DEATHS AMONG LAMBING EWES AND CUTTING AND TAILING LAMBS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — In reading the characteristic letter of your correspondent, Mr Jackson, I notice thab he is under a false impression as to what I meant when I spoke of the permanent incisor teeth of Bheep. He states that I wished to make people believe that Bheep m New Zealand have twice as many teeth as those m the Old Country. Now, what I wished to explain to the medical gentlemen of Ashburton was the fact that the early maturing principle, which has now become hereditary m certain breeds of sheep, in fluences the teeth, along with the rest of the animal structure, to such a degree that at the age when a sheep ought only to be what is oalled a four-tooth, we often find six teeth ; and when the animal ought to be a _— .six-tooth sheep, we often find the whole of the eight permanent teeth fully developed, lam aware that Mr Jackson told us last year, that the cause of deaths among fat ewes carrying twins was "dry grass and the east wind." But then he, some years previously, told us through the medium of the Weekly Press, that it was the "wind -.. and the land" that caused the deaths m question. I trust Mr Jackson will, m his next letter, explain to us why ewes m store condition are not injuriously affected by " dry grass and east winds," or " the wind and the land." Your correspondent's re k-»_ marks on cutting and tailing lambs gives me J an opportunity of saying something on that / subject which "may be of u-;e to new be gimierß with sheep, who may not be beyond taking a hint from one'~who has had ample, opportunities of proving the truth of what be asserts. Tbe sooner lambs are -cut and tailed after they are fourteen days old the better. /I have, however, nut and tailed lambs from & week old to six weeks old, with perfect safety. Lambs should never be operated^upon when their stomachs are full of green herbage of any sort. When it may uot be possible to fetch them into the yard off hard dry feed, they ought to be kept for half a day m some enclosure away from feed altogether. Their mother's milk will not hurt them. No medical man of sound mind would operate on a human subject who had just risen from enjoying a heavy dinner ; and the farmer who has the safety of bis lambs at heart should treat them with equal consideration. To insure the maximum of safety, lambs' tails should be left four inches loug. There is an ex cellent physiological reason for this. But I will nob enter into an explanation of it here, m case Mr Davidson might contract lock-jaw ' through laughing at it, and our " first parent " get his shiu bones peeled again by running against the wheel- barrow. 1 never used any substance on the wounds made at marking time. If I did, I would certainly favour the use of carbolic oil as against turpentine. But my experience, which has been pretty extensive, teaches me that Nature's cure, the blood, is, m these colonies, superior to any other remedy that could be applied. When lambs are botched by an inexperienced operator, with a blunt knife, some of them will die after his clumsy " manipulation, though they had every other advantage under the sun. Cutting and tailing is a duty which no wise farmer will ever hurry through. In order that the work may be done well, and the lambs properly mothered afterwards, plenty of time is required. To drive eweß and lamb 3 some miles immediately after the work is over, is most inhuman. Owner or shepherd should before night closes m put the mob operated npon more or less together, so that the ewes may have every chance to pick up their lambs again. — I am, etc., D. Oliver.

AVER'S PILLS, for Biliousness and Indigestion



NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, j Cured by the Use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Head the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above : "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly effected that I feared even to go from one room to another, on account of the strange ob- *s that appeared to flit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, afr last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health- restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses." AVER'S Sarsaparilla \ With Highest Awards at the World's Great Expositions.
