There coz ttnues to be much talk
by farmers In town OF the loss OF
sheep. The cause generally assigned
is insuficlency of proper feed. Heavy
stocks Of sheep are on hand and the
shortage Of grass In the long dry
spell Of summer, shortage again Of
grass 10 autumn, the poor quality and
limited acreage OF fall wheat, all con-
tributtng to the condition. OF hay
there fs an abundant supply, but the
general statement is that sheep do not
thrive on the average hay. Some
farmers claim that clover and alfalfa
are the only kinds of bay on which
sheep viii do well. The mortality a.
mong sheep at the present time Is by
far the greatest that has been known
In this secticn In years, In some In
stances the losses aggregate ten to
twenty per cent.
