fowls are bare only in spots. This" troublesome parasite is commonly called the depluming mite.

To exterminate tbisspecles it seems almost necessary to resort to the dipping process. The solut- ion is mode by dissolving a half ounce or yellow laundry soap in each gallon of water and adding two ounces of flowers of sulphur to each gallon. While being used the mixture should be kept well ‘stirred so the sulphur will not sett- le to the bottom. -

The dipping should be done on a warm, sunny day so the birds may dry quickly. in case of necess- ity the work may be done indoors in a heated room. Keep the wet birds out of the wind and drafts.

The scaly-leg mite is bard t0 locate because of its small size, but when it becomes established in we flock it gives unmistakable evidence of the fact. his mite burrows uudl-r the scales of the fowl's legs and toes, forcing these upward and filling the space under- neath with gray, crusty material. The legs of the afflicted fowls be- come badly distorted. In extreme ‘cases, the ends of the toes drop off. Unquestionabiy, these burrow- ing mites cause intense itching and endless annoyance.

One infected bird may spread the trouble throughout the entire

flockpso the trouble should be promptly checked as soon as noticed.

The common method of treat-

ment is at once simple and effici- ent. Merely dip the feet and legs In crude petroleum, thoroughly coat.- lng the unfeathefed part of the legs but keeping the oil V away from the feathers and the skin on the upper part of the leg. If crude petroleum not easily obtained. one may use ordinary kerosene oil which has been made safer and milder by the addition of 10 to 20 per cent of melted lard.

One thorough application will usually entirely overcome the trouble. but since the treatment is so inexpensive and so easy to use. it is good practice to repeat it in about a month.

Deplumlng Mite

There is another tiny mite which burrows into the skin near the base of the feathers. This also seems to cause lrltense itching with the result that the affected fowls pull out their feathers in an effort to gct rid of the troublesome visitor. 1 in extreme cases the birds will become almost naked, in others the

and submerge the whole body, ruffiing the feathers so the solu- tion will penetrate to the skin.

Dipping of poultry to_kill parasi- tes of various kinds hasnot found general favor among poultrymen. probably because it is a radica departure from long-established methods. Improperly done harm may result from dipping. But if one will do the work carefully and protect the birds against colds, the results will be found vary satis- factory.

MENTAL FARM, OTTAWA {Experimental Farms Note.)

The most noteworthy introudllc- tiun of the DominionExperintentnl l-‘nrms, as far as wheat is con- cerned. is the variety Marquis which has become world famous in a very short time. in the year 1892, numerous crosses were made of our Canadian wheats with early wheats from India and Russia, with the result that Mar- quis wheat was orglnated from 011i‘. of these crosses, but. it was not until 1903 that. a pure line select ion was obtained. From then on. Marquis has gradually gained the ascendancy over all other whellts ln the West, until today about 8U percent of the wheat grown in Canada is Marquis. It is also worthy of note that 16 percent of the wheat grown in the United States of America is Marquis. One other wheat has a. higher par- centage than Marquis and that is Turkey. a winter wheat that is grown’ in the majority of States, 0f the spring whenta, however, Marquis is the first in popularity and leads al spring ‘wheats by about ii percent of the tofll wheat area of the States. in 1919 some twelve million acres of Marquis wheat were grown in the United States.

The Experimental Farms, always keeping in mind their objective of an early. high yielding wheat of good milling qualities, have

Former Islander Wm%MREL

Dr. T. W, Christopher, the well known dentist 'of Boston, Mass. and a native of Tigni-sln P. i}. i.. has written a very ‘nterestinlz article on Bruce Edward island and particularly on some_of its horse-breeding activities, in» the ast issue of the “Anrsrfcan Horst‘- relcder." Dr Chreliopher is giraceful and fluent writer and his dclscnipiion of this Province will certainly do good and cause many qrzople to wairrt to visit 1t. He is an ardent horseman and is very popular both in his adopted coun- try and his nmti-ve Province.

If other islanders who have gamed eminence ‘n the Great Re- public would follow Dr. ‘Chris- topher's example ‘it would be of im-menise advantage to us in our Tourist. activites.

been able t introduce other wheats of less commercial value

but still of utmost importance for certain districts. Among these other wheats should be noted Ruby, Prelude and Huron. Ruby wheat is a wheat which ripens

about eight to ten days earlier than Marquis and is, therefore suitable in districts where Marquis. in the average year. is a little too late. ituby. however. is not as high yielding or as good milling quality as Marquis. and should, therefore, only be grown in districts where Marquis is not a sure crop. The Prelude wheat is an extremely early wheat, suitable only for districts where the season is very short. Prelude will ripen about 14 days earlier than Marquis. or four to eight days earlier than Ruby.

The above wheats are most adapted to western conditions. but it has been found that they give excellent results under east- ern Canadian conditions, especi- ally if grown in somewhat heavier soils. The Cereal Division, when considering its wheat work, has always kepfin mind the require- ments of the east. as welLas the west, with the result that Huron wheat was introduced for use in eastern Canada on the lighter soils. Huron is a bearded wheat which gives good results on the sandy soils that are so frequently met with in Eastern Canada. The introduction of the above wbeats has financially meant a great deal to Canada. it has been computed by various persons that Marquis wheat alolre has added to the wealth of Canada some 82D,- 000.000 per snnum. Apart from the financial aspect. the fact ‘that eighty percent of the wheat pro- duced in Canada is Marquis is in itself a sufficient assurance that Marquis has been of great benefit to the Dominion.
