New Jersey Sheep and Wool Growers 
Organize 
On February 20 the leading sheep and 
wiki] growers of New Jersey met at Tren¬ 
ton and organized the New Jersey Sheep 
and Wood Growers’ Association. The 
following officers were elected : President, 
Arthur G. Banks. Allamuchy ; vice-presi¬ 
dent. D. C. Ward, Florham Park; treas¬ 
urer, G. A. Post, Somerville, and secre¬ 
tary, W. II. Hamilton, Trenton. An ex¬ 
ecutive committee, consisting of the presi¬ 
dent, vice-president, treasurer, Mr. L. It. 
Harris, Lambertville, and Prof. J. M. 
Hunter, State College of Agriculture. New 
Brunswick, was chosen. 
Mr. It. I,. Munee, a prominent flock- 
master of Washington County, Pa., ledi a 
discussion on the “Care of Sheep and the 
Sale of Wool.” Mr. Munee told of the 
M ashington County Sheep and Wool 
Growers’ Association, and 1 of the Tri-State 
Sheep Association. He strongly empha¬ 
sized the advisability of individual fann¬ 
ers pooling their clip and selling to repu¬ 
table commission men on graded basis 
rather than having gatherers 'buy from 
individuals without regard to the grade 
of the wool. 
Dr. J. II. McNeil, Chief of the Bureau 
of Animal Industry. State Department of 
Agriculture, briefly discussed “Sheep Dis¬ 
eases,” stating that the prevention of dis¬ 
ease was far better than any cures that 
had been devised. The proposed d'og law 
for New Jersey, similar to the Pennsylva¬ 
nia law, was discussed and received the 
approval of the association. Plans are 
on the way for the holding of special 
meetings in some of the northern counties 
of the State, with a view of pooling the 
wool clip and discussing sheep. 
Drenching for .Stomach Worms 
Referring to page .240. the treatment 
for stomach worms discovered by the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture is unquestionably 
such a valuable contribution to successful 
sheep husbandry that it seems to me a 
pity repeatedly to confront the small flock 
owner with a “drenching apparatus” de¬ 
scribed in the same language originally 
published with the formula, requiring at 
least one assistant in its operation, re¬ 
gardless of the fact that the farmer is not 
usually blessed with the number of assis¬ 
tants in a Government bureau. We use 
a one-man equipment, consisting of a 
‘‘battery filler” purchased at automobile 
supply house for GO cents, and a graduat¬ 
ed measuring glass (have in fact used a 
discarded baby’s milk bottle marked in 
ounces) with which we kill the worms, 
but neither sheep or lambs. 
Having mixed a crock of the solution, 
one man can fill the syringe fa “battery 
filler” is nothing more than a five-ounce 
rubber bulb and seven-inch hard rubber 
mouthpiece), stand it on end or in his 
pocket, and backing the sheep into a cor¬ 
ner with head held at his knee and 
“drenching apparatus” in other hand, 
slowly squeeze out the dose, being careful 
of course not to let the mouth get higher 
than the eyes; and similarly treat any 
number of sheep, almost as fast as he can 
catch them. mo x roe g. iiaigiit.

Dividing Sheep Damage 
Regarding the question on page 242. A 
should have half value of lambs and the 
value of the ewe, or .$65; 1? half value of 
Iambs, or $45. The $100 general damage 
should be divided, as the flock will not 
produce as much wool, nor will the lambs 
do as well. Perhaps if the flock was 
composed of both lambs and ewes when 
the contract was made the amount of in¬ 
terest to be paid to A should be a factor 
*to be considered, say $0 less. I think if 
A got $75 and B $25 it would be a fair 
compromise. This would give A $20 + $45 
-f $75, or $140. and B $45 + $25. or $70. 
Ontario Co., N. Y, j. w. reed. 
Referring to the sheep question on page 
242, I would like to say that it is the the¬ 
ory of the law that no damages can be 
collected unless interest can be made to 
appear. Now, inasmuch as B’s only in¬ 
terest. in the flock is his share of the in¬ 
crease, therefore his only interest in the 
damages is liis share of the damage to the 
increase; for, as they share alike in the 
increase, they must also share alike in 
any loss to the increase, and so, alike in 
any damages awarded on account of such 
loss. B’s allotment would therefore be 
one-half of the value of the dead and 
missing lambs, or $45. B dot's not appear 
to have any interest whatever in the rest 
of tin* flock, since the sheep do not belong 
to him. but are tin' property of another 
man. Neither is lit' under any obligations 
to replace the dead ewe. because she has 
been paid for by the State. I am assum¬ 
ing. of course, that the incident took place 
after shearing time and when the lambs 
were growing. Should it. however, have 
taken place before shearing, and while the 
lambs were small. B might be, in a meas¬ 
ure. damaged through possible loss of 
wool and stunting of the lambs due to the 
worrying of their mothers But if this 
was not expressly provided for in the ad¬ 
justment of damages by the State, B could 
not collect anything of A on that account. 
1 am also assuming that the contract 
between A and B terminates with the end 
of the season. If the contract is for a 
term of years, some adjustments would 
be necessary in view of that.

/i Gentlemen:— 
I have tried all kinds of grain 
rations for my Guernsey herd, in¬ 
cluding those suggested by Cornell 
and the best known breeders in the 
country. Every time I come back to 
Unicorn better satisfied than ever. 
I am now through experimenting 
with feed mixtures of others who 
think they can beat it either for 
economy,yield or condition of herd, 
because I know that they don’t know 
what they are talking about. If they 
would all stop fussing around with 
half baked theories and give Unicom 
a good honest and unprejudiced feed¬ 
ing test for 90 days, I know that they 
would agree with my statements and 
that it would show them how to save 
money and time, and their herds would 
do better in yield and condition, with 
less cost for grain than ever before. I speak 
from eight years experience with Unicorn. 
I have also tried all the other rations said 
to be just as good, and Unicorn for me 
every time. Yours truly. 
Every feeder of Unicorn says as much as 
Mr. C oggshall writes. They all Eke Unicom.
