“In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.”
So said Abraham Lincoln in 1854 – almost a century ago.
The words are prophetically significant in 1952, when our government seems bent on constant interference with our economic life.
In 1854 the government was helping people to help themselves by throwing open new territories for settlement, promoting the China trade, and initiating good relations with Japan. Federal expenditures that year were about $60,000,000, and a little less than Federal income.
If our 1952 government would confine itself to projects which individuals can’t handle, we would avoid Federal deficits on the heels of multi-billion-dollar budgets. The Great Emancipator believed in economic freedom as well as personal freedom. We’d do well to heed his advice. Lambs Need Special Care Lambs born in Wisconsin’s chilly weather early this spring will need extra warmth, and one way to keep them warm is to use heat lamps, Art Pope, sheep specialist at the University of Wisconsin says. You can often ward off pneumonia in newborn lambs by using artificial heat in the lambing pens. Pneumonia is the principal killer of newborn lambs.
Pope recommends an infared, 250-watt heat lamp, placed about three and a half feet over the pen. He says it’s best to shield the lamp while it is hot.
Pope points out that this type of lamb brooder is easily moved and is available to the lamp as soon as it is born. It can be used for pigs and chicks, as well as lambs.
