SORE MOUTH.
The lips of sheep sometimes become suddenly sore in the winter, and swell to the thickness of a man’s hand. The malady occasionally attacks whole flocks, and becomes quite fatal. It is usually attributed to noxious weeds cut with the hay.
Treatment. Daub the lips and mouth plentifully with tar.
TICKS.
The treatment necessary as a preventive against these insects, and a remedy for them, has already been indicated under the head of “[Feeding and Management],” to which the reader is referred.
