animals interesting TO degree that
VIII rid the ranges Of the destructive
beasts. The present law also makes
1t possible for animals killed In one
state to be taken into another and
the bounties collected there. This re-
suits In the payment OF bountieS in
states whore they are higher for the
killing of the animals In states where
the bounties are low. This has resulted
in the loss Of much money in Utah
particularly. the sheepmen say. where
the bounties are higher than In some
of the surrounding states.
DISEASES AMONG SHEEP.
The systematic lighting OF disease
among sheep is matter that Will re-
ceive no consideration at the
hands Of the woolgrowers. The
most serious disease now con-
fronting sheep owners is the
lip and ledg disease. known as
necro- bacilosis, DR.. l.. A. D. Melvin
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try. In the department of agriculture,
is expected to attend the convention
that he VIII devote a considerable por-
ton of his address to the consideration
of the subject of sheep diseases.
That the tariff will be considered is
assured. The wool men are of the
opinion that the present tariff law Is
sufficiently low and they Will oppose
any revision which will admit foreign
Wools into this country at q lower rate
than prevails now.
Transportation Of wool and mutton
sheep are source of continual grief
to the flockmasters. they say here. De-
lays in transit they say. are their
principal grievance. causing in their
shipments loss of life among their
consignments and a shrinkage in the
MI ,ale .111a 70 in1tr n
market
Good roads Will also be taken up, a.
the hockma sters declare that there Is
no reason why they should be held liza
BILE for damage done to roads by the
hoofs of the sheep any more so than
that other users of roads should be
held liable for the injuries done by
wagon tires and horses feet. They say
that they depend upon the use OF the
highways for the moving of the 1ocks
from one point to another and that the
highway question Is one of the most
important to them.
THE WOOL WAREHOUSE
Another item which is close to the
interests of the sheepmen is the wool
warehouse. The success with which
the Chicago storage system has met
has convinced n large number of the
flockmasters that an enlargement OF
this plan should take place at the pres
ent convention There Is some opposi-
ton to the storage plan, but the sup
porters OF the system say that they
will be able to convince their opponents
OF the advantages of the plan and con-
vert them to their own ways of think
Ing on the subject. A plan of the wool
buyers to offer good prices for wool
now in order to divert it from the
warehouse Is to be opposed, say the
sheepmen. They declare that the pay
ment of good prices will stop as soon
as the warehouse is put out of bust
ness' by the buyers and 1t Is against
such a possibility that the convention
will fight.
