Matson, Cox & Co. DIPPING SEASON, 1884, The Special Improved Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water NON-POISONOUS DIP is a J certain preventative and cure of Scab, and ie unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, .Dice, and Parasites ■ of every description: infesting the shin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. -It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos. ‘ tosses the double advantage of simultane ouely repelling contagion and leansing the skin from filth. ITDOESNOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL - Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk xdf’Qame, bat feeds the-fleece; maintains the natural'lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth, The great risk in cnrred by introducing newly purchased atbok amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip ie not a cheap, chemical- fluid, - bat a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to beneflt'tbe' animal and the wool; aad > these ingredients are mixed by new power, fnj 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 M-ia the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 ti (&: gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons); 5s per gallon in single drams. A considerable reduction made in large quantities, for large flocks. 'Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for'this Glycerine Dip, we eelect the following : From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In- " ‘' spector North Canterbury—- “ Amberley, North Canterbury, * “17th April 1883/ Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and’Co,), Rangiora. * ,“X)eat .Sir, —I have to-day made a careful examination of Mr T. Croft's sheep, which weredippedin my presence at Ashley, jby Mcrlfeyward, on the 25th 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 ..aheap were I badly infected with lice and .itifiksr a “d in consequence, not thriving. Alter they * were dipped they were, at my 'request put back in the same paddock - frdm whence they tgime. To-day the sheep'have the appearance of having thriven'well since dipping. The Wool is SOFT AHD ; SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS ' 'unusually bright 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 fhe samples I'enclore. I found no live lice „ qr ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly Jpapbrtant, tub tick E'"3s were all dead. 'As the lice ova are nc j' easily visible to the naked eye, lam not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are >sqppoaed to hatch within fourteen' days, and as fhere-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 roy opinion, is not any too long. “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, . (Signed * Regi.valo Foster. ” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, . j . Esq., Longbeach, Canterbury. “ April 30,1883 —The general appear arce of the flock is all that could be wiahei for.” “Stay 10, am more and more with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and 1 shall certainly use it'next season. 1 will carefully note the appearance of the wool as compared with' that in which other dips were-used.” From John McCaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. “I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and 1 find f/«ery- satl factory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst handling thesbeep X find on,' tapping 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 f .the ,18th October, we found the sheep dipped'with'Tomlinson and Hayward's (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc, et c.
