CBy GEORGE w. POPE, Veterinary In
spector, United States Department of
Agriculture)
In the work of the bureau of animal
industry in dealing with infectious dis
eases of live stock it has been found
that the average stockman and farmer
does not realize the Importance of thor
oughly disinfecting his premises fol-
lowing an outbreak of contagious dis
ease. There is apparently widespread
lack of information regarding the
germicidal power of various sub
stances, commonly termed disinfect-
ants. There is also a.lack of knowl-
edge concerning practical and econom-
ical methods of proceeding with the
work of disinfection. Moreover, the
temperance of contagious disease
on premises from which it was be-
lieved to have been eradicated may
frequently be traced to careless or i'm
perfect work in connection with the
cleaning and disinfecting of the place.
1t is but natural to acknowledge the
presence of only such objects as can
be seen with the unaided eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
microscope, has clearly proved the ex-
istence of numerous minute animal and
vegetable s-microorganisms
and it is a matter of common knowl-
edge that many of these organisms fire.
quently find their way into the animal
body and produce disease 1t is also
well known that these micro-organ-
isms, or germs, vary in form and 9TH
er characteristics and that for each
disease of an infectious nature there
is specific germ.
The work of disinfection is based
upon our recognition of the presence
of disease germs, and disinfection
means the act of destroying the cause
of the infection. In other words, disin-
lection is a removal of the cause, and
1t will be clear to any practical man
that in dealing with disease any effort
which stops short of a complete re-
moval of the cause is most unwise and
Improbable. To those unaccustomed
to the work. disinfection may seem a
most complicated process. Any ap-
proved method, however. Is compara-
lively simple when carried out care

fully, although. like many another pro-
cedure, 1t is one in which attention to
details counts for much. 1t is i'm
portant to bear in mind that the caus-
ative agents for T.any diseases are ex-
tremely small, and may remain for an
indefinite time in dust, cracks, and
crevices of buildings, SO that efforts
aiming at the eradication of disease
from contaminated premises must be
thorough in order to be effective.
In the work of disinfection nature
has provided man with most valu-
able ally-sunlight. 1t is well known
that the direct rays of the sun are de-
structive to many forms of bacteria. in
ONE cases destroying them and in 9TH
ers lessening their influence. Thus
the importance of well-lighted stables
is evident. The dark and sunless
building will be a favorable breeding
place for bacteria, and the structure
which admits the greatest amount Of
sunlight will be the least favorable for
their development. Again. heat will
destroy the bacteria of disease. BY
this il not meant the ordinary heat of
the sun, but heat as developed in boil
ing water or in fame. 1t is upon this
principle that the surgeon before op-
