to let the pursuers 90 by. They came;

Sheep Eating Their Wool.

distances Of sheep eating their own
wool are quite common, especially Oar
ing the latter part of the winter and
early spring, Some have thought the
cause resulted from the presence Of small
parasites--as minute as the red spider Of
some flow ering plants-which produce An
irritation, and to allay this the sheep ac-
quired the habit of biting its own skin,
and thereby eating its own wool, 1t is
generally believed, however that the
habit is analogous to that Of hens eating
their own feathers, and OF the abnormal
appetite of COWS for cid bones, wooden
rags, etc, and is caused by an exhaustion
of the phosphate in the soil, Old pas
lures and fields that have been long crop
ped, are deficient in these elements, hence
the absence Of them in the feed, and con.
sequent want of them by the animals, As
Il preventive, mix Il small quantity OF
bone meal with corn meal, aud give them
an occasional feed, sulphur, also, RaS
been found to be preventive of the
habit, and many farmers keep their stock
constantly supplied with it. 1t no ot"b'
