erroneous, and that experience proves that the Iambs 

 born of sheep which had been aifected with the natural 

 daveUe, or of those which were inoculated during 

 pregnancy, do not acquire an immunity thereby from 

 the malady*." 



The directions which have been given in our 

 fourth chapter for the management and treatment of 

 sheep infected with the natural disease, are equally 

 applicable to those which have been ovinated, should 

 the symptoms assume an aggravated fonu. Under 

 ordinary circumstances, however, attention to the feed- 

 ing and guarding of the patients against the vicissitudes 

 of weather are alone required to secure a successful 

 result. Captain Carr says that 



" 1st. Care must be taken to provide them [the sheep] with airy 

 and roomy stabUng, so as to prevent them as much as possible from 

 crowding together, which is very apt to induce a mahgnant state of 

 the disease, even when at first disposed to assume a mild form. 



" id. It is absolutely necessary to keep them carefully guarded 

 against cold, and especially against thorough draughts. 



" 3d. Although, during warm and dry weather, both of the 

 above-mentioned evils are avoidable, by placing the sheep during the 

 day-time in a dry, sheltered, and not too distant paddock ; still it 

 must be remembered, that exposure to rain, dew, or fog, would prove 

 highly dangerous to them. They must, therefore, be housed at night, 

 and when housed, fed (in addition to good hay) with coarse meal, 

 some of which ought also to be mixed with the water they get to 

 drinkf." 



To these instructions we will append those given for 

 the management of the animals by Hurtrel D'Arboval, 

 who likewise describes the ill consequences that occa- 

 sionally arise fi-om neglect. We prefer these quotations
