The dooris about one foot from the ground ; to it leads the inclinedpath, as seen in the above figure, and this path holds justas many sheep, as there are spaces between the door sheep force its way to the door, it will displace an-other on the side, which has to jump off and take its turnwith the rest; whereby no injury is done to ewes in a highstate of pregnancy.—[C.
