TO DISINFECT cow STABLES
In Case of Contagious Abortion Any
of the Standard Coal Tar Mixtures
Will Be Found Good.

For a disinfectant in cases of con-
tagious abortion in COWS, any of the
standard coal tar disinfectants are
good Crude carbolic and bichloride
of mercury are two good ones.
Contagious abortion of COWS is a
serious trouble and must be handled
with extreme care if it is to be sup
pressed. The proper disinfection of the
COW stables and the entire premises
that may become infected is very
important. Under ordinary farm con-
ditions the infected animals should be
separated from the rest of the herd
and kept where there is no chance for
the infection to spread. If it is found
that they cannot be cured they should
be disposed Of

Getting Returns From Cow.

If the COW eats just a little more
than is required to keep her alive her
yield will be small and the cost high,
while if she eats a large quantity
above what is required to maintain
her body, she will give returns from a
larger proportion of her feed.
