Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1907 — Kerosene in the Poultry Yard. [ARTICLE]

Kerosene in the Poultry Yard.

For birds which have scaly legs, sponging the legs with a saturate solution of crude naphthalene flakes in kerosene is good. Be careful not to get any on the soft parts and do not allow the birds to go to roost immediately after treating them. This mixture will blister if it gets on the soft flesh. To clean combs and wattles wash with good white soap and hot water. Then rub In a very little vaseline or fresh butter. Do not get on too much grease, as it will collect dust and dirt.
