FOOT-ROT IN SHEEP.

•Present indications point*to the probability of there being a considerable amount of foot-rot among sheep when the autumn growth;sets in, and it may riot be out of place- to give fanners a few hints as to the best means of coping with the disease. The principal point to remember is that with foot-rot "a stitch in time saves nine-" , If taken in tho early stages, and treated with a suitable solution,-it is'very easily kept in check. On swampy; land, whero it is a constant source of trouble, it is advisable" to run the sheep through ,tho trough regularly during the spring and autumn months, when the disease is more prevalent. Having decided to do. this, the important thing is to get the right mixture for tho. purpose.' We have no hesitation in recommending White's, Foot-rot Cure as being a suro preventative and safe cure. This' mixturo has proved' itself a boon to thousands ■ of- farmers all, over tho Dominion. . Mr. Ernest Short, tho wellknown, Ronincy breeder, who is now a regular user of White's Foot-rot Cure, writing under data of the 27th November, 1911, says:—"Would you kiudly send me at your earliest convenience one drum of your preparation for sheep's feet. I procured some' from you two years ago, and my stud shepherd is very pleased with same." -..'■■■•'
