Fat wethers and rams are often affected with soreness 

 of the end of their sheaths, due to continual lying down 

 and the trickling of urine therefrom when in that posi- 

 tion; an unhealthy looking sore is found underneath the 

 moist scab; as the soreness may prevent their trying to 

 pass urine it might aid in causing the previous trouble; 

 the application of iodoform one part to boracic acid three 

 parts after the removal of the scab will soon overcome 

 the trouble; examination should be made frequently, how- 

 ever, and treatment given if necessary.
