SHEEP TO Be SHIPPED
From Kentucky Into Other
States Must be Dipped in
Louisville.

Frankfort, KY, May pa letter
from A. d. Melvin, Chief of the
United States Government Bureau of
Animal Industry, was received by
Commissioner Of Agriculture Rankin
to-day, in which 1t is ordered that
all sheep shipped from Kentucky must
first be sent to Louisville to be
dipped no matter in what part of the
State they may be raised. The let
ter, which is the most important to
sheep raisers that has been receiv-
ed byRankin since theFederal Quaran-
tine was ordered, says:
"All clippings, required under the
regulations in order that sheep may
be moved interstate, shall be done at
points where Federal inspection is
maintained. Louisville is, at present,
the only place in the State where
dipping facilities are available and
bureau inspectors stationed, but If
proper yarding and dipping facilities
should be installed at other points,
the Secretary of Agriculture will, no
doubt, consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
maintaining inspectors at such places
for the purpose of inspecting and
dipping sheep for the convenience of
shippers.
"Sheep Intended for interstate move
ment as the result of being dipped,
must be accompanied by a certificate
signed by an inspector of this bu-
reau, showing the date and manner
in which the work was performed as
we'll as other necessary data. Blu
reau supervision of the dipping of
sheep is supplied without expense TO
the owner"

Colonel Render is now looking about
for a suitable tract of land near the
city on which he will erect a home
before this year is gone that he will
occupy for the remainder of his life,
and he is a young man. He will erect
one OF the finest residences in Okla
homa, and as he manufactures most Ce
the lighting in this section, he will
have electricity do everything in his
new home except smoke his cigars
and eat for him.
Colonel Render is a typical Ken
tuckian, and a brilliant one at that.
He has been in Texas and Oklahoma
for a quarter Of a century, has been
school teacher, lawyer and editor but
those professions became too slow
for him and he went into--business.
The Colonel hsa flourished-even as
the green bay tree-and fortune still
smiles for him and with him; he Is
one of the most interesting conversa-
tionalists anywhere and knows lots
of things to talk about.
