ties.
An impression prevails in the north
Of England. says John wrightson In
London Live Stock Journal. that sheep
never drink. and In this faith was
brought up. Water was always con-
sidered to be an important accessory
in cattle pastures. but its absence was
never looked upon a. an objection to
sheep runs. There is breed known
A. "crag" sheep In Lancashire, which
range over the extensive upland Of the
mountain limestone. that are said to
require no water: but this does not
strike . Northumbrian as very re-
markable as II fits in with his precon.
ceived notions.
Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that in his
boyhood he had herded sheep and
cows together in hot summer weather.
and been struck by the cows constantly
repairing to the water. while the sheep
never went near II, and were never
seen to drink at all. although they had
access to a running stream close at
hand" He adds that a northern shep-
herd would ridicule the idea Of
sheep ever drinking unless II was In
bad health. This opinion ! can en-
dorse with slight modification. as my
idea In the north OF England was that
sheep were practically independent OF
water.
That this is also true TO certain
extent in the south Is shown by the
practice OF many good shepherds, who
do not allow their ewes water during
the period Of CESSATION. There are
circumstances In which this rule is
not adhered to. but they constitute ex-
ceptions which may be said to prove
the rule.
To speak generally. II 10 a bad sign
when q eve drinks frequently. and
indicates unsoundness In some form.
The truth seems to be that as long as
herbage Is succulent. or is moistened
with dew. or from rain from time to
time. sheep do not require water.
When ewes are fed on hay they
should have water: and when they re-
ceive cake and hay together. and are
not allowed roots. It is evident that
the moisture of the body must be kept
on. On the other hand. II they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter. and this is one OF the best rea-
sons for growing roots on high and
dry situations.
Again, the need of ewes which have
to support lambs at foot are different
to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes.
They are called upon to supply .
larger quantity OF water In their milk.
and they must be supplied either d.
rectly or through succulent food In or.
der to do SO.
