INSECT I>OWr>EFr 



W. COOK'S Improved Insect Powder will destroy all insects on poultry, 



Eigeons, cage birds, dogs, and cats ; also destroys black beetles, and is used 

 irgely for household purposes ; it is indispensable in keeping the nest 

 and sitting hen free from insects, and is perfectly harmless. Should be 

 freely used before hatching, both on the hen and in the nest, as it is im- 

 possible for chickens to thrive when covered with vermin. Sold in tins, 

 6d. and Is. ; by post, 8d. and Is. 3d. ; or 5s. tins, carriage paid. 



Ointment for Destroying Nits on Fowls. 



This is prepared for destroying nits on poultry, which are usually 

 found round the head and under the throat. I have given the recipe in 

 many of my writings for making the ointment, but there are numbers of 

 people who will not go to the trouble of preparing it. I have therefore 

 improved upon the recipe, and produced a preparation which will destroy 

 every nit. It should be rubbed in carefully as far as the nits extend, and 

 at the same time it does not injure the birds in any way. No matter 

 whether the fowls are old or young, they should be well dusted all over 

 with insect powder. DIEECTIONS : Lay the bird on a large sheet of 

 paper, which should be placed on a table, so that the powder, which rests 

 on the outside feathers, can be shaken off with the hand on the paper, 

 and put back in the box. When chickens, or hens, are very full of 

 vermin twice dressing will do, but if not, once doing will be quite 

 sufficient. This ointment will be found a great boon to poultry keepers, 

 as it not only destroys the little vermin, but also the larger ones, called 

 by some people "ticks," which collect round the head, and destroy 

 thousands of chickens.

W. COOK'S FATTENING POWDERS. 



These powders are very useful in assisting poultry to put on fat and to

 and assist digestion.
