E. E. Cook: You observe some little
lambs in your flock have sore eyes. On
close examination it will usually be
found that the edge Of the under eyelid
rolls under and this continual irritation
causes a film o grow over the eye. This
can be remedied by taking a stitch with
white thread Just below the lid and an
other a half inch lower on the cheek.
Tie the ends of the thread just tightly
enough to bring the edge of the lid into
its proper place. Shoe makers wax can
also be used.
