Description
Excerpt from The Sheep and Lamb; A Practical Manual on the Sheep and Lamb in Health and Disease: With a Description of Different Breeds and an Especial Article on the Husk Worm (Strongylus Filaria)
IN undertaking to write such a book as the present we are entering upon a pleasant, needful, yet responsible task. There is no more important branch of agricul ture than sheep-farming in which the practical man can render such assistance to his fellow workers, and this by the issue of a manual on the subject alike com prehensive, instructive, and reliable. Such a work this, we trust, will be found, and one that will meet the varied requirements of the present day. If we have failed in this bold attempt, ability to write rather than experience of the subject has been the cause, since for the last three decades our attention has been much occupied with sheep-raising in its various branches, and that upon a variety of soils. The diseases of sheep have also been made a study, and will be fully treated on in this work.
