Matson, Cox & Co. E DIPPING SEASON, 1884 The Special Improved Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water 8 rnHIS NON-POISONOUS DIP ia a } -» certain preventative and cure of r scab, and ia unrivalled for the complete j destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites ■ of every description infosting the skin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for itpos_ Besses the double advantage of simultane ously repelling contagion and leansing the skiu frojn filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL i 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 curred by introducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the ruffs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. is not a cheap chemi- ( cal fluid, but a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool; and 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 gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made in large quantities, for large flocks. Among tho .iiumerous testimonials we , have received last season for this Glycer- j ine Dip, we select the following : j < From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep Inspector North Canterbury—- “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “17th April 1883. i Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss 1 and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir, —I have to-day made a care- c ful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, * which weredip.t edin my preseuceat Ashley, 1 by Mr Hayward, on the 26th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hay ward’s Glycerine Dip. The result of my inspection today is, I am pleased to be able to state, s 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 J sheep have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool is j, SOFT AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS s unusually BRIGHT and GLOSSY, considering the short space of time since they were J dipped. Although the sheep smell ti strongly of the dip, there is very slight C stain on the wool, as may be seen by the v samples I enclose. I found no live lice f or ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly important, the tick were all dead. * As the lice ova are noi easily visible to ( . the naked eye, lam not able to say what j ( condition they are in, but as they are e supposed to hatch within fourteen days, t , and as there are no young lice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that q they are also dead. I attribute this killing s of the eggs to the length of time the sheep t were kept in the dip—nearly a minute — 1 which, in my opinion, ia not any too long. * “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, (Signed ‘Reginald Foster.” t Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, s Esq , Longbeach, Canterbury. t April 30, 1883—The general appear- I arce of the flock is all that could bo wished *] for.” d “May 10, 18S3—I am more and more g pleased with the appearance of my sheep ] that were dipped in your Dip, and I shall f certainly use it next season, I will care- f fully note the appearance of tho wool as s compared with that in which o'.her dips e were used.” * From John McOaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. ] “ I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on tho sheep, and I find very salt factory results, the ticks as well 1 as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst hand- * ling the sheep I find ob; dipping has been • very effective.” j At the late exhaustive trial of sheep , dips ia Hawke’s Bay the judges reported i as follows :—“ At the second examination ■ on tho 18th October, we found the ■ sheep dipped with Tomlinson and Hay- | ward’s (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc, eic.— Vide Hawke’s Bay Herald , Jun. 5, 1834.
