Fowls cannot drink enough of milk

Winter-Bred Parasites.

It is we'll to look to animals stabbed
to see if there is any vermin crawling
upon them. In most cases there will
be, unless the animal is fattening. In
winter the hair is thicker than at any
other season. When it begins to fall
out use the currycomb freely, and as
each handful of hair comes out rub
over the place weak emulsion OF
kerosene oil and soap. Only weak
emulsion will be needed, as the slight
est amount of oil on the sides of the
lice will close their breathing holes
and suffocate them. When cattle have
= run out of doors in summer they rid
themselves of lice by rolling in the
dust, which clogs up the lice just as
the kerosene emulsion does.
