The Explanation. It is the Best at every point. The Best Dip is the Cheapest. Sales of Cooper in Australia this season have doubled thoso of last. The manager of one of the best known and largest stations in New South Wales, wrote 17th August last :— " Cooper's Dip has made a difference ol at least Is per sheep." ITS SPECIAL MERIT : Whilst the effects of so*nedips cease the instant sheep are dry from the dipping, and others continue only a few weeks, COOPER'S last till tbe following shearing. For this reason alone, Cooper's, at its U3ual cost of about one farthing per head, is cheaper than many dips, even if they were given away. USED ON OVER 100 MILLION SSEEP ANNUALLY.
