The great risk in-. - currcd by introducing newly purchased stock amongst hea’ thy animate already on, the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip.

Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for this Glycerine Dip, we select the following From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In* spector. North Canterbury—- “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “17 th April 1883. Wm. Buss, Fsq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Bangiora. “Dear Sir,—l have to-day made a careful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipped in my presence at Ashley, by Mr Hayward, on the 26th March, in ‘Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward's Glycerine Dip. The result of my inspection today is, I am pleased to be able to state, in every respect highly satisfactory. The sheep were badly infected with lice and ticks, and in consequence, not thriving.. After they were dipped they were, at my request put back 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 AMD SILKY TO THE TOUCH, A U. IS u> usually brioh i amd glossy, considering the short space of time since they were dipped. Although the sheep smell strongly of the dip, there is very slight stain on the wool, as may be seen by the. samples I enclose. I found no liveilice-: or ticks, aud what is, in my opinion, highly, important, tuk tick egos were 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, bat as they are supposed to hatch within fourteen days," and as there are no young lice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that they are also dead. I attribute this lulling of the eggs to the length of time the sheep were kept in the dip—nearly a minute—which, in my opinion, is not any too long. “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully,(Signed) “ Reginald Foster.'’ • Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, Esq , Longbeaoh, Canterbury. “•April 30,1883-t The general apj>«ai» arce of the flocK is all that could be wished: for.” “ May 10,1833—1 am more and more. pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and 1 shall certainly use it next season. I will carefully note the appearance of the wool aa compared with that in which other dipe were used.” From John McOaw, Esq., Three Springe Station. . “ Timaru, March 19,1883. “I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and 1 find very sati factory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst handling the sheep 1 find one dipping has been very effective. ”
