SCAB IN SHEEP.


Somebody has said: Nothing sue.
cceds like success" SO long as there
are good result, men work with en-
ergy and Judgment; but when trials
come, and there are no profits to en-
courage effort, they become careless,
indifferent and neglccttul.
In sheep-raising this is as true As in
any thing else, When sheep are prof
table it is easy to take good care of
them. They seem to eat less, die less
and make nicer money and in less
time than any other stock on the farm,
At such times there is IA real JOY and
enthusiasm in sheep; shccp-mcn seem
never tired and attending to and talk
ing about their sheep; they carry wool
in their pockets to show TO each other,
and it is pleasantly limited that they
have "wool in their teeth" But when
the depression comes sheep men are
mum on sheep and wool topics. And
if YOU will 90 to their sheep barns YOU
will find they have gotten careless and
the sheep are doing badly. The owner
will declare to YOU that he can not see
why his sheep are looking so badly; he
will declare he feeds them the same as
he used to, but all to no purpose, he
cant understand what ails them. The
sheep can not tell, and only an old
Shecp-man knows that they have not
been paving, and consequently have
been neglected.
Scab and foot-rot always follow de
preSsionS in prices of wool. As soon
as prices begin to come up somebody
begins to ask how to cure these ills.
While these two ailments are
serious enough they are by no
mean the worst known to
| sheep, provided the flock has been
well fed and kept in good health.
They can be cured by any one who will
take the time and give the attention
and 60 to the expense, No one ought
to buy a scabby or foot-rot flock at
prices of sound sheep. Such tlocks
are not held at such good prices,
either. They are often sacrificed on
account of their diseased condition.
Had such a flock, they should be
cured, and not discounted one cent.
Were | buying, though, it would be
another thing altogether, then expert
ence and skill should be worth some.
thing to me; these We're bought and
paid for years ago, when young in the
business. A careless man. who would
allow his flock to become thus dis.
eased, deserves to be the loser. And
the man who proposes to give time
and pains to fitting up a diseased flock
ought to make some money by it.
just here, be it remarked, we need
evere laws on the subject in every
State. Australia has a law on scal
that is a model. Southern latitudes
need such a law more than northern,
but there is needed a statute on thi.
everywhere. Foot-rot depends upor
soils a good deal. Rocky and alkali
soils will cure foot-rot. Yet in Yer
mont many tlocks have foot-rot, and il
is a shame to their owners, for ther,
ought to be none there. II is due t.
carelessness there and evcrywher,
else.-R. N. Bell, in Hool Jouraal.
