It would be ufeful to have drawings or prints of 
the animals infecting fheep: the fluke, the foot- 
worm, the giddy-worm, the maggot and the fly pro- 
duced therefrom; the large tick, the fmall tick, the 
fhab-infe&, the loufe; which may be infpected by 
any gentleman or farmer withing it. 
Great attention fhould be paid to prevent the 
tainting of the walk or fold, as it may-be the occa- 
fion of many diforders, efpecially in {pring when the 
grafs is na/b, and the fheep are fed moftly with tur- 
nips; they are very fubject to fcouring at fuch times. 
Turnips hurt the quality of the wool, making the 
ftaple thin, weal’, and hungry; and, therefore, the 
damage to the combing-wool is unknown, much of 
it going to the pinnels.—Rape has not been obferved 
to have this effect. . 
In Suffex, on the South-Downs, thofe farmers who 
have been defirous to amend their wool, have made 
it aconftant prattice to enquire of the qwool-/taplers, 
on what farm the beft wool was found? And thus 
concluding the beft rams are produced;. fuppofing as 
they buy many parcels of wool, and fee more, they 
are the beft judges, relying on them for fuch recom- 
mendation; and, therefore, it behoves the farmer, 
whofe flock is thus diftingr ihed, to endeavour, to the 
beft of his ability, to fupport the credit of his flock, 
his own honour, and that nothing but truth fhould 
appear in the difpofal of his rams to other farmers.
