In stables which can be closed tight
ly d~isinfection may be accomplished
by e of certain antiseptic gases.
The ones more commonly used are
formaldehyde and sulphur dioxide.
In either case all openings and
cracks must be thoroughly closed and
sealed. Unless this is done. disinfec-
tion will not be thorough.
Formaldehyde may be applied by a
special spraying apparatus, but good
results may be obtained by sprinkling
the 40 per cent solution over a large
surface by means Of which the gas
will rapidly set free. A good method
is the n in which sheets of cloth are
suspended in the stable. They are
sprinkled with the formaldehyde So
luton. The gas is rapidly given off
and soon permeates the entire space.
Distinction is more thorough when
walls, ceilings, floors, etc., are pre-
viously moistened with water. OWING
to the irritating nature of the gas per-
sons engaged in applying this method
should be quick about their work.
The stable should be kept closed
about twenty-four hours, after which
it should be given a thorough airing.
In case the gas fingers too long a lit
tie ammonia water should be sprinkled
about the stable. Use one quart of 40
per cent formaldehyde for every 1000
cubic feet of space. approximate
cost As cents to 60 cents per 1000
cubic feet).
When applying sulphur dioxide
fumigation the stable must be thor,
oughly closed and sealed. Sulphur di.
Divide is made by the burning of sui.
phur and the following method is the
most practicable. The sulphur (roll.
sulphur) is placed in a large cast iron
pot. This pot is now placed in a wash
tub and the latter filled with about
three or four inches of water in order
to prevent danger from fire. Wash
tub, pot and sulphur being placed in
the center of the stable, the sulphur
is ignited by pouring a couple of
ounces of alcohol or wood alcohol over
the sulphur and lighting it with a
match. After the sulphur has begun
to burn the stable door may be closed
and the space left exposed to the
fumes for twelve hours, after which
the doors and windows should be
thrown open. Use three and one-half
pounds %roll-sulphur for every 1000
cubic feet of stable (Approxi.
mate cost Is cents to 20 cents per
1000 cubic feet).
While in most cases any one of the
methods mentioned is quite sufficient,
it is a good practice to apply sulphuric
fumigation after their use.

Mares Best for Farm Work.

The chief factor in the rapid distri.
button of pure bred horse breeding
stock appears to be the rapidly grow
ing realization among farmers that
pure bred mares will do farm work
more effectively than even grade
mares and that they are vastly more
profitable from an economic stand
point than geldings or mules employed
In farm work. The latter return only
their labor, while mares discharge the
work OF the farm as well as geldings
or mules and produce In their colts an
additional source OF revenue.

English tracts and OF the

of the strange phraseology-a kind Of

of them:
