Our New Wire Has Double the Heat Treatment in the Zinc Bath—the 
Proper and Only Way to Give a Heavier-Coating with Lasting Quality 
This new galvanizing insulates the wire with zinc, or spelter. 
The wire passes through a long molten bath where it ac¬ 
cumulates this greater protective coating, impregnating the steel. 
You know, of course, that all fence wire is galvanized—to 
protect it from rust—to make it last longer, in all kinds of 
weather. 
Perhaps you don’t know that there’s as much difference in 
galvanized coatings as there is in the thickness of bark on trees. 
► It is not only the amount of zinc applied that gives the wire long life, but 
the coating must be uniform and even to be durable and made inseparably 
a part df the steel. 
The temperature of the bath, the great length of time the wire takes to 
pass through it, the great amount of zinc that can be applied by this process 
without cracking or peeling—all these are important factors.

WILL SHEEP COME BACK? 
By E. L. Vincent 
T HERE is something about the decline 
of the sheep industry in New York 
State that is calculated to hit the lover of 
these animals a hard blow. With all our 
growth in other directions, the sheep 
business has steadily gone down. In 
1840 we had nearly ten times as many 
sheep on our pastures as we have to-day. 
Then there were 5,118,777, while in 1919 
there were only 578,726, counting lambs 
and all. In 1917 there were 587,132 sheep 
on our farms, showing that we are losing 
ground all the time. 
And yet, there are some things which are 
encouraging about the present situation. 
For one thing, the price of wool is better 
than it was a few years ago. Men are apt 
to seek investment in lines which show 
best returns. 
Again, we are learning that cooperative 
wool marketing will still farther improve 
the returns from sheep. More wool was 
sold through the pool last year in this 
State than ever before and the prices 
were better by several cents a pound 
than were those obtained through other 
channels. 
Raising Better Sheep 
Finally, men are getting better sheep 
than formerly. They are finding that it 
is more profitable to keep smaller flocks of 
good sheep than it is to support large 
flocks of poor sheep. We have not been 
as quick to learn this lesson as we might 
have been. 
These things indicate a tendency on the 
part of the general farmer to favor sheep 
more than in the recent past. If it were 
not for dogs the number of sheep on our 
farms would increase very rapidly. One 
cure for this trouble may be found in the 
universal keeping of sheep. If every 
farmer kept some sheep, the dog problem 
would settle itself. Farmers would see 
that it is a choice between sheep and good 
dogs, or no dogs at all. We have it in 
our own hands to solve the dog question, 
and I believe we are going to do it. 
Factors That Keep Down Cost 
of Producing Wool 
W HEN one farmer raises wool at a 
cost of 10 cents a pound, and his 
neighbor raises the same grade of wool 
at a cost of five or six times that figure, 
good or bad luck isn’t the cause of the 
difference. 
Revealing this difference in production 
costs in the accounts of a group of Mor¬ 
gan and Noble County sheep raisers who 
produce fine Delaine wool, farm manage¬ 
ment extension specialists at the Ohio 
State University find that these factors 
tend to keep down costs: 
1. A large flock (the average among 
these farmers was 86 sheep), since it 
requires almost as much labor to care 
for 30 sheep as for 80 or 90. 
2. Feeding considerable legume hay. 
The men with the lowest cost per pound 
of wool used in their ration 21 per cent, 
of alfalfa* and 79 per cent, of clover and 
mixed hay; growers with high costs fed 
but 5 per cent, alfalfa, 55 per cent, 
clover and mixed hay, and 40 per cent, 
timothy. 
3. Raising lambs as well as wool to 
increase the receipts. The men with 
the lowest costs raised twice as many 
lambs as the group with the high costs. 
Variation in market price of wool, then, 
is not the chief limiting factor. Profit 
or loss in the sheep business in Ohio 
depends more upon the methods and 
efficiency of production than upon the 
change in price during the season.

Kow-Kare Helps 
World’s Champion 
Ayrshire Cow 
The use of Kow-Kare in the treatment of 
diseases, and in increasing the milk yield, ia 
general in dairies of all classes. On the 
smallest hillside farm, or in the homes of the 
fancy herds Kow-Kare is equally valued. 
M. G. Welch & Son, Burke, N. Y., owners 
of a world’s champion cow, write us: “En¬ 
closed find picture of our four-year Ayrshire 
cow, Agnes Wallace of Maple Grove (No. 
25171), champion four-year-old Ayrshire cow 
of the world, with a record of 17,667 pounds 
milk and 966 pounds butter in one year. We 
have used Kow-Kare in our herd for years 
and would not think of getting along with- 
out it. We consider it the best cow tonio 
known." 
The medicinal properties of Kow-Kare act 
directly on the digestive and genital organs 
cf the cow—the milk-making function. By 
toning them up to active vigor the milk flow 
3 s increased and disease is guarded against. 
Barreness, Abortion, Retained Afterbirth, 
Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, Lost Appetite 
and similar cow troubles always result from 
lowered vitality of these important organs. 
In treating such diseases Kow-Kare strikes at 
the heart of the trouble and assists nature 
in the rebuilding process. 
Few successful dairymen now try to go 
through the winter months without the 
occasional use of Kow-Kare. Fed one week 
out of each month or for a month at calving 
time, Kow Kare pays big returns in better} 
milk yield and freedom from disease. 
Feed dealers, general 
stores and druggists 
sell Kow-Kare. Large 
size $1.26; medium size
