SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Health Is Of Primary Importance and
Internal Parasites Should Be
Guarded Against.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
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 seri-
GUS. Fortunately, the trouble is en-
tirely susceptible of practical control,
and the methods of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result in most economical production.
1t is possible, though doubtful, that
the permanent farm flock can be main
tanned in maximum health when
grazed entirely on permanent grass
pastures. A system of division of
grass land into sufficient parts to
allow frequent long periods without
sheep and use Of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially. Such
plan, combined with occasional use
of medicine to prevent too serious in
lection, 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 in
tested 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 live stock.

ISOLATION has made such continuous
and rapid growth that it has been in
corporated with a capital stock Of
$500, and a manager employed to
handle it's affairs.
Receipts during the first five months
of operation amounted to $500, and
recent reports show that members of
the association have on hand more than
six thousand Barred Plymouth Rock
hens and pullets. In the spring Of 1916
they sold 1000 capons on a northern
market.
Before the Farmville association was
formed poultry keeping in that locality
was merely incidental, an unimportant
side line to other farming activities.
Today poultry keeping is one Of the
important industries of that region,

Farmers lose millions of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc-
ing and handling eggs. One-third Of
this loss is preventable, because it
is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed to
become warm enough to begin to in
cubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood ring.
You can save the money now lost from

Of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and

effect on fertile eggs as the hen or

Rules for handling eggs on the

eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farm
ers are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time and

1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.

SALT POISONING OF SWINE
Whenever Used for Pigs It Should
Be Mixed With Feed or Used in
Conditioner.

Salt poisoning of hogs is not of
rare occurrence, according to an ar
ticle by III. @. 81. Kernkamp, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, reprinted from
the Cornell Veterinarian. Pigs, says
Mr.. Kernkamp, should not be given
salt as other farm animals are. When
ever salt is used for pigs it should
be mixed with the feed or used as
one of the ingredients of tonic or
conditioner. 1t should 1ever be placed
IN a container alone where the hogs
have free access to it.

ures' compiled by the bureau Of the
census and made public today.
Excluding South Carolina, where
all laws permitting divorce were re-
nealed in 1879. the three lowest di-
yorce rates in 1916, for which year
returns are now complete, are shown
for. the District of Columbia North
Carolina and New York, where the
rates were 13: 81 and 30 per 10O,-
600 of population respectively. The
highest rates were returned for Ne
yada. Montana and Oregon which
showed 607,323 and 225 respectively.
In all states except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, - North Dakota, South
Dakota and Colorado the divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than in
| 1906. In 81 per cent. Of the cases
in 1916 the divorce was granted to
! the husband while the husbands rate
! in 1906 was 67 per cent.
Desertion is shown by the figures
