When your fowls sit around picking
themselves and looking droopy and
shabby, get a large deep can or buck

water; catch your fowls, take them
one by one, by their wings, and with
tho head held straight up. dip them
down, pretty hard, two or three times
into the water; let the head go com
pletely under once; do this quickly
to avoid strangling the fowl; then
turn It loose.
After waiting a few hours for the
water to drip from the feathers, drive
them into the shade, so the sun will
not blister them. For a short time
they will be a sorry looking lot of
fowls.
This treatment causes the feathers
to fall apart, so the body of the fowl
is cool, the water softens the skin;
the grease-laden feathers fall out eas
ily, and the new ones push their way
through the skin and grow in masses
Instead of one or two in a place; the
time of moulting is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all vermin on the
fowl, while the grease-saturated feath
ers are death traps to any vermin that
may got on them.
Keep the bucket filled with water
and pour more grease on the water
from time to time.
The fowls should be dipped early In
the morning and mado to roost under
shelter for several nights.
By dipping fowls in the early fall
they becomo healthy and free from
peats, hence stand tho winter better,
and in the spring have little or no
vermin to annoy them and get on and
’till their little ones.

have much bowel trouble, and sprinkle
the floor of the brooder with gnod
clean sand every day or two.
Vermin In Hot Weather.
Vermin breeds much faster in
warm weather than In cool weather.
Often give the henhouses, brooders
and brood coops a thorough disinfect
