Success With Sheep 
The Man Factor Important-Veterinary Inquiries 
American Agriculturist, November 1, 1924 
Imported Melotte 
W E have always kept sheep more or 
less, but generally on the same 
principle that we do many other things— 
when the other fellow wants to buy, we 
sell; and when the other fellow wants to 
sell, we buy. 
Sometimes we start with a few old 
ewes simply because very little money 
goes into them and because we know w r e 
can take a few old ones, get a start from 
them and sell them before the flock gets 
large enough for them to become a 
nuisance. However, my advice to a 
beginner would be: first, don’t buy old 
sheep because they require the best care 
an experienced hand can give them; 
second, buy a few, and when I say a few 
I don’t mean 40 or 50, but 8 or 10, and 
grow into the business. 
Shepherds Are Born 
Sheep require very little care as com¬ 
pared with cows, but that little is just as 
important. I have observed a number of 
farmers who went into sheep thinking 
they would take care of themselves, and 
soon return a fortune to their owners. 
But such sheep men usually get out as 
suddenly as they get in. To a certain 
degree, I believe some men are born good 
shepherds while others just simply cannot 
do anything with sheep. For instance, I 
have a neighbor who has good success 
with cows, but he has long since given up 
bothering with sheep and says he never 
had any luck with them. 
One must learn the sheep business, go 
among them • quietly and never allow 
them to become excited more than is 
absolutely necessary. Give them all the 
range possible. Sheep like a change of 
pasture and never do better than when 
they can roam as they please. After 
harvest time we usually give ours the run 
of the whole farm. We have neighbors 
about 30 rods away on one side and 
50 rods on the other side, but the sheep 
very seldom stray off the place. 
Sheep Rustle Their Food 
When there is a moderate snowfall of 
only a few inches the sheep will nose 
around under it as happy as can be. We 
also give ours the run of the threshing 
floor where there is plenty of seed, chaff, 
etc., and they work part of the time there 
and the rest of the time out in the snow, 
always keep busy, and come in at night 
full and contented. 
We live on a 60-acre farm in a strictly 
dairy section. Fifteen acres of our land is 
woods, so we always thought we had not 
sufficient pasture and that being a trifle 
swampy, it was not adapted to sheep. 
But while it is not ideal it is fairly good 
and our flocks have almost invariably 
done exceptionally well. It requires con¬ 
siderable time and patience to become 
familiar with the habits and requirements 
of sheep, but I believe it pays as well as 
any branch of farming, especially when 
the wool is made up at custom mills and 
sold as the finished product rather tham 
as raw material. Incidentally, if farmers 
would do a larger retail and a smaller 
wholesale business in marketing their 
products of all kinds, agriculture would be 
infinitely more profitable.— Mrs. E. M. 
Anderson. 
Questions About Horse Ailments 
I have a horse nine years old that has a little swelling 
just above the hoof. Where the hair starts the swelling is 
hard and about two inches long and about half way from 
the heel to the front of the foot. The horse is quite lame 
when first taken out of the stable, but as soon as he is well 
started he seems to be all right. Please tell me what to 
do for him and the difference between a blister for a side 
bone and a blister for a ring bone.— Mbs. J. H., New 
York. 
J ^ROM the description you have given 
it would lead us to infer that the 
animal has a side bone. On each side of 
the bone of the hoof there are normally 
two supplementary cartilages of the foot. 
They are soft and though in a degree 
elastic, yet somewhat resisting and im¬ 
planted on the lateral wings of the coffin 
bone, which when they become hardened 
are side bones. 
Side bones may be caused from a low 
inflammatory condition, or from an 
injury such as sprains, bruises or blows 
to parts. Treatment consists of the free 
use of cold baths, frequent soaking of 
the foot. The use of one ounce of Crystal 
Iodine and four ounces of Vaseline pre¬ 
pared at your local pharmacy, and 
rubbed in once a day for several days, 
may prove beneficial. If this treatment 
does not bring relief, we would suggest 
that you call your local veterinarian to 
fire and blister the animal. There is 110 
difference between a blister used for a 
side bone and one that is used for a ring 
bone.

I have a seventeen-year-old mare that seems to stock-up 
when allowed to stand idle. She suffers from indigestion, 
generating a large amount of gas. Her passage is very 
loose and her food is apparently not well digested. Other¬ 
wise the condition is fair, only she has a ravenous appetite. 
What would you suggest to overcome this?—C. S. B., 
Columbiana County, Ohio. 
T HE stocking-up is undoubtedly caused 
by lack of exercise. Evidently the 
animal has been accustomed to an 
abundance of work and her system has 
become so accustomed to this that when 
there is little or no exercise the digestive 
organs do not function as well. Further¬ 
more, it would be a good idea to have your 
animal’s teeth dressed. This is quite 
evident in view of the fact that the food 
is apparently not well digested. Bad 
teeth may be also considered responsible 
for the manner in which the mare goes 
after her rations. In order to bring the 
bowels into normal condition it would 
be advisable to give a dose of linseed oil 
occasionally. Furthermore, an occa¬ 
sional change of food would have a 
tendency to adjust the digestive system.

Here is a “colt creep.” It is made of pools and rails, an inexpensive contrivance, 
which gives the youngsters access to grain feed and keeps the mares away. It is an 
idea that can be used with sheep, hogs, and hens. Many a time, young stock has 
to go hungry because they are forced from the feed trough by the older members of 
the flock or herd.
