CARE OF FSIEEP.-"Flock Master" OF
Lancaster Ounty, Pa, writes the
GermantOwi Telegraph as follows /:
.'I send you Ihe fUllJwlng seasonable
hints In regsrd to the care OF sheep !:
During the winter and early spring
sheep are ofen affected with colds |;
these, If negected, frequently become
so deep-seatsd as to be incurable, and
end in pthisic or consumption.
The best remedy for q cold is, first
place your sheep In well-v entilated,
dry stable, comfortable uttered and
second, give it any slightly purging
medicine, With 3 moderate allowance
of hay, and q bran mash, one-hfth
of which should be Oatmeal.
Colds aDd Atarrhs are not only epi-
demic, butendemie; be careful, there
fore, where you winter your sheep,
that there be no predisposing cause in
their locality and when they are st
tackled remove them instantly from
the flock. BY following these pre-
cautions, and keeping them well fed
sheltered, sired, watered and salted,
one may bid defiance to disease among
his fock.n "
