One of the most serious of these con

Is to save the well ones.

An affected bird may live for a long

It is se'dom worth anything. The
treatmeq consists In killing the' af•

Exposure to cold and dampness 1s
among the chief causes.* A dry, warm

tion without drafts. L one of the best
preventive measures. Tbe curtalned

the fowls from catching cold In severe
weather.
Lice and Mites.
The most troublesome parasites of
poultry are lice sod mites. These
pests are very different in their habits
Tbe lice remain on the bird all the
time, eating the fathers and ' skin.
They are not usually present In large
enough numbers to do any consider.

and small chicks. One of the moat
effective means of combating lige Is
the dust bath. Tbls is simply a con.
%relent *feed box filled with One dust
In which the bens can roll. Lice and
other insects breathe through tiny
boles along the sides of their bodies
The dust Bile these boles. and ibay die

ed to the dust bath makes it more et.

the feather's Is effective. This plan
takes too long to be need extensively
however. Lice frequently make (he!.
way from the ben to the cbkks at
hatchlog time and often cause tht
death of many of them. The best way
to prevent this, of course, is to set
that the bens are tree from lice be
fore the chickens batch. One of tbi
best remedies Is to dust the chick-
with Insect powder or paint them
around the neck and under the wings
with a sulpbur and lard mixture.
Mites are mucb worse pests then
Ike. They live in the crevices to the
walls and roosts, attacking the fowls
at night. They do not eat the skin
but bore throng!) 1t and duck the blood
Mites are so small that they can
hardly be seen with the naked eye. but
the damage they do Is not measured
