FOOT LAMENESS-GRAVEL— . 

 FOUL IN THE FOOT. 



Sheep are subject to this disease if kept in wet, filthy 

 yards, or in moist, poachy or marsh ground. It consists in 

 an irritation in the cleft of the foot. It occasions, however, 

 no serious results, and disappears without treatment by re- 

 moving the sheep, before it becomes aggravated, to high 

 and drv ground. If they do not improve in a few days, use 

 the following solution : 



Blue Vitriol one ounce. 



Tar eight ounces. 



Mix well together, and apply all around the sores. Do 

 not confound this disease with foot rot, as foot rot is serious 

 and contagious. 



FOOT ROT— HOOF ROT. 



Foot rot is a contagious disease. Although sometimes 

 it is produced, by the sheep being pastured on low, wet 

 grounds.
