Crude petroleum should be applied to
tho roosts occasionally, In order to
guard against lice. During the few
warm days that are liable to occur In
winter, with the animal heat of the

sometimes be warm enough to enable
lice to work. Kerosene is irritating
to the feet of the fowls, and for that
reason we suggest the use Of crude pc
troleum instead.
