Scaly leg is Il form of scabies or
mango, caused by the mite known as
the Sarcoptes mutans. 1t is a con-
taglous disease, but does not spread
very rapidly. and there may be only
a few affected birds in flock at one
time. When the disease is first OBJ
served prompt and energetic measures
should be adopted 10 eradicate it. The
affected birds should be isolated to
prevent the spread OF the contagion.
Begin treatment by soaking the legs in
warm water to which soap has been
added until the scales have become
thoroughly softened, and the loose
scales can be removed without causing
bleeding. After this has been done
apply good coat of carbolic ointment
or balsam of Peru. This should be

Feed For Waterfowl.

In feeding the young of all kinds
of waterfowl depend upon the mash.
Nothing is better for them than ground
oats, corn and bran, says the Feather
equal parts in weight mixed into q
semi-dry mash and fed to them in
boxes or troughs not large amount
at any one time, reasonable amounts
frequently. Always have full wa
ter supply near at hand. Waterfowl
always eat little, then drink little.
This they keep up until fully satisfied.
An inexhaustible supply of green food
Is an absolute necessity for the raising
of geese. Nothing Is more easily raised
when once Matched than the young COS
lings. After they have become a few
days old they may wander with the
mother goose provided they are
watched a little when they go about
the water or storms come upon them.
After they are month old they can
battle with the parent geese in the
struggle for life. '
