Ointment fob the Scab, &c, in Siiekp.— Rub together in a mortar a pound of quicksilver and half a pound of "Venice turpentine, till the globules of the quicksilver disappear ; then add half a pint of oil of turpentine, and four pounds of ho^'s lard, and mix the whole into an ointment. The method of using it is to begin at the head of the sheep, and, proieeding from between the ears, aloug the back to the end of the tail, divide the wool in a furrow till the skin can be touched. When the furrow is making, a finger slig! fry dipped in the ointment is to be d>- wn along the bottom, where it will ] fug blue stain on the skin and wool. Fio v this, similar furrows'must be drawn from the shoulders and thighs to the legs, as far as they are woolly ; and, if the animal be* much infected, two more must be drawn along each side, between the fore and hind legs. Immediately after being dressed, the sheep may be turned among other stock, without any fear of the infection being communicated. There is hardly ever an instance of a sheep suffering injury from the application In a few days the blotches dry up, the itching ceases, and the animal is completely cured. ---One Thousand Practical Receipts.
