Matson, Cox & Co. DIPPING SEASON, 1884, The Special Improved Glycerine Dip, t Soluble in cold water This non-poisonous dip is a certain preventative and cure of scab, and is unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the skin of sod other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for itpos. gesses the double advantage of simultaneoosly repelling contagion and leansing (he skin from filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk ®f same, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth. The great risk in carted by introducing newiy purchased ■took amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip is not a cheap chemical fluid, but a blend or ingredienrs - (glycerine being one), which all tend to f- 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 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, * i • * ' “ 17th April 1883. Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, But s and Do.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir, —I have to-day made a careful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were d ipped 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, 1 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 •beep'have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool, is OOR AND SIX.EY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS VNVSOALiiT BRIGHT AND olossy, considering the short space of time since they were t dipped. , Although the sheep smell Btepngly of the dip, there is very slight ■tun on the wool,: as may be seen by the nemples l enclose. I found no live lice or ticks,and what is, in my opinion, highly important, the tick stub week ail dead. As the lice ova are m,a. easily visible to the naked eye, 1 am not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are supposed to hatch within fourteen days, «nd as there are no young lice to be seen, 1( may, 1 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. “ I am, dear Sir, “-Yours faithfully, (Signed ‘Reginald Foster. ”

April 30, 1883 —The general appearance of the flooii is all that could be wished for.” “ May 10, 1883—I am more and more pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and 1 shall certainly nse it next season. I will carefolly 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 I find very satisfactory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed.
