 tail of sheep should be kept well trimmed, as this is a favor- 

 ite place for the flies to deposit their eggs. Any cut or sore 

 should, in the summer time, receive proper and prompt at- 

 tention until thoroughly healed, thereby preventing mag-

 by themselves and lie down and remain separate from the 

 flock.
