ed in this way has been used for several
years without the least appearance Of
decay. This method of preservation
commends itself for simplicity and cheap
ness for farm use.
Wool Clipping.
The wool should be evenly and closely
shorn, the sheep submitted to no harsh
treatment, and housed at night for q few
nights after they are sheared, and dur
ing cold rains. Anew days after shear.
ing the old sheep, the lambs ought to be
dipped in what is called tobacco water,
a weak infusion Of tobacco, to which o
little solt-soap may be added. The dip.
ping destroys all insects of every sort.
Care should be taken in dipping the
lamb or old sheep, to keep the heads
free, so that the liquid does not get into
the eyes. One minute in the liquid is
long enough for the sheep TO remain.
Then stand it up, press the wool TO
drain off the fluid and turn on a green
plot. Only do this during a mild or
warm sun.shiny day, SO they will dry of
quickly. 1t is q good old practice to
smear tar over the nose of each sheep,
ms it is sheared or dipped in the steep
above referred to.-Maryland Farmer.
