FOOT ROT IN SHEEP.

In reply to an article from Dr. Boynton on foot
rot. which we recently copied from the New Eng
land Farmer. Mr.. A. g. Noyes Of Lancaster makes
the following reply through the same medium -
In recent communication of Doctor Boynton, l
notice he recommends treating each foot in flock OF
sheep as carefully and with much precision as
you would a ore finger. Now with a flock of a
dozen sheep that is all well enough. especially If
they are fancy ones. But how is it in tlocks of one
to five hundred? The ''eternal vigilance" would
have to be accompanied with great amount OF
very disagreeable labor.
Now | propose to give my experience briefly in
this matter of foot root. In the first place went
through "the milf when was boy and lived
OUT" and learned something of the process of
docoring with vitrol in the old fashioned way. In
1916. after commencing for myself in Vermont, [
had flock of about 130 sheep, and they got the
foot rot, and got it badly. Well, l went to work
and worked two whole days.-I was alone i'll those
days on that flock. pairing and plaSterng, and |
remember well what miserable dirty. back-aching
job it was. Well, the sheep got better-a good deal
better-but after a while they began to grow lame
again; either relapse of Old cases or the coming
of new; probably both | thought to myself, this
will never do. | can't 60 that Job over again,
must devise some wholesale mode OF doctorlng so
| went to work and built small yard i'll a part Of
the pasture nearest the house, in which put my
salt troughS, and when the sheep had got little
salt hungry, called them into the yard, gave them
to be sure they all found the salt. As soon as the
sheep had got used to coming into the yard after
heiriSalt, placed trough six or eight feet long on
tne ground IN Lne narrow gate way anu fenced IL SO
that the sheep in going into the yard would be
obliged to walk the whole length of the trough.
The bottom of the trough should be nearly level
and wide enough for sheep to walk in. put in
to the trough one or two pals of salt brine, or
enough to cover the hoofs, and also solution of
yitriol. and a pound or two of tobacco stepped.
think depended as much upon the brine as the
yitriol, and had some faith in the curative quail
ties of tobacco. At any rate it served to prevent
the sheep from licking upthe brine. Now the sheep
must have their salt, and there was no way to get
1t but to walk straight through that mixture IN tLe
trough. 1t fun to them walk mnclngly
through it without knowing what it was for. In a
short time my sheep were cured, and remained
| cured while | owned the flock, nearly two years.
ANY flock of sheep believe may be cured of foot
rot i'll the same way. never knew flock of over

other way. My neighbors at the time advised me

THERE is NO DEATH.

There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forevcrmore.
There is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit.
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganizc
To feed the hungry moss they bear.
The forest leaves drank daily life
From out the yieWless air.
There is no death. the leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and p ass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortals bowers.
The bird-lke voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad the scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree Of live.
And where he sees smile too bri. hit,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life.
They leave us but to come again:
With Joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is lfe-there are no dead.
