Sweet Flag ar.d Hen Lice 
I have seen quite a number of items in 
The R. N.-Y. lately about hen lice and 
mites. I built a henhouse 15 years ago; 
three rooms, with open sheds to each one, 
8 ft. square. There is a foot of dry dust 
in them, Winter and Summer. I have 
neither sprayed nor whitewashed the 
house; have never seen a large lieu louse 
in that time. For three or four years I 
was troubled with mites; nests full of 
them. I dreaded taking off setting liens 
at night, as I would be all covered with 
them. I had used hay for nests. The 
hens pulled it out of the nests and it did 
not last long. I had some sweet flag I 
cut in a meadow for stable bedding. I 
thought I would try some of it for nests. 
I thought the hens would have no use for 
that, and they did not; neither did the 
mites. I do not think I have seen a mite 
for 10 years in the nests, and the flag 
will last two or three months in the nests; 
it does not break up easily. There is a 
very strong odor to the flag. Whether 
that drove them away, or what it was, I 
do not know ; all I know is the mites are 
gone, and that is all the change I have 
made. I can take off the nests 20 hens 
in the night and not feel a mite. I know 
of no other reason for their leaving. 
Connecticut. A. G. w. 
The above letter is exceedingly interest¬ 
ing. There are rnauy places where the 
August 1G, 1919 
sweet flag leaves are not easily obtained. 
Tobacco stems in the hens’ nests will also 
drive away the mites. It does not seem 
possible that ii piece of “blue ointment” 
(mercurial ointment) as big as a pea, 
rubbed into the skin under the vent of a 
fowl, will keep the lice away for a year, 
but it will. To use it. the ointment should 
be well mixed with an equal quantity of 
lard, then the above quantity applied as 
described. It is marvelous how well it 
works. But this should never be applied 
to a hen that is running with chicks. I 
discovered this after I had slaughtered a 
coniile of broods. 
The cheapest and most efficient thing 
to keep the red mites away from roocts, 
nests, etc., is grease; beef tallow, mutton 
tallow, or any grease. One year the 
butcher brought me some fat pork that 
was just a very little tainted. He did not 
want to salt it down for fear it would not 
keep I cut it in small pieces and tried it 
out in an iron pot, then painted the roots 
with it on all but the top side ; also tb*' 
roost supports and the inside corners of 
all nest boxes, putting it on liberally and 
while hot. This was put on in April, and 
a careful examination many times during 
the next year failed to show any lice on 
roosts or in nests. I used this grease 
treatment for years, and was never 
troubled with red or white mites after 
using it. Carbolineum will do as well, 
but when it is first applied the fumes are 
dangerous; the hens must be kept out for 
a day or two, and the house well ventilat¬ 
ed. The grease treatment is much cheap¬ 
er. not at all dangerous, and equally as 
efficient. But grease must not be applied 
to setting hens. It closes the pores in the 
egg shell and smothers the chick.

Success with Geese 
I read an article in The R. N.-Y. con¬ 
cerning the loss of goslings. I raise a 
great, many myself, and have never had 
any trouble with them. I do not feed 
them grain until they are about two 
months old. hut instead I give them stale 
bread and sour skim-milk, and also give 
them dry middlings, to which I add a 
little charcoal and grit, and when they 
were four weeks old they weighed 4 lbs. 
apiece. The breed I raise is Gray Af¬ 
rican, and I find them very profitable. 
With (lie help of The R. N.-Y. I raised 
the first year 42 beautiful geese from one 
goose and one gander. The goose laid 
about 80 eggs from February to June. 1 
would have raised more, hut I lost some 
eggs because I did not understand that I 
must turn the eggs myself. But by read¬ 
ing your article I saved the rest and got 
an average of three out of four. I hope 
that I have better success next year.

Agriculture. An unusual feature of this 
demonstration, and one showing the keen 
interest of those present in the subject, 
was that during it Prof. Royce was in¬ 
terrupted two or three times by applause 
sis he emphasized the characteristics of 
a good dairy cow. During the day there 
was some talk of the organization of a 
local association, and the County Agents 
of the three counties were constituted a 
committee to look the matter up. With 
such interest in the breed a worth-while 
organization is sure to result.
