THE DISINFECTION
OF STABLES.
The Importance of Thoroughly
Disinfecting Barns After An
Outbreak Of Disease Among
Stock is Not Always Appreci-
ated by Farmers.
By George N Pope. ]


1t has been found that the aver
age stockman and farmer does not
realize the Importance Of thor
oughly disinfecting his premises
following an outbreak Of contagi-
Gus disease. There is apparently a
widespread lack Of information re-
gardlng the gernicidal power Of
various substances. commonly
termed dislnfectants. There IS
also a lack Of knowledge concern
ing practical and economical
methods of proceeding with the
work Of disinfection. Moreover,
the temperance Of a contagious
disease on premises from which it
was believed to have been eradicat-
ed may frequently be traced to
careless or imperfect work in con
nectlon with the cleaning and dis
infection Of the place.
1t is but natural to acknowledge
the presence Of only such objects
as can be seen with the unaideG
/ eye. Science. however. bv means
OF the high power microscope
has clearlv y proved the existence OF
! numerous minute animal and vece-
table organisms-and it is mat
ter OF common knowledge tha
many OF these organisms frequent
ly find their way into the ANNA
body and produce disease. It /.
also we'll known that these germs
vary IN form and other character
1stlcs and that for each disease @
an infectious nature there is a spe
! cific germ.
II these germs could be continet
TO the animal body and die witt

dairy products, and especially IN
the newly settled regions 1t is
found that the dairy industry fills
such a place il agricultural
economy that its development Is
urgently needed.
In addition. a special enterprise
has been undertaken with creamery
patrons in some States. the object
being to determine whether II

Here also record keeping has been
introduced. along with other I'M

ducc profits.
In the older States Of the North
dairyi11e is already an established
and highly developed industry.
Cow testing associations are >ocle-
ties for cooperating III the keeping
OF herd records by engaging a man
who goes from farm to farm peri
odically, makes observations and
keeps records for the herds Of all
the members Of the association
BY this means records are secured
without the trouble or,eNpense IN
VOWED when each man keeps them
for himself and in various other
ways the cooperation OF the farm
crs is productive OF profit The
primary objects are TO detect and
weed out inferior individual COWS,
and by the use OF pure-bred bulls
to perpetuate and intensity the
valuable characteristics OF the
COWS that are found to be good
ones-thus raising the average
quality Of the individual COW and
the total productiveness Of the
herd. There are eighty-iive COW
testing associations. now in twenty
States, comprising $1,000 COWS.
The records Of one Of these as
sociatlons show that the profit was
doubled after four Years work.
For instance, man with eight
COWS found, the first month OF
keeping records. that he was losing
5 Ia cents per COW. or 44 cents on
his herd for that month. .After
three months testing he was max
ing profit Of S,32 a month on the
herd. and at the end Of the yea,
his profit has increased to SO a
month. This notable increase wa,
due largely to the sale of FIVE oI
his poorest COWS. and the purchase
of as many well-producing ones tc
take their places. In addition
there were changes made in The
method OF feeding, which conducee
to the results.
