Show STOCK OWNERS SHOULD CHOOSE RELIABLE HELP The live stock raisers of Utah are warned to shun the use of stock foods and tonics until the state live stock commissioner has passed upon these. The board believes that in these foods and tonics death lurks. "Until the state chemist has reported re-ported his findings in the analysis of blood and spleen of certain sheep which died at Delta recently, we cannot make any authoritative statement state-ment that these sheep died of poisoning," poison-ing," said Secretary Thomas Red-' Red-' mond of the state live stock commission commis-sion this week, while discussing a warning bulletin issued by the board to all stockmen of the state. . Mr. Redmond stated that no instance in-stance of poisoning through the medium me-dium of tonics and stock food has actually come to the notice of the board, but he admitted that an epidemic epi-demic in a band of sheep located near the flocks in which deaths occurred oc-curred last week had every appearance appear-ance of being induced by poisoned tonics. With this in mind, the board members ask that all tonics and foods be submitted for analysis before be-fore being used. The bulletin in part reads: "On account of war conditions. It is deemed advisable that you know absolutely whom you employ to look after your herds, and It is also well to be on the alert and- ascertain the identity and reliability of any individual indi-vidual who comes upon your range representing himself as a hunter or trapper." |
