LOSSES IN LAMBS AGAIN CAUSES ACTIVITY
AMONG THE FEEDERS TO LEARN THE CAIISE

ouite a number of the sheep
feeders of this part of the valley
usre present at the meeting at City
hall last Saturday afternoon which
was called to hear DR.. Glover of the
state Agricultural college. DR..
Glover stated that he was more firm
than ever in his opinion that the
losses being had among the lambs
are caused from the manner of feed
ing and not from poison in the feed.
The same situation seems to exist
this fall as during the preceding feed
ing season, namely: lambs are dying
under different feeding conditions
and post mortems fail to disclose any
signs of poison.
Last year the experiments carried
on failed to develop any facts which
would point to any definite cause for
the losses or any course of preven-
ton This year it is proposed to
lake larger bands of lambs and, un-
der supervision of the state college,
use certain plans of feeding and keep
an accurate record of results. The
first experiment will be conducted
at once, using lambs volunteered by
Gates & Schaff Later on, when the
finances of the association will per-
nit other plans suggested by DR..
Glover may be carried out in expert
ment in the hope that prevention of

OIL DRILLERS CEASE OPER-
ATIONS; LEAVE The FIELD

i Automatically reported to the Jour
nal is the news of the abandonment
of the Mosca oil field by the Texas
Oil drillers, NJ. E. Layne and associ-
ates.
This week the company has or
dered the pulling up of pipes driven
and the dismantling of their machin-
cry, to be moved elsewhere
The operations of the drillers is
summed up as follows: depth reached
1855 feet; where drilled through 80
feet of rock and drill rod was broken
AT 800 feet struck little oil. and
little gas in several stratas; from
l,4OO feet to /, 800 feet, no gas. from
l,9OO feet on, hot water and no gas.
After breaking the drill rod it was
found impossible to pull up the rod
and the last so feet of pipe
The company did not find con-
ditions favorable enough to justify
starting another hole and have an
nounced their abandonment of the
field.
The great hopes of the residents of
the Valley in the successful culmin-
alton of the project ere completely
shattered by the failure of Mr..
Layne to discover oil and gas
is commercial quantities. The
splendidly equipped Texas company
would assuredly not give up If indi-
cations were present that oil could be
found, and the fortunes that have
been invested to exploit the field have
finally convinced the majority of the
people that the oil does not exist.

the losses in feeding lambs on pea
in this valley may be definitely de-
termined.
DR.. Glover noted in his visit to the
dliferent fields in this vicinity that in
some places there were quantities of
potatoes which had been left on the
ground. These, he said, contained
considerable poison and should not
be fed to animals. He also warned
against feeding where there was
much horsetail grass or iointed
grass
A very interesting account of the
work done by the college in experi-
menting and treating the disease
among cattle known as big brisket
was given by DR.. Glover in which
he said that it had been very def
initely determined that big brisket
is caused by ranging stock in the
high attitudes. Big brisket is a
dropsical condition promoted by the
effect of high altitude upon the
heart and the speaker said that stock
affected almost invariably recovered
were taken lower AS a prevent
i've measure against this disease.
breeders should use native high al
t1tude bulls. While imported low al
titude stock may not become affected
with big brisket their offspring are
very likely to have it.

public yesterday when his counsel. Mar

in the second trial. regulating his ,es-
timony that on the night of June ~.
1912. Lieut.. Becker was talking to Jack
Rose and another man at Seventh ave-
nue. and 12ith street. This testimony
was such strong corroboration of Roses
story that he met Becker on the night
n question to complete plans for the
ASA ssination of Herman Rosenthal thai
Il went far toward convicting Becker
n second time.
Until yesterday the Becker counsel
had declined TO make known the exact
nature Of the affidavit of reputation. II
was strongly limited tina the affidavit
had destroyed the case against Becker
that II contained sensational charges and
that II was an absolute abjurgation of
the testimony given by the negro last
May.
IN the opinion OF lawyers who ex-
anime the document at the Criminal
Courts Building it is strong largely by
implication. Much more is implied than
10 stated outright. II supports Becker's
case in a negative fashion.
