MORTALITY IN EWES.
TJJE.JBAST. COAST* TKQUB'L&
It was recently mentioned in the columns of the Age that a considerable mortality had taken place l on the East Coast among breeding ewes as a result of protrusion of the vagina. At the meeting of farmers in Masterton on Saturday night, Mr G. R. Sykes asked Mr Taylor, Government Veterinarian, if there waa any remedy for this complaint. Mr Taylor stated that the disease was largely attributed to the ewes baing fat and too well conditioned. It was desirable that bafore lambing the ewes should be placed upon poor country so that they would have to work for themselves. When they were put on to green feed, they should not be kept there for any lengthy time, as green oata in too large quantities was injurious. Tn dealing with the protrusion, the utmost cleanliness should be observed. It should be oiled and placed j back gently, and then a stitch or [two put in.
