KEEPING SHEEP AT PASTURE
Animals Should Have Free Access to
Water at All Times--Pine Tar
is Excellent Fly Cure.

Sheep do not require as much water
as cattle, but they should have access
to water when they do want 1t. When
the weather Is dry and the nights
cloudy, when no dew falls, they may
suffer II not watered. II there is no
stream Of water In the pasture the
dock should be driven to water once
daily.
The fly will make Its appearance In
midsummer. The fly aims to deposit
Its eggs within or close to the nostrils
OF the sheep This is accompanied by
no pain to the sheep; the eggs hatch
In a few weeks and the little worm
ascends the nostrils making the poor
animal almost wild with nervous dis

The best remedy Is little pine tar

A minute mite Is the cause Of con.
tagious disease affecting the legs Of
fowls. turkeys, pheasants, patridges
and cage birds. According to some
authorities It sometimes affects the
comb and beak also. The mites exca-
vate places under the skin where they
live and breed.
This very common disease is easily
recognized by the enlarged roughened
appearance 1t gives the foot and
shank. The disease Is present In most
focks unless especial care has been
taken to exclude it. 1t Is slightly con
tagious, but usually only few birds
In flock appear to be infected.
