PAUPERS ON THE FARM.

Why keep an army of paupers? Ticks aud Lico are paupers—and fat ones at that. You cannot grow good wool and good mutton—aud good Ticks too. Cooper’s Dip will, however, clear out these paupers, aud, if used as directed, prevent them from returning for the longest possible period after; leaving the sheep with nothing to do but to eat and 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 be invidious, aud impracticable, too, to publish the names ofjall the great sheep breeders who use Cooper’s Dip, for their name is legion. And the same applies to the top prices realised by Cooper-dipped clips. As an instance, take that great sheep gathering of the world, namely, the Royal Agricultural Show of England. The latest census to hand shows that out of 229 sheep prizes awarded, every prize-winner—-excepting only two — was a user of Cooper’s Dip. And, by the _ way, please note that this occurred in the British Isles, whore all the leading Dips of the world are manufactured aud pushed for all they ar» 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 leading breeders use “Cooper.” If individual instances were quoted here would he found a proof of the superior merits of ‘ ‘ Cooper. ’ ’ The Belle Vue stock is historic. Probably no merino flock in the world has secured so many princely prices as Belle Vue sheep. “President” was a Belle Vue sheep, aud realised 1600 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 used on Belle Vue, Cooper’s had given the greatest satisfaction, and 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 tiro 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 ” has 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 and file of the sheopowuers of the world, for the annual sales of “Cooper” suffice to dip over 340 millions of sheep. All through the period of sixty-five years it has thus constantly aud steadily increased in popularity and esteem.
