Danger in Overlooking During
First T,Uo Weeks of Lambs Life

The first few weeks is. as a rule.
the most critical period in the life
OF any of our farm animals. If an
animal Is we'll nourished and cared
for from birth, growth is rapid, the
right start Is made and 1t will in all
probability develop into q mature an
tmal that will return q maximum
profit to the owner. On the other
hand. II the animal is poorly nour-
ished In early life. it becomes stunt
ed and is handicapped for life. An.
other reason for paying particular at.
tention to the feeding Of young stock
is the fact that gains in flesh made
during the first few weeks or months
are made at less cost than in later
life.
The proper nourishment of the
young lamb during the first two
weeks of its life depends upon proper
care and feeding Of the eve. One of
the dangers at this time is over
feeding. Excessive feeding stimulates
too great a milk flow. which causes
digestive troubles In the lamb or
caked udder in the eve.
Hay Need Not BE Limited.
An eve will not eat too much hay
and this need not be limited, but II
is better 10 give no grain until the
lamb can take all the milk. Hay.
clover or alfalfa is almost a necessity
and the farmer who tries to raise
early lambs without one of these
hays had better 60 out of the sheen
business. Timothy is bad for both
eve and lamb. Roots or mangles in
addition to hay make an excellent
feed at this time as they are very
mild and cooling and furnish a ned
ed succulence.
/ After the lamb is taking all the
milk. the eve should be we'll fed.
About one and one-half pounds Of
grain and three pounds of clover or
alfalfa hay with two or three pounds
Of roots or silage makes a full feed.
This ration should be continued until
the flock is turned out to grass, as q
good milk flow is essential to the

should BE Encouraged to Eat.
When about IL to II days old the
lambs will begin nibbling at hay or
grain. As gains may be made at
very little cost at this time the lambs
should be encouraged to take all the
hay and grain they will eat, besides
the daily milk from their mothers.
This may be done by means Of 4

ing nosed over and dampened by the

After the flock is turned out on

more hay or grain. However. the
lambs should receive their normal
allowance Of grain fed in the creep,
- they will make good gains when
fed in addition to pasture.
It Il advisable to wean the lambs
at the age Of four and half months.
The method is simple: merely take
the lambs away and do not let them
see the ewes for two or three days.
Continue with the same rations after
weaving. that is, two parts of ground
or chopped oats and one part Of
wheat bran. Feed twice q day about
one-half pound day per lamb and

TREASURE STATE farm AND LIVESTOCK

all business and family living ex
penses of the year are paid and ate,
he has set aside IN amount equal t
six per cent on his capital invested
The more successful Gallatin vale,
farmers receive incomes that com.
pare very favorably with those of the
more successful lawyers, doctors and
professional men. Thus we find that
one out Of every two farmers has
$1,000 clear money to show for hia
labor at the end Of the year, one IN
seven makes over $4,000 and one
in sixteen makes over $1,000. The
largest labor income Of any OF the
farmers included In the survey was
$4.413. It should be also borne In
mind that the survey was conducted
when farm produced were compare
lively low in price.
Moro Machines Required
The results Of the survey show
that the following factors have an
important bearing on the success or
failure Of farm business:
The amount and distribution OF
capital are important factors. Labor
incomes are found to increase as ca
pital increases. One reason for poor
returns Is that the larger percentage
Of the total capital Is tied up In real
estate. At least 0ne-fifth should be
used in working capital. Professor
Currier states that after q careful
study of the survey he is convinced
that II the amount Of equipment in
the shape Of machinery and livestock
on farms in this region were doubled
1t would at least double the labor in
come.
Diversified farming pays the best.
As the number of important sources
of income increases. the labor income
correspondingly increases. A farm
with only one or two important en-
terprises is at serious disadvantage
in the matter of utilizing labor all
through the year and In using the by
products of the farm that would
otherwise be wasted.
Two factors or combinations of
factors that are probably of greatest
importance as affecting labor in
comes in the Gallatin valley are (1)
a sufficient acreage of crops of good
quality and (2) an adequate amount
and quality of livestock. The sur
vey shows that farms which are pro-
perry organized so far as these main
factors are concerned stand little
chance for failure. The most profit
able acreage was found to be between
200 and 400 acres. The most profit
able acreage was found to be between
200 and 400 acres. The most favor
able crop and stock relations seem to
be reached on farms that have stock
enough to use all cheap feeds and
waste products but not so much as
to require any considerable proper
ton of their feed to consist Of prod
ucts that have a high market value.
Seven farms organized in this man
her had an average labor income of
$3.50 as compared with 1855 as
the average labor income of that re-
gion. Does this look as though farm
ing were much of game of chance
when farms are properly organized?

cry and Livestock.

That the application of sound
business principles to the manage
ment of the farm will bring as large
financial returns as in any other pro-
fession or business is cOnclusiyely
proven. A bulletin entitled profits
in Farming on Irrigated Areas" is a
survey of 1876 farms in the Gallatin
valley. The survey was conducted in
1912 by Prof. E. L. Currier. who
states that its object was to find the
more profitable farms and by careful
study determine in what respects
they differ from other farms in the
region that have been less success
full; in other words to determine the
factors that make for successful farm
operation.
Labor income
Labor Income" is used as the
measure of success of failure in farm
management. Professor Currier de-
fines Labor income as what the
farmer has left after paying all farm
expenses and setting aside an amount
sufficient to pay six per cent inter-
est on the capital invested. This. in
addition to the use of a dwelling and
to such products as the farmer fur
nishes toward the family living. rep
resents what the farmer actually re-
ceives for his labor. The survey
shows the average labor income re-
ceived by the Gallatin valley farmer
to be 1865. This at first may seem
small but can the average man in
other professions boast of having
more than 1855 in his pocket after

By w. j. BUTLER
State Veterinary Surgeon

1t has long been realized by sani-
tary officials that complete eradica-
ton of tuberculosis in cattle or for
that matter any infectious contagious
disease, would require concerted eff
fort. Montana was the first state to
require the testing of all dairy cat
tie. Later the Unitel States Bureau
of Animal Industry, in cooperation
with the sanitary authorities Of the
various states, adopted what is
known as 1.-THE Accredited Herd
Plan" This requires the owner OF
cattle to keep his animals segregat-
ed. and to sign an agreement to abide
by uniform rules and regulations
drawn up by the United States Blu
reau of Animal Industry and the Uni
ted States Live Stock Sanitary Asso-
citation. Before herd Of cattle may
be placed on the accredited list they
must successfully pass three semi-an-
nual or two annual tuberculin tests.
In tuberculosis eradication work
livestock sanitary officials early real
lied that If one animal were missed.
and if this animal happened to be a
spreader of tuberculosis. that their
work in that district was not wholly
effective and that clean herds might
become affected by reason of this one
animal being missed. In many in
stances this animal was in herd of
cattle that was not tested by reason
of them not being dairy cattle. Ow-
ing to natural conditions. dry dairy
cattle are oftentimes turned out on
the range or forest reserve and may
thus come in close contact with a

Blackleg, according to reliable sta

This is too great an annual loss
