The Brussels Post, 1924-3-26, Page 7VERMIN --AND LIVE STOCK, Thousands of dollars are lost each year by stock owners neglecting to take the necessary measures to de- stroy the lice that infest the, stock. Millions of these busy little.. insects make life a misery to the animal and they also make, the animals a source of loss to the owner. The keeping of live stock ae a medium of support for lice never made any money for the farmer, It is unprofitable, Many people neglect, for masons best known to themselves, to apply the simple remedies that destroy vermin and prevent Joshes on live stock operations, Lice multiply most- rapidly in dry, sold weather, and are found in great- est Miamians, on long-haired, old and poorly cared for. stock during March and April, Spring rains tend to re- duce the numbers of vermin on ani- male that are exposed to the weather and the lice become less numerous as the season progresses. A few neem to survive the summer and show their presence in the late autumn or early winter when their progeny have in- creased to millions and bring torment to tic unfortunate animals that sup- port them. Rub and scratch, is the practice, until all the hair is off and the louse either crushed or pushed further along, Bare patches are no- ticed on side of neck, breast, head and back, wherever the animal has been able to reach—evidenceof vigorous attempts at relief from the tiny for mentors. Animals that are tide and not free to rub themselves have a harder lot than those running fx • All animals should be given a good grooming with brush and curry comb toremove scurf, loose hair, and any vermin that may be off guard, then apply the following: Treatment for Cattle Lice—Soft soap 1 quart hard soap M, pound, coal oil. 1 pint, water 2 quarts, Mix the quantities of soap and coal oil together first, then add the 2 quarts of boiling water. This will make an emulsion if thoroughly mix- ed, to which 1 gallon of warm water must bo added before applying to the animals. 'An ordinary stable brush is a good Instrument with which to apply the emulsion, Care should be taken to saturate the skin over the entire body. Repeat the treatment in. ten days; another brood will be up and doing by that time, Sheep .dips prepared by reliable manufacturing ehemists are .available and voryuseful in destroying cattle 'lice, There are three speoiee of llee.attacicirig cattle, viz., the long -nosed louse, the short- nosed louse, and' the., biting louse. Herds that are regularly ,groomed during the winter suffer but little from Bee. Treatment for Horse Lice: If the weather ;lis warm enough so that it is safe to wash a horse, the kerosene emulsion, given for cattle is very effective. If the weather is cold, the animal can be given a good groom- ing and then either sodium flouride ori pyrethrum powder well dusted on the skin, and the horse blanketed. Raw linseed oil can be brushed into the hairquite easily and with good effect. A good brush and oil are death to the mites. Any treatment given should bo repeated in ten days, since the powers of multiplication are wonder-: ful. There are two kinds of lice in -1 festing the horse, the biting and the Treatment for Pig Lice: Raw linseed oil applied with a brush to all parts of the body is very effective. The formulae for kerosene emulsion can also be used to advan- tage. An oil rub, always accessible for the use of swine, will do much to keep the vermin down. The practice: of having a machine oil can handy,ati feeding time and giving each pig a squirt along the back once a week is a good one. It will make conditions; unhealthy for a pig louse. The pig, louse "Haematopinus suis" is a big one, almost as long as itsname, and can easily be seen. Do not let the louse rob you of your season's profits and don't let him an- noyyour anima ]s. A little soapy or greasy material will stop his breaths ing for all time. Why not get after him to-day.—L. Stevenson, O.A.C. 1 Sell Eggs Direct. My first step was to secure a copy of the Montreal City directory. Se- lecting a list of names from the resi- dential sections, I mailed to each a neatly printed circular stating that I was prepared to ship guaranteed strictly fresh eggs in lots of Ave dozen each, and solicited a trial order. In a few days' trial orders began to arrive. I selected only first -quality eggs and shipped in small wooden, five - dozen size cases, by express. The ex- press company gave me what they call the produce rate, by which the crates are returned free of charge, Since that first venture the capacity of my egg factory has been increased many times. I find shipping in wooden oases by express far superior to shipping by parcel post, as the danger of breakage is much less. Rarely do I have a com- plaint of a single egg being broken; by parcel post this was one of my greatest problems. Neighbors have offered to sell me their eggs to ship with mine, but so far I ship only my own eggs, which I can guarantee. I received $310.60 more last year than I would have by marketing my, eggs at home.—R. W.

