AVOID CATTLE LOSSES

Those engaged in the raising of cat
tie, which is by far the most profitable
industry in This state, report an alarm
ing loss. occasioned by abortion. A
writer of acknowledged ability upon
this subject states that cattle losses
from this cause may be reduced to little
or no loss at all by the frequent chang
ing of head or heads of the herd.
Mr.. B. A. Cummins, vice president
of the First National Bank of Pierre,
being very largely interested in the sue
cess Of those engaged in the business
of raising cattle, has issued a circular,
aud those who give the matter attention
are certain to profit thereby.
MI. Cummins says:
There is a rather widespread preva-
lence of infectious abortion in cattle in
this state at the present time and we
believe that immediate steps should be
taken for its eradication and control.
There has been a considerable amount
of ergot on grass and hay during the
past season and it may be that some of
the loss is attributable to this cause
CDR. G. G. Llppof the veterinary de-
partment of the. South Dakota State
college at Brookings has issued a cir
cular in regard to this trouble which
we consider very valuable. We have
obtained a large number of copies of
same and are sending one to each of
our customers and are also writing the
other banks in this part of the state,
suggesting that they follow the same
course, fer we believe from the reports
that have been coming TO us that the
disease is Of such magnitude that only
prompt and energetic action on the part
Of the stockmen of this state will pre-
vent a very large loss from this trouble.
1--WE suggest that you take immed-
late steps to treat your stock if you
have any of this trouble and also that
you talk with your %neigbbors about it.
1t means work but results will amply
repay you.
DIR. Lipp will gladly answer any
questions if you write him, and assist
you in any way possible"
Very truly yours,

Vice President.
