Start Flock With Eve Lambs.

For inexperienced sheep raisers
there are several important advant-
ages in purchasing eve lambs in
stead of mature breeding ewes. In
the first place, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, the ewes
of breeding age that are offered for
sale are mostly western ewes with a
long-wool cross, while the eve lambs
coming from the West are mostly
black faced lambs, thus showing n
cross of some of the Down breeds,
which is the kind of blood most farm
ers wish to have in their flocks. By
buying such eve lambs one gets the
Advantage of starting with the first
cross of the type to be used in grad
ing up flock to the mutton type.
| Moreover, good breeding ewes are
selling high. Lower prices are UNI
likely. as the demand is strong and
the available supply is small. With
probable high prices for mutton and
wool in the future the farmer who
understands sheep and will properly
care for them from the start has good
prospects of success.
While breeding stock is selling
high, the eve lambs can be bought
at about IS a head less than breed
ing ewes This is an important point
In starting flock, although I'M

no returns from the flock will be

However, for the beginner in sheep
husbandry, no better plan of obtain
ing experience could be adopted than
in caring for a flock of eve lambs for
a year The experience gained in
wintering eve lambs and managing
the flock throughout the summer sea-
son would be invaluable.
Investment in flock of eve lambs
will give the advantage of the first

An appeal to poultry raisers to in
crease their production of poultry,
meat, and eggs has been issued by the
American Association of Instructors
and Investigators in Poultry Husban-
dry, which met recently at Amherst,
Mass. These poultry experts, in a
resolution, state that there will be an
unprecedented demand for breeding
stock and poultry products, which
can be met most effectively by the
introduction of approved methods
and better stock and management in
each flock.
The association urges particular
ly owners of flocks not to sacrifice
valuable chickens simply because
feed has become abnormally high in
price. They point out that such a
practice will tend TO reduce the sup
ply OF breeding stock and lead to
serious reduction in output.
The members of the association,
who are the experts in poultry hus-
bandry from the several State agri-
cultural colleges and the United
States Department Of Agriculture,

solutely untrue. Ii does not represent
opinion or proposed action of Food

steps that will jeopardize livestock

ducers of meat animals"
There is a known shortage of pork,
and farmers are urged to increase
their breeding herds of swine and
otherwise adapt their farm plans -
bring about greatly increased pro-
duction of hogs. Therefore the Food
Administration is encouraging rath er
than discouraging the production of
