Lamb Feeding Experiments : Open for Comparison in Different Rations of Food Lamb U. & Cutting Program Follows Beginning " of Feed Tests. V I 1 By KENNETH C. IKELER. (Dean of Arrfculture, C. 8. A. C.) On November 1, a lamb feeding experiment began at Monroe, on the farm of A. C. Magleby, with 12 lots of 70 lambs each and will run for' approximately 120 days. This is the second year for this work at Monroe. This year's rations are so planned as to check on last year's work to make it more conclusive. Alfalfa hay and whole barley the basal ration for comparison against the different cuttings of alfalfa hay, brown cured alfalfa hay, corn silage, shelled corn, whole wheat, ground barley and beet molasses. On November 13, the second see tlon of the lamb feeding experimental program will begin on the farm of J. F. Row at Delta, which region has been suffering somewhat from a one-crsystem of farming. Thirteen lots of 70 lambs each will be fed In this experiment, making comparisons between the roughages, alfalfa hay, alfalfa chaff and barley straw. In addition, the Delta tests will compare the efficiency of whole barley, shelled corn, cottonseed cake, Purina feed, and Quaker oats in the grain ration. This experiment will also compare a lot of heavy pelted and a lot of black-face- d lambs, respectively, with smooth lambs of Ramboulllet foundation. An unusual interest is manifested in these two lots of lambs, Lota Feed Twenty-fiv- e Of 71 Lambs Each. Thus we see there will be runnliur In Utah this winter 25 lotsot 70 lambs each on experimental rations. It Is doubtful If any other state will prosecute a more comprehensive experimental lamb feeding program. The Utah State Agricultural Experiment station Is cooperating with the lamb feeders' associations at Monroe and Delta and with the state Figures Show 5 Per Cent Gain in Flocks Utah )"V fib's 'winning teams . at the Pacific International at' Portland were extensively honored.

The reports Indicate the number of young chickens of this year's hatch, Including pullets being saved for layers, was tyoout 10 per cent greater than on October 1 last year.

So far as can be ascertained, the rodents are not seriously inconvenienced by the infection, but they are capable of infecting any ticks which may. feed upon them for a period of about ten days.

One of the most dangerous of such diseases Is Rocky Mountain spotted fever. This disease has existed In the northwestern United States ever since this section was first ; v -settled, In spit of the general distribution of Rocky mountain spotted fever In the northwest, it is generally looked upon as a disease being peculiar to Montana. This Is due to the fact that most, of the investigations have been conducted in Montana, and also to the fact that there exists an area In western Montana where the disease is more virulent and fatal than elsewhere.
