STOCK
SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
stomach Worm Is Most Widely Ola.
sr'outsd and Serious Trouble With
Average Flock.

prepared by the United States pspart-
ment Of Agriculture)
In any system of continuous farm
sheep raising. the health question is
OF primary importance. This question
Is chiefly one Of internal parasites.
and Of these the stomach worm is the
most widely distributed and the most
serious. Fortunately, the trouble L.
entirely susceptible of practical con-
troll, and the methods Of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result In most economical production.
II Is possible. though doubtful, that the
permanent farm flock can be MAIN
tained In maximum health when
grazed entirely OF permanent grass
pastures. A system Of division Of
grass land into sufficient parts to al
low frequent long periods without
sheep and use of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially. Such a plan,
combined with occasional use of medi-
cine to prevent toe serious infection,
may prove to be practical.
The basis of success In the farm
sheep business is in the frequency Of
changing to pastures which have not
had any opportunity to become infect
ed with stomach worms by older
sheep. These frequent changes are
particularly necessary during the stay
Of the young lambs upon the farm.
The older sheep are less susceptible
to the effects Of the infection, though
danger of their being injured thereby
Is not to be overlooked. The plan of
frequent changes to fresh feed can be
adapted advantageously to the most
economical systems Of using high.
priced land in the rotation of crops
to produce feed and forage for other
kinds Of livestock.
The principles Of flock management
for maximum health and for adoption
to other lines Of farm production are
Illustrated in the following outline OF

GIVE HELP TO FALLEN HORSE


prepared by the United States penar,-
ment of Agriculture.)
When q horse falls In harness he al
most Immediately struggles to regain
his feet. A strong. healthy horse win
not remain down voluntarily, but in
his efforts to rise he may become
frightened. II the driver will give
the right kind Of first aid he can pre-
vent serious injury to the animal.
Held down by the harness the horse
seldom has sufficient freedom to rise
to his feet. though enough to struggle
and injure himself by pounding his
head on the ground. Accordingly the
driver should calm the horse first by
speaking In a reassuring tone and, by
placing his knees upon the animal's
neck just back of the ears, endeayor
to prevent injury from struggling or
from bruising his head. An intelligent
horse quickly learns to place great
confidence In the voice Of a good
driver.
The traces and breeding straps
should be unfastened and the vehicle
rolled back from the fallen animal. II
the horse Is In double hitch, the traces
and yoke strap should be unfastened
and the pole, vehicle, and working
mate moved a short distance away.
An injured horse will then regain his
feet readily II he has suitable footing
In case the ground Is Icy, scatter some
fine sand. sawdust. or straw under
and In front Of him. II nothing of this
kind Is available, spread blanket or
burlap bagging ON the pavement to
give him better footing as he attempts
to stand.
In case the horse needs more help
and Encouragement, and especially II
he lies broadside, roll him on to his
chest, with the hind legs under the
belly. Then work both front legs for
ward until the feet are firmly on the
ground and knees fexed. If after re-
peated efforts and good footing he
continues to fall back upon the ground
there is possibly some injury to the
hind parts, such as a fracture Of the
hip or leg, which should be examined
by a qualified veterinarian.
In all efforts to assist a fallen
horse do not forget that in rising to
his feet he raises the head and fore
