TROUBLE IN LAMBS.

An " Old Flock-owner "writes : During my journeys in various parts of this district I have noticed that this autumn many of the lambs, particularly the Linrolns, are scouring and not doing well and in some cases dying. The cause is probably the presence of internal worms gathered from infected pastures, either in the lungs or the intestines. The usual practice is to drench them either with turpentine and milk or with some patent drench of which the basis is turpentine, but, like most patent medicines, charged for at champagne price. The process is a tedious one and not unattended by danger, for nothing is easier than to choke a lamb. When I kept sheep I used to find it preferable to allow them to take their own doses of turpentine in a perfectly safe way. After shutting them up for a night without food I used to throw into their yard green branches of pinii9 in3ignus and let them eat the needles which are largely charged with turps. Three doses of this at intervals of a week usually worked wonders. The lambs ceased to cough and to scour and rapidly began to pick up condition enough to enable them to face the winter months in safety.
