COVERS FOR SHEEP
Mr J. Allan, of Bendrose Station, Mackenzie Country, Otago, is covering 450 ewe hoggets this year as an experiment to protect wool and sa r e the constitution of the sheep. He stated recently that he had already put covers on 420 hoggets, and the idea was working satisfactorily. The covers were made of jute, and cost 2s each. It was intended to leave them on until shearing time. The idea of covering sheep has come from Australia, where it is used extensively.