During the latter part of the win- ter our health is especially liable to suffer from the lack in 'our diet of vitally important qualities that . are provided by the fresh vegetables and fruits which are abundant in the sum- mertime. For this reason we should give some thought to our diet at this time of year, for the purpose of pro- tecting ourselves against this defi- ciency. If this is done, our vitality will be kept up, and we shall be better able to resist sicknesses that are common in late winter. Some authorities be- lieve that many people have a scurvy in late winter owing to deficiencies in the diet. Because they last throughout the winter and can be eaten, raw or in sal- ads, cabbage, celery, apples, grape- fruit, oranges, nuts, lemons in lemon- ade, are of special value and should be partaken of freely during the winter. Canned tomatoes are unique in that they provide the vitamine that is con, tained in other foods only when they are raw, and they may be used freely in the wintertime with benefit to the health. Canned pineapple that has not been canned too long is also said to be a good provider of vitamines. When lettuce can be bought during •the winter, it is well to use it. £his should not be considered an expensive Malley. It is better to spend money for some of `those medicinal and pro- tective foods than for drugs and doc- tor's bills, avoiding, besides, the dis- comfort of i11 health and the loss of earning power duo to sickness. It is especially necessary to make use at this time of the foods mention- ed, as milk and butter, which are `'protective" Foods in the summertime, are likely to be lacking. or at least scarce in the winter. For Horne and Country A Piece of Rea! Neighboring. We wonder if any organization ever had a more neighborly piece of work to its credit than this; The Institute u: South Simeoo have been mining a series of inter -Institute debates this winter. When Bond .Plead came to Tottenl-ram they had a debate, a musi- cal program, a short play by the Tot- tenham. Institute, and refreshments. The proceeds amounted to $46, with limited expenses to either organiza- tion. Three days preview, a woman living in the country near Tottenham had lost twin babies and her own lite was hanging in the balance, The Tot- tenham Institute women hearing of it, immediately put in a trained nurse. The Bond Head women, learning that Tottenham was using the share of the proceeds from' the evening for this pttrlone, 'phoned them the next day asking to have their share turner: over to the same cause. The Socretery says; "We lied a nice letter froth the doctor 1n charge, saying it was the means el saving a life."

