THE PROGRESS OF THE BAPTIST REVIvAL-THE
AUGUSTA. COUNTY SHEEP GROWERS ~ COUN.
CU-1HE PREVAILING DISEASE DIAGNOSED
REMEDIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FACTS,
&C., &C.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
FEBRUARY 3, 1881.
The revival In the Baptist church con-
tinues here with undated interest. There
have been up to this time siXty-ninc addi-
tons to the church. Last night there were
seventeen inQuirers, and the meetings have
been full and sometimes crowded during
all the bad weather OF The last week.
The Augusta County WOOl-GrowerI As
ISOLATION met here on Tuesday. Their
meeting bad for IFS main object the consid'
Grafton Of the disease which has been so
fatal among the focks in this section for the
last six weeks. One gentleman had lost
twenty-five, another five, another two and
twenty lambs. There were n number OF
other losses not reported. The Association
asked the professional views and advice Of
DR.. III. S. HOeshett, an experienced and
successful veterinary surgeon OF this coun-
ty. His diagnosis of the disease and rene
dies sugge>ted will be interesting to sheep
growers who read the Dispatch. 10 seems
| the disease is caused by a lack OF the proper
care during the late severe weather and
the scarcity OF green food. One Of the four
stomacbs which a sheep has, and the most
important, called the mOnyplies," when
affected by Indigestion becomes hard and
presses against the heart, stopping the cir
cuation, when death ensues. Sheep should
be fed regularly aud equally, as horses are,
and grain should not be gwen to them IN a
| heap 10 scramble over. Some would get
too much aud some too little, and the result
in either case would be equally injurious
| Accounting for the bead OF the sheep AZ
iected with the disease beng drawn back,
the Doctor said il was caused by the hard
monyplies pressip upon the spinal column.
A gentleman asked II plne-tops were mol
good for the complaint. eyes" said DR.
| Hoesheit, "turpeniine in any form is good
| il aids digestion. But even pine.t0ps should
be gwen regularly, and proporioned as II
YOU were feeding grain. Wheat bran i good
! but corn meal indigestible." A ruminanl
will certainly be made sick, he said, by eat
| ing corn meal, but crushed corn was gooC
| feed.
A gentleman present who had lost only
one sheep out Of flock Of 100. had KEEP
pine.tops spread in the field where his flocl
could get To them; had fed oats, bran, ant
ashes, and sailed regularly.
Concluding his talk. DR.. H0gshett said b.
could not recommend any kind OF oil as
purgatiye. Salts was the best. a teaspoon
iul was an average dose. Flaxseed in small
quantities was not Objectionable.
The meeting adjourned TO meet on tb
| 26th Of Maj oh, when the question OF selini
