I LICE CONTROL ON CATTLE
ipuring the fall~ and winter months, farmers are faced with e problem of controlling cat- i li_ce. First of all let us dis- cuss the different kinds of lice which affect cattle. There are to kinds of sucking lice, the ort nosed louse and the long nsed louse; and one kind of bit- jg louse. The sucking lice, as ie name implies. pierce the silo» and suck blood. The biting lic‘é“’on the other hand feeds on dead‘-tissue. Both types of lice irritate the Animal. Does ‘this irritation reflect in ygeconomic loss? The amount a imney lost through these par- ‘tee cannot be estimated, since i is not known exactly how much loss in milk flow lousiness cows, not exactly how much extra feed ' required to fatten a lousy steer a heifer. Nevertheless it is gen- erally accepted that louse in- Idstation lowers Milk Production alidretard gains in both dairy d beef cattle. Do cattle lice effect any other cies of animals? or SPECIFIC I Cattle lice are host specific; I tI'is, they are seldom able to ‘e for more than a few days on other animal. The entire life of cattle louse is -_.ent on the y of the cow. They will trans- In from one animal to another, I ially in crowded quarters. 'Il‘II Is is done generally by con- 0

tion. Just what can be done about a louse infestation? CONTROL METHODS
Veterinarians and Entomolog- i_sts have made much progress in louse control methods with the new chemicals, in the past decade. Before this rotenone was the chief insecticide used. The present recomendation for louse control is, wash, dip, spray or dust with D.DJT., methoxychlor, toxaphene. rotenone, pyrenone or lindane. Using wetable powders, emulsible concentrates, or dusts as recommended by the manu- facturer. Animals should be trea- ted twice, ,l2‘to 14 days apart.
Only rotenone, pyrenone and methoxychlor are permissible for use on dairy cattle. Lindane and D.D.T should not be used on animals within one month of slaughter. Effectiveness of con- trol is directly dependent on the complete coverage of the infes- ted animal.
E. KINGS DIRECTORS
The President, Major Reid, of the Eastern Kings Artificial Bree- ding Club, met with the Direc- tors last Thursday in the Town Hall Souris. Others in attend- ance were Alb'ert Mills Insemin- ator for the Club and Dr. George C. Fisher who heads the Arti- ficial Breeding Programme for the Province.
It was noted that the increase in the number of cattle bred dur- ing 1957 was substantial over the previous year. Some of the prob- lems were that breeders were not placing their call for service the day called, before ten in the mor- ning. It was also pointed out that if this cooperation was received that much more efficient service could be rendered to the mem- bers and better results obtained.
Dr. Fisher stated that the per- centage of non returns was ap- proximately 70 percent. This he stated was very satisfactory and a reflection on the good job be- ing performed by the Insemina- tor. -
RESIGNATION
Albert Mills, the Inseminator. reviewed the work for the last few months. He stated that the work was interesting and stead- ily increasing. Mr. Mills went on to say he feels that there is a good future for the Club. How- ever, due to personal reasons he has found it’ necessary to tend- er his resignation. He expressed his thanks to the Directors and ‘members of the Club for their co- operation. The resignation will become effective when a suitable replacement is selected and train- ed.
The Board decided to advertise for applications for the position of Inseminator. All applications are to be sent to the Director of Veterinary Services, Box 3000, Charlottetown before Tuesday, February 11th.
The date of the Annual meet- ing and a proposed meeting in the St. Margarets District .15’ be announced later.

1. Keep the drinking water from’ freezing or near freezing.
2. Provide enough feeder space —six inches per hen is the best.
3. Use enough light—60-watt bulb for every 200 square feet.
4. Burn lights on dark cloudy

5. If feeding method is changed after birds have been laying sev- eral months, do it slowly.
6. Keep birds from getting bronchitis, Newcastle or pox.

10. Do not put medicines in the water that hens do not like — lower water consumption means fewer eggs.

12. Grow pullets to maturity fore allowing egg production to begin for sustained egg produc- tion.
13. Keep feed and water be- fore layers at all times.
14. Feed a balanced ration.
