Oregpn Livestock Is
in Healthy Condition
After Winter Months
; f; r .
f BY W. II. LYTLE
' State Veterfnkrlaii . r
A summary of the; livestock con
. 'dition after the close of the win
ter months revealed the fact that
Oregon livestock In tie main win
f tered exceptionally well, notwith
standing the fact that many herds
went into , winter quarters with
less tallow on their ribs than for
raany years. -
i During- the winter ' months
quite rigorous winter weather wag
encountered, ..but the cold spell
lasted -onljr tor a brief ' period
tturing which time there was some
little 106 or thin anrmals due to
the extreme cold. 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

tion is the' same thai caused the

seem to be quite wide spread.
The infection is frequently en

disease. The sheep herd- of. th

Infetion for the first jtima in a
number of years. Not ft single
case of . sheep scab has been re
ported in Oregon ' a for the : past
winter months'. A light lamb- loss
has been encountered by a : few
breeder engaged in winter lamb
ing. 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

"The bargains, of course;, will

Mr. Vick. j "Oakland : is among
the few cars that have perman

which glass enclosures may' be

"Today, whether a' person pur

he is already sold on the' idea' of

with glass enclosures; may be pur

it as a' closed car. , ' v t r
"Used cars are generally pur
