The losses were confined hiftly to j horses, that 'were ranged oh the public 'domain andMo thin cattle that 'could not flnd shelter or' feed A- rough estimate of these loasea would place the horse loss at 8 per cent and the cattle, loss at from 5 to 1 3 per cent, averaging approxim ately 8 pei cent.- This loss was ft the" high desert c'ouatnr. ; , There?-was some. ipsa" experienc ed I; ewe , bands.; j particularly amongst, the old ewe; hienibera of the flocks: . This was; in part due to the fact that some; of the Ore gon flocks have not 'beur sold down to the young, breeding' anf- mala as closely as in' former yeafi, During the liquidation -period a considerable percentage) of - the strictly range district : flock; J mas ters', were forced to sell their younger animals- and In these dt- ,-ltr there was perhapsiar ? per cent ewe loss, i The animals we -not valuable excepting1 for their v" aHity ta raise a larab. ; : Tlnr health: or the Oregon . lltev ; tock was never better.

This Infection appears to be due to loss of condition In- some of the ewe flocks', which was probably in part cauVe-by the long period of dry feed that the herds substisted on ladt summer and fall.- ThV lossesv have been confined to individual flocks and in no sense could be considered as a general infection , L f Cc;:;r Tub lBaaXB-a---, i m. i hi . .ii i,i m it " f .fcMi'K hmtt m-rm-BBB 0 Free, With Every - &l JA Efcctnc Wcichcr Use Your 'Diseases In hogs have been con. fined i chiefly to . pneumonia fn young ! pigs and young stocker animals.
