MORTALITY IN SHEEP.
The great mortality that has existed this year amongst yonng sheep has caused some of the flockowhers of this district (says the Colne Herald ) to enquire into the cause of depth. It has been ascertained that death is the result of worms, which are to be found in thousands in the throat and lungs. The worms are very small and wiry, and can only with difficulty be detected. Sheep affected with worms have a slight cough like a hnllock affected with plenro. Some large sheep owners are trying turpentine as a remedy.
