TROUBLE WITH YOUNG LAMBS
Animals Should Be Trimmed in Morn.
ing When Air Is Cool-Tissues
Then Are More Firm,

In castrnting lambs, if the drawing
out of the cord should cause n rup-
ture, simply replace the intestines and
tie a Irvine securely around the scro-
tum as near the abdomen as possible.
Lambs should be trimmed in the morn
ing when the air Is cool, as they bleed
less, and as the tissues are more firm
and rupture is not liable to occur.
Rupture in castrating lambs is usually
due to n of two causes; either the
lamb is too young and the tissues not
yet firm, or the lamb has been over
heated and the tissues rendered too
lax to stand the strain of pulling the
cord.

the Daughters of 1872, an ~organiza-
ton Of patriotic representative south

AS first outlined. the scheme was to
perfect a highway leading from Chi

missionary work was done along the
proposed line OF the road by the Jack

ters OF 1872, Of which committee Miss

divisions here joining and continuing
