They: will' increase very rapidly and will cause considerable l0ss unless promptly sgaken care- of. Since the habits of lice.and mites are entirely ‘different, methods of = control must be different. 4 Poultry. lice are found either on the skin' or on the feathers of the bird. They aré supplied with biting mouth parts and-live on scales from the skin, and in some cases, the barbs of the feathers, They are present on nearly all, poultry, but are not particularly troublesome if the hens are provided with a good place to dust and take care of themselves. The kind of lice which jcause most trouble with Connecticut | poultry are commonly called the large body lice. The adult is from one-tenth to one-eighth of an inch long and light vellow in color. If present on the bird, they may be found 'in the fluff feathers just below the vent. The twe common methods of control are with lice powder and mercurial ointment. The effectiveness of mer- curial ointment, together with the ease of application, has made this | treatment very popular wherever tried. + Use mercurial ointment and vaseline, equal parts. Rub a’ piece about the size of a pea well into the fluff feathers just below the vent. One application ' wifl ‘treat about five hundred hens. Growing stock may be treated in the same way if they are feathered out. If not entirely feathered out, a smallj amount may also be used under the . Treatment for young stock should mot be necessary unless th were brooded under badly infested hens. Pouitry. mites, commonly called red mites, are unlike lice in that they do not live on their host. They live in the cracks and crevices in the roosts, under the roost supports or on some near-by woodwork. They are some-; times found in nest corners and in ‘brooders. They conceal themseives during the day and go onto the hen or chicks at night and suck the her blood, then return. to their hiding! place. If present in large numbers,! they cause the hens considerable un- easiness and loss of flesh. Egg pro- duction is, of course, greatly de- creased. Red mites are very de- structive among growing chickens and they have been known to kill setting hens. Red mites may be successfully dis- posed of by painting the roosts and nearby. woodwork, together with other parts of the house or coop where they | appear with some of the coal-tar prod | uets, such as Carbolynum. Crudw ; carbolic acid and whitewash applied with a spray pump are effective and make a zood disinfectant for the whole interior of the house. If grease or tallow are applied to the roosts at the heginning of the season, mites are very seldom troublesome. Mites do - not prosper if there is no place left for them-to conceal themselves during the da; Painting the roosts with kero- sine is not effective and not worth while. It is well to apply mny lice paint in the morning on a dry day so that the roosts will be dry by night; ! otherwise, the birds' feet may become Te. 'If there is any truth in the proverb, “A. stitch in time saves nine.” it is irue in-the fight against red mites.— Rey E.

The wool growers of the country is another tlass of producers to come un- der direct government supervision and hence can feel themselves to be pro- prietors of an essential industry.| Wool is considered essential to winning the yar and consepuently the govern- | ment has laid down a series of rules for the handling of it. These rules are as follows First: All wool must be through dealers approved by the gov- ernment. Second: Wool charge a commi | to the grower. j words, p: lin the past. !

Sixth: AN wool produced is to be eraded disinterestedly at distributing centers under the direction of govern- ment valuation committees and all profiteering is prohibited. it.

The extension service of the Con- nectiewt "Agricultural College wishes to assure farmers that the farm bu- reaus- and ‘ farm county agricultural agents are not responsible for the long and extremely annoying delay which the farmers are experiencing in get- ting deliveries of nitrate. As co-op- erative -employees, receiving part of their salaries from the federal Gov- ernment, the county agents could do nothing else but inform farmers that nitrate could be purchased through the bureau of markets and accept such orders as -were given to them. All parties to the nitrate business have acted in entirely good faith and only serjous difficulties in securing trans- portation have prevented,deliveries on time, It is extremely unfortunate that the county agents must bear the bur- ‘|den of a criticism in a .matter over which they have no control. Farmers should be assured that counly agents have made a most active and personal effort to secure de- Wvery. In two cases coungy agents went to New York City and for a con-- derable period worked on the propo- ition. The State Council of Defense Committee on Transportation has ren- «{red every possible assistance Jate in May sent its representative, R. B. Ladd, to New York to stay { there until all of Connecticut’s nitrate I had been shipped to Connecticut. | However annoying it may be, this ! sPtuation is the inevitable result of fwar time conditions and ‘criticism di- rected at the county agents and farm bureaus for failure to deliver nitrate sold | sion for their services | /s no commission as he has! seaboard | | is unwarranted: { TIME TO PLOW FOR MILLET. | It is time now to besin to plow for | millet. A good seed bed is essential ifor a good crop of millet. A sandy {loam with plenty of moisture is best for millet. Barnyard manure is the] best fertilizer of a -8 proportion. Sow at the rate of three pecks to the a Just at present indications point to a light hay crop and it might bej advantageous to put in some millet as a substitute. POOR STANDS OF CCRN. Many reports are coming into of poor stands of corn. It is too late now to remedy this. Early testing should have been practical. Do not replant with the same kind of seed. Get new, or do not plant at all. If the stand is thin, but thick enough to pay to lcumvat& make use of the thin spots by putting in beans, squashes, pump- | Kins, etc. There is still time to do this. {| SOLDIERS AND SAILORS | What Eastern Connecticut Boys Are Doing In Various Branches of the Service. Excitement on Convoy Duty. A Norwich boy sends the following letter to his family here describing a trip across on convoy duty: My Dear Folks:— Well, T am back again in the United States after my seventh trip across old oct and, belicve me, I am glad to be h Have had a ]on-' trip and jon the whole it h#s been an inter {ing one.

