"POPOTUNOA” STUD ROMNEYS.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS AT SOUTHERN SHOWS. The name of Mr. J. R. Mackenzie, of Clinton, is one which, in the pastoral and agricultural world, is synonymous with high-class stock of every breed in which he is interested, and during the past season (1908) his enterprise has been rewarded by scoring one of the most remarkable records of success ever achieved by an individual exhibitor with a- similar number of exhibits in the sheep section at the Otago and Southland shows. At the last Dunedin show, with only five sheep on exhibition, he annexed three first prizes ,one second, and one third prize, besides the championship for rams and the New Zealand Romney sheep-breeders’ shield. ' At Gore, show he had both champion ram and ewe, besides other prizes, and at the Southland show, Invercargill, lie secured two firsts, a second, and a third—truly a splendid achievement when it is remembered that some of the best Romney sheep in the Dominion were competing. It may be mentioned that at Gore and Invercargill hoggets only, were exhibited by Mr. Mackenzie, which makes his record all the more remarkable. Writing on March 8,1909, re the above, Mr Mackenzie states: All these were dipped in Quibolls’ and my Dunedin champion ram had one of tne prettiest fleeces one could wish to see on a sheep. . . A good djp does W W?would point out that Mr Mackenzie’s opinion of the superiority ofQu bill’s Dip as an improver of tW; i ing fleece is exactly on a par with thpse If world’s most famous pastomlists, who K SAS it on lorol term, nga- . tost all other sheep-dippmg preparations.
