Treatment Of Sheep that Disown their
Lambs.

Few things ever occur that try a
mans patience more than q sheep that
disowns her lamb Our ingenuity in
! devising means to bring the rebellious
animal to the exercise OF her maternal
affection generally holds out longer than
we can find patience to bear with her
british obstinacv. We have tried all
the plans generally recommended to
overcome this unnatural condition of
things, but not always with desirable
| success. The treatment which in our
hands results most favorabIy is the fol-
lowing:
Into the corner of pen, where she
can have rack in front of her for hay,
and a trough under her nose for her
mess, tie the sheep with rope just
long enough to let her lie down-but
| not to turn round With Temporary
fence, made by mailing two upright
| pieces of board two feet and half high,
three pieces six inches wide, and five
or six feet long, according to the condi-
! ton of the corner and the rack TO which
you fasten her, pen up the sheep, TAX
ing care to have the fence which makes
this little pen meet the wall against
which You tie the sheep Immediately
behind her, forming there an acute
angle. The space at the end where her
; head stands should be no more than
eighteen or twenty inches wide. The
shape Of this little enclosure would
then he like the letter V placed hor;-
zontally, thus =, the head of IL" sheep
being toward the open end.
When your sheep is tied and your
! temporary fence firmly stalled in place.
the advantage Of this fixture Will be
this;
The short rope will prevent the sheep
from hutting the lamb-the narrow
angle Of the pen will prevent her from
bounding from side to side when the
lamb attempts to suck-(and if your
pen is not narrow enough for this, alter
it till it is)-and the unoccupicd cor
ner in the wide part Of the ', opposite
the one to which the sheep is tied, will
afford ample room for the lamb to lie
unmolested The lamb soon learns the
advantage that this condition of things
gives him, and makes his demands for
his regular needs with an energy as
amusing as it is fearless. When he
has satisfied his wants. he returns
quietly to his own corner Of the little
domain and goes to sleep Here let
the sheep lie kept and regularly fed.
Uttered and watered, but not removed
while she shows any symptoms Of dis
like for her lamb. AS the lamb gains
strength, it will make its demands for
its rations with corresponding demon
STATIONS of energy, and the sheep are
very few that vigorous lamb will not
bring to terms in few days in this
situation.
The plan will be found equally sue
eessful, though not as speedy perhaps
when YOU wish to adobt a lamb
