DISINFECTING The
DAIRY COW BARN

1t Is always good practice where a
contagious disease of, any kind has
gained access to the herd to disinfect
the entire stable. In fact this is often
imperative II 1t is desired to stamp out
the disease. Distinction is absolutely
necessary where tuberculosis has
gained access to the herd. Bulletin 1913
Of the Pennsylvania State College of
Agriculture, recently published, gives
plan for disinfecting the stables
which Is valuable for this as well as
for some other diseases:
First.-Remove all manure, litter,
loose dirt, loose, rotten boards and
scrape the floor clean.
Second-Sweep the ceilings and
walls free from cobwebs, dust and dirt.
Third.-Wash the feed boxes, man
gers, stanchions and partitions with
hot water containing enough I've or
washing powder to cut the dirt. Scrub
all these objects vigorously with a stiff
brush.
FOurth.-Spray the walls. ceilings
and floors with bichoride of mercury

Immediately prior to freshening the

such manner we would suggest that
they be worked up gradually to a ra-
