THE 1907 GREAT ANNUAL SHOW OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES SHEEPBREEDERS' ASSOCIATION.

A NOTABLE RECORD. So much has been written in recenc years by certain interested Sheep Dip Manufacturers of the number of prizes, etc., etc., won by sheep dipped in their preparations that flock-owners may reasonably feel perplexed as to the positions occupied in the estimation of the pastoral community by the many other brands of sheep dips now on the market. The following facts will therefore be interesting—viz.: At the sheep show above referred to—the greatest of its kind in the world—4s per cent., or nearly one-half, of the prize-money awarded was won by QuibbelJ-dipped sheep; 14 percent, was awarded to sheep on which no dip at all had been used, thusleaving the balance of the prize-money—i.e., 41 per cent.—to be divided up between the users of all other dipssome 60 or more in number. New Zealand sheepbreeders will be interested to learn that every prizetaker in the Lincoln sheep section and all the first prize-winners in the Romney Marsh section at the above show were dipped in this world-re-nowned specific. The above facts conclusively prove which dip the leading New Zealand and Australian breeders—the most up-to-date pastoralists in the world -—consider the best. The figures quoted above have been supplied by Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., of Sydney, and the standing and reputation of the firm is the oniy guarantee that need be offered as to their accuracy.
