Democratic Sentinel, Volume 20, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 August 1896 — A Vermin-Proof Nest. [ARTICLE]

A Vermin-Proof Nest.

“Having tried plastering hair, I can recommend Its good qualities to all. It can be obtained at any tannery and probably of any mason. Its great virtue lies In Its being filled with lime dust, so that no lice will care to settle near by. If disturbed, the fine Time dust will fill the air, and no hens will at tempt to scratch a nest out thus made. For sitting hens It is just the thing, being warm, soft and a sure preventive against vermin.” If your fowls scratch their nest otit, If your sitting hens and nests are infested with vermin, use plastering hair, and you will have no more trouble. It Is better and cheaper than any patent nest egg, powder, sulpnur or tobacco.—H. S. Green corn Is beginning to taste like horse feed.
