A Remedy For Lice.

A correspondent in Epitomist
recommends dipping chickens to rid
them of lice and chiggers. He says
Select some warm. sunny day and

Use one tablespoonful of creosote to
one gallon 81 water and wet the fowl

coal oil, as there is where most of
the mites are to be found. If one
does not care to dip all the poultry 1t
Is good plan to dip all hens just
before putting them of with
chickens. If there be lice on the
young chicks they may be DESTROYED
