H. Gooding, extension poultryman, advising sodium flouride for lice and oil sprays or coal tar preparations for mites. Birds that become thin, droopy and unthrifty looking should be examined for lice, Mr. Gooding suggests. There will be no difficulty in finding the licjf if they are there for they will i bo seen scurrying in all directions I when the feathers are pushed back. ! Mites do not as a rule stay on the > birds, but are occasionally found on individuals. They attack them at I i night, sucking their blood, and stay f in tho crack* and crevices of the roosts during the day. Mites are r grayish in color until they become , gorged with blood, when they are ' red. One of the most common troat' monts for lice is sodium fluoride, a pinch of this powder being put under the feathers on the neck, back and tlufT and under each wing. If the house is tightly constructed, nicotine sulphate or Black Leaf 40 can be used to rid the hens of lice by applyI ing a small amount on the roosit poles, i about 30 minutes before the hens go to roost. Mites can be destroyed by spraying ' tho roost poles, nests and dropping ' boards with a mixture of kerosene and old motor oil, creolin or any of the coal tar preparations. , ?
