THE DEMAND FOR HIGHCLASS WOOL.

"During the last few years I have been brought into very close touch with Yorkshire manufacturers, and nothing has struck me more forcibly than the persistent call for good wellgrown wools." The above words, which are written by a well-known expert, serve to show that woolgrowers who are alive to their own interests will see that every possible care is taken to send their fleeces to the market in as perfect a condition as possible. Amongst the several factors which tend to produce good wool, undoubtedlyjone very important one is that of dipping. Undoubtedly, when dipping is intelligently done with a really good sheep dip it. acts most beneficially on the wool. For instance, Quibell's noted dips not only make short work of all parasitic filth, rendering the sheep clean, but they excel also in preventing re-infesta-tion for some time after dipping, a matter in which inferior dips fail entirely. On the point of preventing re-infestation, Mr Henry Dudding, of

Grinjsby, England, owner of the | famous Riby Grove sheep, speaks authoritatively. Writing .to Messrs Quibell, Mr Dudding states that he has used their dips on his flocks several times and cannot speak too highly of its qualityjfor killing filth, preventing the attack of maggot fly, and improving the fleece of wool. It will be seen that Mr Dudding lays stress on the fact that the wool is im proved. a feature of Quibell's dips. It operates beneficially in that by cleaning the wool and stimulating the skin, the fleece increases in bulk, softness, lustre, elasticity, and spinning qualities. These qualities are what the manufacturer wants and will pay for, as is evidenced by the fact that at wool sales fleeces dipped in Quibell's invariably bring n top prices. Mention in this connection need only be made of the sale of the < Cashmere clip at Christchurch on November 22nd, when 14£ d was realised for half-bred. Quibell's dips have been used exclusively on this splendid estate for over twelve years, which is testimony to their splendid qualities. Woolgrowers should certainly see Messrs Dalgety and Company, who are agents in the North Island, and get a supply of these valuable preparations.
