HAVE MORE SHEEr
During 1916 the United States Raised
Only 35 Per Cent of Wool
She Used.
By J. H. McLeod, Senior Livestock
Specialist, Extension Division, Uni
versity of Arkansas.
Arkansas should have more sheep
The need of raising more sheep is ap
parent from the fact that in 1916 the
United States raised only 35 per cent
of the wool she used. There has beqn
a very large increase in the demand
for mutton to feed the millions of
men who are now on the European
front, '"ad while the demand has been
for more sheep, the number of sheep
has decreased in the United States,
due to the opening up of Government
land in the West for settlement and
the losses in sheep upon the ranges
through disease.
Although there have not been many
sheep raised in this state, we know
that Arkansas has a number of ad
vantages for sheep production. We
have a very mild climate and for this
reason can produce grass almost the
year through. We also have a large
acreage of high, well drained cheap
land in North Arkansas which fur
nishes favorable conditions for the
keeping of largo flocks of sheep at a
comparatively low cost. Arkansas
mm who have gone into the sheep
business and followed it in an intelli
gent manner find that they are a very
profitable investment.
First: They pick vp a great deal of
waste about the farm that other farm
animals cannot utilize.
Second: They clean up the weeds
and cause grasses to grow where weed
patches were before.
Third: Sheep furnish quick returns.
Ewes can be bred in the fall and
their lambs maiketed eight or ten
months thereafter.
Fourth: Profits are large—it is
usually considered that the wool will
pay for the keep of the ewes and the
lambs come as clear profit.
Fifth: Shi>ep are good soil builders,
sheep manure being the richest ma
nure produced by any farm animal.
Sixth: They require little expen
sive feed.
Seventh: Money from sheep comes
in in the spring at a time of the year
when few' other products are being
put upon the market.
While the prospects for Sheep grow
ing look very good, the Extension Di
vision does not want to encourage
anyone to take up this line of livestock
industry unless they have had pre
vious experience or have an honest
desire to study and learn the nature
and the requirements of sheep. With
out a love for sheep and a knowledge
of the industry, little success can be
expected.
One of the mAin essentials in grow
ing this class of animals is good pas
ture. Permanent pasture should
be established with orchard grass
or Bermuda grass as a basis.
In the northern section of the
state orchard grass is better
adapted to the soil and climate.
In the central and southern portion,
Bermuda thrives best. With Bermu
da grass can also be mixed lespedeza
which makes its rankest growth dur
ing the hot summer months, bur clov
er which thrives during the winter
and white clover which begins its
growth early in the spring. Besides
a permanent pasture a temporary pas
ture should also bo provided.
Size of Flocks: It is the opinion of
the most competent authorities that
sheep can be handled in the most eco
nomical way with not less than fifty
or sixty ewes as a unit. The advan
tage coming from this large number
is that it doea not cost much more
t.' fence, shelter and care for fifty or
sixty ewes than it would a smaller
number, and for this reason when the
large numbers art* handled tho cost
per ewe Is much less than when only
a few are carried in the flock. While
it is true that experienced men can
handle most advantageously sheep in
the number suggested, with the be
ginner it is no doubt best for him to
start with eight or ten ewes and
gradually increase his flock.
Kind of Sheep: It is not well for
the beginner to start with pure breds,
but he should begin with good grades.
Perhaps the best place to secure these
grades is from the Stock Yards Mar
kets through sonic reliable commis
sion firm. The majority of the ewes
upon the markets come from the
western ranges and are for the most
part of the Merino breed. These ewes,
however, can be bred up quickly by
using rams of the breed preferred.
The lambs from Merino ewes and mut
ton rams make a rapid growth and
sell well when placed on the market.
When giving an order for this 3tock
it is well to write the commission
man the breed of sheep which you pre
fer and caution him not to buy ewes
that are too old. Quite a number ol
the stock earning from the W’estern
| ranges are old ewes that have broken
I mouths and. cannot for this r«UMi
| graze to the best advantage.
Bodily Housekc r j ig
(BY SAMUEL HAMILTON, M. D.)
The subject of drinking water wltl
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by mean!
of X-rays, the observations of scientist!
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow
ler, Hawk, prove that an abundance o
water taken during digestion is neces
sary in good bodily housekeeping. Drinl
plenty of water with each meal, Do no
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suffe
with lumbago or rheumatism at times
pain In the back or back of the neck, tak
a little Anuric before meals. This cai
be found at any good drug store. There
fore my advice to young or old is, alway
drink plenty of pure water. And for Ion
life, occasionally take tablets of Anuri
three or four times a day.
