excretlng certain Impurities OF the
blood. Thus one OF the organs Of ex-
erection has been crippled aud leaves the
other organs oyertaxed, hence disease.
To Illustrate; The sheep has caught q
severe cold. The pores OF the skin are
closed aud this cold has settled on the
lungs Then we find crippled lung
trying to perform two functions, hence
a dlsagreeable breath. The cad ny sees
the opportunity. her egg is soon depos-

and away he goes for the inner cavi-
ties. a sure case Of grub email

when the sheep was first attacked
would have stopped all trouble and
driven the fly away. Again this same
feyered lung causes sheep TO feel
stopped up and become short Of breath.
The dampest. coolest place Is where you
VIII find him, just the place TO con-
tract the lung worm. II gets full con-
troll before you are aware Of It's pies
ence. The best way 10 prevent this Is
by shutting sheep away from such
places and keeping salt well saturated
with turpentine before them AL the
time.
And so we might talk Of the stomach
worm the bowel trouble and other dis
eases, and the whole trouble rests as
faults Of our own In not understanding
the causes. preventlves and remedies.
But we have wandered away from the
subject. breeding OF this mutton lamb.

October, so that by the 2Oth OF March
the lambs will begin to come. Then
when the first warm days OF April come
they can begin to nip the rye and the
timothy that should be left In the fall
for early pasturlng.
Kidding THE FLOCK OF PESTS
But before the last warm days OF
fall are past get the flock into an en-
closure and see about those pests, the
sheep tick and the paper skin, for you
cannot well afford to support ticks on
such dandy food as blood drawn from
all portions OF the body Then again,
the sheep have no rest and are contin-
ually rubbing and pulling wool, and you
must be content with from one 10 two
pounds less per sheep In fleece 10 pay

tick and do all that dipping can do

every case rout the stomach worms.
The Nodular disease or small intestine
worm, after he is well located. becomes
very difficult to remove. II is said by
good authority that the reason a Kent
or ROmany Marsh sheep was never
known TO be bothered by either OF these
diseases In his homeland Is because he
is raised upon the salty swamps near
the ocean, and his system Is so thorough
ly saturated with salt that, although
the eggs that hatch TO make this worm
are layed upon the grass and properly
eaten by sheep. the salt in the system
will destroy Il before Il Is able TO ma,

are not only preparing your sheep tc
bear you a better fleece, but to winter

pests before the lamb is born, for lamb;
