An excellent remedy for colds is

portion of one drop to every four

Another recommended remedy for

ScaIv Leg Treatment

Scales on the legs Of a fowl are not
only unsightly, but eventually mean
death to the afflicted bird. The course
of the complaint is slow; 1t takes five
or six months to go through all its
phases. Grease is a sovereign remedy
for killing the insects that cause the
trouble. The legs should first be
washed in warm water and then an
nointed with lard and kerosene, or vase
line or sulphur; the treatment repeated
every other day until the legs are clean.
To prevent the pest in the poultry yard,
never purchase bird that has scaly
legs, nor set hen that is afflicted. One
sealy-legged fowl In a pen will sooner
or later spread the disease. Perfect
cleanliness of the houses will go far
towards keeping the place rid of the
mites that cause all the trouble.

for the statements upon thir oaths. The
court thereupon dismissed the twelve
