CHANGE IN SHEEP INDUSTRY
Two-Thirds Of Animals Now Raised
for Mutton, With Wool as Incl
dent-Merinos Favored.

It IS a remarkable fact that within
the past thirty-hve years the sheep Of
the United States have changed won
derfully. Formerly two-thirds were
little MerinOs and were raised mainly
for wool, with mutton as the incident,
whereas today two-thirds are English
mutton sheep raised for meat, and
with the wool as the incident. There
are many Merinos on the Western
ranges, but most OF them are fully one
third larger than they were in 1882,
when there were plenty of sheep and
not enough good muttons to talk about.
The change was caused by the con-
tinuaI reduction In the price OF wool,
which closed many wool growers out
Of business. Now that the change has
taken place, it is very good for those
who remain or intend to go into the
business.

BLACKLEG IN CALVES
NOW MORE VIRULENT
Vaccination Will Prevent Disease
in Most Cases, but Not All
Serum on Market.

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Az
reultural College, Fort Collins, ColoI
Blackleg In calves seems to have
become more vfrulent OF late. Vac
cination viii prevent the disease in
most cases but not all. Another diff
Guilty lies In the fact that after adj
ministering the vaccine, calves are
not protected against the disease for
a period Of about two weeks, and In
the meantime, If the herd is infected,
many Of them may die. There is now
blackleg serum on the market which
will give immediate protection and
combined with the virus will give
lasting immunity. The serum also has
curative value if given early in the
course of the disease.
The Kansas Agricultural college
makes the statement that 'ta highly
potent blackleg serum can be pro-
duced from the horse" The claim is
also made that the filtered fluid taken
from the diseased tissue of the
shoulder has great immunizing prop
critics
This marks q great advance In the
control Of bIackleg but does not in
the least detract from the Importance
OF absolutely destroying the carcass OF
every animal that dies from blackleg
and adopting all other possible pre-
ventiYe measures.

prepared by the United States Depar,
ment Of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AgTicuiture.)
In proportion to the prices that It
brings, live stock is less expensive to
transport than feedstuffs This fact
makes the production of live stock an
especially desirable industry on those
irrigation projects which are remote
from the large consuming centers. Re
cent experiments by the q. S. depart
ment of agriculture, the results of
which are published as Bulletin 48S,
indicate that the most profitable meth
cd on such land of marketing bulky
products like hay and grain is TO feed
them to hogs. In addition to the in
creased prices obtained in this indirect
way for crops, the manure left upon
the farm enriches the soil.
In comparison with other forms of
live stock industry, hog raising on irri-
gated land has attracted more of those
with comparatively small amount of
initial capital, and a farmer can get
well started in the business in a short
time.
The necessary buildings are COM
paratiVely cheap and it takes less feed
to produce a pound of pork than any
other kind of meat raised on the farm.
The irrigation farmer who has grasped
the significance of these facts and
wishes to enter the business needs in
formation on the value of alfalfa as a
hog pasture, the value OF different
kinds and quantities of grain used to
supplement the alfalfa, and the prac-
ticability of hogging down corn. 1t
was primarily to obtain data on these
points that the departments expert
ments were conducted. The results
are given in detail In the bulletin al
ready mentioned.
From these experiments it appears
that under conditions similar TO those
which prevail on the North Platte irrf-
CATION project, where the work was
carried on, it is much more profitable
to let hogs pasture alfalfa than to cut
the fields and sell the hay; and, sec
ondly, that alfalfa pasture can be
made to yield much more profitable re-
turns in pork when two or three per
cent ration Of grain is fed the hogs as
a supplement. On the North Platte ir-

DIFFERENT RATION FOR SoWS
Rack Containing Alfalfa Should BE
So Placed That Hogs May Have
Free Access to IL.

Brood sows generally suffer from
overlooking rather than from under
feeding An abundance Of fat Is the
worst enemy OF the litter. Sows that
are to raise pigs should be taken away
from the rest of the hogs and be fed
a different ration. Three good rations
are: I'D One part high-grade tankage.
II parts corn; C2) skim milk or butter
milk and corn, using three parts Of
the milk to one part OF corn;
90 wheat and shorts Whichever one
Of these rations is used, a rack con-
tanning alfalfa should be so placed
that the hogs have free access to the
hay at all times. In addition the sows
should be supplied with minerals. It
is good plan to dump the wood and
coal ashes in the lot where the sOws
run. A mixture composed Of a basket
Of charcoal or fine coal, 3 pounds OF
salt, 3 pounds Of air-Slaked lime, and
pounds OF sulphur will give good re-
turns If kept easily available.

CATTLE TO RAISE FOR BEEF

CBy J. L TORAEY.. University OF Wis
Anyone who expects to feed cattle
proftably for the market should not
Try to feed an animal that is not by
conformation and other physical char
acteristics naturally adapted for fat
tening. In short, only good feeders
should be selected.
The good feeder comes from parents
that are good feeders and whose an
cestry is OF good feeding stock, accus-
toned TO consume large amounts OF
feed and deposit it upon their bodies
as meat Of good quality. The impor-
lance Of good breeding upon the quail
tty OF animals kept for a specific puB
pose cannot be overestimated, and
the use Of purebred sires In estab-
fishing good working herds cannot be
overvalued.

used primarily as a cattle feed, but
now If is used widely as a feed for
horses, swine, and sheep.
LESS use has been made Of alfalfa
for sheep, however, than for any other
class OF live stock. Experience and
experiments have shown its wonderful
value as a sheep feed. Its value for
this purpose Will be still greater In the
future than at present.
when alfalfa is pastured great care
should be taken to prevent bloat. II
the alfalfa has become woody or Is
mixed with other grasses the danger
is somewhat lessened. Care should be
taken at all times, however. Before
turning the sheep on alfalfa they
should be filed up On hay, fodder, or
other roughage, and turned out only
when the alfalfa is free from moisture
OF any kind.
'"They should be allowed TO pasture
only short time the first day and the
length OF time should be increased a
little from day to day until the sheep
are accustomed to the feed. Flock
masters have found that It is never
safe to give sheep free access to al
faIfa pasture.
alfalfa hay is adapted to the feed
ing OF sheep because it is a cheap
source of protein and also because II
supplies enough bulk so that sheep
may be fed to advantage on It alone.
'sThe amount OF alfalfa fed viii de-
pend upon the price and the amount
available. When it is cheap and plen-
tful and other roughages are scarce,
alfalfa could compose the entire ration
for the flock. On the other hand, when
hay is scarce and high priced, the "a
ton could be made up partly OF straw,
fodder, and like roughages. Compared
with other roughages alfalfa as
sheep feed has the advantage, espe-
cially where grown in large amounts.
I'm experimental feeding trials, ay-
eraging 100 days each, alfalfa was com
pared with timothy and prairie hay.
The lots fed alfalfa made greater gains
and required less feed per 100 pounds
than did the lots fed timothy and
prairie hay"

If you want dead-white eggs, do not
iqcubate any that are tinted In the

brown egg, then select only that kind.
See that none of them weigh less than
two ounces and are of the perfect
shape which you desire, and all of

mating with these selected hens that
were Matched from hens that lay the
same kind of an egg. Use the same
process of selection the following year,
and in a short period of time you will
find that the number of eggs which
will have to be culled out will grow
gradually less and less. A much larger
percentage of your eggs will grade as

It is advisable to use hens for breed
ing purposes because they lay a larger
egg than the pullets, and they lay
fewer eggs in the fall and winter and
are in much better condition for
breeding purposes in the spring
months than are the pu1lets.
