a HeavyPricev&m 
for a Cheap Crib 
Every time you store corn or grain in a 
wooden crib, you lose money. Bats and 
mice destroy bushels of it. Bain and snow 
drive in and keep it damp and mouldy. 
And there is always danger of Are *nd the 
“borrower.” 
“ WithTheSTEEL’RIB ^ 
is the crib that lasts and cost no more. 
AVeatherproof, rat and vermin proof, fire¬

vanized steel—heavy steel ribs and rein¬ 
forced construction.

New York Federation of Sheep Growers 
The meeting of the New York State 
Federation of Sheep Growers’ Associations 
was held at Cooperstovfn, August 13 and 
14. It was voted a success. There were 
about 300 persons present, 23 counties of 
New York beipg represented, and also 
Canada and two other States. The pro¬ 
gram was varied, including a practical 
exhibition of judging sheep, a discussion 
as to the relative merits, of the Shrop- 
shires and the Cheviot breeds, a discus¬ 
sion of the dog law, and other subjects 
interesting to sheepmen. A part of the 
meeting was spent at Glimmerglen Farms, 
and also at. Fineliurst. at both of which 
places some excellent sheep were examined. 
A sale of sheep was also successfully con¬ 
ducted by the Otsego County Association. 
The president of the association, Fred L. 
Porter, outlined the sheep situation and 
some of the immediate needs of the sheep¬ 
men. Among other things Mr. Poster 
spoke of a campaign to encourage an in¬ 
creased consumption of lamb and mutton. 
There is some prejudice against this 
meat on the part of many consumers, and 
some of the butchers do not care to handle 
it. An educational campaign, somewhat 
after the plan of the old Apple Consum- 
actual percentage of virgin wool therein 
contained; and be it further 
RESOLVED, That a failure so to do, 
or any false statement made in relation 
thereto, shall be subject to an adequate 
line or imprisonment, or both, as may be 
determined by such legislative enactment; 
and be it further 
‘RESOLVED. That the secretary of 
this association be directed to send a copy 
of these resolutions to all organizations 
interested in the subject matter. 
Our picture shows John A. Curry of 
Ilartwiek judging a group of Cheviots at 
this meeting. 
Salt Pork for Bloat 
Various cures have been given for bloat 
or hoven. You realize that the worth of 
a cure is in some respect due to one’s apt¬ 
ness to have it on hand. Every farm lias 
salt pork, and for bloat I don’t know of 
anything equal to it. I have never seen 
nor heard it recommended, but I have 
used it, so I speak from _ facts. Last. 
Spring we were troubled quite a bit with 
bloat. We had one Shorthorn heifer that 
was very hearty and very susceptible. We 
were pasturing clover, and this made it 
worse. One night in particular when she 
came up. her left side was three inches 
higher than her back. The saliva had 
started to run, but she had not started to 
froth at the mouth. She gave short.

Judging Cheviots at Field Meeting of N. Y. State federation of Sheep 0>oueis 
ns' League, will help put lamb on the 
able. Mr. Porter said that lamb is the 
nost healthful of all meat, and perhaps 
he best suited of any for the use of iu- 
,-alicls,' being very palatable and highly 
ligestible. Mr. Porter told of Lincoln 
Braden of California, who when he went 
o a picnic with his wife always took a 
oast leg of lamb in place of the usual 
;old ham. People liked the lamb so well 
;hat they called for more of it. Ilis 
n-oduet became famous, and he now sells 
ill his surplus by parcel post. 
Mr. Porter snoke of the new dosr law, 
groaning “moos” at frequent intervals, 
and really we were worried. It was the 
worst case I had ever seen. We took 
about a pound and a half of salt pork and 
cut into strips about % in. thick, and the 
length and width the piece happened to 
be. and made the heifer swallow it. Some¬ 
times they will eat it after they taste the 
salt, but it was necessary for us to take a 
stick and push it down her throat. In 20 
minutes the flanks had fallen in. This is 
an absolute fact, and is worth knowing. 
After a creature begins to froth at the 
mouth and falls down I don’t believe it 
would work. But never, never, give a 
physic. Some men have, but they re¬ 
gretted it. Also keep the animal quiet. 
.T. E. w. 
and there was a further discussion by 
John C. Cottrell, Mr. Harper of Delaware 
County, and Mr. McLaury of the Agri¬ 
cultural Department. The general opinion 
seems to be that the present dog law is 
a step in advance, although it does not 
go far enough. There ought to be a sepa¬ 
rate bureau, arranged to take care of New 
York State sheep interests. Henry L. 
Wardwell gave an excellent address on 
the general interests of the sheepmen. He 
advised them to improve the quality of 
their flocks through the use of pure blood, 
to select a good breed suited to their re¬ 
quirements, and to stick right to it. He 
gave some excellent and practical advice 
to the sheepmen. Regarding the use of 
shoddy and cotton in all-wool garments, 
Mr. E. S. Hill, the head of the Resolu¬ 
tions Committee, read the following, which 
was adopted: 
WHEREAS, It has become the com¬ 
mon practice of many manufacturers of 
so-called woolen fabrics to mix with vir¬ 
gin wool either cotton, shoddy or re¬ 
worked wool and to place such fabrics on 
the market as all-wool fabrics to the 
great detriment of the consuming public, 
as well as to the wool growers of the 
country: therefore be it 
RESOLVED, That it is the seuse of 
this Association, that the proper legisla¬ 
tion be enacted, requiring all manufac¬ 
turers or dealers in woolen fabrics to 
have displayed on each garment or fabric 
offered for sale a statement showing tins 
Skin Disease 
I have a few cows in my herd that have 
an eruption of the skin, mostly over the 
back and neck; it looks like a mass of 
pimples. What would you advise me to 
do? w. j.g. 
Wisconsin. 
Wash the cattle clean with green soap 
and hot water and then dry thoroughly. 
Afterward apply a 1-50 solution of coal 
tar dip once daiy and dust with sulphur 
while the skin is damp. If this does not 
suffice, make the solution stronger.
