Stretches III Sheep.

In reply to a correspondent we stated Two or
three weeks ago what we considered the cause
and proper treatment Of stretches in sheep. Last
week we published very Judloous commune
ITO upon the subject, from farmer IN west
UIaremont y II We have now before Us three
other papers upon the same subject, from Hook
masters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Massachusetts,. This illustrates our idea Of an
agricultural paper-a medium through which
farmers may teach each other. In this way, az
our Maine correspondent says, in his letter. " oy
interchangng and comparing ideas we may gam
knowledge and make Improvements 10 our pro-
iesson.'
In his letter upon the subject Of the stretches
written at Belgrade, Me. Feb, 10Th, with the
snow four feet deep and the mercury from 10 to
30 degrees below 2ero," "a Subscriber" says he
has had but a single case in bis own tlocksi that
Of valuable Cotswold lamb, which was badly al
fected. Taking it by the hind legs, he held it "
a. long and as high as be was able 10 Do On
putting it down. the animal, much to his surprise
ran off perfectly cured, and was never troubled
again. lie suggests sprains from running and
Jumping ia case OF fright etc, as the cause.
| MIR. Ernest Mos1n OF Bristo, \ H., think
there are two kinds Of stretche. one durable, the
other incluble so far as he knows. His treat
mrnt is substantially that recommended by The
others. As prevenjives he thinks well OF roots
especially turnips also pitch pine boughs, boil

Mr. H. II. NJuhey has 4" been among sheet
