The manger which is preferable to any other is of suchlength as to be easily moved by two persons, and is made withfour or more upright posts, and with two boards or slats extend-ing the whole distance round its sides and ends. The bottomboard on the side may be ten or twelve inches in width ; andabove that, leaving a space of about a foot or fourteen inches, there may be another board of about six or eight inches inwidth. The width of the manger or box should be about twofeet. It should have a tight bottom, with two pieces of boardrising to a point in the centre, say about four or six inches, soas to form a trough on each side, into which when grain or cutvegetables are put, they may be easily reached by the sheep on 115 the side on which they fall. The top may be left open, or aboard may be so placed lengthwise in the centre of it as to pre-vent the sheep from jumping into the manger.

The disorderis of an ulcerous and offensive character, and first appears be-tween the claws of the^ sheep, from whence it extends up theleg and assumes an aggravated form. It is extremely infectiousin its character, and I have known the presence of two or threeaffected sheep to spread the disease among a hundred in a fewdays. I do not know its origin, but I believe that the seeds ofthe disease may lie
