FAT LAMBS FOR THE LONDON MARKET.

To produce fat lambs of the finest quality for export is. undoubtedly the ambition of a large majority of New Zealand sheep-owners to-day. They so to vast expense in procuring suitable sires and producing green feed to "top" off this valuable product "of their iloek. It therefore behoves them to see that no screw . is left loose which might tend to deprive them of any of the fruits of their labours. Strange to say, howover, that screw .too frequently, is left loose, with a consequent leakage of the profits which should go into their 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 ticks about undipped lambs, and these ticks keep annoying the little bleatevs 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 being fed off. A. poisonous'preparation shoxild never be used for this.purpose, because the latter is liable to give lambs of tender age a slight check, which, ol course, also means so much feed wasted. Lambs dipped according to directions in Quiboll's Liquid Dip (non-poisonous) will thrive every hour alter 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 pennv per head to dip your lambs with this high-class preparation. .
