Excerpt from Hatching and Rearing of Chicks

First, mix the gasolene and cresol together and then slowly stir in the plaster of paris until all the liquid is taken up. Use enough of the plaster of paris to absorb the liquid and no more. Spread the resulting brownish powder on sheets of paper to dry and then store away in covered cans. To use, take a large baking powder can, punch the cover full of holes with a six-penny nail and fill the can with the powder. This makes a good Sifter to thoroughly sift the powder into the feathers around the vent and under the wings, while an assistant is holding the hen up by the shanks. Work the powder into the feathers with the fingers. This is one of the best powders the writer has ever used. It is also one of the cheapest.
