A Hastings breeder who' purchased a one-shear ram at the recent tlawke’s Bay fair, noticed, when he got the sfieep home to his own property that he' appeared tu be unwell. Veterinary assistance was called in, but despite all efforts the ram died some four weeks after lie arrived 1 at his new home. A post-mortem examination revealed . the fact that the fourth stomach and intestines of this sheep weye infested with a mass of worms which were apparently the direct cause of death, • It is unusual to find such acute worm infestation in a sheep of this age, especially in one that had received the extra feed and! -attention usually given to stud sheep to prepare them for the Fair. The quesliop naturally arises, wnj> the ram seriously infected when lie was offered for sale, and if so, should not the bre.edej- bear a part, or the whole, - of the- loss of this valuable sheep ? .
PERSONAL. If you are one .of those women who suffer from thofje periodical .cramps and pains peculiar to women, get ,;a bottle , of Chamberlain’s Colic: > and Diarrhoea Remedy at once. It Insures von against the usual agony, discomfort and lose of poise. If you feel an attack approaching, just take a few drops in sweetened water and secure immediate relief. Sold everywhere. **
