M ANY dairy men who have 
been using Empires now for 
over five years tell us that their 
machines are in just as good con¬ 
dition now as they were when 
installed. 
Pretty good evidence of Empire 
quality of material and construction 
this, but even more important 
they also report their cows in as 
good or better conditionthan before 
the machines were used. You can 
milk cows, of course, without an 
Empire but why continue to do so? 
The Empire way is the safe, sani¬ 
tary, economical, modern method. 
If you’ll talk it over with an Em¬ 
pire user you’ll be pretty well con¬ 
vinced. There’s probably one 
not far from you. If you’ll write 
us we will tell you his address.

THE HENYARD 
A Good Little Coop 
Having read a recent article on chicken 
coops in The R. N.-Y., I thought a de¬ 
scription of one that I designed about 35 
years ago, and used for a number of 
years, or until I quit active farming, 
might interest some of your readers. Be¬ 
low I have given description of the coop. 
By the use of the door you do not have 
Front end 
Front Fnd of Coop 
to prop up the coop, and there is no dan¬ 
ger of the prop falling down and catching 
any chicks. You need for this coop the 
following pieces of lumber: 
3 boards 2^> ft. by 1 ft. for sides. 
1 board 2 ft. by 1 ft. for back end. 
2 pieces Ix2-iu. by 2 ft. 2 in. for top 
and bottom. 
2 pieces 1x2 in. by 2 ft. for cleats for 
inside of front ends of sides. 
0 pieces for up-and-down slats, 2 ft. 
long. 
4 pieces of lath 1 ft. long for cleats for 
door to vna in.

Depluming Mite 
What is your experience with the de¬ 
pluming mite among hens? We have 
been bothered considerably for a number 
of years and have tried everything wo 
could hear of. yet have failed to get rid 
of them. We have never had any trouble 
in exterminating any other mite or louse 
that occasionally gets into a flock, but 
the depluming mite is beyond our skill. 
We have been advised to use sulphur, but 
do not know in what proportions it may 
be given without banning the lion. Per¬ 
haps some of your readers have had some 
experience along this line. If so, we

J‘e<tr Fnd of Coop 
would la* glad to hear what they have to 
say. We have a flock of 700 layers, so I 
they will have to be treated generally. 
Pennsylvania. b. l. f. 
T doubt if any general treatment ap¬ 
plied to the flock as ; i whole will be found 
effective in ridding it of the depluming 
mite. This parasite lives in the debris 
which its work causes at the base of the 
feathers and is spread from member to 
member of the flock through contact and 
the medium of the male bird. Direct 
applications to the bare spots upon the 
affected birds are recommended, and Sal¬ 
mon suggests the following ointment: 
Flowers of sulphur, one drain ; carbonate 
of potash, 20 grains; lard or vaseline, 
one-half ounce. If a liquid preparation 
is preferred the following is recommended 
by the same authority: Greolin, one 
dram; glycerine, 2 ounces; alcohol, one- 
half ounce; water, one-lialf ounce. Either 
preparation is to be rubbed into the skin 
and repeated at intervals of five or six 
days till elective. M. B, D.
