the run before shearing. I got Condie to burn some 6 or 7 hundred bushels of lime which was done at the station and of the shears they went through arsenic and then on to a small yard covered with unsclacked lime which caused a complete cure. We never had the foot rot on the lands among the ewe flock on the upper run. Among the dry sheep however we are not afraid of the foot rot much affter what we have seen. I have known there to be a complete cure by many years ago in New South Wales without aneything else but pairing the hoof. I am little at home at present in the day time having four lines of fenceing to look affter and getting on well with at present the large paddock at Spur Nairn is nearley finished to put the Lingtoon [Lincoln] rams with the ewes. The rest of the others boundairers are at work by contrack verry reasonable beteween £50 and 60 pounds per mile. The dry weather never did us no harm.
