was denied and the case has been pend
ing ever since.

WATER REQUIRED BY SHEEP

Experiments have shown that cat
tie given plenty OF water with their
pasture contained more moisture and
less dry matter than did the carcasses
OF cattle given pasture, but no ad
ditional moisture Ii is a generally
accepted principle of feeding that it
costs nero and more to produce
meat as the moisture i creases and
the dry matter iucrea ses. From
this we are able to deduce the fact
that 1t cost less to grow the steers
that have plenty of water, and so
made watery carcasses than 1t did
to grow steers that had no water
other than in their food and pro-
duced dry carcass.
What is true in the cases of steers
would hold equally true with sheep
Sheep given plenty of water will pro
duce mutton more cheaply than will
those deprived OF il. Muscle expan-
sion will be more active in the one
case than in the other, and that is
another reason why mutton produc-
lion would be cheaper.
There is considerable water In any
Of the pasture crops that sheep eat,

the dew that collects on the grass
