RICH FARMER NEAR DEATH, VISITS FAVORITE ANIMALS "Take me to my room. This is the end." In these words, C. D. Holt, wealthy farmer and stock raiser, of Kenosha, Wis., gave up his active life, and went to his room to calmly await death. Holt, whose wealth is estimated at more than $500,000, was an intensive business man and lavished everything there was in him on his farm and stock. Three months ago Mr. Holt was taken ill. He submitted to two operations. His physicians told him he had but a short time to live. Seventy-six years old, Mr. Holt demanded that he be taken back to the old home in Pleasant Prairie to die. The doctors declared his whim should be gratified, as they held it was impossible to aid him. He was placed in an ambulance basket and taken to the farm. Six men carried him in the basket from one barn to the other, and the basket was tilted that the old man could see the horses and cattle. He had some of his old favorites from the horse barns and from the herd brought up close to the basket and he stroked their heads for a minute. Lovingly he patted the old dog which had done service about the barns for years. Other members of the party wept, but Mr. Holt only smiled. "Take me out on the knoll overlooking the buildings," he said after the visit to the barns was completed. The men took him out to the knoll and again tilted the basket that he might look over his possessions. "It's one of the most beautiful farms in the world, he said. Then he dropped back into the basket. 'Take me to my room now, this is the end.'" NEW SUMMER BEVERAGES Grapefruit Juice Easily Bottled—Simple Method of Making By-Product A simple method of bottling the juice of grapefruit for use in making acid beverages is advocated by the department as a means of gaining a useful by-product from hundreds of thousands of cases of grapefruit which are now wasted. An investigation was undertaken at the urgent request of Florida grapefruit growers who reported that the market during the season would not take up a large proportion of the grapefruit crop, and asked the department of agriculture to determine the possibility of utilizing the fruit or its juice in some profitable way. All that is necessary, according to the government's fruit juice specialists, is to bring the grapefruit to the barns and from the herd brought up close to the basket and he stroked their heads for a minute. Lovingly he patted the old dog which had done service about the barns for years. Other members of the party wept, but Mr. Holt only smiled. "Take me out on the knoll overlooking the buildings," he said after the visit to the barns was completed.

LICE ON CHICKENS Sprays useful for Mites—Direct Application Required to Kill Lice The following is taken from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Service and Regulatory Announcements of the Insecticide and Fungicide Board for January and February, 1915. It has come to the notice of the Insecticide and Fungicide Board that a great many manufacturers are putting out liquid preparations for killing chicken lice under such names as Liquid Lice Killer, Lice Killer, Lice Killing Liquid, etc. These preparations are for the most part composed of one or more of the following liquids: Kerosene, crude petroleum, crude carbolic acid, crocoste oil, and various other fractions of petroleum and coal tar, as well as turpentine. In giving directions for the use of these preparations against chicken lice it is a common practice to direct that they be applied to one or more of the following places. Rosts, dropping boards, wide boards nailed beneath the roosts, nest boxes, inner walls of the chicken house, etc. Another less common direction for the use of these preparations against chicken lice is to paint the inside of a box with the preparation, place the chicken or chickens in the box, cover loosely with a burlap bag and leave for a certain length of time. It is evident from both of the avove mentioned directions that the manufacturer considers that the fumes which arise from such preparations will kill the chicken lice when the products are used in accordance with directions. The board has now tested a very tion, such that when followed the preparation will succeed in removing lice from chickens effectively, then it will be satisfactory to sell preparations of this character as Chicken lice killers. However, the manufacturer should assure himself that the product will be effective against lice on chickens before making this claim on the label and that injury to the chickens will not result when the product is used in accordance with directions. Such products as those described above, which come within the purview of the Insecticide Act of 1910, and are recommended undertaken at the urgent request of Florida grapefruit growers who reported that the market during the season would not take up a large proportion of the grapefruit crop, and asked the department of agriculture to determine the possibility of utilizing the fruit or its juice in some profitable way. All that is necessary, according to the government's fruit juice specialists, is to bring the grapefruit to the boiling point in a porcelain lined or enameled kettle, pour it while still hot into bottles, which then are hermetically sealed. The juice when so handled will keep indefinitely, and provides a base for grapefruitade or other acid beverages having the characteristic acid, somewhat bitter, flavor of the grapefruit. Experiments show, however, that it is highly important that the bottle be completely filled so that no layer of air be left between the top of the juice and the cork or seal. Where air in any amount comes in contact with the top of the sterilized juice it will cause the juice to change its color. In handling the juice it is particularly important that it be kept from coming into contact with iron or other metals easily acted upon by acids. The investigators found, also, that it was possible to freeze the grapefruit juice into solid ice and then, by whirling the ice in a centrifugal machine, to take out a large part of the water and leave the solids and flavoring matter of the fruit. This freezing