JUST ONE COLLAR
SUMNER CARE OF POULTRY

Sheep dip is inc for lice on chickens,
when zone can give them the proper
care after they have been dipped. Ii
one has not good place for them to
dry in, crude carboic acid is much
safer. If the lice are bad paint every
crack around the roosts once week
with the acid three hours before the
chickens 90 to bed. After you have
the lice under control, once a month
will be often enough.
During the summer once week
take a bucket of hot suds, add table,
spoonfuls of the acid and thoroughly
mix in pit of sifted air Stacked lime.
With an open nozzle spray pump spray
every crack in the houss that cannot
be reached with the brush.
In the nests place nest egg, which
has been made by breaking an egg in
halves Fill each hals shell with
plaster of paris mixed with water.
Press firmly together and after they
have hardened soak az hour in crude
carbolic acid. Repeat this every
month as the acid loses strength.
Line the nest boxes with tarred
paper and you won't be troubled with
lice in the nests. 1t makes pretty
good roofing for a henhouse when
rightly put on and painted with tar
paint. For killing lice and mites on
roosts crude petroleum is the best
thing. Put on good coating with a
rag or brush and it will last many
days.
Mites may be got rid OF by spraying
the chicken house with a mixture OF
parts kerosene Oil.
