HYGIENE. 



All of those methods by which sheep are 

 shielded to a greater or less extent from disease ; 

 kept in a state of health, and which contribute 

 to their thrift, may correctly be classed as hygiene. 



No animal has less resistance to disease when 

 once infected than has the sheep. No animal re- 

 pays hygienic care and surroundings with greater 

 profit than this one.

About 1200 are Sheared a Day in 



This Small Camp. 



For detailed information as to the management 

 of sheep, the reader is referred to various books 

 devoted to this subject. The following discussion 

 is designed merely to outline the management and 

 care that is conducive to health.
