10000 SHEEP BOUGHT
FOR N. Y. FARMERS
Effort Will He Made to Revive the
sheep Raising Industry.

New York, May &-Ten thousand sheep
have been purchased by Mayor Mitchel's
food supply committee and will be sold
the sheep-growing industry in this State.
1t was announced tonight. The sale will
take place in the New York Central rail-
road yards at Albany. probably June /.
The announcement was prompted. the
committee explained In a statement by
desire to impress on farmers the
necessity for bringing influence to bear
on the State Legislature In favor OF the
passage Of the dog bill already passed
by the Senate.
Because they are allowed to run loose
dogs have killed sheep In such large
numbers that farmers have found 1t un-
profitable to raise Sheep" the statement
said.
In 1870 there we're over 100000
sheep grazing in New York State.
This number constantly decreased, un-
til in 1910. there were about 500, 900.
Last year there were only 400. 900. This
decrease Ia appalling. One of tho
principal causes is the dog problem.
IT the dog bill il not passed it will
be impossible to get the farmers to
take up promptly and vigorously the
question Of restoring the industry in
the State. The matter Is all the moro
important at this time because the
western sheep ranges have been large
ly broken up. and IL we are to fur
nish vol for clothing as well as NUT
ton for food, 1t is necessary to revive
sheep raising in the East on large
scale

LIKE COTTON.SEED MEAL.
Fed to Poultry with Good Results Says
Department OF Agriculture.


Cotton-seed meal in rather limited
amounts has been fed. since last No
vember. with excellent results, to a pen
of 30 pullets on the experiment farm of
the United States department Of agricul.
ture. These pullets have averaged 523
eggs each in 20 weeks, from November 1
to March 20. which is practically equal to
the best egg yield received this year from
any Of the other experimental rations
No bad effects have been noted from this
feed. either In the eggs or in the condi-
ton Of the fowls, and the hens eat this
feed freely. The ration is as follows:
Scratch mixture-One pound cracked
corn. one pound wheat ore pound oats
Dry Aash-Two pounds cotton-seed
meal. two pounds beef scrap. four pounds
bran. five pounds middlings, nine pounds
corn meal
The scratch mixture is fed sparingly
SO that the hens eat about equal parts
of this mixture and of the dry mash.
large per cent. of cotton-seed meal in
dry mash without any beef scrap has
not given satisfactory results. Pullets
fed ration with g per cent. cotton
seed meal averaged only $50 eggs apiece
in one year. considerable per cent. Of
these eggs had discolored yolks, with
green or brownish-green spots. making
them unfit for market. The hens did not
like this mash and had to be forced to
eat 1t by feeding very limited amount
of scratch grains
These results appear to indicate that
cottm-seed meal can be fed at the rate
Of about 10 per cent Of the nash, or five
per cent Of the total ration. with an
equal per cent. Of beef scrap with ex-
cellent results In sections where cot
ton-seed meal is produced. half of the
,beef scrap in the mash apparently can be
replaced by cotton-seed meal with ex-
