Mites in Winter; Head Lice 
Do poultry mites breed in Winter? 
What would you use for head lice on 
hens? J. H. T. 
Cataract, Wis. 
Red mites become dormant during cold 
weather. It is possible that some of 
them awake to activity during a warm 
spell in the Winter, but if so this activity 
is exceptional. The habit of tlie parasites 
is to retire to their hiding places when 
Cold weather comes and remain dormant 
there until the warm weather of Spring-. 
Any kind of simple grease will kill any 
kind of lice with which it is brought into 
contact, but the simple method of dispos¬ 
ing of body lice is to smear a bit of blue 
ointment upon the skin just beneath the 
vent, and if wished, also bcueatb each 
wing. A bit might be used upon the 
head of old fowls. A powder known as 
sodium fluoride is perhaps equally suffi¬ 
cient. A few pinches of this are worked 
down between the feathers over the body 
of the fowl. M. B. D.
