it is hardly profitable to use it be-

Editor The Ranch, Sir: see in
Nov. issue a question asked in what
months do lambs mate? That is rath-
er a peculiar question, but l will try
and answer it. Ewes generally come
in in August and If the bucks serve
them they will have a lamb in $50
days or about five months. Thus,
a eve that was served in Aug
ust would lamb in January. But as
that is time of year when they can
not be we'll taken care of the bucks
are kept away from them until the
first of November and then the lambs
begin to come about the first Of April
the next year. If eve has lamb
in January and that is eve lamb and
she gets the buck when she first
comes in she would most likely have
lamb the next May or June and she
will be a mother when she is 16
or IT months old. They are very fire.

In Australia they are very often

the bucks are never kept from the

holders and that it would be neces-
sary for me to remit SIS for one share,
or they would return my 81 member
ship fee.
In answer to all my questions and
in the prospectus there was nothing
that led me to believe that in order
to become member one had to be a
stakeholder. 81 membership fee, only,
they stated, but instead they now
wanted Sc for membership fee and one
share of stock.
Well, as they had my two coops of
chickens, I sent the SIS Immediately.
Not hearing from my Sc and two
coops of chickens for more than two
weeks, l wrote them asking when 1
might expect a remittance for the
chickens and also a stock certificate.
In reply they were sorry the check
was not mailed before but blamed the
bookkeeper and would send stock
certificate later. And here is where
the funny part comes in. The weight
was sixteen pounds shy. Now, l had
been shipping to Western avenue all
summer and weighing here by my
scales and they compared very favor
ably. So l wrote them to that effect
and stated sixteen pounds was too
much shrinkage and that there must
be a mistake somewhere. In reply to
that they stated that the scale in
spector just visited their place and
stated their scales were correct.
I asked them twice to return at my
expense. But they never sent the
chickens back. Then I wrote them
again, asking if they counted the
chickens. I did, and they should have
done the same. I thought maybe
some were stolen in transit. If so,
we could hold the express company
for the loss. I enclosed in the letter
stamped return addressed envelope
And that was the last I heard from
the Poultry Producers Union. The
letter never came back and | received
no answer. l hope you will publish
this for the benefit of others.
