Scaly leg is caused by small mite
which burrows underneath the scales
of the legs, where it feeds and lays
its minute eggs. The legs become so
sore at times that fowls are unable to
scratch for food or set on the roost.
The treatment consists of dipping
the legs in crude oil. II not conven-
lent pure kerosene may be used. Dip
early enough so that the oil will dry
before the fowls go on the roost. and
be careful that the oil does not get
on the feathers. One treatment Is

only convinced of his neighbor's sole
