PAUPERS ON THE FARM.

Why keep au army of paupers? Ticks and Lice are paupers—aud fat ones at that. You cannot grow good wool aud good mutton —aud good Ticks too. Cooper’s Dip will, however, clear out these paupers, and, if used as directed, prevent them from returning for the longest possible period after; leaving the sheep with nothing to do hut to eat aud grow' fat, and yield good fleeces. Cooper’s Dip was invented sixtyfive years ago specially to accomplish these purposes. That it has well succeeded is proved by very remarkable facts, which admit of no comparison. It would bo invidious, aud impracticable, too, to publish the names of t all the groat sheep breeders who use Cooper’s Dip, for their name is legion. And the same applies to the top prices realised by Oooper-dipped clips. fAs au instance, take that groat sheep gathering of the world, namely, the Royal Agricultural Show of England. The latest census to hand shows that out of 320 sheep prizes awarded, every prize-winner—-excepting only two — was a user of Cooper’s Dip. Aud, by the way, please note that this occurred in the British Isles, where all the leading Dips of the world are manufactured aud pushed for all they are worth. Please take another instance. Tasmanian flocks are perhaps the highest priced aud finest woolled sheep in the world. According to a census taken there, five-sixths of the loading breeders use ‘ ‘ Cooper. ’ ’ If individual instances were quoted here would ho found a proof of the superior merits of “Cooper.” The Belle Yuc stock is historic. Pro- , bably no merino flock in the world has secured so many' princely prices as Belle Yuo sheep. “President” was a Belle Yue sheep, aud realised IGOO guineas. And it was only the other day that the manager of this classic flock told the writer that of all the dips that had been rised on Belle Vue, Cooper’s had given the greatest satisfaction, aud nobody need now try to persuade him to use any other dip. Another prominent Tasmanian breeder was, however, last season diverted from “Cooper” by arguments that a certain other dipping powder, “Whilst being the same as “Cooper’s” was more finely prepared.” But this gentleman lias recently signified his intention to return to the use of “Cooper” in future. In every wool-growing country in the world Cooper’s Dip occupies a similar position. King Edward, by Royal Warrant, recently appointed the proprietors of Cooper’s Dip, Sheep .Dip Manufacturers to his Majesty, and by Royal Decree “Cooper” lias been officially recommended, on account of its superior merits, for use upon the flocks of the Spanish nation. The merits of Cooper’s Dip are not only recognised by great sheepbreeders, but by the rank aud file of the shcepowucrs of the world, for the annual sales of “Cooper” suffice to dip over 2-10 millions of sheep. All through the period of sixty-five years it has thus constantly and steadily increased in popularity and esteem. This acceptance throughout the pastoral world may not, perhaps, justify the assumption that Cooper’s is the best sheep dip. It is evidence, however, that the majority of tire world’s sheepowners find that it is—that its use yields the most profitable results —or they would not thus patronise it. Upon these grounds Cooper’s Dip is respectfully recommended to sheopowuors tho coming season. Its credentials show that it will ho to their own interests to use it. It is THE dip for tho show ring, for .the freezing works, aud for the wciol market.
