Give a single handful to each sheep in oat or corn meal once a day for 

 a week ; then wait three weeks and repeat. Burn turpentine on pine 

 shavings under their noses so as to make them l)reathe the fumes. 



IX. Sheep worried by Dogs. 



Sheep that have been torn by dogs, are apt to die, owing to the lacer- 

 ated nature of the wound, especially if the skin has been stripped from 

 considerable surface in hot weather. 



What to do. — The lacerated surfaces must be brought together, in such 

 a way that they may unite ; and, if necessary, stitched. In hot weather 

 flies must be guarded against, and the wounds should be treated as 

 advised in the case of horses when wounded. 



X. Sprains, Strains and Bniises. 



What to do. — These also are to be treated precisely as advised in the 

 case of horses. In simple cises hot fomentations and the subsequent 

 application of camphor is the rule usually followed. For a sprain, to 

 immerse the liml) in water as hot as can l)e borne, for half an hour at a 

 time, and repeated several times a day, usually effects a rapid cure. 



XI. Care when Lambing. 



What to do. — The ewes should be well fed for several weeks previous 

 to lambing, so as to be strong and have the lambs strong and well devel- 

 oi)ea when dropped ; but avoid having ths ewes fat. Have a dry, com- 

 fortable place for them to run in, not too warm ; they should be put in a

warmer place when lambing than they have been accustomed to, in order 

 to avoid chilling the lamb. Allow no spectators around the sheep while 

 lambing, except the man they are accustomed to ; let him watch the 

 progress of events to see that help is given if needed.
