THE MAKING Arsenical Caustic Potash Soap SHEEP DIP. mHIS DIP is now used by very JL many Sheep-owners, who have found it to be all that is required, totally destroying ail Insects, and lubricating the wool se as to cause all eggs to drop from it. The action of the soap leaves the wool in a soft, silky condition. If the dipping is carried on until the dip water is very dirty, the first rain falling washes the wool soft, c'ean, and without the least stain. The Dip is put up in four-gallon tins. Mixes easily with cold water. Each tin makes 400 gallons of Dip, and will dip (mixed sizes) 500 sheep, costing at the rate of 24s per 1000 sheep. If used to the given strength, the maker guarantees the action to be certain and satisfactory, ARSENICAL POTASH SOAP DIP VERSUS MINEEAL DIP. The Managing Director of a large chemical works, speaKing on Dips, says : " Arsenic in no manner injures wool." Arsenic in a perfect solvent state, with a careful and for years tested per centage of water, will kill Lice and Ticks, and do no other harm, In a lecture at Lincoln, England the lecturer said : " The yolk in wool was wrongly called, as it was nearly pure potash, and a wet cloth rubbed on the sheep on a hot day produced a soap lather." Potash Soap is used in the raanufao ture of woollens from the commencement to the finish, and leaves that kindly feel to blankets, etc , without shrinkage. Potash Soap assists the yolk in preventing the cold winter rains approach* ing the skin. It lubricates the wool so as to cause, when dtppiag, all those little red eggs to slip from it, so that it is not necessary to put ofF dipping until they have matured, which is well on in winter, when the yards are in a state of mud and the weather cold Surely it must be admitted that Caus* tic Potash Soap Water to form the body of a Dip, with Arsenic as the killing agent, must be superior for wool to come in contact with tht.n the coal retort, unlasting, evaporating, Mineral Dips, from gas works. In conclusion, thinking men may say these foreign Dips are most expensive, that our sheep are free from scab ; so that a plain, simple, homk«made, cheap Dip, which will exterminate Lice and Ticks is all that is required, saving much money to sheep owners JOHN HOLDEN, MAKINO, DIP YuUR SHEEP WITH MUKTON'S CHAMPION Sheep Dip.
