To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Speaking of the remedies for worms in the head, foot-rot and diseased livers and intestines of the lambs, caused by parasitic worms, he says : " Change of pasturage and a liberal use of tar on the noses of the sheep during the summer months will check the fly during the time of depositing its eggs on the nostrils of the sheep. This disease shows itself by a running at the nose, and is much more prevalent among the native sheeD than the Merino. " The ' Foot Rot ' generally yields to blue stone a...nd spirits of + urpentine, after a free use of the knife. It can readily be eradicated from a flock by the use of nitrate of silver and burnt alum. The disease caused by worms in the internal viscera of lambs has shown itself, to some extent, in the flocks of upper Georgia. Change of pasture, and keeping the lambs from wet low-ground pastures during the summer months, and especially at weaning time, will prevent a spread of the disease. " When lambs are in good order and run on upland pas- tures this disease does not show itself to any injurious extent." Speaking of the value of the manure of the sheep, he says * " I can only judge of its value by the co npact sod of grass on my sheep pastures, capable of sustaining ten head to one, as compared to twenty years ago." He further says : ''I have found that the native sheep can be rapidly improved by proper attention, and by separating the ewe" lambs from the back until a year old.
