be kept in a special place, as near to the diseased hogs as possible.

(corrosive sublimate in water, 1 to 1,000 parts) to wash his hands 
and boots with each time he had been busy about such diseased 
hogs. Said disinfectant should be kept near the pen in which

positively forbid the inspectors from charging owners any extra 
fees.
