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 go to vast expense in procuring suitable sires and producing green feed tp “top” off this valuable product of their flock. 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 labors. Strange to say, however, 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 1 crop of rape or; turnips;and turn in lambs thereon undipped.'There are always more orTess ticks about un-, dipped lambs, and these ticks keep annoying the little bleaters 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 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 Quiboll’s Liquid Dip (non-poisonous) will thrive every hour after leaving, the bath, and tbps put the maximum amount of profit into the pockets of tlieir owners.. It costs only one-fifteenth part of a penny 'per head to dip your lambs with this high-class preparation.
