EXTERMINATION
OF LICE, MITES AND FLEAS
How to Kill Parasites on
Poultry and Destroy Their
Breeding Quarters
Formulas For Making a
Cheap, Effective Insecti-

The presence of lice, mites and fieas
is not only troublesome, but these par
asites are responsible for a heavy death
rate; they turn profits into losses in
many otherwise wen-kept flocks. Hens
cease laying, they desert their hatch
ing eggs, chicks are stunted and all
poultry is weakened by vermin; when
vitality is low fowls are subject to dis
case. This article explains how to avoid
these losses.
