In the fall of 1887, q neighboring

view to obtaining a cheap herd bull.
Mr.. Tomson purchased this COW at
slightly above the prevailing prices
for grade females and in this selec-
ton the foundation of one Of the
best-known Shorthorn herds in the
middle West was laid. Her next calf,
a heifer, was of such attractive type
and quality that T. X. Tomson and
his sons definitely decided to purchase

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Sheep owners should continue for
some years to come to dip their fiocks
at least once a year as a precaution
against sheep scab, according to spe-
cialists in the department. During
the past ten years systematic efforts
to eradicate this disease have been so
successful that there is a tendency on
the part of many flock masters to be-
lieve that all danger of loss from this
cause is at an end. This, however,
in the opinion of the department, is
not the case. 1t is true that the eco
nomic losses from the disease at the
present time are insignificant, but
scab has not been completely eradi-
Gated, and it is necessary for the pro-
lection of the industry that dipping
be continued for some time to come.
Common scab was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep indus
try in the United States. 1t is, how
ever, easily controlled by regular dip
ping in lime sulphur or nicotine and
sulphur solutions. These are the only
preparations recognized by the bureau
of animal industry for official dipping.
The dipping solutions are not difficult
to handle, and every sheep owner is
urged to make certain by their use
that sheep scab does not gain foot
hold in his flock. In the cost Of dip
ping, labor, fuel and the necessary
materials are the principal items.
These vary with different localities,
but in the large sheep-growing Sec
tions of the West it has been ctlcu-
lated that sheep may be dipped for
from 2 to 31s cents per head.
Do Work Thoroughly.
Two dippings. from 10 to IA days
apart, are necessary in order to in
sure the complete destruction of all
the mites which cause the disease.
The first dipping should kill all those
that are Matched but may not destroy
the eggs that have been laid In the
wool. These hatch in about ten days,
and the mites which result will sue
cumb to the second dipping. In this
connection a new publication of the
department, Farmers Bulletin 713,
points out that it is q loss of time and
money to dip sheep unless the work
is done properly, and any attempt to
economic time, labor, or money by

much given to experimenting. Pos
sibly the results would have been bet
ter IL they had, but the point is that
only such methods were used as could
be readily applied on any farm, by
any average man.
Best Of All Grasses.
In Kansas. particularly in the sec
tions more or less broken, the native
prairie grass, largely blue stem. is
prevalent and is regarded as the best
Of all grasses in season. 1t has been
the practice to feed more or less tame
hay in these native pastures where
the grass had become thin and in this
way the seed of the several tame va
rieties was scattered and many thin
spots were set to tame grass. blue
grass naturally predominating. This
plan resulted in frightening out the
pasture season, for prairie grass is

using the dip in weaker proportions
than recommended, or by hurrying the
sheep through the bath, or by failing
to dip all Of the flock, may result in
rendering the whole operation useless.
1t also has been determined by &C.
tual experience that dips deteriorate
with use. After a number Of sheep
have passed through the vat. the &C.
tive principle falls below the standard
required for effective work. In order
to meet this situation. chemical-test-
ing outfits have been designed which
can be used at the vat to determine
the percentage of the active principle
in the dip at any given time. In the
bulletin already mentioned specific in
structions are given for the prepare
ton of both lime sulphur and nice
tine and sulphur dips. Large sheep
owners will find 1t advantageous to
build and maintain their own perma-
ent watts. Farmers and others who
have only a few head Of sheep may
employ the portable galvanized-iron
dipping watts known as hog watts, or
dipping bags made of canvas. In ad-
dition, means must be provided for
heating the baths, as the temperature
of the solution is an important factor
in its efficiency. Both the lime sui
phur and the nicotine and sulphur
dips should have a temperature OF
from 100 to los degrees F. II the
bath is hotter than this the sheep
may be injured. and IL it is colder
the grease in the wool will retard its
action and the mites may not be de-
stroyed. 1t is desirable. therefore,
that thermometers be used to ascer
tain the actual temperature of the
baths and that this be not left to

son Brothers are Of the opinion now
that they would have made large prof.
its had they invested several thou
sand dollars in fashionably bred
females for breeding purposes earlier
in their operations They did acquire
them eventually, but they feel that
they lost considerable time by not
launching out earlier. They recog-
nize, however. that the best successes
in cattle breeding are made by men
who grow with the business from q
small beginning and learn each step
by actual experience.
Basis Of improvement.
During these years constant atten-
ton has been paid to farming meth
DDS. The use of tame grasses and
barnyard manure is the basis of their
soil improvement. The profits from
year to year we're invested in land
and such improvements as were neces-
sary. The original holdings of 255
acres have increased to LOO acres,
and the improvements have been
greatly enlarged and modernized. The
farms have long since been nominally
free from weeds. Alfalfa, blue grass
clover and timothy now abound in
their stead. The soil has steadily in
creased in producing power.
The Shorthorn herd numbers over
200 head of the richest lines of breed
ing and is recognized among beef cat
tie authorities as one Of the best in
dividual herds in the entire country.
This is the direct result Of careful,
patient, intelligent management and
not any considerable expenditure of
money.
While the breeding herd is of the
beef type, the good milking females
are given preference, for experience
has shown that they are usually more
reliable and useful producers. 1t lis
generally regarded that hogs should
be a part of the farms live stock. The
Tomson farms are not exactly an ex-
ception, for a few are raised each
year, but the number is small and ex,
perience does not encourage them to
increase the number. The farms are
devoted almost wholly to Shorthorns,
for it has been observed that IL there
is room for more stock, that more
Shorthorns best fit into the working
plan.
On one Of the Tomson farms. the
main buildings are in the center Of q
