CARE OF LIVESTOCK 



does its own wonderful work in closing a wound and knitting up the 

 flesh. A true antiseptic destroys the enemies to healing, and the wound 

 then will heal of itself. If it were not for bacteria no wound would be 

 fatal unless a vital organ were crippled. Abscesses, wounds, and sores 

 give the very best conditions for the growth of germs and, without any 

 antiseptic, they swarm with them. It is the tendency of every open sore to 

 form pus. 



WHAT IS A There are some germicides that would be dangerous to 

 GERMICIDE? use as antiseptics. Germicides work in two ways by 

 odor and by contact. A good germicide that is effective 

 by both odor and contact, will, if systematically used, prevent the growth 

 of disease germs under conditions where they would naturally thrive and 

 multiply to the danger point. Germicides keep down dangerous gases 

 and make the atmosphere clean. They don't take the place of shovel 

 and hoe or an extra hired man, and will not clean out filth; but they will 

 make the atmosphere wholesome and free from the germs which cause 

 disease. 



WHAT IS A If your antiseptic and germicide has that property 



PARASITICIDE? which makes it a parasiticide it is a truly valuable 



product. By parasiticide we mean ability to destroy, 



not only the lice and vermin which infest the animal upon the surface of 

 the skin, but the parasites which burrow under the surface and cause skin 

 disease like mange, itch, etc. To be a true parasiticide the preparation 

 you select must do all this, but it must stop with the parasite and not hurt 

 the animal in the least or injure the skin, hair or wool. 



WHAT IS AN Now comes the full test of a general, all-around article: 

 INSECTICIDE? It must kill insects, anything from a bed-bug, cock- 

 roach, or flea, to the potato-bug or the little aphis that 

 injures the rose bushes; and ants and all creeping and crawling things. 

 Thus it is an insecticide. Such an article is Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and 

 Disinfectant, an article that can be depended on at all times for countless 

 purposes, the best all-around dip and disinfectant, parasiticide and insecti- 

 cide for the farmer and the stock owner of today. 



CLEAN HEALTHY In stable sanitation great strides have been made 



STABLES in the last few years. Even legislation has taken 



a hand in many states, enforcing inspection to meet 



the demand for clean healthy stables and sanitary dairy conditions. Especi- 

 ally is this true where dairy and beef cattle are kept. On first thought 

 such laws might be felt to work a hardship upon the owners of stock. 

 But as a matter of fact they are a benefit to everyone; and especially 

 to owners, who actually reap an increased profit from living up to the 

 requirements of the law. 



Stagnant water, or water accumulated in holes without an outlet 

 should be avoided. Here again it is worth while to repeat the caution to 

 keep all the yards clean. Remove all manure and accumulated rub- 

 bish. Drain the wet places and fill them in. Stir up the earth so that 

 the sun can get to it and purify it. Sprinkle once a month with a good 

 disinfectant, like Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant, which is a 

 general purpose article. Disinfect thoroughly. Whitewash all sheds for 

 sheep or swine, and make everything sweet and clean. See index for 

 receipt for United States government whitewash.
