LAMBING TIME

SIR,—Ewes in lamb can be terribly hurt by a merely playful dog. Widespread instruction of owners in the technique of training their dogs has done much to spotlight this danger and to enable dogs to be controlled while they are with their owners.

As lambing time is here again, may we ask all to help by not allowing dogs to wander alone by day or night.—Yours faithfully, R. HARVEY JOHNS
