Letter From State Sheep Inspector.

The progress made In the last year in
stamping ont scab from the state is en-
couraging. There were 3S7 900 sheep
affected between the months of March
and June, 1901; and between the
months of Septeml her and November of
the same year, there were less than
5000 During the winter we have by
diligent work kept it at about that fig
ure. Great credit is due to the sheep
owners of the state in their effort and
their willingness to obey the law. and
| desire to ask the assistance Of all in
telligent sheep owners to help to ac-
complish what we have started ont to do
namely: To entirely free our state
from this unnecessary disease 1t cost
the sheep men over 100000 last year
TO dip these sheep, besides the loss in
other ways consequent TO dipping.
This unnecessary expense will occur
year after year unless an effort is made
to stamp out the scab.
Scab in Sheep.-The scab in sheep re-
sembles very much the mango in horses.
1t Is very tagious and is caused bv
parasite or mite, which is trife
smaller than those found on chickens.
Sab Is contagious in the same way that
lice are. by crawling from one person
or animal to another. They multiply
!. very rapidly causing the sheep to bite
and scratch On account of the srabious
condition of the skin and the intense
itching caused by these numerous para
sites or mites. They will live on a lock
OF wool for months, subsisting on the
yOlk or lanoline of the wool. The sheen
often pull out the wool from the affected
parts, leaving the parasite clinging to
the detached wool lean sheep living
down upon this wool are quickly infected
with the parasites. Bed grounds where
sheep have been kept are dangerous as
these mites may be in the dust. and
when other sheep walk over them. they
stir up the dust, which falling on the
sheep, infects them. Care should be
taken by the deputy sheep inspectors F.
notify sheep owners Of any infected
grounds
Dipping.-When sheep are found with
scab. they must be dipped. They can
be dipped and cured, BIT WE CAN NOT
DIP THE RANGES, hence we must see to
it that they do not become infected
The spring and summer ranges are
supposed to be clean before the sheep &C
onto them in the spring: winter having
killed all the parasites left there the
preceding fall. If scahby sheep are no,
allowed to go on the rangesin the spring,
they will remain clean, and in this way
we can kill out the scab Deputy in
spectors are requested to see that all
sheep are clean before getting a permit
to go out, and when it becomes necessary
to quarantine any sheep on the range
on account of lambing. they must be
put where they will not come In contact
with other sheep. and away from the

Harvest Hands

Are in demand along the Great Northern
Railway in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Thousands of men will be required to assist
in harvesting and threshing what promises
to be the most magnificent crop inthe his
tory of these states. In order to meet this
extraordinary demand for harvest hands,
we have arranged Tor low one way rate of
$500. This rate will be in effect from Chi
cago, H., to all points as far west as Minot,
N. Oak. Tickets will be on sale every day
from July 26th to August Goth for parties
of five or more on one ticket. We will also
have low round trip homeseekers' tickets
on sale on certain days. In view of the
shortage of farm help during the spring
and summer, and the prospects for an enor-
nous crop, wages are sure to be high. This
is your opportunity to visit this great agri-
cultural section of the Northwest at a very
small cost and secure home and make
some money. There is still some free land
west of Minot that is suitable for mixed
farming and stock raising and decided land
can be purchased at reasonable figures.
Write me fully as to the date you will
start, the number in your party, etc., and
our travelling representative will call on
you and arrange the details of your trip.

other companies that operate in parts of

encountered as in the West. Straight roads
are economic roads, and they invite traffic.
The wild yanks and alarming rolls to which
passengers are subject on some of them
cause train sickness, which is a form of
sea sickness, and headache, and they cause
patronage that promise not merely speed,
but comfort, and steadiness is the more
comfortable, because it indicates security.