W Recent figures show that there are only about 15 chicks raised out of every 100 hatched, and this to on farms' where there' exists a better aver -I age of poultry conditions. Many poultry raiser's try to reduce their loss by"dootoring" sick and weakly ohieks. They lose sight of the fact that tor the previous 9 or 1.0 months the stook these chicks were raised from had not the care and attention necessary to produce sturdy chickens, and so care of breediug stock results in chielcs hatched with weals constitutions, un -1 able to live under ordinary Yarm eon -I ditions. al strong, vigorous chicken, with good brooding system,clean and Proper feeding, should be easily raised to maturity. The greatest loss 1s ow-' ing to lack of vitality, which may be caused by poor patent stock, poor care of eggs before they are set, or poor incubation. On farms, where the fowl are allowed` to forage for them- selves most of the year, there are many mistakes made In breeding, the Paull often being due to both male and Female. The males, often lata hatched, lack vigor and are small In size. Be- cause such birds give a high percent- age of fertility in eggs does by no means warrant the assumption that the chicks hatched wilI be sturdy. Good hens are alutost as important as good mules. For best results It is not wise to mate the entire flock, better pick out only the hest tamales and mate them to the best males procur- able. Never mate cockerels and pule lets. Never use hens which have been sick and out of condition. Bowel trou- ble and diarrhoea are sometimes onus -ed by infeetlon of the eggs, there- fore the neceselty of not breeding from any birds thus lufeoted. The best of eggs may be ruined by faulty ineuba- tioe, not only artfflcial, but when broody hen is nsad, If the hen is. flighty she should,not be used, Nests should' be in a place easly accessible, where water and tood are conveniently obtained, Incubator ohieks are suet as etrong as hen hatched if they aro properly hatched. Too high or too. low a temperature, not enough fresh air, and svrotg moisture conditions, are the Most commuh faults 01 weak eltielta from artilicial incubation. Do away with these etusos and you hatch good, vigorous, healthy chicks.. (food incubative are usually obtained by , Knipe poultry raisers, yet a great number of these people make the "penny wise" and pound foolish" mistake of thinking they can make a brooder at home quite good enough to brood the small num- ber of chicks they raise. Too often these home-made brooders do not keep the proper temperature nor supply the ventilation necessary, Again, if the brooding system is too small for num- ber of chickens hatched there is apt to be "crowding," causing loss through suffocation. Coops without floors for hen -hatched chicks often result in chilling the little birds. Chills usually bring along bowel trouble. The close confinement of baby chicks is often claimed to cause leg -weakness, something which rarely is seen in chicks which are allowed on outside run, ever for a few minutes, after they are about a week old. Of course, in stormy or wet weather this is impos- sible, therefore for such occasions keep sand, or fine Iitter or, the floor. Feed grain in dry litter to induce ex- ercise. xercise. Keep brooder house well ven- tilated. Supply green Peed such as Sprouted oats, lettuce, green alfalfa or clover cuttings. No matter hose brooded the chickens must be kept free from vermin, must be kept dry, roust have plenty of exer- cise, and small birde shouldnot be allowed to run with half-grown ones, as the little chaps don't have a chance to get the proper amount of food It compelled to 'light with much larger birds for it. Keep your baby chicks growing every `minute till they :na- me, which can be done by proper ceding. Improper feeding is feeding too soon and without making chicks want for their meals, Positively, do not feed chicks before they are 43 hours old, The yolk of the egg pro - ides food for et least that length of ttnle.

In some cases the stove seems to draw all right except when the wind is in certain di- rections. I know of one brooder stove that did not draw properly until the house was moved out away from the other building. I know of two other eases where the stoves did not draw and a draft was effected simply by putting on another length of brooder stovepipe. A Cap on the brooder stovepipe will guard against the fire being put out by wind or rain. The pitch of the roof on some brooder houses seems to be just so the air sweeping up over the roof forms a wave that falls over backward and goes down the chimney.

How great the benefits it has brought to them is beyond human ability to reckon. It has provided them, at a cost unequalled in motordom, with a means to speed up business, to increase wealth, to better health, tobring friends closer and to open up every part of the whole country to every Canadian. The fine quality, strength, endurance and full equipment provided by Chevrolet cannot be purchased fpr so little money anywhere else. Moreover, the owner .of a Chevrolet finds a further satisfaction in the savings effected day by day as he drives his car. No other car built can be run or maintained as cheaply as Chevrolet. Chevrolet cars are built in Canada by Cana- dian workmen. Every dollar you pay not only buys a good-looking, comfortable car, but helps build up a strong Canadian industry. alis Aske About The G.112.A•C.

Surface checks usually do no harm and are often the result of excessive strain on the surface when the water evaporates. But if the cheeks are cracks and extend through the wall they should be repaired. Pure cement wash is perhaps as good as anything. But to make the wash bond perfectly with the old concrete the surface should be soaked with water for sev- eral minutes before the wash is ap- plied, The wash should be oe the consistency of thick cream first, then thickened until it will just pour, Largo cracks which may require a flexible joint are repaired by heating with a blowtorch until the surround- ing surface is warm.

Locating Electrical Trouble. A simple method of discovering evhother electrical trouble is in the generator is to procure an ammeter— one from any car will answer very well. Run a separate wire from the generator' through tide ammeter and then connect it to the battery of the ear, first disconnecting the regular wire. Now if on running the engine this'anunieter shows tie normal charg- ing rate it indicates that the ttoublo is elsewhere in the electric system and not in the generator. Often a gen- erator is suspected, and this Dimple test clears it without disturbing any other part of the wiring system, which Is an obvious advantage.
