Kerosene in Poultry-Yards.

The many uses that it (kerosene)
may be put to in the yard, make it an
indispensable article to be charged to
the expense account, and no other
articles will so enhance the profit OF
the poultry-yards as kerosene diligent-
ly and intclligently used. For paint
inc the inside of nest boxes for sitting
hens, there is nothing equal to it, as
it surely kills all vermin with which
il comes in contact. and prevents all
vermin from entering the nest until it
is entirely evaporatel, which, II the
crude oil is used, will give the hen
ample time TO hatch her brood. A
few drops in the drinking water, oc-
ca>ionally, has Il g od fl Ct upon the
general health of the flock, and for
colds or roup there is nothing better
if carefully applied. Scaly legs may
be cured BY simply wetting the legs
of the fowls affected, occasionally
and the crude oil is best il this case
also, as it takes Il much longer time to
evaporate. When the crude oil Is not
readily obtained. some kind OF heavy
oil or crease should be mixed with
the keros ne to 5 ay evaporation. AS
