A Veteran Gives Practical Advice on
Sheep Management.
"Already the Landing season has far
advanced in Texas and in other states in
the lower half Of our country, yet in the
vast wool-growing region, lying north of
Al degrees, few lambs appear before
April. Thus far the little strangers have
been favored with an unusually mild
spring, yet sudden changes at this season
are to be expected, and the barns should
be so arranged that sufficient shelter in
the severest weather can be afforded
"We find among the various breeds
great difference in the susceptibility to
cold This is especially noticeable in
comparing the merino with the English or
coarse wool breeds, the former being less
affected than the latter. As the merinos
and sheep grading to that type exist in
larger numbers in American sheep folds
than others, the following applies more
especially TO them.
| eff the ewes have been wintered prop
erly the Landing period will be passed over
with less difficulty than otherwise, and
three days attention will in most instances
be sufficient to place the young lamb in a
condition to do its own part in the battle
Of life, unless perhaps it be the ewes first
offspring. As we have said before the
first hour of young lambs life is the
most important one in its entire existence,
and a time when the shepherd should be
near at hand, especially if the ewes be
young and there is any danger of disown-
ing, or if the ewes be old and weak. 1t is
best to always have small pens for those of
the ewes who are inclined toward dlsown-
ment, and to keep them closely confined
with their young for a few days when they
will soon come to recognize their lamb and
no further trouble will occur. When you
start for the sheep barn put bottle OF
warm milk in your pocket with rubber
nipple applied, for if through inadver
lance new lamb is found in the yard o.
! exposed place benumbed with cold, it car
often times be easily and quietly reeuper
ated with this Another good way to ait
! the resuscitation of chilled lamb is tt
rub it dry with cloths, then procure atuh
fill it partly full of water and have it a
warm as can be borne by the hand; pu
the new conner into the bath and rub i
briskly; this will start its blood into cir
$ culation, and your lamb will soon gail
strength enough to stand. Liquor adde'
