About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1811 edition. Excerpt: ...But, both in this country and in England, very old rams have been employed, and found to produce a healthy and vigorous stock. The same observations apply to ewes. None should be employed before they are at least eighteen months; perhaps better at two years and a half old. Younger ewes produce small and weak ly lambs, and frequently jnake bad nurses; yet it is contended by some farmers, that when suffered to breed early, they acquire a larger pelvis, yean more easily, and make better nurses in future. Supposing this reasoningto be just, which I think very doubtful; it is allowed, that their lambs should be taken from them soon after they are dropped, and reared upon a cow or a foster mother. Suckling is more exhausting than pregnancy, and interferes more with the growth of a young-ewe. We judge of the age of a sheep, as well as of all ruminant animals by the teeth. A lamb has eight pointed teeth, Fig. 1. About one year old they shed the two front teeth, and obtain in their places two broad and larger teeth, Fig. 2. One of two years old has four broad teeth, Fig..3. One of three years old has six, Fig. 4. After four years, they have shed all their lambs' teeth, have eight broad teeth, Fig. 5, and are said to be full mouthed. After this the teeth begin to break, shorten and fall out, Fig. 6, pretty much in the same succession in which they appeared: and by the time they arrive at eight or ten years of age, their teeth are generally destroyed. Again, a great difference exists as to the number of ewes to which a ram may be put. Buffon limits the number to 25 or 30. In Spain, one ram is provided for every 25. In Denmark, they admit 40 or 50 ewes to each ram. In England, Thomson mentions as an instance of great vigour 120: and Dr. Parry 146. In this...
