FARM CLUBS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS
K.--HoW TO PROTECT AMI
MAILS FROM DISEASE.
Prepared by United States department of
f-''''' agriculture.l 40 '2


" TOUNG farmers interested In
" live stock should know that
wool growers associations are
using every influence within
their power to encourage and advance
the eradication of sheep scabies Qtch)
and other diseases of live stock. Trans
portation companies have realized that
a decrease of disease in sheep means
an increase in the production of wool
and mutton to be hauled to market.
They also have very wide regard for
United States laws and department
regulations pertaining to interstate
traffic.
Bankers in quarantlned states as
well as in states not under quarantine
where sheep are bought for feeding
purposes refused to make loans on the
security of sheep that were not abso-
lutely free from disease. AS a result
Of this united action on the part of all
interests concerned, progressive wool
growers have been encouraged to lend
their individual assistance in eliminat-
ing disease from their flocks.
The question now presenting itself
Is, Can or will the different states con-
/. tinue to exercise the activity shown
during the campaign of eradication
and promptly suppress the local out
breaks of disease which may from
time to time be expected to occur?
Should Have Organizations.
State and county organizations should
be maintained and a heavy penalty
imposed on any sheep owner who fails
to report promptly to the proper state
officials the existence of disease in his
tiocks. The United States agricultural
department will continue to maintain
a close inspection of all sheep arriving
at public stockyards or market centers
where federal inspection of live stock
is maintained, and when disease is
found the department employees will
report the condition back to the state
in which the sheep originated in order
that the infested and exposed sheep
may be appropriately dipped. -.

experiments as well as by practical ex-

had been eradicated from 1,249,S5O

The work is now practically COM
pleted, there being left in quarantine
only few counties in the northwest
ern corner of Texas, comprising an
area of 1894 square miles. In order
that occasional sporadic cases of cat
tie scabies may be promptly located
and the disease eliminated it is of the
utmost importance that the depart
ment continue to maintain at market
centers very close inspection of all cat
tie for scabies.
Report New Cases.
Any cases of disease found should
be promptly reported to the state live
stock sanitary officials, who will be ex-
pected to promptly place local quaran-
tine on the area from which the dis
ease emanated and, in cooperation
with department employees maintain
ed in the range country, properly treat
all animals which are found to be dis
eased or which may. have been expos

The most generally used and most
satisfactory method of treating cattle
scab consists in dipping the animals in

More About the Watts.

cattle are driven leads up to one end

perience in the field under average
range conditions. it has been demon
strated that the dipping substances per-
mitted by the department in the official
dipping of sheep for scabies will, when
properly applied, eliminate scabies
from the animals dipped. AS before
stated. the main difficulty is in locating
the occasional occurrence of disease in
so large an area as above described and
in which there is great deal of open
range country. This can only be done
by the constant vigilance Of all inter
ests concerned in the raising of sheep
and the wool growing industry.
Cattle Soabes Eradication.
The existence Of scabies in cattle and
its consequent menace to the cattle in
dustry of the United States were
brought to the attention of the federal
government previous to 1904. In order
TO take some action in. the matter there
were issued some rather indefinite de-
partment orders relating to the inter
state movement. of cattle known to be
infected with or exposed to scabies, but
these orders were soon found to be
Intellectual. A few cattle owners in the
range country obeyed them and many
did not. Accordingly, on June l, 1905,
there were placed under quarantine for
cattle scabies 1,260,S44 square miles
This area included the entire states of
Oregon, Washington, Montana, North
Dakota. South Dakota, Wyoming, Ne
braska. Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico.
Oklahoma and Texas.
One would naturally suppose that the
eradication work would first be taken
up In the cattle raising states like New
Mexico and Texas, but the owners of
cattle in these states could not be con-
vinced of the necessity for such action
at that time, claiming that their spring
and winter losses of cattle on the
range and in large pastures were due
to other natural causes and not to
scabies.
Gold Weather AggraVates.
1t was different with the northern
states, where calves cannot be raised
profltably on the range and where cat
tie are therefore brought from the
south for feeding and grazing so as to
utilize the northern grass known to be

cattle and the making of beef and tai

the disease, and as a result of rubbing
and scratching large patches of skin
are denuded of hair and the oily secre-
tons supplied by nature as protec-
ton against frost and exposure to the
elements. So the northern states were
the first to accept department co-opera-
