 The Chickasaw City, like all the other. vessels that will be built at the Chickas saw plant, is fashioned entirely of Birmingham steel, 70 per cent of which was fabricated at the Fairfield plant of the company and 30 per cent at the Ghickasaw plant.

KEEP LARGER SHEEP FLoCKS
High Prices of Wool and Mutton In
duce Western Growers to Increase
Number Of Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
AS a result Of high prices of wool
and mutton and the value Of sheep as
weed and waste utilizers, western irri-
cation farmers are keeping more and
larger focks. AS rule these farm
flocks are of good breeding, many con-
sisting of purebred animals, their own
ers making a speciality of selling pure
bred ram lambs to range-country stock
men, who do not reserve breeding
stock from year to year. Several
projects are now operating wool pools,
the main function of which is to con-
centrate the wool in large quantities
and develop keener competition among
buyers. Combination also favors grad
ing and better classifying of wool and
allows a small producer to realize
greater profits from his sheep-farming
operations.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-10-23
LIVE STOCK NOTES

Lambs feeding in corn should never
be short on roughage.
Salt placed where the sheep may
have it when they want it is essen
tial.
For wintering cows or stock steers,
slower silage seems to be of decided
value.
Stock hogs can be kept thrifty
largely on pastures; however, they
will grow slowly without some grain.
When it is necessary to have the
mare do harvest work the colt should
be weaned, even if he is not more than
three months old.
For wintering breeding ewes alfalfa
and clover hay may be considered the
standard winter feeds in most sec
lions.
Colts should be taught to eat by the
time they are a month old or even
earlier, and should be fed about all
they will eat for six months thereafter.
Hog cholera every year costs the
farmers of America 40 millions of dol
lars, says one authority. Yet it costs
only a couple of dollars at the most
to vaccinate pig.
