LICE, MITES AND FLEAS
Slaughter More Hens and Clicks
Than Does Disease. >
Lice, mites and fleas. Here is a
triple alliance that is more disastrous
to poultry stock than all the
host of diseases that chicken flesh is
heir to. That they are on the warpath
now is evidenced by the numerous
requests for help that the poultry
husbandman of Clemson College
is receiving from persons whose
fowls are attacked by the bloodthirty
creatures. Yet proper care j
and treatment will free fowls in a
short time of these nuisances.
The best treatment for lice is to
grease fowls with 33% strength mercurial
ointment (which is poison).
Apply a piece of ointment the size
Of a grain of wheat to the flesh of
the hen at the rear part of the body,
covering a space of skin not larger
/ than a silver quarter. Be careful
not to use too much ointment, because
when it is applied freely the
mercury will be absorbed by the
V chicken's system and egg production
will ce&se. A piece of ointment the
size ol a grain of wheat is enough
and not too much.
?For baby chicks that have head
lice, anoint the head with carbolated
vasoline or apply mercurial ointment
very sparingly. A little grease
rubbed on the chick's head and under
the beak will kill all lice lodging
there and prevent development of
. the lice eggs. This method is better
than dusting with insect powder.
One application of the poisonbus
grease i| good for one month.
Mites live in crevices of the roost,
drop-board and nests in the day
time and attack fowls at night.
They can be seen in the morning
and look like red bugs as they are
filled with the blood of fowls attacked
at night. Mites are eradi'?
.Y r
cated by painting or spraying roosts
and. nests with the following mixture:
keresine, l?gallon; crude carbolic
acid. 1-2 pint; lard, 2 tablefci
. spoonfuls. Melt the lard and mix
with the kerosine, add the acid and
' shake the mixture well. Apply this
mite-killer to quarters where mites
live, making an application every
\ two weeks. A few applications will
clean any hen-house. However, some
old poultry houses have so many
cracks and crevices that the solution
cannot reach the mites. In
such a case, cover the inside of the
house with building paper or sev11
eral thicknesses of newspaper, using
paste for this. Then paint with the
kerosine mixture.,
I , Where fleas infest a poul try house,
it i? Decenary to spray a 5 per cent
2l solution of zenoleum, creolin, cresol
or other coal tar disinfectant. Thoroughly
soak the dust and dirt where
the fleas live. This will kill them
I and their young. Then catch any
fowls that have fleas on the side of
r v
face and under beak and anoint
' these places with the 33 per cent
m|rcurial ointment. One applica^
tion of this ointment will kill every
flea and prevent more from attach-1
ing themselves to the bird.

Suttons Sittings.
i'l , Suttons, July 5: ? The Fourth
passed very quietly, here, the continued
showers caused a great many
disappointments among the young
folk.
Mr and Mrs Pervis Blakely, from
the Oak Ridge section, were here
visiting relatives Saturday.
Mr ESdie Morris of Bryan is seen
in this community quite often of
late. I wonder what the attraction
cai^ be?
Mr J D Cooper of Georgetown is
spending a few days at his old home
near here.
* % Several of the old and young folk
of this place attended Farmers' day
at Andrews Saturday. They report
having had a splendid time Some
of them had the pleasure of shaking
hands with "Our Cotton Smith."
Several interesting and beneficial
talks were made by some of our prominent
statesmen, among whom was
Senator E D Smith, whose talk was
much enjoyed.
^ Miss Mayme Blakeley has been in
Georgetown for several days at the
home of her brother, Mr J M Blakeley.
Messrs Dock Rowell and Talbert
I Lockliear of Trio were in this locality
*
for awhile Saturday night. Come
again, boys.
We are sorry to learn that Mr B
P Cooper, who has been in a critical
condition for the past two weeks,is not
much improved at this writing. He
has the skillful attention of Drs E I
Kelley of Kingstrec and Harper
of Trio. Mr Cooper's health has
been failing for sime years, but we
hope soon to hear that he is climbing
the hill to restoration.
Mr Willie Blakely spent yesterday
with relatives and friends at
Oceda.
We have had the pleasure several
times recently of seeing Mr Frank
Richardson of Salters down here,
driving his new Ford.
This community was visited Saturday
by an electric storm, accompanied
by wind and an excessive !
down pour of rain which did much
damage to the growing crops and
fruit trees.
Farmers around here are still tussling
with the "general." He is
like Jack Johnson. Don't think he
is doing so much on the last innings,
as I see the farmers wearing a more
restful face.
Mrs Wayde Barrineau and children
of Oceda have been spending ,
several days at the home of her
father near here. .
Poor Boy.
UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK.
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
It Salivates You!
It's Horrible!
You're bilious, sluggiFh, consti- '
pated and \believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your \
liver and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your 1
druggist for a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and take a spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you rignt up
better than calomel and without
griping or making you sick I want
you to go back to the store and get
your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow !
you will feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a day's work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's
perfectly harmless, so give it to
your children any time. It can't
salivate, so let them eat anything
afterwards.
A Presidential Candidate.
It is a safe guess that we are going
to have Mr Bryan again as a Presidential
candidate. His platform will
be peace and prohibition. It will
split the Democratic party all apart,
for the South is strong for prohibition,
and Bryan himself, as himself,
is strong with the Democratic party
throughout the wide West. He is
likely, too, to draw from the Republicans
on the same issue that will
strengthen him at the South.?Hart.

Mary Phagan Monument.
Citizens of Valdosta, Ga, have
started a movement to raise a fund
by popular subscription of $1 each
from a thousand Georgians for the
purpose of erecting a monument
over the burial place of "little Mary
Phagan, who lost her life in the defense
of her virtue," in the words of
the petition.

or service.?Elbert Hubbard.
Traveling Man's Experience.
"In the summer of 1888 I had a
very severe attack of cholera morbus.
Two physicians worked over
me from four a. m. to ? p. m. without
giving me any relief and then
told me they did not expect me to
live; that I had best telegraph for
my family. Instead of doing so, I
gave the hotel porter fifty cents and
told him to buv me a bottle of Cham
bcrlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and take no substitute.
I took a double dose accordins:
to directions and went to sleep
after the second dose. At five o'clock
the next morning I was called by
my order and took a train for my
next stopping point, a well man but
feeling rather shaky from the severity
of the attack," writes H W
Ireland, Louisville, Ky. Obtainable
