Mr B. Foster, Inspector of Sheep for the North Canterbury district, has given the following report on the result of the trial of Tomlinson and Hayward’s glycerine dip :—“I have made a careful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipped, in my presence, at Ashley, on March 26, in Tomlinson and Hay ward’s glycerine dip. The result of my inspection is, I am pleased to be able to state, in every rtspect highly satisfactory. The sheep were badly infested with lice and ticks, and in consequenee were not thriving, After they were dipped they were, at my request, put hack in the same paddock from whence they came. To-day the sheep have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The wool is soft and silky te the touch, and is unusually bright and glossy considering the short space of time since they were dipped. Although the shee.p smell very strongly -of the dip there is very little ataib in'the wool. I found no live lice or ticks f and, what is in my opinion highly important, the tick eggs are all dead. As the lice ova are not easily visible to the naked eye I am not able to

, say what condition they are in ; but as they are supposed to hatch within four- , teendeys, and as there were no young ' lice to be seen, it may I think be taken . 'for granted that they are all dead. 1 attribute this killing of the eggs to the length: of tithe the sheep were kept in the dip~-tlear]y a minute, which in my opinionis not any too long.” Siialutary remarks were made by a Magistrate at Sydney recent'y to a nuanttuiti who charged a prisoner with , ; hivih£;b6endno of, three men who had rpbtmdylum of sixteen LX notea The hadlately come from Dubb ) iW&rftwdMv-- where, he intended spending a ■looking his money down, ay: evening was knocked id, 'ln his pocket, besides ehteltt he was relieved, ifor ,LIBO.
