Show CURE FOR 8CALY LEG. Coal Oil Used Alone It Too Severe a Treatment. Caul oil nlono Is llttlo used for scaly leg. It Is too sovoro a treatment. Coal oil with raw llusoed oil Is very commonly com-monly used, and Is an excellent remedy rem-edy much more easily applied than anything that has to bo rubbed In. Sulphur Sul-phur nnd lard, or ovon lard alono, Is good. Whothor It Is bettor than coal oil nnd Unseed oil, I can not say. Tho lattor mlxturo certainly Is efficacious nnd very easily applied. For tho former a halt and half mlxturo Is good. If moro tlmo can bo taken, uso about two parts Unseed to ono part coal oil. If you aro in a hurry, tako a stiff old toothbrush, nnd rub off ns much of tho scalo as can bo taken off readily In this way, then dip legs to the hock In tho oil. If you aro not, says Farm Poultry, nt Intervals of a fow days go through tho affected flock at night, nnd dip tho feet of overy hen, holding her with feet In tho oil just an Instant, letting tho oil drip from tho foot Into the pall an Instant more, then replacing replac-ing her on tho roost. |