and concentrating of the juice greatly reduces the bulk and makes a product which can be sterilized by heating and kept indefinitely. Care must be taken to keep the juice from coming in contact with iron. Those who wish to make a clear juice may filter the grapefruit juice before it is heated by adding to it from 2 to 3 per cent (about 3 ounces avoirdupois to the gallon) of infusorial or Fuller's earth well washed with hot water. The mixture is then forced through a non metallic filter press and the clear juice reheated and boiled. With the freezing process the juice is filtered after concentration, about twice the amount of infusorial or Fuller's earth being used per gallon of concentrate. The chemists, in connection with this bottling of grapefruit juice, notify the public that the same process is not suitable for bottling the juice of oranges and lemons, which will not re- chicken lice is to paint the inside of a box with the preparation, place the chicken or chickens in the box, cover loosely with a burlap bag and leave for a certain length of time. It is evident from both of the avove mentioned directions that the manufacturer considers that the fumes which arise from such preparations will kill the chicken lice when the products are used in accordance with directions. The board has now tested a very large number of these preparations and so far has failed to find a single one which is effective against chicken lice when used in accordance with the first set of directions given. Some few of the preparations were found to be more or less effective against chicken lice when used in accordance with the second set of directions given, provided that the chicken or chickens were left in the burlap covered box for about an hour. It may be added, however, that such a treatment might in certain cases be injurious to the chicken. It is therefore evident that the fumes given off from these preparations in a modern poultry house are not sufficiently strong, or, in other words, are not in sufficient concentration in any case tested by us to kill chicken lice on the chickens. In some few cases the fumes which arise are sufficient to be more or less effective against chicken lice when the fowls are confined with said fumes in a burlap covered box for a considerable period of time. It was further found by the entomologists of the board that most of the above mentioned preparations were effective against chicken mites when said preparations were very thoroughly sprayed over the whole inside of the poultry house, in all cracks and crevices of the poultry house, and over all roosts, supports, dropping boards, and nest boxes. The reason why the above statements are true is obvious when the difference between chicken lice and chicken mites and their different habits are taken into consideration. Chicken lice pass their cycle on the fowl, and chickens are for the most part infested with lice by direct contact or close association with a chicken already infested with lice. If any lice appear in the poultry house, not on the chickens, these are to be considered more or less accidental and not of great importance, since the natural habitat of the chicken louse is the production of phosphate rock in the United States in 1914, as shown by figures compiled by the geological survey, was 2,734,043 long tons, valued at $9,608,041, a decrease of 377,178 long tons in quantity and $2,188,178 long tons in quantity and of $2,188,190 in value from the output of 1913. The output came, as usual, principally from Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina, in the order named. Soon after the outbreak of the European war the phosphate mining companies of Florida—not only the companies that produce the higher grade rock for export, but also those that supply the domestic trade—either curtailed production very materially or suspended mining. The companies doing an export business were more seriously affected than those engaged in a combined export and domestic trade or in domestic trade alone. Of 51 plants operating in Florida in 1914 only 19 were in operation at the close of 1914. Shipments of phosphate rock to Germany, which hitherto has been a large consumer, have almost entirely ceased and those to the other European countries have been seriously interrupted. Though foreign shipments were still being made at the end of 1914, business had been greatly retarded by lack of steamers and by increased EASY FOR UNCLE SAM A letter addressed to the Zerolene Oil Co., posted at Odessa, Wash., and another addressed to the Red Crown Gasoline Co., posted at Calexico, Cal., didn't bother Uncle Sam's servants one bit. The writers knew what they wanted, but didn't know where to get it. The directions were definite enough for the postoffice service, however, and without delay the letters were delivered in each instance to the nearest Standard Oil Company station.

It is evident therefore that if one desires to remove chicken lice effectively, some preparation must be used which can be applied directly to the lice on the chickens, such as a lice powder, dip or spray, or some preparation must be used that will give off sufficient fumes to kill the lice on the chicken by the fumes. It naturally follows if a preparation of the latter character is used it must be used in such a manner that the fumes will be in sufficient concentration to kill the lice on the chickens and at the same time not be injurious to the chicken. On the other hand, if one wishes to remove chicken mites effectively, some preparation should be used (such as creosote oil or kerosene oil) which will soak in all cracks and crevices of the poultry house, cover all roosts, walls, etc., and in this way by direct contact destroy the mites. The board is of the opinion that such mixtures as are described in the first paragraph of this notice are not practical Chicken Lice Killers, but are Chicken Mite Killers, and should be used and sold as such. If in a few isolated cases directions can be given for the use of the prepara- CONFIRMED TESTIMONY The Kind Aanhelm·Readers Cannot Doubt Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test.
