BREEDING THE TROTTER 



grooms should be instructed to avoid waste. It 

 should be well shaken up after removing from the 

 stalls and when dried may be used again. The 

 balance will be deposited in the manure pile. 

 Manure piles should be kept tidy and some dis- 

 tance from the barn. Every day or two, or at 

 least not longer than once a week, the manure 

 should be carted to the fields. 



After the bedding has been removed from the 

 stalls, they should be swept up clean and well 

 aired beside being disinfected with some good 

 disinfectant. My choice is slaked lime, next choice 

 Sanitas. Such treatment will keep the stalls in 

 sanitary condition, will kill the ammonia and 

 make the barn smell sweet. The stalls should be 

 disinfected once a week, and in the spring and 

 fall, if weather is damp, twice a week, or oftener 

 if necessary.
