At the nomination Monday Mr.

that the auditors treated any entries

Old Stables Difficult to Disinfect.
The stable that la roughly .con-
iitructed, containing open woodwork,
cracks, crevices, and open or rotting
wood- floors cannot be separated from
its infecting material. Elim, smooth,
tight walls; cement flooring and iron
work: structures can be treated with
a degree of thoroughness that results
in the complete removal of the in-
fecting agents.
Cleaning Up.
The fleet step in a complete dis-
infection of a stable consists in the
removal of all loops dust and filth.
Dirt must be removed from all cracks
and crevices, everything scraped un-
til the material of construction is
fully exposed and clean.. Sweeping,

protects bacteria. Ordinary disinfec-
tion does not penetrate a dried coat
of manure or a wooden floor that
has become porous by decay. Disin-
fection is complete when all exposed
surfaces, as doors, ceilings, walls,
stanchions and equipment are includ-
ed.
edOne cannot expect to promptly
suppress any-cottag
sous disease as
tuberculosis, whitsours or contag-
ious
onto -ious abortin unless the "work is
thoroughly done. All stables no mat-
ter how well kept should be given a
complete disinfection ohce a year.
Application of Germ Destroyer,
Disinfectants should be applied
under pressure in the form of a fine
spray. Spray elle surface until it 1s
thoroughly soaked, do not spare the
disinfectant, you are putting it on for
a purpose.
In outbreaks of acute infectious
diseases special attention should be
given to the floors and arrangers at•
frequent intervals, When animals
can be isolated control' is:'easier.
Every farm should have Its isolation
pens, always ready for, the possible
outbreak.
Agents that Destroy Germs of Disease
Sunlight readily destroys bacteria
that are exposed during the bright-
ness, of summer. Very weak 1n this
reaped during the winter when most
needed.. Like all other disinfectants
the sun's rays cannot reach germs
that are enclosed in filth.
Linie is a cheap and useful vent
against the less resistant genus as
hog cholera or anthrax bacllll,.but it
1a not strong enough to destroy an-
thrax spores or tubercle bacilli. Sta-
bles ehould bo whitewashed from two
to four times a year.
Chlorinated limo, when fresh and
dry is much stronger than lime, it is
used in the same way. It is objec-
tionable in dairy stables. ,
Carbolic acid in solutions up to 6,
per cent. is widely used.- It is rather
expenslve and not as efficient as a
three per cent. solution ofa mixture
of one part volume of crude carbolic
acid and one part volume crude au1-
phuric acid. This Is readily soluble
in water, strong enough to kill tub's
erele bacilli and anthrax spores. It
Is cheap. Milch cows shotild not be
returned to the stable until the vapor
of carbolic acid hag disappeared.
Oreoiine `in solution up to 6. per
cent. Is active against most forms or
bacteria, but it Is not strong enough
for spores unless used in excess of
5% 'solution.
• ' Cresol is highly efficient when com-
bined with sulphuric acid or soap to
render it soluble in water. One
volume of cresol and one-half volume
of sulphuric acid, made up in a three
per 'bent, aqueous solution makes a
very efficient disinfectant.
Corrosive Sublimate, One ounce to
elght•gallons of water or 1 to 1,000
is a. -very strong disinfectant, It is
,very poisonous to cattle and must be
used with care. A.. little salt added
(1,per cent.) is an improvement, The
