Mix well together and give a teaspoonful on the tongues 

 of the affected sheep every night. To prevent sheep from 

 losing their wool, keep them in a cool place, feed chopped 

 oats and plenty of roots, such as mangels, to keep the blood 

 cool. 



4. Sheep Ticks. 



Sheep ticks are best got rid of about shearing time, by 

 catching the lambs and sheep and giving them a good rub- 

 bing all over with creolin water, using two tablespoonfuls of 

 creolin to a pint of water. By rubbing it in well with a brush 

 one dressing will generally cure the whole flock. If in other 

 times of the year, it is best to use a regular sheep dip, which 

 can be bought at almost any drug store. The full directions 

 are given with the package.
