THE VALUE OF DIPPING THE LAMBS. "Dipping properly carried out repays its cost many times over." So wrote the Chief of the Live Stock Division of Uio Department, of Agriculture recently. This is especially so in the case of lambs, where the advantages of good breeding and a sufficiwicy of feed are often lost because of parasitic -filth. Lambs cannot. thrive when infested with tick. The above statement has been amply proved by Mr. 11. Bevan, of Jlanakau, who oti the 19th inst. wrote:—'"l am more than pleased with the Quibell's Dip that you sent me.. I dipped four hundred lambs, and I reckon It has put at least 2s. per head on them. I inspected them carefully after dipping, and could not find one tick alive." Dipping the lambs in Quibell's Non-Poisonous Liquid Dip pays the' cost many times over.—Advt.
