is a thick, sirupy fluid vary-ing in color in different lots from nearly a colorlessfluid to dark brown. It does not mix readily with water 110 POULTRY HOUSES AND FIXTURES and, therefore, in order to make a satisfactory dilute so-lution, it is necessary first to incorporate the cresol withsome substance like soap which will mix with water andwill carry the cresol over into the mixture. The com-mercial cresol, as it is obtained, is a corrosive substance,being in this respect not unlike carbolic acid. It should,of course, be handled with great care and the purecresol should not be allowed to come in contact with theskin. If it does so accidentally, the spot shtjuld be im-mediately washed off with plenty of clean water. Measure out 3 US quarts of raw linseed oil in a 4or 5-gallon stone crock; then weigh out in a dish 1 lb.6 oz. of commercial lye or Babbits potash.

Let this stand for atleast 3 hours until the lye is completely dissolved andthe solution is cold; then add the cold lye solution veryslowly to the linseed oil, stirring constantly. Not lessthan S minutes should be taken for the adding of thissolution of lye to the oil. After the lye is added con-tinue the stirring until the mixture is in the conditionand has the texture of a smooth homogeneous liquidsoap. This ought not to take more than a half hour.Then while the soap is in this liquid state, and beforeit has a chance to harden, add, with constant stirring,8^ quarts of commercial cresol. The cresol will blendperfectly with the soap solution and make a clear, darkbrown fluid. The resulting solution will mix in anyproportion with water and yield a clear solution. Cresol soap is an extremely powerful disinfectant.For general disinfecting, such as houses, incubators,nests, and other wood
