The loss of sheep, mutton, and
wool from disease in this county
is due mostly to parasites. This
damage from parasites is great
est, as a rule, among lambs and
young animals. These animals
usually acquire the parasites
from older sheep. 1t is import
ant to rid the entire flock of par
asites both external and internal
before putting sheep on pasture
in the spring and every fall. The
internal parasites include tape
worms, flukes, round worms, and
a few others such as maggots,
causing grub in the head, and
lung worm and microscopic pro-
tozoa. Of these the stomach
worm and nodular worms cause
most damage in Ashe county.
Symptoms of parasite infesta-
ton are loss of weight and finish,
failure to grow or gain normal
weight, less wool and wool of
poorer quality, and anemia. The
wise sheep grower does not wait
for these symptoms to show
themselves before treating his
sheep.
Two of the most effective and
safest preparations to use in
drenching are PhenOthiazine and

Norway Troops To
Train In Germany

OSLO = Norwegian Minister of
Defense, Jens Christian Hauge,
has announced that the 4,4OO-man
Norwegian brigade which will
soon leave for occupation duty in
the British zone of Germany will
not be relegated to general guard
duty. According to an agreement
with the British authorities, the
Norwegian troops will participate
in operative tasks with greatest
possible attention to a period of
military training.

departure of the women's corps,
as earlier planned. An additional
proposal calling for a period of
general military training for Nor
wegian women was turned down by
80 votes.
Minister Hauge personally init
mated that the women's corps
could have fulfilled an important
task with the occupation forces,
but admitted that the Parliament's
clear-cut decision put a stop to
any such plans. Though factually
correct, the inclusion of the wom-
ems corps was termed psychology

Trade Balance

.OLSO.-Export-im import figures
for the first nine months of 1916
show Norway's present foreign-ex-
change status to be considerably
better than anticipated. Imports
since liberation have been size
able, although falling somewhat
short of earlier estimates, while
exports have risen steadily.
Most important, however, is the
favorable price increase of export
ed Norwegian goods on world mar
kets. During the first nine months,
Norwegian imports have exceeded
exports by but 432 million kroner.
a deficit considerably below earlier
estimates. A part of the deficit
figure represents purchases of
merchant ships abroad which dur
ing the nine months has included 20
motor ships totalling 1855 tons,
and 10 steam vessels with a total
tonnage of 26,636 tons.
Exchange derived through Sner-
chant and whaling fleets has been
extremely important, with gross
freight income for 1916 estimated
at one billion Kroner. Net foreign
exchange sailed in by the fleet
during 1916 is expected to exceed
$50, 100000 kroner, but this will
be turned back into the industry
through the purchase of new Ships.
Norwegian shipping firms will
have paid out between 600 and 300
million kroner in addition to large
amounts in dollars and pounds for
the purchase of ships during 1916.

who is used to catching gamey and
fully grown up fish, is on the sea-

never again would have a chance
to go fishing. Memories from the
