ALMOST A LOST AIT.

knowledge Of sheep husbandry Is
indeed almost azlost art in the East.
Few Of the young farmers knnWeNen
the first principles Of sheep-raising.
Legislators Gre working for a. better
dog law, and prices for: sheep pro-
ducts promise to be good.~ Ccnse-
.quently men are again turning to the
business. but they are handicapped by
lack of knowledge and therein lies
serious danger. lot every man can
make a success with sheep. for in
many respects they are the most diff
cult farm animal to care for: The
man OF today thinks he can get=a few
sheep as q side line and they will
practically care for themselves. Such
a man is doomed to- disappointment.
No man should take up sheep without
making a careful study of the whole
business and determining at the out
set rto<gfve his flock time and care.
Perhaps the first question to ask your
self is not What will they a me?''
but do / like sheep2"I For If you
don't like them they will never pay
anything. Sheep are particularly
sensitive to irritation and abuse. One
of the best sheepman in the state
knows every individual in his large
flock and can tell you the history of
each of his animals.-He loves them.

s~HEEP.RAISING INDUSTRY.

1t is now time for the livestock
farmer to make sheep-raising one of
his regular lines of production. To
the man who will study and under
stand the business, s~heep-raising is
fully as safe and attractive as the
raising of cattle, horses, or hogs.
Assured meat value of the future.
the need of greater economy in the
use of farm labor, and the full utiliza-
ton of pastures. place sheep raising
in an entirely new light. Before 1914
this statement would not have been
justifiable.
Because of statistical facts which
show a decline in popularity in Sheep
raising in Eastern States, some au-
thorities have questioned the safety
of raising sheep. Such statistical de-
auctions are misleading, because no
where in the United States has there
been a decline in a well-established
sheep industry based on the produc-
ton of both meat and wool.
The farm fiocks that have disap-
peared were raised almost entirely
for wool production. These sheep
had little in common with the kind of
sheep that are now being raised in
America.
In starting the business of sheep
raising, it is best to work quickly into
a flock Of about 100 ewes T good
is to have a eve for each
two acres of the farm.1Exchange.

Worms do not cause cholera, nor
will freedom from them give hogs the
mower to resist active hog cholera IN
fection: but the hogs will make bet

and healthy will possibly be more
likely to resist weakened cholera

worms. Copperas, ashes and turpen7

Rut after all these things and many
others have been done, occasional OUT

The man with a valuable breeding
herd. especially if they be pure-bred,
should probably keep the entire nero
immune by the use of a~nt1-cholera
serum. His safest plan is possibly TO
treat all breeding stock by the double
method-virus and serum. Then we
advise treating all sucking pigs with
serum alone by the time they are SIX
to eight weeks old. to be followed py
the double treatment before or by the
time thew are four mOtnhs OLD.
GAA4O OANJ e
The man who is raising hogs for
market has open to him two methods-
He NAV treat all just as suggested for
the breeder of ~pure-bred hogs, or II
situated so infection is not likely TO
occur and provided he is careful to
exercise the precautions ADVISED
above. he may keep a sharp LOOKOUT
and only use the serum in case cholera
appears in the herd or if the herd of
some neighbor within a half mile or q
mile.
There is no longer any doubt but
good serum. which may now be had,
will when properly used prevent seri-
Gus losses from hog cholera. The
South especially should not take I'M
due risk of loss from cholera this

the profits which tae hogs will bring.

FOOD AN FEED FIRST.
SAYS SECRETARY HOUSTON.

The Importance to the Nation of a
generously adequate food supply for
the coming year cannot be over-em-
phasized In view of the economic
problems which may arise as a result
of the entrance Of the United s*ates
into the war. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements.
Many millions of people across the
seas, as well az our own people. must
rely in large part upon the products
of u fields and RACES. This situa-
ton will continue to exist even
though hostilities should end unex-
pectedly soon, since European produc-
ton cannot be restored Immediately
to its normal basis. Recognition of
the fact that the world at large, as
well as u own consumers, must rely
more strongly on American farmers
this year than ever before should en-
courage them to strive to the utmost
to meet these urgent needs.-Secretary
of Agriculture David F. Houston.

THE SLANT OF a HEN,S TAIL


The stickIers after fancy exhibition

slant of a chickens tail and exact
eeatheflng according 10 a haar-spliting
standard the chief end in the life OF
the bird, are sometimes heard arging
that continued breeding OF the double

Undoubtedly this is 30 If the breed

But may I ask what breeders

And let me cite an example where the

that period, still throws" a large por-

only six months old. last fall weighed
eight pounds. and at that age had al

AS additional evidence allow me to
cite my own Barred Rock flock of
similar berd-to-lay breeding. The ma
jority) of my present breeding flock OF
two and three-year-old hens in lay
ing condition now weigh from eight
to nine pounds each, and their aver
age egg record is but slightly below
200 in their pullet year. The grand
mother of these hens was not trap

PROTECT THE HOG i
CROP FROM CHOLETA,

With hogs sellin for garound is
cents a pound live weight. it is highly
important that the crop be saved, FROM
cholera. With legume grazing crops,
like soy beans and velvet beans grown
with the corn, there is no question
about the growing of hogs being pro-
6table. 1t is. therefore, doubly inn
pOrtant, because we need the meat
supply and the profits, that this years
crop of hogs be protected from
cholera.
Most outbreaks of cholera could be
prevented by wise control and sani-
tary measures. The hogs should not
be permitted to run at large or to
run where the danger of infection is
great. The men on the farm should
keep away from farms where cholera
exists. and every hog that dies of a
disease in any way remotely resem-
bling cholera should be burned. 1t is
possible to bury such a hog so it will
not cause trouble. but few are willing
to go tc the trouble necessary to do
so. IF no part of the hog is closer
than two and a half or three feet of
the surface and the carca is well COW
cred with lime there is practically no
danger. 1t is little if any more
trouble, however, to burn a hog if it
is done right and there is less danger
of spreading infection. Every mem
Der of a neighborhood, whether chol-
era exists or not, should regard him
self as in duty bound to prevent car
eases Of dead animals being hauled
out into the woods Or thrown into
streams. Dogs and buzzards may
easily carry infection from the car
cass of a hog dead of cholera to a
nearby farm. If hogs are brought to
the arm it is a measure of safety,
the trouble of which is amply justified,
to keep such hogs under quarantine
or by themselves for 80 days.
We do not think that a hog, though
he be Eve so healthy, can usually re-
sist yirulent or active hog cholera in
lection; but hog cholera infection is
less likely to remain alive and capable
of causing disease around clean hog
lots where vigorous. healthy hogs are
kept. The wallOwing vat, or a con-
crete wallow frequently filled with
fresh water and on the top of which
crude oil is sometimes placed, is an
excellent investment on a farm where
hogs are kept, but a mudho1e is a
filthy Mace of little value to the hogs
