Science and Health
There are 10000 fewer deaths
every year in this country than there
would be but for the progress of
science in the last thirty-five years,
said Frederick l.. Hoffman of Newark,
n. j., statistician of the Prudential
Insurance Company.
Combining figures of mortality in
New Orleans, New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, Mr. Hoffman showed
that the death rate in the first quarter
of the past century, which was twenty
eight per 100, decreased in the last
quarter Of a century to nineteen. He
showed that smallpox, Asiastic
cholera and yellow fever practically
have been eliminated; scarlet fever has
been reduced to one-third the former
rate typhoid fever and typhus to
about one-third. There has also been
a considerable reduction in diseases OF
the stomach and intestines.
There has been an increase, how
ever, in the mortality from Bright
disease, heart disease and cancer. The
last named has increased from forty
six per 100000 during the quarter
century ending 1888 to seventy-two
during the quarter century ending

The feeding Of breeding ewes Is an
operation that find 10 not thoroughly
understood by many farmers, especially
those who have Just few sheep as q

I see fiocks too often that are all
running together, the ewes that are
expected to raise lambs for the market
and to supply the future breeding
ewes. and the others that are being
prepared for the market. all feeding
upon the same kind and quantity Of
food. and running together.
This practice I have found to be a
very bad one. as the breeding ewes. II
you intend to get the best results. re-
Quire entirely different feeding.
Ewes that are carrying young lambs
should be fed on feed that will tend to
develop the young as well as nourish
the mother, while those intended for
the market should be fed more on fat
tening foods.
1t is a mistake to overfeed ewes
with lambs, as 1t is underfeed.
Also it is not best to allow the breed
ing ewes to run with the rest of the
flock. as they are too often worried
with the others.
There is another point in the han
ding of sheep that is, think. too often
neglected, which may to some who
have never tried it seem rather silly,
and that is to never allow them to run
on the same pasture long at a time.
They do much better when they are
changed from one pasture to another
very often.
Sheep like fresh short bite and
who they are changed from one pas
ture to another every little while they
have Just the kind of grazing they
want. This is especially valuable with
breeding ewes.
As to water for the sheep. Provide
the very best water that is to be had,
never allowing them to drink from
stAnt pools. which often contain
Al Kinds Of disease germs. In fact.
when they can possibly do otherwise
they will not drink such stun.
