know of fields where ewes always lie along the old fences seeking 

 shade. There is a strip of very rich, rank grass along these fences. 

 This grass is deadly to lambs and dangerous to ewes because of the 

 parasites that it harbors. The lamb is often hungry. He lies down 



a little while, then jumps up, goes a little way and nibbles the grass. 

 He takes in the germs and perishes from them in due time. This, if 

 there was no other reason, would lead me to condem the practice of 

 allowing ewes to shade along fences.
