DAIRY MEETING. 12J 



Ans. I should think it would be the wisest thing- to keep 

 them out for a while. Let them do the business by correspond- 

 ence. Of course, as a rule, a cattle dealer will not wear the same 

 clothes when he goes to another state to make a visit, which he 

 has worn about the cattle. He will probably put on his Sunday 

 clothes, but why not be on the safe side for a little while ? 



Ques. Is there any danger of contagion by correspondence? 



Ans. That is a question which is open to discussion. I think- 

 that a man who had been handling his cattle, and milking his 

 cattle having diseased udders, getting this material upon his 

 hands and then immediately writing a letter, without taking any 

 care, might be liable to transmit the disease through corre- 

 spondence. 



QuES. What do you consider the best disinfectant? 



Ans. I think a solution of about five per cent of carbolic acid 

 is the best. Any of the disinfectant solutions are good ; chloride 

 of lime is exceedingly good, to be used with the bedding, but for 

 a final disinfectant I think whitewash with five per cent of car- 

 bolic acid is the best thing.
