We are indeed aware that circumstances will not always permit you to abide by these rules to the minute. Perhaps they will save lambs even if followed only in part. Use them--try them. Use the same mental effort to keep you out of MISTAKES that you use to get the OTHER FELLOW to straighten them. In closing, we have tried to make the wording simple and without too much detail, which might give to a simple matter the appearance of being complicated. We would gladly be on the job, to see the boys, "the lay of the land," the feed and water, or other details. For these, and to get the most out of your environs, your judgment is always essential to bring the total per cent for which you are working, and which we so sincerely wish you. Respectfully yours, THOMAS BOYLAN. Transcriber's changes and known problems: Some words or phrases are spelled inconsistently in the original book. These have been transcribed as originally printed: scare-crow and scarecrow, every one and everyone, and any one and anyone. P. 14: In the phrase, "lower end of skin on inside of tail," the word "on" appears to have been changed from "or" by hand on the original page. P. 25: Changed sotrms to storms in the phrase "during severe storms by reading." P. 25: Changed menatl to mental in the phrase "unexcitable mental characteristic." P. 38: The phrase "when the sign was at Taurus, Neck," is transcribed as in the original book. End of Project Gutenberg's Total Per Cent Lambing Rules, by Thomas Boylan
