SHEEP EAT LOCO
Choice Bunch of yearling Ewes Be-
LONGING to Sage Greek Co. LoCoed.

l.. H. Hamilton, manager of the Sage
Creek Sheep company, returned last
Sunday from the Flatwillow and Forest
Grove sections where he went to look
after the wintering of a bunch of ewes
who are afflicted with 'lpco
The bunch consists of about $500
yearling ewes for which Mr.. Hamilton
refused $4,000 durin gthe past summer.
In July they were taken to the range
OF John Sellers near Forest Grove,
Where they were to be wintered by Mr..
Sellers for certain consideration. The
range In that vicinity is full of loco
and in September last few of the
sheep began to show signs Of being af-
fected with the disease peculiar to eat
ers of that weed. Mr.. Sellers thought
that the sheep would soon recover from
the first effects, but instead they kept
getting worse until Mr.. Hamilton was
finally notified of the condition of the
sheep.
The entire band is affected Several
hundred have already died an the re-
mainder are in bad condition. The
sheep are now being trailed to Flatwil-
low where they will be cared for on the
Shaw ranch (the old Parburv place).
Mr. Hamilton has purchased 300 tons
Of alfalfa which will be fed to the
sheep, and with careful housing it is
hoped that majority of them can be
sabed.
The loss which will result to the Sage
Creek Sheep company is very heavy
one and the sheep were of the choicest
kind. Even should the sheep recover
from the attack of loco, it would not
De safe to range them in any loco re-
region, as they would be especially liza
bic to a second attack, which would be
more severe than the first.
