SHEEP-DIP AS AN IMPROVER OF THE GROWING FLEECE,

OPINION OF AN EMINENT NEW ZEALAND SHEEP-BREEDER. It is a fact which no one can gainsay that tlio value of an opinion on any subject depends entirely on the source from which it emanates. The- position which Mr. Ernest Short, of Parorangi, etc, has won for himself in the -sheep-breeding world at once commends liis opinions on all matters relating to the pastoral industry to tlio careful consideration of tho flock-owners of this Dominion. Like every man who has achieved distinction -in any line of business, lie u's always ready to siozo upon the latest- and most up-to-dato scientific discoveries to promote the advancement of his calling; hence his experience of the use of Qubell’s Patent Powder Dip on his valuable flocks is at once instructive and interesting to wool-growers generally. Writing to Messrs Quibell’s Bros. New Zealand representative, under date 16th December, 1907, Mr. Short states as follows—viz:

“I have pleasure -in enclosing my manager’s promised report on tlio efficiancy of Quibell’s Dip (Powder), as used on my flock during ho past season, and I am pleased and gratified at the .knowledge that the dip lias turned out so satisfactorily. “The condition of tho wool is certainly an improvement upon even last year’s highly satisfactory clip in that respect, and it is very certain that the sheep aro, as my manager says, clean on tlio skin and almost absolutely free from ticks.” Mr. Short’s experience of the use of Quibcll’s Dip agrees entirely with those of the world’s most distinguished sheep-owners in this and other lands’ more especially as to the improvement in tlio condition of the wool which follows tho use of this valuable specific—a feature oil which they a 1-1, as if by one consent go out of their way to comment upon.
