Sheep Dip. * & MM V Mm mm, *J** i. !_ •YvfcuT’l N.-j~ SSkSHR** Important to Flockmasters. COOPER’S SHEEP DIPPING POWDER £SS-~ls the CHEAPEST and BEST. This powder has for many years been more extensively used than all other Sheep Pips throughout the United Kingdom and all over the World. It is now used on upwards of Thirty Million Sheep each year, and the rapidly increasing demand proves it to he unequalled as a dressing for sheep. It eradicates every description of parasite that attacks the fleece and skin, and it does not stain the wool. Unlike the many dips that just kill the insects and then pass off, the effects of this wash are so lasting that it acts as a preventive a long time after application. It is the handiest of all dips, for not only is it perfectly soluble in COLD water, but being a POWDER and securely packed, it is specially adapted for transmission to distant stations at little cost, and cases are free. It is also cheaper than any other dip. Extract from the Transactions of the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland, 1870 : “ An infinite variety of proprietary and patent Dips are now finding their way into the Market. Some of these are really good, some indifferent, and others absolutely bad. We believe Cooper’s to be the longest established and cheapest, and also the most extenasively used. As shown by the railway books, it appears no less than 1,200 dozen pack ges, or enough to dip 255,000 Sheep, is sent out weekly. It is used extensively on theContincnt, and in the Colonies, accompanied by 1 directions for use ’ printed im many languages. As a Summer and Autumn Dip wc consider it second to none, and have always used it. Its cheapness and extreme solubility in cold water particularly recommend it for these purposes.” Since the above was written the sale has more than doubled. From JAMES ALEXANDER, Esq., Wanganui, New Zealand. January 23rd, IS7S. Four years ago a Merchant in Wanganui, New Zealand, had eight cases of your Sheep Dipping Powder, which he asked me to buy. Not having used it before, I hesitated to try it on a large scale, so I took a few packets, and dissolved them according to your directions and filling my Dipping Bath, which is about five feet deep. I then selected some old Ewes for the experiment, caring but little whether I killed them or not. I made them jump into the bath, and those that did not go over the head in the liquid were pushed under by a man with a stick. I allowed them to remain in the dip about the time you prescribe, and then let them walk out, which by the construction of our bath, they were enabled to do. They stood on the dripping board until dry, and were then turned out to grass, and not one of them was injured in the least. This experiment proved to me that your Dipping Powder could be used with safety on a large scale, so I purchased the eight cases of Powder already referred to and dipped my whole flock, numbering 10,000 Sheep, in the same way, and did not lose one. I dipped for Lice, which had been very bad in my flock for years ; and I have now got entirely clear of them through the use of your Powder. I still dip every year, as I think your preparation fosters the vrowth of Wool. I have not seen your dip tried for Scab, but have been told by my neighbors that is as good for Scab as it is for Lice. From Mr S. WILTSHIRE, M.E.C.V.S., Pietermaritzburg, Yeterinary Chief Surgeon to the Colony of Natal. August lltli, 1577. “ Your Sheep Dipping Powder is now well known all over this country, and it is last superseding the Carbolic Sheep Wash and other things. I find that all the Wholesale Merchants import it, and supply the stores they deal with. We now have very little Scab left, whilst two years ago we had not a sheep in the colony free from Scab.’ From C. J. VALENTINE, Esq., Chief Sheep Inspector, South Australia. I have tried Cooper’s Sheep Dip, and find it very successful. It being economical as well as efficacious, the stock owners will appreciate it. 0 From Mr T. MIDDLETON, Manager of the Hon. Robert Campbell’s Station at Benmore. “It is the best dip for Lambs I ever used.” Each packet is sufficient for dipping from 20 to 30 Sheep, according to their size and the length of fleece.
