condition April | as the best they have
known in many wears, and this good
condition thew generally ascribe 70 the
favorable winter through which the
animals have juts passed me hard
ships resulting from the frequent low
Temperatures were in some measure
Irrigated BY the unusual drvness of
the season, and the animals are only a
bit thin.
Only TIE usual minor ailments were
present du; ~ the sea-, excepting char
bon, whieh was prevalent il some 81
parishes; rot t. anvq extensive degree,
however, aid the losses resulting from
ti,s disease We're iutonsidarable.
Sheep and lambs sustained their Gus
tomary losses from hogs and dogs, much
engagement of those persons
engaged in this industry. At one time
during the wear scabbies was reported
in southwestern Louisiana. PROMPT in
s1ection was made By the State au-
thorities, and about 3 per cent of the
animals were found infected. The di-
sease was promptly stamped ont, an
the losses resulting were small. No
stomach worms were re0orted annoy
ing sheep, and their absence is ex-
claimed on the score of the exceedingly
dry weather throughout the year.
