Diseases of sheep and their preven.

quiry, Members of the veterinary pro.
fession are frequently accused of
knowing little about the diseases of
sheep, but the fault scarcely lies with
them. Owing to the comparatively
small value Of the individual animal. 1t
does not pay the farmer to call in the
veterinary surgeon to advise upon the
treatment of a sick sheep. and so the
practitioner has few chances of study.

part of carbolic acid to 20 parts OF

t5) Dead lambs should be buried OF
burned without being skinned. Dogs
should not be allowed to eat dead
ewes or lambs.
(6) AS soon as lamb shows the
premonitory symptoms of this disease
1t should be taken to hospital pen
where it should be tended by a man
who has nothing to do with the healthy
flock.
ca In no case should a eve be
given another lamb to bring up II her

tS) In treating lambs the superficial
assesses may be opened and the con.

syringed with disinfectant.
Acute rheumatism is a disease that
cves not, as a rule, assume large p.o.
portions, and is greatly lessened by
he removal of the cause. viz. damp
lying and highly nutritive foods. The
removal of sheep. showing the first
symptoms of stiffness to dry uplands
is recommended. The Journal of Agri.
culture recommends that half drachnl
OF bicarbonate of soda might be given
to them morning and niest for few
days in little cake. Tie cake and
grain should be less than the sheen

be wise to stop It altogether, as con.
dition once lost is hard to recover.
Tapeworm is the commonest para.
site of sheep, most prevalent in spring
and summer
The symptoms are small, white. OBJ.
long segments are found adhering ia
the dung, most noticeable after rain;
animals become poor, hidebound ana
bloodless; the fleece become dry and
harsh from Ill nutrition, appetite
varies and at times there is great
thirst. In the more pronounced cases
diarrhoea ensues and the animals die
from exhaustion. have seen instances

quently the soil has become saturated
with the various parasites of which
the sheep is the natural host, or with
the microbes of those germ diseases
to which sheep are liable.
t2) Sheep. being close feeders, are
peculiarly liable to pick up the young
parasites which live in the herbage
near the surface of the soil, or to be-
come infected with the disease-produc.

tus.

Navel i'll is disease whiSh is of a
fatal character not only to lambs, hut
the birth of the animals. Outbreaks
of the disease also occasionally occur
among foals, the joints being the chief
seat of the disease. The disease Is
one which can only be successfully
dealt with by the practice Of strict
cleanliness on the part of the shep-
herd or other person In charge of the

II is not probable that any prevent
i've measures will entirely eradicate
this disease from an infected district,
but attention to the following may do
much to prevent losses from that
cause:
a. Large flocks should be subdi.
vided for lambing purposes. Instead
of one lambing yard, three or four
smaller yards should be provided. If
the disease appears In one of the
smaller yards, 1t may be prevented
from spreading.
