Mr. Selfors, llko scores of others, has a deep interest In the welfare of the season a show and as an evidence of that, has writ ten the following article in regard to the show, which we are very glad to Include on this pago today.

H. Lytle. state veter inarian, Is quite apropos. Ir, Lytle writes especially of one of Sthe maladies which Is found fro. .quently enough that considerable i in tho way of caution needs to be said, and Or. Lytle Is ouo who speaks with authority, I The malady which the state of ficial tukes up is thut of pregnant ewe paralysis, a malady, which he says, Is a disorder that Is quite common In ewes that aro bred for early lambing. Old' coarse-bred ewes, that is those past Blx yours of age are the more susceptible because their teeth are not good and their food Is not so well chewed, they aro stiff and will not, move about so much, they are not so rugged and they do not drink so much cold water. The paralysis is apparently due to an excessive consumption of pro tein feeds resulting la tho forma- the county plows.

The thing that apparently kills the ewo Is a food poisoning from food de composition taking pluce In the In testines. Bulky coarse hay feeds, pressure from currying twin lambs, luck of exercise and the consump tion of too little wuter all tend to wurd constipation, food toxemia and tho fatul ending. In provonllon lies tho solution of the problem of this dlsoaso control. Huch flock management as will cuuse the owes to eat less coarso hay feeds and slightly moro con centrates, take more oxerclBe, and drink more water during cold weather will : tend to prevent the disorder. . t , , . The disease Is seldom ever seen In ewes not being lambed in the winter cold speel Indicating thut countered Immediately following a witcr cold spell Indicating that the lack of exeralse and the failure to drink a sufficient amount of water ls a strong contributing cause. This Is the time to bo on guard. During the winter's cold snap, If within throe weeks of lambing, drive the ewes at least three miles per day. This can be done by causing them to follow a hay wagon, If they can not bo mov ed out to the rango or they can be driven about the yard. In the Wll ktmotte Valley section It Is well to havo the feed yards or winter pas ture a considerable distance from tho sheds. Also feed hay at night. This will cause the owes to go out and grate during the day and get exercise. A tunk heater with warm wuter If the owes drink out of u trough will greatly udd to tho consumption of water during cold weather, tho most essentlul thing for provontlon. When tunk boaters are not used molasses In the water or on the food will causo tho ewes to drink twice tho amount o( water. Tho sugar warms up their systems and they drink twice the umount. This additional water loosens up the bowels, flushes out tho kidneys and eliminates , tho poisonous body wastes. - Treatment Is not as a rule suc cessful. If attempted, strong pur gatives, drenching with mulusses und water followod by rypodormic ully udmlnlstcred purgatives by a veterinarian may save tho mild euses.
