1 could wifti the intelligent farmer would confider 

 thefe truths with attention, and not negle(fl a re- 

 medy which is cheap and always at hand. 



Lisle, in his book of hufbandry, informs us of 

 a farmer who cured his whole flock of the Rot, by 

 giving each fheep a handful of Spanifh fait, for five 

 or fix mornings fucceflively. The hint was pro- 

 bably taken from the Spaniards, who frequently 

 give their fheep fait to keep them healthy. 



On fome farms, perhaps the utmoft caution can- 

 not always prevent the diforder. In wet and warm 

 feafons, the prudent farmer will remove his Iheep 

 from the lands liable to rot. Thofe who have it 

 not in their power to do this, I would advife to give 

 each Iheep a fpoonful of common fait with the 

 fame quantity of flour, in a quarter of a pint of 

 water, once or twice a week. 



When the rot is recently taken, the fame remedy, 

 given four or five mornings fucceflively, will in all 

 probability efi^e6t a cure. The addition of the 

 flour and water will, in the opinion of the writer of' 

 this, not only abate the pungency of the fait, but 

 difpofe it to mix with the chyle in a more friendly 

 and efficacious manner.
