PROGRESSIVE POULTRY RAISING 



"In dipping the fowls it is best to hold the wings over 

 the back with the left hand and quickly submerge the 

 fowl in the solution, leaving the head out while the feathers 

 are thoroughly ruffled with the other hand so as to allow 

 the solution to penetrate to the skin on different parts of 

 the bird. The head is then ducked once or twice, the 

 bird is lifted out of the bath and allowed to drain a few 

 seconds and is then released. 



"It is not necessary to keep the fowl under the water 

 longer than 20 to 30 seconds and the head only an instant." 



Mites can be controlled by spraying thoroughly the 

 interior of the hen house and all the fixtures with a mix- 

 ture of kerosene and crude oil in the proportion of i to 3. 

 As a usual thing, one thorough application will completely 

 eradicate the mites of the infested house but to make sure, 

 it is advisable to make a second spraying a month after 

 the first.
