The carbolic preparations shouKl always be used in the morning and the buildings thoroughly ventilated dur- ing the day so that the odor will not l)e so strong as to be injurious to the birds at night. The treatment recommended al)Ove, if thoroughly carried out, is sufficient to keep the troublesome ex- ternal parasites either eradicated or under such con- trol that they will not prove injurious. For con- venience various other methods have been devised which are more or less effectual. Some throw dry lime dust against the roof and walls of the buildings; others fumigate by burning sulphur and leaving the doors and windows closed for a few hours, there being, of course, no birds left inside at the time; still others fumigate by placing open bottles of bisulphide of carbon about the poul - try-house. Aniseed is dis- tasteful to most of the vermin of birds, and is an excellent remedy when powdered and dusted into the feathers, or when strewn into the nest boxes. A small quantity of the essential oil mixed with hot water renders this more effectual in destroying the mites about the roosts, nests and other woodwork. The essential oil may also be mixed with olive oil and rubbed upon those parts of the birds most frequented by lice; and in case of catarrh caused by the red mite. FifT. 45.—Dermaiivsstisgal/iiiie.
