This is especially so in the case o£ lambs, where the advantages of good breeding and a sufficiency ol' feed are often lost because of parasitic filth. Lambs cannot thrive when infested with tick. The aKoye' statement has been amply proved by Mr. E. Bevan, of Manakau, who on the 19th. inst. wrote:—"! am more than pleased with the Quibell's Dip that yon Bent me. I djpped 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 paj-s the cost many times over—Advt.
