FAT LAMBS FOR THE LONDON MARKET.

To produce fat lambs cf the finest quality for export is undoubtedly the ambition of the large majority of New Zealand sheepowners to-day. They go to vast expense in procuring suitable sires and producing green feed to "top" off this valuable product of their flock. It th; re fore behoves them to see that no scew is left loose which might tend to deprive them of any of the fruits of their labours. Strange to say, however, that screw too frequently is left loose, with a consequent leakage of the profits which should go into truir owners' pockets. It is a great pity to grow a good crop of rape or turnips and, turn in lambs thereon undipped. There are always more or less licks about undipped lambs, and these ticks keep annoying the little rjleaters to such an extent that it is quite impossible for them to make the best of the food provided Lambs should therefore always be dipped in a non-poisonous dip of the best quality before fed off. A poisonous preparation should never be used for this purpose, because the latter is liable to give lambs of tender age a slight check, which, of course, also means so much feed wasted Lambs dipped according to directions in Quibell's Liquid Dip (non-poisonous) will thrive every hour after leaving the bath, and thus put the maximum amount of profit into the pockets of their owners. It costs only one-fifteenth part of a p nny per head to dip your lambs with this high-class preparation.*
