2OO Horses on Board Ship. 



it has a very irritating effect on the eyes and 

 organs of breathing of horses and men. 



The daily quantity of disinfectants, per 

 animal, allowed on remount horse ships is : 

 5 oz. McDougall's powder or chinosol, y& pint 

 phenyle, and 2 oz. powdered gypsum. 



The greater portion of the horses' urine 

 escapes through scuppers, or gets soaked up 

 in the dung and is removed when mucking-out. 

 If one side of the ship (as, for instance, the 

 windward side or the one on which the water 

 tanks are not so full as on the other side) is 

 unduly high, the urine on it is apt to collect 

 at the lowest parts of the deck or decks in 

 question ; because it cannot escape by gravi- 

 tation through the scuppers of the side upon 

 which it was deposited by the horses, in which 

 case it should be removed a couple of times
