The mills are running much nearer
20 full capacity than has generally
been known. In March, consump-
tion was 70,4O0,0OO pounds, as com
pared with 63,200,00O in February,
and 47,200,000 pounds in March a
year ago. Total consumption in jan
uary, February and March for the
last four years was: 1919, 100000
900 pounds; 1920, O4,30O, 900;
1921, 113, 100000, and 1922, 1884,
100000 pounds.
From the growers standpoint, it
is vitally important to remember that
the world production of wool in 1921
was 100000 pounds short of the
1909-13 production. Also it is well
to remember that this years Ar
gentine wool clip, which will be
ready for delivery during September
and October, will be, according to
reliable reports, the smallest in 80
years"

Millions Lost Each Year
Through Animal Diseases

Every year the people of the Uni
ted States lose over 5000, 100000 dir
ectly (and no one knows how much
Indirectly through diseases of farm
animals. This is a large toll when
divided on per capita basis, and
when it comes home to the farmer
who finds a valuable animal dead in
the barn, or an epidemic spreading
ruin into bis herd, the loss is some
times disastrous. The most regret
table feature of the case is that prob
ably three-fourths of the loss could
be prevented
Five Causes OF Disease
There are five principal causes of
disease and death of farm animals
contagious troubles, sporadic disease,
parasitic troubles, accidents and neg
lect. Contagious diseases can be
greatly diminished. if farmers will
learn to cooperate with the United
States department of agriculture and
the various state livestock and sani-
tary authorities, who are striving to
maintain animal health. Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion of the pres
ence of contagious disease, and they
should observe carefully all regula-
tiOns in regard to quarantine, sani-
tation, and care of animals, as pro-
lection against contagion
tuberculosis is one of the worst
scOurges among animals and thrives
best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated sta
bles. 1t is less common among ami |
mails running at large. Light, dry,
well-ventilated stables and dry, clean
barnyards or paddocks, are essential
to the health of farm animals One
valuable point in combating contag-
ious diseases, especially tuberculosis, |
is to start the herd with animals that |
not only are free from disease, but |
that of stock that is not predisposed |
to disease. Official tests of herds
are made on request and through CO.
operation of the department of agri-
culture with livestock sanitary off,
cials Purchase of breeding stock
from these herds is wise precaution.
Care should also be taken to obtain
stock adapted to climatic and local

Sporadic and accidental diseases,
such as disorders of the digestive and
tracts, can be avoided
argely by proper handling and feed
ng. The very temperament of the
The Wolf Point herald., 1922-06-29

person who has charge of the animals
often has much to do with their
health Some people are said to have
way" with animals. If the hired
man neglects and abuses animals,
get rid of him. Aside from cOmmu-
nicable diseases, the greatest loss can
be traced to disorders arising from
some form of abuse of the stomach
and intestines of animals. A proper
balancing of rations has material
influence on the health of livestock.
Too much of any food element is
likely to result in digestive disorders,
thus predisposing the animal to dis
ease.
Parasitic diseases also carry off
large numbers of valuable animals
every year. They are largely the re-
suit of improper housing and neglect
The average farmer can not be ex-
pected to have the time and aptitude
for study which will keep him apace
with the latest developments in feeds
and feeding, animal nutrition and
medicines, hygiene, and other import
ant matters related to the stock-rais-
ing industry. He can, however,
avail himself of the benefit of the
studies and demonstrations of spe-
cialists who have devoted their en-
tire time to these subjects. Every
state agricultural college maintains
a corps of specialists whose publica-
tions and services are available
Department Offers Aid
The department of agriculture is
constantly giving out important in
formation in books and bulletins
which may be had on request and
in every state the department has
representative combating animal
diseases. 1t is well to consult a local
in case of any disturb
ing symptoms and to report to the
state veterinarian or the department
Of agriculture, any symptoms which
indicate the possibility of an epidem-

lookout to prevent disease instead OF
waiting until cure Is necessary.

With reports by counties in Mon
tana, made by bankers at group meet
ings of the Montana Bankers assOcia-
ton held a short time ago at sew
eral places in the state, showing
without a single exception better
than normal crop and range condi
tiOns, and with the price for wool
holding steadily at 40 cents and over,
there is no longer any basis for
gloom, according to Matt Staff, presi-
dent and general manager of the Ma
tional Wool Warehouse and Storage
company of Chicago, who is spending
a few days in Helena on business.
Mr.. Staff, at the invitation of the
group secretaries, attended the meet
ings and had place on the pro-
grams.
Wool Position Strong
Again advising Montana woolgrow-
ers to keep their control of the mar
ket which they have gained in the
few weeks past, Mr.. Staff briefly
summarized the present situation
and gave a forecast of the informed
wool circles. He said, ''it is acknowl- |
edged that wool occupies a stronger
position today than at any time with
in the memory of those engaged in |
the trade. 1t is now entirely prob
lem of supply and demand. With |
stocks on hand in this country on |
January 1, 1922, of approximately |
350,000,000 pounds, with an antici-
pated production this year of not to
exceed 250,000,000 pounds, we will
have available for consumption with
in the calendar year 1922 total of
600,000,000 pounds. Since it is Gus
tomary in normal years to carry over
from one year to the next around
800, 100000 pounds, we shall neces-
sarily have to import from abroad
at least 300,00O,000 pounds, and
possibly considerably more, to sup
ply our needs.
when it is considered that Amer
lea has bought very little in foreign
markets, all available supplies having {
been absorbed by England and con-
tinental Europe, it will not be diff
ficult for anyone to understand what (
the effect would be on prices in the 9
foreign markets if America suddenly J
should become an active participant I
In bidding at foreign auctions. AS !
1t now stands, foreign markets have
advanced more rapidly than Ameri-
can markets and the margin is widen

possible to obtain, and it is my judg- is

demand for medium woods such as "

There is much hay and other for

enough cattle to use up the hay and

is heading out beautifully. A good
crop of this grain is assured. Not
