Many strong vigorous birds seem to keep free f`rom lice without any treat- ment and they do it because they dust

frequently.

However, it pays to dust birds with

some kind of insect powder or give them the blue ointment treatment. We like the blue ointment the best. Iiillce at slnlliibitofit into tile skin and then plllco lt dub under elicit wing and the bird will be protected front lice l'or several mouths. 'i`wo treat- ments per year is usually sufficient. The blue ointment can be mixed hall- und-lluli` with vnsellne. Wilcn birds are dusted with insect powder the opera- tion must be repeated in it week or ten days to catch the atlditionlll pests that hatch utter tile first dusting.

These pests are easily des- troyed by‘spraying the perches anti the inside ol' the poultry house With kerosene.

:Pl-ck GEESE wl-tEN FEATHERB nll>E.

with the prevailing high prices Dlllll

for good feathers at the present time, the person owning geese can increase his income considerably by tile lli‘°liei` saving and care of the feathers. in all endeavor to be of some aid to the ain- nteur goose raiser. I will state souls pl the things I have learned from ex- perience during the last twenty-me

YBHFE. I One of thc first anti' most important things the goose raiser must -lellrll I9 how to tell the correct time to Dlllk his geese. When tba S8888 1195111 1-0 get smooth looking and the feathers are all of the same length. Wllell 1119!’ pick themselves and the feathers illlli out, or they begin to lose them. lt ls time to test or try the leathers Catch one of the geese and .pull a few feath_- ers from the breast. If they come out easily and are white or creamy yellow on the tips of the quills. lit is time to start picking, but if -the flesh end of the feathers show blood they S1\°“1‘i be left s. week or ten days and then tested again. __

When' the feathers are "ripe the

geese should be placed in a dry. straw- bedded pen, from which they can be easily caught without their gettin! 'd'irty. When ready to start lll°ll1l'lS. you should select a place .free -from any tbreezes, as the feathers scatter very easily. Lay the goose on its back in your lap, place its head and neck un- der yoar. left arm, tuck the wings .,.__.----

under its back, and grasp the left leg with the right hand, and start picking with the right. Begin between the legs and work backward, taking six to » eigth feathers at a time, and extract- ing them with equlck jerk. From the legs backward pull the feathers to- wards the tail, while from the legs forward the feathers are jerked to- wards the head. Pick very 111110. if any at all from the back, as these act as a protection against the rain and the hot sun. Do noinplck very for up the neck or remove t-he large puff of feathers that support the wings. A- good rule to follow is never to pick too close, for there is danger of loosing the geese if you do so.

Geesle should never he picked during

the laying season or wliiie they are brooding. If they lay' up utltll llellr midsumnler they sllollld be picked only twice. but if they quit rather early they may be picked three times. ounS stock should never be picked durinlt the first summer, if one wants them for breeding stock, as it will stunt them to a certain extent, but if -the feathers are the mah object they may be picked once, but in all cases. WYIG' ther young or old stock, they should never be picked' after -the cold, wet weather start.; in the full. '

After the feathers are picked they

should be put in tight muslin sacks. or more preferably in pallllr f10lll` sacks, end stored ill a cool, dry well- aired room The sacks should bei tight enough to exclude the lnotllll. and should be placed out of the reach of mice. If not so protected you are il- ahle to find the feathers rcstroyed when you _-need them the lnost.-l't._K.

HOW T0 PREVlE-NT PARALYSIB IN H063

Farmers who are having trouble

with paralysis ' in hogs, or "going down behind” as some call it, will he intercstcll in the following suggest- ions concerning -the disease made by_ Dr. Mcilltosh of the Illinois experi- ment station:

“This is a very common disease in

sows, especially in line bred animals l have investigated this derangement

d Y ~

sufficient phosphate of lime in the nerve system especially the nerves supplying the hind legs. it is a known fact that the .bones and nerves of preg-i nallt animals are deficient in phos-. phnte of lime. oil account of the drain on the system for phosphate to build u the foetu and also to nourish the

seems to be more of -it drain for phos- phate on the s-ystem ol’ the sow than any other female animal. The sow is more frequently affected with partial paralysis a fcw weeks after -ftlrrowinll, although the derangement may occur before fl1rrowing_ -

“To prevent this trouble, the sow

should be fed on ground oats, bran and oil meal, -and as much milk as pos- sible, during pregnancy and while suckling young pigs. Should the trou- ble occur at either of the nbove-men- tioned periods, tlle following treat-_ illent should be begun as soon us tlle_i_ animal shows the first symptoms of weakness in the hind legs, or knuc- kllng over at the fetlock joints. Of course cases call be cured even after the animal is down and cannot get up. Give one tablrspoonful of coll liver lil, 15 grains phosphate of lime and 'three drops of the lluitl extract of nnx /omica ill a littlo footl,Qas n dose twice a day. This treatment should be continued for several weeks if needed.

“Through experience it has been 'ound that pigs from ll sow that has had an attack oi' partial paralysis are :lo more likely to be attacked by the lisease than pigs from a sow that has never had the disease.

“A -sow that is affected with para-

lysis docs not seem to suffer any pain, indicating that the disease is a local one ami ii' the animal can bc fattened while ill this condition, the flesh would be fit to be sold for pork_”

DOES THE FALL LITTE-R PAY7

(Experimental Farms Note.)

There is lllucil discussion as -to pos--

sible profits to be obtained' from the

tall litter particularly when farrowed ate. -

A sow furrows on April lst., nurses

a litter six weeks, is bred a few days after and furrows a seond li-tter in early Otober. Where facilities are present for earlier farrowlng of the

fitted -by August or September birth. During -the summer , of course, the sow mllst have extra, care, preferably on a. pasture of clover and, later, rape, -with plenty of shade, a wallow,‘ occasional -applications of oil to kill lice, and u light meal ration of

her first litter faithfully, her second litter will likely be u disappointment,

-few in nun¥er,'small, weak, and un- thrlfty. Flirt. er, if she is much pulled down, when bred after weaning her first litter, ber second litter will he unprofitable, in auygase, no matter what her summer care.

So that much of the dlsgd suc-

cess or profit-from'tlle se d flier depends on the proper Attention -to the above prelimixl/ties,-breeding the now orliy'when site hee rocuper- ntod, oven at the expense of A litter later ln fort-owing, and giving her special attention during the summon.
