DISEASES OF HORSES AND CATTLE. 185 



the stable which can be removed should be burned; 

 the clothing and harness can be boiled, which will 

 destroy the germ. All parts of the building should 

 be washed with carbolic acid, six ounces; water, 

 one gallon. After it has been thoroughly washed, 

 close all the doors, windows and all openings tight. 

 Then put from one to two pounds of sulphur in a 

 pot containing burning coal, and keep it close for 

 ten or twelve hours. Then throw open the doors 

 and windows for several days before putting 

 horses into it. The drains of the stable and the 

 dung, and in fact everything in which there is any 

 possibility for any of the diseased germs to find 

 lodging, should be destroyed. If there is a drain, 

 large quantities of fresh water ought to be forced 

 through, and finish by mixing carbolic acid and 

 water and flush that through and burn the dung.
