Tick Paralysis. A species of wood-tick causes paralysis in humans and in sheep 

 in districts, but the disease is not common. The ticks must be pulled off any affected 

 sheep, when they will recover. The Siniilkameen Valley is most affected. 



Roaring Disease. This trouble in sheep has been found in Chopaka and Pen- 

 ticton Districts. Ten per cent, of one large flock w r as affected, and some died. The 

 sheep seem to become infected on timbered ranges only. The disease appears about 

 June and disappears in August, most of the animals recovering. The only remedy 

 yet found is the avoidance of heavily timbered ranges. 



Plant Poisoning. Among poisonous plants may be mentioned larkspur, aconite, 

 death-camas, loco-weed, lupine, and the various poison-hemlocks. Give milk, whites 

 of eggs, alcoholic stimulants, and a weak solution of permanganate of potash, if 

 available.

 2 fluid drams; 1 teaspoonful equals about 1 fluid dram; 1 tablespoqnful carbolic acid 

 or other disinfectant in 3 pints water equals a 1-per-cent. solution.
