How to Know It. 
The sheep is restless and constantly rubbing itself against posts and 
other objects it can get near. It bites itself with its teeth, and scratches 
itself with its hoofs. Soon the fleece becomes ragged and begins to fall 
out, and the animal appears wretched and unsightly, and at length dies. 
A BAD CASE OF SCAB. 
What to Do. 
The remedies are both liquid and oily. A good dip, and one re. 
garded in England as most effective, is the following; 
Uo. 1. 3 Pounds arsenic, 
3 Pouuds pearl ash, 
3 Pounds sulphur, 
3 Pounds soft soap. 
Mix in ten gallons of boiling water, stir, but avoid the fumes, and add 
ninety gallons of cold water. Prepare a tank that will easily allow a 
sheep to be dipped, having a slanted, slatted drain at the side, tight bot- 
.torn underneath to allow the drip to run back. Dip the sheep, back 
down, being careful not to allow the head to enter the poisonous mixture, 
letting the animal remain one minute. Lift on to the slats and rub and 
squeeze the wool, until pretty well drained, and place iu a yard until 
dry. When dry, go over the flock again, as to the heads, with the foW 
lowing : 
1 Pound mercurial ointment 
6 Pounds lard, 
1 Pound rosin, 
X Pint oil of turpentine.
