Lousy Poultry Can’t Pay 
Lice-infested poultry are a con¬ 
stant loss to the poultryman. Lice 
suck the rich lifeblood from poul¬ 
try, stunt the growth of young 
chicks and rob you of your well 
earned dollars. These pests re¬ 
duce the hens’ laying ability. 
Buy an effective louse killer and 
Use it liberally.

__and melon vines, cab¬

CALEB BOGUS * SON, - Cheswold, Delaware 
The Henyard. 
Two-story Henhouse ; Family Churn. 
I have a two-story building 16x2G, 
which I would like to utilize as a brood¬ 
er and laying house. Can you recommend 
any suggestion? Also do you know any¬ 
thing about the Ott system of poultry 
“flats.” Is it practical? 2. Can you 
recommend any family churn? F. w. 
New York. 
1. Two-story houses for poultry do not 
seem to have met with permanent favor, 
and are seldom built now, I think. You 
can doubtless utilize yours by arranging 
it so that the fowls may have access to 
the upper story for roosting quarters, 
and leave so much of the lower floor as 
is needed clear for the brooders. I am 
not acquainted with the system of poul¬ 
try “flats” that you mention but have 
never known of any other than a one- 
story building being permanently adopt¬ 
ed as the proper type for a poultry 
house. 
2. A simple churn of either the dash 
or barrel type is to be recommended. My 
own preference, where the cream from 
only one or two cows is to be churned, is J 
the old-fashioned dash churn of proper 
size. A barrel churn works much more 
easily, but requires considerably more j 
time in churning, at least, in my exper¬ 
ience. If this type is chosen, it. is well ! 
to get one somewhat larger than the 
rated “cow” capacity. This will give 
more room for concussion of the cream 
in churning and will hasten the opera¬ 
tion. M. B. D. 
Dry Brewers’ Grains for Poultry. 
What is your opinion of dried brew¬ 
ers’ grains vs. wheat bran in making up 
dry mash for poultry? I know a farmer 
in this vicinity who keeps a flock of 
mixed fowls and during this season feeds 
considerable “beer grains” (not dried) 
with the result that his egg yield is ex¬ 
ceptional. I have given close attention 
to the various mash formulas, wet and 
dry, but do not recall any instance whore 
brewers’ grains have been used or recom¬ 
mended. Have you any data of interest 
or can you see any harmful results in 
the use of this feed? If not I am in¬ 
clined to experiment a little and will 
later let you know the effect. A. c. T. 
New Jersey. 
I have never known of dried brewers’ 
grains being used in a mash for poultry; 
neither do I know of any reason why 
they should not be if liens will eat them 
without waste. I doubt if hens would 
take kindly to them in dry mash, because 
of their light hull-like character, but 
I trial would soon settle that. They rank 
considerably higher in protein than 
wheat bran, and I am now using them 
with considerable satisfaction to lighten 
up my horse and cow feed of cornmeal 
and oil meal. If hens like them they 
should prove a valuable source of pro¬ 
tein in their rations. M. B. D. 
Lice on Poultry. 
Can you toll me of a remedy to rid 
poultry of body lice? I have read that 
they do no harm, and the poultry, if given 
a chance, will keep them down. My 1 
houses are perfectly sanitary, droppings [ 
removed daily, litter frequently changed, 
entire house and nest boxes sprayed often, 
I and as often as once in two weeks I dust 
them with powder. I have used all the 
different brands, but. they are all alike, 
merely check the pests. Recently on 100 
hens I have used three pounds; result the 
same. This treatment, to say nothing of 
the labor expended, is becoming expensive 
at 25 cents per pound, and I am afraid it. 
will soon exceed my feed hill. \v. 
Maine. 
The effort required to keep poultry en¬ 
tirely free from body lice would probably 
not be profitably expended, even if it were 
possible to do so. If nests, perches, etc., 
are kept from becoming the hiding and 
breeding places of vermin by occasional 
applications of insecticides like kerosene 
and crude carbolic acid, and the hens 
themselves are given opportunity for fre¬ 
quent dust baths, vermin will he kept 
within bounds and will do no appreciable 
harm. The Lawry lice powder, made 
according to the following directions, is 
cheap and efficient: Spread 2 y 2 pounds 
of plaster of paris in a shallow pan; 
pour one-quarter pint of crude carbolic 
acid into a cup, and add three-quarters 
pint of gasolene. Pour this mixture over 
the plaster of paris, mixing thoroughly. 
Rub through wire window screen; allow 
it to stand for several hours until en¬ 
tirely dry, but away from a stove or light. 
Keep in a closed can or jar, and apply 
through a sifter or with the lingers, 
working it well into the feathers, espe¬ 
cially about the vent. A very little of the 
powder is sufficient for a fowl,
