LAMBING EWES
TEA AS A STIMULANT. SUCCESS OF RECENT TRIALS. A recent publication entitled “Cattle, Sheep and Horses,” by Frank T. Barton, M.R.C.V.5.,, recently to hand, stresses the value of tea as a stimulant for. ewes after lambing. Every shepherd has some nostrum or other for the various complaints affecting sheep. Doubtless many of the remedies which shepherds applied and apprbved are useful for certain purposes, but it is impossible to accept any given remedy as capable of working the marvellous results very often claimed for it. The recuperative powers of tea for sheep and lambs are well-known to many .flockmasters, and this is recommended as one of the simplest of remedies, from half to a pint of strong tea being given two or three times daily, or even . oftener, if thought necessary. It is a valuable restorative for ewes after lambing and one that is easily prepared. If a ewe continues to be in pain a couple of drachms of chlorodyne can. be added to the tea, though the chlorodyne should not be given more than three times daily. Epsom salts, powdered nitre, gentian, sulphate of iron and salt are generally used by shepherds.