I reported back ! from Jiberty. 1 had a feeling that we would sail again soon; sure enough, at 1 p. m. we heard the word that we would get under way at 2 p. m., and everybody was astir and word was passed for the admiral's flag to be haunleg down and turned over to the » and then we began to get un- der w It was very still and we could see the people over on the shore walking around, and they were no doubt wondering where we were going; but they didn't know—neither did we. Down the stream we went, passing the Statue of Liberty and then out t0 sea. By 9 that night we had passed Ambrose Channel lightship and | then we knew we were on our way. { 1t was a calm, beautiful evening, the band playing on the quarterdeck and everyone feeling more or less silent, 1_]!1#} as if they had left something ‘hmd them that they might never see again. sleep since leaving Halifax. { The next morning I woke and thn { looked to the back "of us and there as |far as we could see were the ships. | Ships of all sizes, and they sure were the - prettiest bunch. any American fight like the Old Nick | to keep the submarines off them. ltried to count them, but it was still too dark, so I waited until about 7 o'clock: then we counted fifteen. They were arranged in a line of three and t made you think of a battle formation instead of merchant ships and trans- i ports. We could just see the men on them, and they were ail interested in us as we in them. Tuesday there was nothing te do but to keep a sharp lookout for sub- marines, as they were operating in American waters. Wednesday the ex- citement began. It was like this: Tt was a very dull morning and every- body was wishing that something would happen to break the stillness on the ship. About 8 o'clock a very warm breeze from the southwest came up, which relieved us somewhat. About 11 o'clock a strange sail was sighted and the lookout said it was bearing i down upon us. We then left the con- voy and started ahead to meet her. She immediately turned around, put- ting on all sail possibie to keep ou$ of our way. Orders were given to put the ship jup to 15 knots. We fairly leaped through the water. The chase then began and the first hour we didn’t seem to have gained any. The second hour we gained a little: then orders ‘were given to put on all steam. We could feel the engines throb and the water was thrown high on both sides and sometimes it came over the fore- castle. All eyes of both officers and crew were looking upon that one ob- ject which now seemed to be a four- masteq schooner. On the port side ;onlv one ship of the fifteen was seen; jsoon it disappeared, and we were left i to do as we pleased with the schooner. . Tinally the range finder on the tur- ret called out “Three miles away!" Our international signal was hoisted and she didn't answer. It was. now time to show them that we meant business. Everything was ready, and the ma- rines brousht the three-inch gun on them. Bang! There was a screech, then every eve was on the ship. The shell hit about 300 yards in front. The ship lmmedw,trliy changed her course, bringing bher to the windward of us. Bang! went the gun the second time. This time the shell hit about 100 yards from her. Then she started to haul tility, ‘a light application of fertilizer | down her topsails, but still went on will pay.

The boat then stafted to circle amund‘ the ship to see what kind of a boat she was, and that she didn’t show us any tricks. The lookout said she look- but couldn’t -tell which. The boarding party ' finally boarded her; then Wwe waited for an hour before we Saw them again. . When: they returned they reported that she was a Portuguese and, that she was loaded with autom biles for the Portuguese. government We then turned and took after the convoy, which by now was a good dis- tance ahead of gs. bout, § o'clock that evening we overtook the convoy, steamed right through the center and took our place at the head. Later we overtook another ship which seemed to .be wa&ieflng around the ocean aimless: Ve shot at it and made her show her international {number. She turned out to be a British transport (converted) 'coming back from England. In fact, she was one we had taken over before. This is our last day over and the most interesting of them all. Tt was 1.32 p. m. when this happened. We were eating and everyone of us more | or less interested in-their meal when five blasts blew, which told us there‘ was a submarine sighted on our star- board bow. Every man hustled to’ his post, mess tables were taken out of the way and.in three minutes after the gong was sounded everyone was at his post. Thén the word was passed | that a submarine was sighted on the ! starboard bow, between the first and second columns of the convoy. All steam was put forward and ev- eryone waiting for the order. The periscope was first ‘estimated 1,000 to 11,500 yards away by an officer’s look- out. It was then sighted by two offi- cers on watch, only the periscope visi- ble. Two of the ships got a shot at it as well as we. We turned around and went back and the convoy put on full speed and went forward. We zame to,be fighting a full armed bat- | tleship on the high sea and: ducked |after the first fire. After 45 minutes, retreat was sounded ang - everyone went back to-his work agsin. On Memoria! day we had a service i for the men our ship had lost in the {last year, given by the chapalin and i the commamhng officer. ' They sang | hymns -and did all they could to bring { back to the bovs the memory of the days when they were home.

Four important points to watch 1. The refrigerator should be pilanned so the air circulates freely into every part of the food chamber. 2. The lining should be sanitary, easily cleanable. 3. The insulation of the walls should be as perfect as possible. 4. The work- manship and ma- terials should be of the very best quality.
