THE VETERINARY SCIENCE 
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.
