or Ijour Moncij Back 
No matter how much milk your cows are producing on their 
present ration—Larro-Feed must make them produce more 
—or your money back. 
That is exactly what the Larro guarantee means to you— 
more milk or your money back. 
The one way to put your dairy on a business basis is to find 
out exactly how much you are feeding each cow and exactly 
how much milk she is giving. 
Weigh Your Feed—■ 
Weigh Your Milk 
This has been our advice to dairymen for eleven years—it is the secret of 
the success of the men who feed Larro. They know just what they are 
doing and they have learned that it’s not how much a feed costs but how 
much milk it produces that is important. That the feed which makes 
the most profits is the cheapest feed they can buy.

Camphor for Fowls 
Are spirits of camphor in the drinking 
water of chickens a cure or preventive of 
colds, and has it any effect on the eggs, 
such as giving them a bad taste? Some¬ 
time ago I read in a poultry magazine 
that 20 drops on a little sugar in a pint 
of water was a good flock treatment for 
colds, sneezing, coughing and swollen 
eyes. o. c. t. 
New York. 
I do not see how spirits of camphor in 
any sized dose can cure colds in fowls, 
or even prevent them, and for that mat¬ 
ter I have little confidence in any drug 
administered for that purpose. Per man 
ganate of potash used in the drinking 
water in sufficient quantity to color the 
water a wine red, or in as large quantity 
as the fowls will submit to, is a standard 
remedy for colds, believed by many to be 
efficacious. My own opinion is that colds 
are to be prevented by keeping the fowls 
in clean, healthful quarters where they 
will not be subject to direct drafts or 
made to eat or drink from filthy utensils. 
Ample ventilation of such quarters is 
essential; a closed building promotes 
colds, but fowls should not roost where 
damp, cold air drafts strike them. The , 
best roosting place for young stock dur¬ 
ing the Summer is in the branches of a 
tall tree; these branches are the original 
open air sleeping quarters, hut when 
taken from such quarters in the Fall and 
confined to a building even healthy young 
stock is likely to be subject to snuffles 
and mild colds for a time. They should 
promptly recover, however, if their quar¬ 
ters are clean, dry, well ventilated and 
free from injurious drafts. M. B. D. 
Red Mites 
In our henhouse we have found a lot 
of little red mites, also some other in¬ 
sects which look much like dust. What 
can we do to rid the henhouse of these? 
Ohio. H. T. 
These red mites and the cast-off or 
molted skins of the same, which have the 
appearance of dust, are found in prac¬ 
tically all poultry houses where atten¬ 
tion is not paid to keeping them down. 
They are more harmful to hens than the 
body lice, because of their life habits. 
Instead of living upon the skin and sub¬ 
sisting upon scales and feathers from the 
fowl’s body, they cluster in their hidiug 
places during the day and visit the fowls 
to suck their blood at uight. They in¬ 
crease in number with great rapidity dur¬ 
ing the warm months and may he found 
beneath the ends of the perches, behind 
nest boxes, in cracks and behind loose 
boards wherever the hens roost. Sitting 
liens are sometimes driven from their 
nests by these parasites, and some are 
even killed by the loss of blood that great 
numbers of them take. 
As serious a pest as these mites are. 
they may he destroyed with very little 
effort. All places where they congregate 
should he painted or sprayed several times 
during the warm weather with any oil 
or some one of the coal-tar disinfectants 
that are commonly u«ed about stables. 
Kerosene alone or with an admixture of 
one-fourth part crude carbolic acid, is a 
good preparation to use; the worn-out 
oil from an automobile emrine, alone or 
mixed with kerosene, is also excellent. 
The essential thing is that all the hiding 
places of the mites be soaked with the 
preparation used and that the treatment 
be repeated when necessary. M. It. i>. 
Electric Lights for Old Hens 
I am short of pullets this year, and 
have 250 breeding (one and two years 
old) hens that I shall not hatch from next 
year. They are all selected layers, hav¬ 
ing laid at least till August 15 last, and 
from a very good strain. Now, instead 
of spending $500 for pullets, I was think¬ 
ing of spending the same money to install 
electric lights in my chicken house and 
put these old hens under lights this Win¬ 
ter. I also have 200 lute-hatched pul¬ 
lets I could put under lights. I figure 
that to go out and buy 200 good pullets 
is a hard thing just now, and these ind¬ 
icts will probably b<- late ones and cost 
me an additional dollar till they pay for 
their feed. S. H. K. 
New York. 
It is pretty difficult to advise another 
with regard to a matter of thus kind, but 
it would seem to me that your plan is 
good if you have other hens to use for 
breeders next year, flood returns cannot 
l e expected from the old hens under lights 
unless they have been given time to molt 
and recover good laying condition before 
egg production is expected to start; but 
it would he a pity to discard yearling 
hens, at least, without having first secured 
.•mother season’s production from them. 
While a somewhat- larger proportion of 
pullets than liens in a (lock gives it a bet¬ 
ter economic balance, it would not seem 
to me at all wise to discard selected lay¬ 
ers under three year*, of age for the sake 
of purchased pullets. m. b. d. 
Mks Hex, having performed her 
oviparous function, took a turn round 
the yard. When slit- returned to her nest 
she found the egg gone, and she clucked 
angrily. “What on earth are you cack¬ 
ling about?” inquired the old rooster, who 
stood by. “Dear me,” she answered, “it’s 
a strange thing I can never find any¬ 
thing where I lay it!”—Credit Lost.
