These large-tailed sheep are seen thrnushout the Lchanon. Tlic people fatten thein 

 excessively by forcing mulberry leaves and other food down their throats, so that their tails 

 become of an enormous size. To such a size do they jjrow that they often become an im- 

 pediment to the animal's movement. In these cases the natives build little wheeled trucks 

 to which the tail is fastened, the sheep beini^ thereby relieved of the weight, and freedom 

 of movement is secured. Note the charm hung around its neck to ward off the evil eye.
