Get Rid of the Rooster Many farmers, through sheer foree of habit, still keep many roosters in the flock during the summer season. A farmer who keeps 100 or 300 hens for laying 'purposes has no need to allow any roosters to run with them. The farmer who is producing eggs for market will be well advised if he will pick out the ceckerels or year old roosters or others if very valuable-- --and segregate them. Keep them away from the hens, most of the time | at least, until next February or March, according to the time when he intends to start hatching again. Keeping roosters, now that hatcheries are used so generally is a needless expense after the hatching season closes. MYRTLE The recent showers have been great- ly welcomed to cool the air after the intense heat of last week. Mrs. R. Campbell of Toronto spent the week end with her brother Mr. Oscar H. Downey. Rev. Mr. Totten is getting settled in the parsonage and with his wife and family are being welcomed to this part of the circuit. Mrs. Slaughton, of Toronto, been visiting Mrs. W. S. Parks. Mr. and Mrs. Wiles who are on a motor trip from Alberta to Ottawa visited the former's aunt Mrs. Will Cook, last week. A number from here attended the decoration services at Prince Albert recently. Mr. Schyler Porter has accepted a position as truck driver on one of Mr. Irwin McBrien's milk routes and eommenced his mew duties on Monday, taking in the route along the seventh at Kinsale and Audley, then to To- ronto. Mr. L. Wood has the contract of building the cement work for Mr, Frank Fisher's new barn at Ashburn. has Prospect Garden Party In spite of the cloudy day and the showers at night, the Prospeet Garden Party, had a fair crowd. The ladies had made big preparations and were ready to carry out their part for a big crowd, but the rain came along and discouraged many from attending.

TREATMENT FOR EXTERNAL PARASITES OF POULTRY (Experimental Farm Notes) The hot days of summer is the time Ti To Vote on Hydro Bowmanville ratepayers will vote again this year on the purchase of the Hydro distribution plant in that town, it is announced. The voting date will be in November, and particulars of the by-law is being prepared by the Hydro Commission. (Lindsay Post, July 18th.) The east wind blowing across the Scugog River carried into the main part of the town last night a hu indescribable odors of the hundreds-- perhaps, even thousands--of dead fish that floated on the surface of the river in varying stages of putrefac- tion. | On Saturday a person could see the fish pushing up from the bottom of the river and dying near the surface. ! Today they and the odor are being raked out of the water below the Lindeay street bridge and are being carted away in barrels. They will be. taken and buried. ! What eaused the death of so many hundreds of fish at the one time is' not known, but the Gane and Fish. erias Departments is going to make | an investigation, and some action will be taken If it is possible to determine the cause. While suckers, perch and minnows form a large portion of the casualties, a large number of bass can be seen even yet on the water, although 'a large portion of the bodies have been washed down the river. = The fish started dying suddenly on Friday last, but nothing out of the ordinary was notieed until Saturday. Game Warden R. D. Windsor has been down to the river a dozen times, but he can offer no plausible sglution as to the cause of the slaughter. It that calls for close attention if the flock is to be kept free from external parasites. BODY LICE--If the surroundings are kept in a clean sanitary condition , trouble will be occasioned with body which he expects to need next spring! and a dust bath is provided, not much lice so long as the birds are in good health, but let any bird get out of condition and it becomes a veritable propagating place for lice. These lice, however, are no great menace as they may be readily controlled. There are numerous lice powders on the! market, any one of which will get! good results. Ordinany fine road dust' with a little flour of sulphur added, about a quarter of a pound of sulphur to a quart of road dust, will be found to give satisfactory results, when carefully dusted through the feathers. Blue ointment, a piece about the size of a small pea rubbed below the vent and underneath the wings, will also prove efficacious but the latter should not be used on setting hens. The most convenient remedy, however, that has been tried out at the Central Experimental Farm is Black Leaf 40, which can be purchased from any seed merchant. Paint the sides of the roosts immediately before the birds go to roost and the fumes will effectively rid the birds of all vermin. Mites--Mites are a much more ser- ious menace to the poultryman's pro- fits as they are much harder to get rid of than the body lice, but here again cleanliness is absolutely es- sential if the pest is to be successfully coped with. When mites are found to be present, the first step in banishing them is to give the house a thorough cleaning. Remove all droppings and old nesting material, scrape and sweep out every particle of dirt and burn it. Then if water pressure is available turn on the hose, forcing the water into every crack; if, as is the case on most farms, you cannot use this method it is ad- visable to scrub down the walls with a brush or old broom, but in any' case they should be thoroughly sprayed or painted with a good strong disin- fectant. This wash should be re- peated in a few days to destroy the mites which hatch after the first ap- plication. The disinfectant may be applied with a hand spray-pump, or, if one is not available, a brush will do, but in either case the fluid should be used liberally and every crack flood- ed. A goed strong solution of any of the coal tar disinfectants commonly offered for sale will prove effective. Ordinary coal oil will kill the mites, but as it evaporates quickly the eff ' ber of the bass in formaldehyde, and | tle water, permission was obtained to are not lasting. An excellent to three or four parts of crank ease oil. Even after the house nas ; eleaned, the cracks in the roosts and nest-boxes should be flooded at regula: | intervals throughout the summer | either with the aforementioned paint or with coal oil. may be the hot water, it may be that the water is too stagnant, it may be that there is some foreign element in the water that is poisoning the fish, or it may be something else entirely. At any rate he has pickled a num- these will be examined. Hven if the "post mortem" doesn't reveal the cause of the death of the fish, the De- partment will likely send an expert down here to make a full investiga- tion. While no suggestion to that effect has been made, it is quite possible that there is some link between the death of the fish and the drop in the standard of the town water, which was rated "A" a few weeks ago, but in the last report reveived by the Board of Health was given a "D" by the laboratories. As the result of the unsatisfactory --although, it was sald at the meeting of thé Board, not dangerous--state of prevent any swimming in the upper Scugog between Hildrenbrand's Land- ing and the brick yard. Possibly the investigation in the death of the fish will reveal that something else has been affecting the water. Big Picnic at Bowmanville With a record attendance close to 6000 people the first annual picnic of the Bowmanville Business Men's As- sociation held at the Cream of Barley Camp, Wednesday afternoon last, was a magnificent siccess. The Plymouth Sedan offered as the grand prize was won by Mrs. Elsie Smith, of Whitby, the Rogers' Radio was won by Mrs. G. Harwood, of Port Hope, and the Walnut Cedar Chest, by Miss Helen Glanville, of Bowman- ville. Mayor Milton J. Elliott made the draw for'the lucky tickets shortly before 11 o'clock before a huge crowd. ---- HUMOR FOR ALL The modern girl is as hard. as nails physically, says a noted doctor.

