Disinfectants 5 5 



Stall posts, mangers, hay-racks, head- 

 collars, pails, chains, and all adjustable and 

 non adjustable fittings should be thoroughly 

 washed with the strono-er solution after 

 horses recover from any communicable 

 disease. Wash down surface drains and 

 floors with the weaker disinfectant water. 



When washing out the stable on ordinary 

 occasions, it is a very good plan to add 

 a small quantity of disinfectant to the water, 

 at the same time flush the drains with a 

 strong solution. 



Chlorine and sulphurous acid gases are 

 sometimes used for disinfectant purposes. 



Sulphur candles, or squares, are sold for 

 making the last named gas, but throwing 

 some flower of sulphur on red hot coals 

 produces the same effect. 



Formalin and carbolic vapours are 

 frequently employed, but require a little 

 more careful manipulation.
