distance to prevent the commu-
nication of this contagion, if it is
not carried in some way from
pen to pen by the attendant or
by animals. It does not spread
to any appreciate distance
through the atmosphere"
Salmon's remarks on disinfec-
ton and on graduating cholera
are especially practical, the best
we have found anywhere.
"Disinfection should be
constant while this Disease
is on the premises, For this
purpose a solution may be
made by mixing one pound of
carbolic acid with twenty-four
pounds, or say twelve quaats of
hot water. Or one pound Of
sulphric acid to fifty quarts of
water may be used. The latter
is the cheapest, but it is the
most dangerous TO use. When
the sulphuric acid is purchased,
have the druggist dilute it with
twice its weight of water. If
thus diluted it will not burn the
flesh or clothing as severely as
when concentrated, and there is
little danger of an explosion
when it is further diluted. When
diluting it, always pour the acid
very slowly into comparatively
large quantity of water, being
careful that it does not splash
into the eyes, and remember
that considerable heat results.
A wooden bucket is therefore
better than a glass bottle, and,
on account Of its corrosive ma
ture, metal vessals can only be
used for the most dilute solu-
ton. If carefully used with the
proper precautions to prevent it
flying into the face or eyes when
diluting, sulphuric acid is the
most satisfactory disinfectant.
If any gets upon the flesh apply
large quantities of water at once,
or it will burn very deeply; if
it reaches the clothing it causes
discoloration, and soon destroys
the fabric. 1t may be neutralized
with ammonia, or a salu-
ton of baking soda. With
this DEPRESSION concern
ing disiufectants we will now re-
turn to the method Of disjnfect
ing. If possible move the fowls
to new runs and new houses
when cholera appears among
them. Before they are moved,
however, separate all which are
apparently sick, and put these
by themselves. Now saturate
the floor of the old house and all
of the manure which is about it
with one of the disinfectauts
just mentioned. This may be
applied conveniently with a wa
tering can such as is used for
watering flower beds or gardens,
"The healthy fowls of the
flock should be confined to a
small run, and this, as well as
the poultry house, should be dis
infected by sprinkling once a
day. The droppings should be
swept up, disinfected and re-
moved every day. The build
ings should be well whitewashed
and the disinfecting effect Of this
may be increased by
one quarter of a pound of
carbolic acid to each gallon of
lime.
"The fowls should be carefully
watched and if any show signs
Of disease they should be re-
moved at once. 1t is possible to
arrest any outbreak of fowl chol-
IRA in a very short time by
.dopting such measures. If
hey are persevered in for two
" three weeks without any
