In raisin"; lambs for export, the advantages or goad breeding aiid a sufficiency of fattening feed arc often lost because of parasitic, filth. lambs infest-, cd with ticks or lico canijot thrive. That is why they should be dipped in Quibell's jNon-poisonous Liquid- Dip. .. Jinny • authorities declare that if this is done before th© lambfl are ptifc on "topping-off" food (hoy will 'inevrase in weight from one shilling to eighteenpenee per'head. Quibell-dipped lambs put on more flesh in a shorter period of time than ujidipped lambs. Flock-owners should test this statement; it will'pay them handsomely to do so—Advt. '
