olin or tincture of iron. This may also be applied to the 

 warts or pox in the place of iodine. 



Keep runs, yards, houses, etc., thoroughly disinfected and 

 drinking crocks clean. The drinking crocks may be disinfect- 

 ed with lysol. Vaccination of the fowls afflicted has been 

 recommended by certain of our universities, but to the writ^ 

 er's mind this does not give satisfactory results, although by 

 some it has been practiced with success. The above treat- 

 ment of chickenpox, etc., may be amplified by the thorough 

 spraying of houses, runs, coops, etc. And before the spray 

 soaks in, mix either air-slaked or hydrated lime and W. C. 

 De Lapp's Perfection Lice Powder, 50-50. And scatter this 

 mixture well over everything, and you will be surprised to 

 see how quickly the disease will disappear. 



This article is written to emphasize what has already been 

 written on this subject in this book and as this disease is 

 almost universal too much can not be learned regarding it. 



SCALEY LEGS 



For scaley legs use one pint of raw Linseed oil and i/^ 

 pint of kerosene and a few drops of crude carbolic acid. Dip 

 feet of the fowl in this mixture but avoid getting it on the 

 feathers. 



FOR BLACKHEAD IN CHICKENS AND TURKEYS 



Sulphur, 5 grains. Copperas (Sulphates of Iron) , 1 grain, 

 or — 



Copperas (Sulphates of Iron), 1 grain; Sallicylate of Soda, 

 1 grain. 



These remedies should be preceded and followed by a dose 

 of castor oil or Epsom salts. 



Another good remedy is any good brand of liver pills : to 

 small birds V^ a pill ; to older ones a whole one. 



CATARRH OF CROP 



Hold chicken's head downward and gently press contents 

 of crop out. Dissolve one grain of Sallicylate acid in an ounce
