PARASITES OF POULTRY The presence of parasites is one of the primary causes of unprofitableness and disease in a flock of poultry, says the Poultry Division, Ottawa. There are three distinct groups of parasites prey- ing upon the domestic towl-fleas, lice, and mites. A Common Cause of LosB--H're- vention and Extermination. Groups of Parasietes--0nly the spe- cies of flea, the bird flea, lives upon the fowl. This flea is provided with a sharp piercing mouth; it attacks the fowl at night and through causing com stant irritation and loss of blood does much harm. The mouth of the louse differs from the mouth of the flea in that it is not sharp and used for piercing, but sim- ply for biting. Lice bite sharply and (gauge considerable pain. . ' The most injurious of the mites is the red fowl mite This is yellowish-white to dark red in color. according to the quantity of blood it contains. The blood is drawn from the {owls at night. and during the day the mite hides in the cracks and crevices of the house. When the chickens appear in poor health they should bo examined at night, and if mites are found treatment should be resorted lo. V Prevention and Extermination---" the poultry house is old and contains many crevices. the nesO,roosts and other fix- tures should be removed from it, and the walls and ceilings cavercd with heavy building paper and limcwash. The latter should be applied hot and fairly liquid, so as to enter every crevice in the building. Its quality will be im- proved by adding to every gallon of the wash one-quarter pound of soft soap. previously dissolved in boiling water; also a small quantity of salt. The ma- terial taken from the house should be burned. and new roosting quarters and inside fittings put in. These fittings should be simple in construction and easily removable so that. the vermin can be destroyed. ‘ Before theUowl return to the house they should be thoroughly dusted with insect powder or sulphur. By dusting each fowl over a box or paper. the pow- der can be wolrrubhed among the quills of the feathers. and the excess will not be wasted. The coal tar treatment for the extermination of the gape worm can be effectively used to rid fowls of ver- min. The fowls urn placed in a, barrel, the inside of which is coated with a mix. ture of coal tar and coal oil of the eon- sistency of paint. and the top of the bar. rel is covered. The lice are overcome. by the coal tar fumes and full to the bottom of the barrel. A paper should be placed to catch the vermin when they fall so that they may be destroyed. A Big Blast.

The marvellous sums of the treatmeu han been proved in every corner of the Do. minion. One of the very latest wit- nesses is Mr. Joseph Rochette, St. Jer- ome, Que., who says: " simply hated the thought of food. Of course I had to force myself to eat, but afterwards I always suffered “fith dull, heavy pains in the stomach. I seemed to be bilious' " well and this caused severe headaches, which further aggravated my unfortun-l ate sition. I grew pale, fell away its' weight and the trouble seemed to be un- derinining my whole constitution. I tried several remedies, but without suc- cess; a doctor whom I consulted. advised absolute rest, but this was out of the question as I had to work for my liv- ing. Fortunately for me one of my friends advised me to use Dr. William'si Pink Pills and I decided to do Bo. After taking the pills for several weeks there was a decided improvement in my condi- tion. Not only was my digestion bet. ter, but my general health improved in every way. New blood seemed to be coursing through my veins, bringing new health and strength every day. I took eight boxes of Dr. Willie' Pink Pills altogether, and those who see me now ‘would never know that 1 had Been an 1 unwell day in my life. I owe my splen- ‘did health to these pills, and strongly advise every dyspeptic or weak person Ito lose no time in baking them." Mr. Roehette's statement is a strong tribute to the Tonic Treatment. Dr. willituna' Pink Pills cured him because they actually made‘ new rich blood tor him. These pills) go right down to the root of the trouble in the blood and cure that. _The new blood they make carries healing health and strength to every part of the body. That is the new Tonic Trestmnt, and the-highest medi- cal authorities now recommend this treatment for al the common ailments suoh as anaemia. headaches. backaches, rheumatism, sciatica. neuralgia. nervous- ness, dyspepsia and general weakness. These are all caused by bad blood and therefore are all cured by Dr. William’ Pink Pills.

Eloquent Barber Raises Protest Against a Threatened Evil. (New York Times.) Barbers are seriously considering the question whether the present custom ot men of being clean shaves: has not al- most had its run. InAthe lest five. years one after another of their customers with desperate resolve ordered " mus- tache ot' his beard removed, looked at himself a little foolishly in the glass " ter the amnion, and then went about his business, sometimes having to intro- duce himself to old friends. The result has been that the shaving area of humanity has largely inc-reused, naturally cutting into the profits, as it takes a little longer to shave each cus- tomer. But a thing that in causing real alarm among the thoughtful tonaorial artists lathe evidence that not a few of their customers have. recently raised beard" _ 'ii-iii-mu be well if they simply lot their mustachos grow again. but the real thing in tlte 1PY. of. hairy fart-s is to be dreaded by thd trade. or course tlmse must be trimmed. but that is not like the daily shave, with the daily tip. The worst of it, according to the bar- bers, is that tht doom", who' were large- 1y responsible for the cleatrshaven tace, as a matter of hygiene, have now taken the other view, and are advising patients with weak ithroats toOtt their beards grow. The harbors are fully aware that men I are as subject. to fashions as women. and that if the heard comes in Vogue they will be seriously affected. A well-known barber in a fashionable neighborhood was among the first to fear the coming of the fashion of beard- wearing, with the result that he has changed the timely tapica of his con? versation from remarks about the wow l ther and choke bits of local gossip to keep up a eougtatti, discussion in reg 1rd to the wearing of beards, taking as his text the rarely disputed hypothesis that all peoples of a high order of civilixntion were given to clean shaving.
