Mr.. Cornelius was survived by wife and
seven children, three sons aud four

scabby leg in poultry is caused by q
minute insect that burrows beneath the
scales upon the leg. An occasional wash
ing OF the roosts with kerosene oil is an
excellent preventive5as It is also against
vermin. II the disease has started Ia the
flock, then wash the turkeys with mix
ture Of one-half water and one-half kero
sene. Repeat the application in week Il
cure Is not etFecIed by the tirst wash. Dc
not use the wash too strong, lest it cause
