PAUPERS ON THE FARM.

PAUPERS ON THE FARM.

Why keep an army of paupers? Ticks and Lace are paupers —and fat ones at that. You cannot grow good wool and good mutton —and good Ticks too. Cooper's Dip will, however, clear out these paupers, and, if used as directed, prevent them from returning for the longest possible period after; leading the sheep with nothing to do but to eat and grow fat, and yield good fleeces.

Cooper's Dip was invented sixty-five year* ago especially to accomplish these purposes. That it has well succeeded, is proved by very remarkable facts, which admit of no comparison.

It would be invidious, and impracticable, too, to publish the names of all the great sheep breeders who use Cooper's Dip, for their name is legion. And the same applies to the top prices realised by Cooper-dipped clips.

As an instance, take that great sheep gathering of the world, namely, the Royal Agricultural Show of England The latest census to hand shows that opt of 229 sheep prizes awarded, every prize-winner—excepting only two—was a .user of Cooper's Dip. And, by the way, please note that this occurred in the British Isles, where all the leading dips of the world are manufactured and pushed for all they are worth-

Please take another instance. Tasmanian flocks are perhaps the highestpriced and finest-woolled sheep in the world. According to a census taken there, five-sixths of the leading breeders use "Cooper." If individual instances were quoted, nere would be found a proof of the superior merits of "Cooper." The Belle Vlue flock is historic. Probably no Merino flock in the world has secured so many princely prices as Belle Vue sheep. "President" was a Belle j.Vue sheep, and realised 1600 guineas. And "it was only the other day that the manager of this classic flock told the writer that oi.all the dips "that had been Tistil on Bejle Yue, Cooper's had given the greatest satisfaction, and- nobody need now try to persuade him to use any other dip.

Another prominent Tasmanian breeder was. however, last season diverted from "Cooper" by arguments that a certain other dipping powder, "Whilst being the same as "Cooper's' was "more finely prepared.' " But this genaleman has recently signified his intention to return to the use of "Cooper" in future.

In every wool-growing country in the world, Cooper's Dip occupies a similar position.

King Edward, by Royal Warrant, recently appointed " thp " proprietors of Cooper's Dip, Sheep Dip Manufacturers to His Majesty, and by Royal Decree '"Cooper" has been officiaUy recommended, on account of its superior merits, for use upon the flocks of the Spanish nation.

The merits of Cooper's Dip are not only recognised by great sheep-breeders, but by rank .and file of the sheepowners jof the,, world, for the annual sales of "Cooper" suffice to dip over 240 millions of sheep. All through the period of sixty-five years it has thus constantly and steadily increased in popularity and esteem.

This acceptance throughout the pastoral world may not, perhaps, justify the assumption that Cooper's is the best sheep dip. It is evidence, however, that the majority of the world's sheepowners find that it is—that its use yields the most profitable results —or they would not thus patronise it.

Upon these grounds Cooper's Dip is respectfully recommended to sheepovraers the coming season. Its credentials show that it will be to their own interests to use it. It is THE Dip for the show ring, for the freezing works, and for the wool market.
