Matson, Cox & Co. DIPPING SEASON, 1884 j t I The Special Improved c Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water 11HIS NON-POISONOUS DIP is a certain preventative and cure of scab, and ia unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the skin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos sesses the double advantage of aimultane j ously repelling contagion and leausing the skin from filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk of same, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth. The great risk in curved by introducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avpided by using this Dip. The Dip is not a cheap chemical fluid, but a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool; aid these ingredients are mixed by new power, ful steam machinery, so that a thorough consistency is always obtained. One dipping with this Dip (in mid-fleece) will sav the great inconvenience of dipping twice as is the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 b (5 gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons) ; 5s per gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made in large quantities, for large flocks. Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for this Glycerine Dip, we select the following : From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep Inspector North Canterbury—- “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “ 17th April 1883. Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir, —I 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 2t>th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hay ward’s Glycerine Dip. The result of my inspection today isj 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 AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS unusually brigh r and 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 live lice or ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly important, tub tick E-wqs were all dead As the lice ova are ncj 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 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 killing 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. “ 1 am, dear Sir, . “ Yours faithfully, (Signed ‘ Reginald Foster. ” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, Esq., Longbeach, Canterbury. “ April 30, 1883—The general appearance 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 I shall certainly use it next season. I will carefully note the appearance of the wool as compared with that in which other dips were used,” From John McOaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. “ I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and I find very sati factory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst handling the sheep I find ou: dipping has been very effective.” ■ At the late exhaustive trial of sheep dips in Hawke’s Bay the judges reported as follows :—“ At the second examination on the 18th October, we found the sheep dipped with Tomlinson and Hayward’s (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc, etc. Vide Hawke's Bay Herald, Jan. 5, 1884. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip last year at the N. Z. and A- Land Company’s Stud Flock Station realised the highest price in the Loudon market. Vide Account Sales, 1883.
