der the roost, using one vial for from four to six feet of roost, and 
you will find no lice in twenty-four hours ; at least this is my ex- 
perience. It evaporates soon, and should be replaced in a couple of 
weeks. W. H. BIDDLE, in The -Epitomist. 
Mr. Cash, Asst. Director Experimental Farm No. 2, Idaho Falls, 
writes as follow's : 
“The ‘Carbon’ was used with marked success in disposing of 
chicken lice and bed bugs where everything else had failed. 
Sprinkled on the walls and floor, and the room closed up tightly for 
a short time, the vermin all leave, never to return.” 
Bisulfide of Carbon. — Mr. J. F. Deyoe, of Oregon, writes 
The Farmers Voice: “The Bisulfide of Carbon which you 
recommend for chicken lice is the best and cheapest and the least 
trouble to use of anything I ever tried. I can’t say too much in 
praise of it. It freed my hennery from lice in 24 hours. I think it 
will do up the red mites just as quick."