It is simply wouderful how jqulckl
Anuric acts —much more potent tna
Hthla. You will find it dissolve's uri
•eld as water does sugar.

US soy SE Of Bi
Extension Divisicn of U. of A. Urges
Arkansas People To Increase Their
Poultry Production.
Realizing that poultry can take the
place of red meat and relieve the
great shortage Arkansas p- de ar
urged to increase their poultry pro
duction ar. quickly as possible
In order to aid farmers and poultry
men by giving such help and sug
gestions as may be needed, Mr. H. B,
Lansden has been appointed by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture to co
operate with the Extension Division
of the University of Arkansas. He
will visit every county in toe state,
| and, working with the count'' agents,
will organize Poultry Assoc,, ons and
Boys' and Girls’ Poultry Clubs. He
will be glad to answer all inquiries
coming from Arkansas people.
In speaking of the present situa
tion, Mr. Lansden says: "The Unit
ed States is short on red meat, and
our soldiers and allies must have it.
TO# quickest way to overcome this
shortage of beef, pork and mutton is
for every household, and every hotel
and restaurant in this country to sub
stitute poultry for red meat. The de
mand for more poultry which will re
mit can be quickly met because of
the rapidity with which increased p °
duction of poultry can be effected. It
Is therefore up to every farmer and
city or village dweller, who has a
small back lot, to do their bit In the
increase of this poultry food supply.
There should be one hundred to two
hundred hen6 on every farm, because
these hens can pick up a large por
tion of their living and will consume
much material that would otherwise
go to waste. Every city and village
dweller who has small space in th“
back yard can keep a few hens. A
half-dozen to a dozen thriPy hens or
pullets will produce sufflc-mr supnlr
of eggs for most any ordinary fam
ily, and can he fed largely on the
scraps from the table for which there
is no other use."
Hint* to Prospective Poultry^’en.
Hatch chickens early, as it is the
early hatched pullet that lays in fail
and winter when eggs are scarce end
high priced.
Confine hens and chicks to brood
coops for at least two weeks The
Iosr of baby chicks, fro i avowing
the hens to lend them through wet.
grass and weeds before they are
strong, la enormous.
Dispose of surplus coekerels as soon
as they weigh one to one and one
half pounds. There Is more profit in
the first pound than in any time there
after. This will not only be more
profitable to the producer, but will
conserve the grain they would con
lume after this age.
Produce Infertile egga. The loss
from fertile eggs, from blood rings
developing during warm spring and
•summer, amounts to $15,000,000 annu
ally. Infertile eggs are produced by
removing the male bird from the yard
after the breeding season ia over.
Preserve egga during summer while
"ggs are cheap by the water glass
method. Pull instruction for this
method of preserving will be furn'sh
°d on application to the Extenton
Division.
Provide comfortable, but not neces
sarily expensive houses, well ventilat
ed and kept thoroughly dry. Hens
can not produce eggs when subjected
to cold rains and storms.
There Is every indication that the
prices for poultry and eggs will be
high for some time—and remember,
there ia no danger of over-production.
Patriotic Duty to Increase Brood Sows
and Protect Pigs.
It la the patriotic duty of every Ar
kansas farmer not only to keep more
brood sows, but to protect his pigs
from cholera and other diseases. Re
member, next to cholera, lice and in
testinal worms are the worst enemies
of the hog. Lice can be confrctir^ bv
lipping the hogs either in the arsenical
cattle dip, used for killing the ticks,
or dipping or spraying In any one of
the creosote dips; or applying crude
oil, commonly known as louse oil.
This is applied by painting it a'ong
the bavck of the hog and on the inside
and outside of the ear. When the
tiog lies down in the sun this will
run over the body and will kill tha
lice and remove any scurf which may
be on the skin.
intestinal worms tan ue preveniea
to a certain extent by changing th#
feeding places of the hogs regularly
»nd keeping the troughs cleaned out;
also by scattering lime over th*
ground where the feed troughs are lo
cated. A tonic for hogs will to a cer
ain extent reduce intestinal parasite*.
The following prescription has been
jsed with a good deal of success by
this department:
Soft coal, 100 pounds.
Common salt, 5 pounds.
Sulphate of iron, 6 pounds.
Keep this In a shallow box In th*
siog lot where the rain will not get
nto It. Detailed information concerti
ng all kinds of live stock disease*
can be secured by writing to Dr. R. M
iow. State Veterinarian, Old State
House, Little Rock, Ark.
