Sheep Thrive Better Greater Results. During the lambing season the shep- is confronted with the question of docking, Many consider it a cruel practice and argue that the sheep's tail is for a good and useful purpose hould mot be cut off. But the sheep that is docked is far better off during the summer months than the undocked one. The tail is a dirt gatherer and when théré is an ac cumulation of filth it attracts the depredations of flies, in some cases causing death, Breeders find it a great advantage to have all the ewes well docked. The lamb crop is always more satisfactory where the ewes have been docked. Lambs that have been docked al- ways sell for mire money and the fleece is worth more in sheep that have no dirt gathering - tail. Just when is the best time to dock is always a question with many farmers. It should be done sas soon as possible after:the lamb gets on its feet and can walk. What instrument to use is of little importance, so long as it cuts the tail ofi clean and quickly. If the operation is done whil¢ the lamb is young emough there is prac- tically no danger of death from loss of blood. 1fit is done after warmer wea- ther comes on there is a danger from flies, but this can" be obviated by the use of oil of tar on the wound. Some growers recommend searing the wound with 'a hot iron, which may be all right after the lamb has become older ore docking, but from experience the conclusion is safe that there is little danger when the docking is done at an early age, which also means be- fore flies get bad. The comfort and safety of the lamb depend much upon this surgical operation. The flock own- er and the flock are better off when the tails "are all off. Wanted To Use Front Door.
