The courses were for the most part
of two days duration, morning and
afternoon sessions being beds Pro-
grams for the Sliest morning consisted
usually of lectures and discussions on
sheep ealeing in general, breeds of
sheep, and selections for establishing
flockskeects and feeding. In the after-
noonselocal sheep men usually brought
specimens ot their flocks which were
used to demonstrate the handling of
seep, and to provide material for die -
cession of market types, and to show
proper methods in shearing and
slaughtering.
On the second morning opportunity
was taken to discuss external parasites
and to explain how these.may be over-
come. Docking and °the? necessary
sheep surgery was also taken up. The
afternoon lectures of the second day
included the girading and cutting, up of
lamb carcasses, questions relaing
he fleece, and is preparation for mar-
keting.
At almeet every meeting inquiry was
keen as to where breediag eta* to
-establish new flocks may be procured.
