HOW TO PRODUCE A RAPE CROP WITHOUT EXPENSE.

HOW' TO GET OFF AN ADDITIONAL BATCH OF FAT LAMBS IN THE SEASON. Ti'*" cultivation of a rape crop costs 11)011 it is essential that the gr?Wer make the most of it. If an additional batch of fat Jambs can ' be got off in the season a distinct gain has been scored —a gain which pays all working expenses entailed in the production of the crop, ar.d something more. To ensure this, ' see that your lambs get the benefit of every ounce Qf feed they con-| feUuie. "Freo them from ticks and ' lice before putting them on the , rape, and you can turn them oft' fat weeks before your neighbour, who attempts to "finish" off his stock . in a", undipped state. ! For freeing young lambr. of ticks , and lice without retarding their progress Quibell's Liquid Non-pois- j onous Dip has no equal. To dip j your lambs in this valuable prepar- , ation costs one-fifteenth part of a ' penny per head, ' and the enhanced | value of your lambs, not to speak of j the value of the feed you save as the j result of getting them "finished"! quickly, will be at least Is to Is Gd j per head. On 1,000 lambs this | means from . £SO to £75 of a gain. Can you afford to throw. away this money for the sake of saving less than £2 in dip? Never use a poisonous dip for lambs going on to feed; it may check their growth seriously. All you want is to keep them clean till they are fat. For autumn dipping of sheep and lambs that you intend to keep throughout the winter use Quibell's "Improved" Powder Dip. It destroys all parasites and prevents reinfestation, besides giving a beautiful .Justre to the wool, which always more competition at the sales.
