The naphtha- lene should be horoughly ground up in order to facilitate mixing and ap- lication, and then stirred into the the vaseline. -A small amount was ap- plied on the birds around the tail, where the mites invariably congre- gate. The perches were also treated, bat in this case more of the mixture was placed upon the birds. Repeated tests have , been made- and all have been correspondingly satisfactory. Dichloride and vaseline, in the same proportions, have also given .satis- factory -results. There are, however, two points in connection with +•he use of dichloride which makes it less de- sirable than naphthalene, namely, it costs more and tends to liquify the vaseline. This snakes: the appliaction more difficult:. For some time Black Leaf (nicotine sulphate) has been us- ed on perches in the. control of the northern fowl finite, but comparative tests in the laboratory indicate that its action is slower than either that of naphthalene or dichloride, and where a large area is to be covered, its cost is considerable. — Scientific Agriculture. EARLY MARKETING OF FINE POULTRY The early marketing of well -finish- ed birds in commercial quantities` was well demonstrated during the lasttwo weeks of October in Quebec and On- tario where the -first quality pool of the year have been held, The question as to- whether or not early- poultry marketing could be done successfully in a large way by farmers, from - a. quality standpoint, says the Egg and - Poultry Market Review, has •been de- finitely answered, the producers in these districts' having demonstrated by planinng ahead that the crop of Chrickens from practically any dis- trict in 'Ontario and Quebec can be produced and make ready for sale when the market demands it. The av- erage weight of the pool back in Que- bec has been down around 5 pounds, per bird, with a number of boxes of Milkfed A. weights over 80 lbs. The Milkfed chickens were produced by crate feeding for 4 to 5 weeks.
