. It would therefore be a good investment to preserve eggs now and consume them next October, thus enabling the owner to sell at high ‘Whatever egg his pullets lay at that time. For preservation of eggs at home ‘waterglass seems to be the best pre- paration for one to use. It can be purchased at almost any drugstore for about 25 cents a quart. One quart of the waterglass mixed with twelve quarts of water that has been bofled and then allowed to cool will make enough mixture to preserve about 15 dozen eggs. The waterglass and wa- ter should be stirred until they are thoroughly mixed, then the liquid put into a stone jar that has been thor- oughly cleaned. When all is ready fha fresh eggs as they are gaf dropped into the waterglass nolnthm uch day. ‘Any eggs that float must be taken out. Sofled eggs should not good |be used nor should they we washed and then put into the waterglass be- cause washed eggs do not keep so well. -Such soiled eggs can be clean- ed and either sold at once or used at home. Tn filling the jar at least two inches of the liquid should cover the top layer of the eggs to allow for evaporation of some of the solution. The jar wken filled should be covered and stored in a cool cellar. April and May eggs are considered best for pre- serving—W. F. Kirkpatrick, Poultry Dens?tment. ‘Connecticut - Agricultural BEGIN TO CULTIVATE BERRY FIELDS. Nearly all berry flelds are dried out sufficiently to warrant starting cultivation at this time.

Indications un—Th-t Hens Will Aver- age 170 Eggs Aplcec This Year. At the'close Ol m twenty-sixth. the fifth laying competition at It seems therefore to take account of stock and ascertain the probabilities of equalling or surpassing the rec- ords of previous com To be sure th. contest bureau has, not been established as long as certain other bureaus which undertake to estimate | our crops and furnish us with weath- er; still there has been collected enough data to warrant an intelligent guess on the outcome of the present competition. In the first six months of the 1914 contest the hens laid 41 per cent of their yield for the year; in the 1815 contest they 'laid 41 1-2 per cent. Taking the average of these two, namely; 31 1-4 percent as a basis the hens in the present contest may be expected to lay a total of more than 170,000 eggs for the year. To put this another way each hen in the contest two years ago averaged to lay 144 eggs; each hen averaged 152 eggs last year; each is expected to lay 170 eggs in the present contest. Last year the best pen at the end of the first six months had laid a total of 1019 eggs. In the ‘present contest there are two pens, each or which is more than 100 eggs ahead of this echedulle. The best Individual production for the first six months Barred now there is a Rhode Island Red, a White Wyandotte and a White Leghorn each 15 eggs or more ahead of this record. Pinecrest Orchards’ pen of Reds from Groton, Mass., won first place for the week with a production of 58 eggs. Four pens of four different breeds from four different states tied for second place. Holliston Hill Poul- try Farm’s White Rocks from Hollis- ton Masss Obed G. Knight's White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R. L. ™ D. Clark’s Reds from Ierun, Conn., and the Club pen of White Leghorns from Springfield, 111, all laid 55 eggs each. Two Connecticut pens, namely, Springdale Poultry Farm's Reds from Durham_ and George Phillips’ Leg- horns from Seymour tied for third with 54 eggs each. The total produc- tion for all pens amounted to 4343 eggs. The three best pens in each of the |y, principal breeds are as follows: Pen Plymouth ‘Rocks. 4 Jules F. Francals (Barred) W.

No Man Ever Saved Money by Using Cheap Kind. Seed of many crops is scare this spring and high in price. The ten- dency will be therefore, to buy the lower grades at lower prices, a prac- tice all too common in average years, as is proven by the large amount of poor seed disposed of each season. No man ever saved money by buy- ing cheap seed. The lower grades al- ways contain more weed seeds and dirt, and are of lower germination. If the price is 10 per cent. lower than the best grade, the actual amount of pure, viable seed is often 15-20 per cent. lower. It is plain to see then that one pays more for the actual seed pur- near chased by buying cheap grades than’ by paying the higher price for the best. Not only is this a point to re- me , but cheap seed also often contain noxious weed seeds, seeding a field to an unwelcome crop that will take years to eradicate. Weeds come in fast enough from other sources without buying the seed and sowmsg them on the land. Dealers usually carry the goods that {the trade demands. It pnrchzen fuse to pay the price for pu! seed, none will be carried in stock. For it does cost more to produce good seed than poor and as a result a high- er price must be charged. The whole- saler carries several grades and sup- plies the retafler with the good or poor as the trade requiries. It stands to reason that some years m more favorable for the production seed than others. As a re- ault the price fluctuates. son was unfavorable for many best too high, get quotations from several dealers. This is a practice foHowed by too few farmers.
