Snodgrass Grocer Quality Phono Main 43 Service Honest Prices "NEW METOHDS" APPLIED. : Tests Prove That Sheep Thrive Best Under Roving Conditions. , - Tho District Forester at Portland,! Oregon, has just announced the re-: suits of experiments made, during the ! past- season, in handling sneep undor different conditions on the .National ' Forest range. ' j It is stated that former experiments indicated that it was a profitable pro position to give careful attention to the sheep on the range, and the aim of the past season's experiments was to confirm these indications. Several bnnds of sheep were kept under ob servation on different forests. Half of them were handled under the "old methods" and the other half under thfc "new methods." In every in stance there was a gain in favor of the "new method," not only in tha sheep themselves, but in the amount of forage that was saved from de struction. As the results were prac tically the same in all cases, it will be necessary to give the details of but one experiment. On the Santium National Forest, two bunds of sheep were selected. Band No. 1 consisted of 1196 ewes and 1160 lambs. Band No. 2 consist ed of 9!)6 ewes and 957 lambs. Range conditions for both bands were iden tical, but one band was handled un der the "old method" and the other under the "new method." In other words, Band No. 1 was returned ,to the same bed ground for several nights in succession, and thus trailed over the same range every day; while Bund No.. 2 was bedded wherever night overtook them, except in stormy weather, and were 'loosely herded and ullowed to graze quietly. Two hun dred lambs in each band were weigh ed when the sheep entered the range, and again when they left. Those of Band No. 2 showed an average gain of faur and two-tenths pounds over those of Band No. 1. At six cents per pound, this means at least 25 cents per head gain. On 1000 lambs this would amount to $250. This sum is certainly worth while to the stockman. E. 1-4 of the N. E. 1-4, Sec. 4 Town ship 3 Range 40 E. W. M.
