The tail should then be taken off
close to the board. The most conven-
lent way to heat the iron pincers is
with a small portable forge or gaso-
line blow torch, such as is used by
tinsmiths and plumbers. Pincers heat
ed to a dull red heat will be found
best suited for this work. When heat

pressure Is exerted, the pincers viii
burn through too quickly. thereby fall
ing to scar the wound properly. The
pincers should be allowed to burn
their way slowly through the tail 80 as
to thoroughly scar the wound.
The general custom is to delay the
docking and castrating Of the lambs
until all lambs have been dropped, so
the older lambs will be from six
weeks to two months old when the
operations are performed. If not
locked until this age, the hot pincers
are to be especially recommended.
The Importance of docking and cas-
trating lambs is greatly increased in
lambs which are not sold at weaving,
time. In the fall the ram lambs will
not feed out as quickly and as eco,
nomically as wether lambs. Through
the summer, when lambs are apt to-
scour, N will gather on the tails,
Of unlocked lambs, making conditions
favorable for the development of mag
gots and detracting from the appear
ance of the lambs.
With the increasing number Of
lambs marketed, the competition
among sellers increases, and, since
locked lambs are preferred to UNI
locked ones, the a~dvisability OF dock
ing is evident from the market stand
point. From the breeders point of
view, docking decreases the trouble
with maggots and greatly increases
the general appearance and uniform
ity Of the flock.