Virgin, who operates a gas station on King Street West, Oshawa, was just closing for the night when the two men drove up and asked for gas. They paid Virgin, who asked them for a ride ot Whitby, which was granted. On reaching Thornton's Corners, a few miles west of Oshawa, the driver turned north on a lonely side-road, where the hold-up | was effected. Virgin was left to walk the rest of the way to Whitby, and on arriving informed the police. While he was unable" to obtain the number of the car, which was an old coupe, he stated that one man was short, of dark com- plexion, and wore a light cap. The other man was taller, with dark suit and wore glasses. Chief Quintrill and Provincial Constable Mitchell are in- vestigating. tll MMB MUST BAN WAR STATES WELLS (Oshawa Daily Times) With international and political life "out of gear" Europe and: America will head toward the melting pot in which Russia now finds herself unless the possibility of war is eliminated, H. G. Wells, British author, said in a radio address this week rebroadeast in the United States over the Col- umbia system. Mr. Wells likened the position of governmental leaders of today to the Kerensky in Russie in 1917. "We are taxed crushingly to pay for the last war and prepare for the next," he said. "It is time that we released this brake on our economic machinery and put war out of the list of possible things. Unless our states- men and leaders can get together and do that, we too, shall totter on the brink of this same melting pot." The author said that in the latter stages of the world war there was 'talk of reorganizing the world "to be made safe for democracy and fit for heroes and all sorts of 'pleasant things." "That, we , all know, was just politicians' patter," +he added: "They did not know then what these phrases meant. But they sounded good. Since then we have had 18 years of nothing. We are no nearer today than we were then to the unified world which might be so prosperous and so splendid."

Speaking before members of the Ontario Swine Breeders' Association at the 0. A. C. recently, Prof. R. G. Knox, swine specialist at the college, outlined some of the work which had been going on in his department. One of the leading problems which had been studied recently was pernicious anaemia of young pigs, a disease which accounts for the death of a large number of young pigs every year in Ontario. In co-operation with the staff of the Ontario Veterinary College much progress has been made and a r bly sure r y is un- der test at the present time. The policy of using pure bred stock in the hog industry was justified by the results of a five-year experi- ment with a number of pure bred and cross bred hogs kept under similar conditions, the pure bred stock coming out on top owing to their extra quailty.
