GREAT PRIZE-WINNING RECORDS IN THE SHEEP-BREEDING WORLD.
HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS
Tho greatest sheep show in Australasia—or, perhaps, in the world—is that held under the auspices of tho New South Wales Sheep-breeders’ Association at Sydney in June of each year. Thither are gathered all that are best of Australasia’s flocks to do battle under the critical eyes of the most experienced sheep judges south of the line for the coveted honors offered by the Association. The flock which has stood out head and shoulders above all others in recent years it that of W.idgiewa, owned by Mr. John S. Horsfall. in 1905. at the show referred to Mr. Horsfall’s sheep wore awarded more prizes than had over previously fallen to the lpfc pi an individual sheep-breeder; and again in 1906 he’ completely eclipsed his previous performances. Thus, twice in succession has Mr. Horsfall achieved the greatest record of success which has ever fallen to the lot of a single individual in the world’s history of sheep-breeding. Tho beautiful symmetrical frames and magnificent lleoces of wool of the Widgiewa sheep were the admiration of hundreds of Australia’s most practical sheep men. For tho production of wool of tho best and most lustrous quality Mr. A. L. Morrison (manager fo.r Mr Horsfall) says liu has found'nothing to equal Quibell’s Dip; and after long and careful experimenting with all the best known dips on the market the results from the use of Quibell’s have been so much better than from any of its competitors that it alone is now used on all Mr. Horsfall’s extensive properties, the wool clip from which ranges from 3500 to 41)00 bales annuallv, and always brings top prices at the sales Have you ever tried Quibell’s “Improved” Powder Dip on your flocks? If not, it will pay you handsomely to do so, no matter whose brand you use at present.
