A. .McNaugh-to- n, general manager, Los Angeles Union Stockyards. California has mote this season about 30,000 lambs on feed than normally, he explains, but advises the livestock trade not to become alarmed. At a glance it might seem that this large number of fat lambs would have an adverse effect on the he marketing of spring lambs, on but the increase the.cofest says, as well as in the corn belt, around 310.000 head in excess of last year is more than offset by decreased numbers in other states. In Colorado alone-ther- e are 730,000 fewer lambs on feed than last year, with 0 45.000 less in Wyoming and less in Idaho, although Montana has 50,000 head rjore on feed taking these figures as a group, there are 3 65,000 head, or 8 per cent fewer lambs and sheep on feed at this season than was the case last year. 50,-00- INTERMOUNTAIN HONEY OUTLOOK CALLED GOOD The 1927 honey outlook in the intermountain states . is excellent, according to opinion expressed on Monday by Earl J. Miller, Provo, of N. E. Miller & Sons company, extensive intermountain hotoey producers. Mr. Miller stopped in Salt Lake on his way to Blackfoot, Idaho, where the Miller company has colonies of bees. Recent rains in California assure a good honey flow, which will please the Millers. They have been in San Bernandino county. Reports from Idaho indicate bees in that state wintering well. ent is kndwn, for as a general rule a good cow will produce a good calf. The successful dairyman knows he can not take chances on the production of his herd or guess what a calf may do after he has fed it fofc three or four years. A good slogan for any dairy fames is, Test, dont guess. (Next article will be the npeans by which we may improve our herds.
