K o iV HAWKS AND HATS j | Methods of Exterminating These h Chicken Kallers. I |\ Clemson College, S. C.?Since a J number of poultrymen have inquired) ? for a method of exterminating hawks j 'J that kill growing chickens, the follow-j | * ing effective treatment used by Dr. ' Wallace, a noted poultry breeder of \ Lydia, S. C., is g|vcn: Dissolve one-eight ounce of strych-1 ? nine i ?i a hot tie mucilage (five cent size with brush) Apply'a little of the poisoned mucilage to to the top of each chicken's head in the brood the ?' hawk is killing. Do this at night when the chicks are under the hen or in t ho hrnnilnr Sm-inl-ln .1 ? _ - ??. u..kv.i , u|>i iiiimi: iiii it inyi <lirt or other dark powder over the j mucilage to dry it. Do not use any light-colored powder like flour, be-; cause the other chicks might eat the poison; they will not touch the dark powder or ^ry dirt. The first time I)r. Wallace experimented with the poisoned mucilage I he did not use any powder to absorbi r> and dry it, before placing the chicks] under the hen. The next morning) i when he went out to feed the chicks; # he saw thai 'the hen was distressed,) ) and, while he could hear the chicks he] could not see them. On further examination he found that all the chicks' V, were stuck by the mucilage to the] fluff of the hen and were being car j ried around with their feet off the! | ground. He cut the feathers ami re- j leased the chicks, and, in this way. no I i learned the necessity for drying tin j mucilage by powder. The first application resulted ir six dead hawks being found, and subsequent doses exterminated the birds, f Some persons recommend that nuv vomica be given the chicks. This j will kill the hawks, hut it is said to be I difficult to get the chicksens to eat ! mash containing nux vomica moix than a couple of tilt res.

Judge Davis keeps this trap in his ! pigeon loft continually and has never seen a trace of a rat or mouse since using it. Before trapping these rodents in this way his loft was overrun I with rats, which destroyed squabs as well as consumed the grain, and with j. numerous mice.

STRAWBERRY GROWERS UNION AT LORIS One of the most important meetings ever held at Loris was assembled Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock when practically all strawberry growers net to consider the advisability of organizing a cooperative exchange for handling the berries for unother season. During the past season the berry growers have been handicapped very much in selling their produce. But the plans now on foot if perfected rightly will improve conditions very much. There were about 75 farmers present at the meeting in the Standard warehouse Saturday afternoon and there were 25 who responded to perfect organization. Mr. Fred Hoffman, State Market Agent and Mr. M. W. Wall, County Agent, gave talks relative to the cooperative marketing and selling and launched the proposed association on sound and sane principles. Temporary officers were elected as follows: President, Mr. N. E. Hardwieke; Vice Pres., Mr. C. M. Reaves; Secretary, Mr. G. M Fowler. This was a very enthusiastic meeting and all the farmers were much int< rested. The next meeting will be ! called the first Saturday in September and it is hoped that all the farmers will come together and have the largest association in the county. V ?? The Result.

C.?Lice live and breed on poultry and can be exterminated by greasing each fowl with 33 per cent mercurial ointment which can be bought at a drug stoie. The grease is placed on the flesh be. low the vent, covering a space not larger than a 25-cent piece with a small amount of the ointment. This ointment poisons the lice and it is necessary to apply it only once a month. Sitting hens can be greased before the commencement of the hatch and when the chicks are dry. If the hitter peep and stand with their eyes closed, examine the head minutely, and you will probably find one or more large head lice. Anoint the head and the part under the beak with carbolitied vaseline, or one part of the 33 per cent mercurial ointment and four parts of grease. Fleas. Fleas attach themselves to the side of the If ace and under the beak of the fowls and chicks. They are brown in color and can be removed with one greasing of 33 per cent mercurial ointment. They breed in the sared ; where the chickens are accustomd to ! gather, and to rid the premises of I fleas it is necessary to saturate their i | breeding places with a solution of <one part of crest (or similar disiavfect1 ant) and 20 parts of water . i o COVER CROPS.

This is the season of the year wh< the larvae and small nests of th< tent caterpillar are likely to be found upon orchard and other trees, especial ly in localities where the caterpillars were present last year.

Trees infested with larva during the early part of the year, c those in the immediat vicinity, ar perhaps more likely to be chosen b, the parent moth for the deposition c hev eggs, and such trees at lent, should be searched. The recommendations of the depar meat's entomologists for the contrc. of this pest arc, briefly, as follows: As soon as small nests are detected they should he destroyed, as this pre vents further defoliation of the tree When in convenient reach the nest, may he torn out with a brush, will gloved hand, or otherwise, and the laTvae crushed on the ground, care being ' ''ken to destroy any cat " i! lars vhich h ivo remained on t'i tro * The use of a torch to burn out th? nests will bo found convenient when they occur in the higher parts of tlv 'trees. In using the torch great care is necessary that no importer: injury ho done to the tree; it shoub I not bo used in burning our nests ex cept in the smaller branches an* twigs, the killing of which would K of no special importance.

Formerly its use was restricted to rural districts >ut it is possible to find it for sale it nearly every soda fountain. The Ic mand has become so great that the tatural supply obtained as a by-proiuct from the buttermaking process, s not sufficient during the summer nonths and it has become necessary to make buttermilk artificially in order to supply the demands. It is possible to make a very appetizing and healthful beverage in the following manner: Procure skim milk and place in f fruit jar. This should be put in water and the temperature gradually raised until the milk is 1(10 degrees. It is allowed to remain at this temp rature for fifteen minutes, and then cooled to a temperature of 80 degrees by placing the jar in running water. To this a buttermilk tablet is added.
