Time to Start Sheep Raising.

Late summer or early fall is the
most favorable time to make a start
in sheep raising Ewes may be pro-
cured more readily at this time, and
when purchased may be kept on
meadows, grain stubble fields, or late
soWn forage crops to get them in good
condition for breeding
Experience with the ewes through
fail and winter will also make be-
ginner more capable of attending to
them at lambing time 1t is seldom
possible to buy any considerable num-
Der of bred ewes at reasonable prices.
The inexperienced sheep raiser
should begin with grade ewes Of the
best class available and a purebred
ram. The raising of purebred stock
and the selling of breeding rams can
best be undertaken by persons eXper>
enced in sheep raising.

Don't Wait on Hog Cholera.

Don't take Il chance with a sick hog.
Act quickly. Get Il veterinarian or a
trained man immediately. Only prompt
action will stop hOg-cholera losses.
Every hog saved will help to win the
war.
The time for argument about anti
hog-cholera serum is past, declare
specialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Figures prove
that when administered efficiently and
in time, hog-chOlera serum will keep
We'll hogs from taking the disease.
Quick action is imperative to get
serum and a trained operator to treat
the hogs.

CATTLE AFTER WAR

The United States at present
probably has more purebred
cattle Of beef and dairy types
than is possessed by any other
nation or combination of ma
tons, according to the depart
ment of agriculture. At the
close Of the war European cOun-
tries will require the different
types Of purebred animals to re-
build their depleted herds.
Study Of present and future
world conditions leads to the
conclusion that continental Eu-
rope will bid high for the dairy
type, while Russia will require
all types, especially the beef
types. 1t seems certain that inn
porting countries will require
cattle free from disease.
Disease eradication in our cat
tie is therefore a matter of the
highest Importance not only for
the benefit of our own cOnSum-
erS but to facilitate after-the-
war trade.
