With lambing season already on
In certain sections of the valley and
with other sheep raisers just at the
eve of this busy season, a recent
letter of advice and suggestion
from Dr. W. H. Lytle. state veter
inarian, Is quite apropos. Ir,
Lytle writes especially of one of
Sthe maladies which Is found fro.

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 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

havo the feed yards or winter pas
