LIVE STOCK
FACTS
PARASITES CAUSE BIG LOSS
Injury From Insects Is Greatest
Among Lambs and Young Sheep
Ways to Prevent Diseases.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Sheep probably suffer more than any
other kind of live stock from para
sites. They are practically immune
to tuberculosis, which is one Of the
serious ailments of cattle and swine,
and among sheep there is nothing
comparable to the devastating out
breaks of cholera among swine. Sheep
have comparatively few bacterial
diseases. Nevertheless, there is a
steady loss of sheep in all parts OF
the country and this loss is mostly
due to parasites.
It is the sheep owners business to
prevent disease rather than to attempt
to cure it after 1t has made it's ap-
pearance. While there are special
treatments for the various diseases
which makes it advisable to call a
competent veterinarian, there are q
number of ways to prevent diseases
caused by parasites. Among these
pasture rotation, use of forage crops,
feeding from racks or board floors,
draining or filling swamps, and pre-
venting wandering dogs from getting
into the flock. Permanent pastures
perpetuate parasites, it is stated. The
eggs of internal parasites pass from
the animals in the manure and thus
the pastures become infested, The
proper disposal of the manure will
aid in preventing this.
Damage from parasites is greatest,
as rule, among lambs and young
sheep. Hence, it is important to pay
special attention to the care and
handling of lambs and yearlings.
Prompt action to ascertain the cause
when sheep become unthrifty will
often prevent serious loss.
Parasites Of sheep are divided into
two general groups, external and in
ternal. Among the former, lice, sheep
ticks, and scab mites are the most
common. One application of sodium
f1ouride in the form of a powder
rubbed into the skin will kill biting
lice, but not sucking lice. Both kinds

A 900-pound COW ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds of silage a day, and
a 1,200-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yearlings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
% to 80 pounds for each 1000 pounds
live weight.
1t happens, sometimes, that silO
is not wholly filled, because there is
not enough corn planted for silage,
and there are not enough of other
crops make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be OBJ
tanned from an acre of corn varies
from 4 to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land is 8 tons per acre.
Hence for a Cotton silo 1t might be
well to plant or 10 acres Of corn.
It is by all means best to lay out
land enough in silage crops to fill the
silo to the very top; and if there ID
any doubt about how much will be
needed, to allow a margin Of safety,
remembering that the season may cut
down the yield 0f. this as well as Of
other crops. On the other hand, If
there is too much corn or Sorghum
to go into the silo, the excess can be
cut as dry fodder, and other crops
can be made into hay.
Two bulletins issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are useful in this
connection; one is Farmers Bulletin
1856, Homemade Snos; and the other
Is Farmers Bulletin 57s, The Making
and Feeding Of Silage.

are destroyed by dipping the sheep.
For lice and sheep ticks a number of
dips are recommended in the bulle-
tin, including coal tar creosote, cresol,
and nicOtin, or nicotin and sulphur.
For scab mites the official dips are
lime-sulphur and nicotin-sulphur dips.
Arsenical dips are not well suited to
sheep dipping. All places which have
been occupied by lousy sheep should
be regarded as dangerous from this
standpoint for a period of three weeks;
if occupied by ticky sheep, as dan
gerous for two months; if occupied
by scabby sheep, as dangerous for a
month or two in the case of pastures,
and a year or more in the case of
buildings. Quarantine measures are
essential in eradicating scab.
The most common internal parasites
Of sheep include tapeworms, flukes,
roundworms, and a few other forms
such as maggots causing grub in the
head, the tongue-wOrm and the one
celled protozoa. One of the most COM
mon of these is the grub, infestation
with which can be largely prevented
by smearing the nose of the sheep
with a preparation made Of equal
parts of tar and grease, or tar and
fish oil. Other important internal par
asites discussed in the bulletin are
tapeworms, the gid parasites, hydatid,
liver flukes, stomach worms, nodular
worms, hOokwOrms, and lungworms.
OF these, certain tapeworms are fair
ly common over the entire UnIt,d
States; one tapeworm occurs only in
the West; gid is most prevalent in
Montana; liver flukes are most COM
mon in the Gulf states and the Pacific
Coast states stomach worms and lung
worms take a heavy toll in sheen in
almost every state in the Union. and
nodular worms and hoOkworms are
common in the South and East.
