How Parasites Spread in Sheep.

The following is an extrac t from a paper recently read bj' Mr Williams, the well--3 known stock inspector of South Australia c before the Mount Gambier branch of the f Agricultural JUireau : — "'An instance • showing how rapidly lice W:ll spread from [. infected to clean sheep was recently brought uneler tho writer' -s notice. An infecU'd animal got into a puldoek among twenty clean sheep, and in fifteen days. ■ all were infected. Another case, showing I how well tlippcd sheep rciufiineel free from - the attacks of the louse can c uueler notice s at Millicent, where about ;en long wool , sheej) that had been dipped in Cooper's Dip were in the local pound with badly ' infested sheep for over a fortnight, and ' remained quite clean, thin proving the advantage of using a dip the properties of i which will remain in the wx>l and render 1 it objectionable to all parasites." lie marks: Thcs-e lasting properties ol • Cooper's Dip, which alone render it b> • far the cheapest sheep dip in the world i will be fully realised by all who apply it " thoroughly, according to the simple elirec- ; tion.» for use which are punted on each packet. Jn addition to the lasting properties of ■ Cooper's are its beneficial eileets upon > the skin, which react v >on the wool, i Shoving that these are no: mere state- ■ menis, the following facts iuay be emoted . — At the last Koy il Show (England) 91* out of a total of 1-1.3 sheep which secured . prizes were Cooper-dipped At the last, 1 great Sydney Sheep Show there were 40 Cooper-dipped pme taker against only 37 dipped in all other preparations put togc'.her. At the last Australian Sheep Breeders' Show. Melbourne, Coopcr-elip-ped ihecp took ;'»7 prizes, against 43 by all other proprietary dips put together. The owners of one quartei of the sheep in existence upon the earth useel Cooper':i Dip last season. The special treat ment am cave bestowed in the manufacture of the original rendei' it a wholly distnu fc prepaiation from its innumerable imitations — the aids oi analysis notwithstanding. Not a single one of the>(- imitation^ car compare with it. a.i id each sea-on adds v new fuilmv to their Jl -t- — Ad\t.
