OCR Text	EFFECTIVE DUST BATH. Clean Dust Mixed with Fine Ashes and Sulphur Enjoyed by Hens. As to mites, I do not bcllcvo thnt I havo any In my houses, says a New Jersey poultrymnn. I use proventn- tlvo remedies, spraying tho houses nnd painting undcrBldo of roosts nnd roost rests with crude mrbollc solution, nlso fumigating with sulphur and white- washing, using tho sulphur onco a month nnd whitewashing about four times a year. Tho above I hnvo found sufficient for my purpose. I bcllcvo tho mites nro very difficult to got rid of onco they get n foothold in n house. and n house Infested with them will need very thorough cleaning nnd spraying, being very particular to got tho spray Into nil crncks nnd crovlccs. As to chicken lice, I keep tho houses supplied with dust baths, using clean dust mixed with line ashes nnd sul- phur. When I hnd n small number of fowls, It was nn easy mnttor to In- spect each Individual, nnd dust thorn with Insect powder, but this Involves entirely too much labor whero a largo number ot fowls nro kept; bo now 1 rely on dust baths mixed as nbovo, I ' am not aware that I havo over lost nny poultry from lice or mltcs and . . bcliovo If tho nbovo plan la faithfully 'M followed tho trouble will bo reduced to a minimum. Fnrmor's Review.
