LAMBS MOST IN DEMAND.

Lambs for which the highest price pee pound is obtainable are medium' weights of prime quality. Giyen 'the proper hided and a-diequate feed, a sheep -owner need havo no difficulty on v . liajsinjg ;'.,Buch. lanubs. Before being put on to rape, they should be freed "from parasites by being passed through a. hath ojF^Quibeiirs Non-poisonous Liquid Dip^. -Poisonous Dips .should not be used, as they tend to give tender lambs a check, which means A'aluable feed lost and money wasted. With Quibeirs Liquid Dip, hoAvever, -lambs" 'thrrve' straight away. ' It is- the finest preparation for the purpose. The best practical men say so. ■'.'

TRADING WITH GERMANY. A matter which has '.somewhat exercised the minds of a few members of the Uradlord trade is the consequence which would follow m the events of Central Europe being entirely wiped off tho slate so far as trading Avith Great Britain is concerned. In the years before the 'war a, considerable amount of textilo business was done between this country and Germany. Nii^u^allyb.many are' beginning to look forward to the time when war will be no more, and when intercourse between the countries of Europe Avill bo resumed on something like the old linse. It is a foregone conclusion, however, that some things Avill come into play which were not operative before, and as already suggested some have found it.. difficult to belieA^e that the trade of Europe will be carried on successfully if some recognition is not given to Germany for trade purposes. Condemnation of her lack of morality is strong enough. . The other day the writer put a leading question.. to a member of the Bradford" trade on, this subject, and Avas met' by a most .'vigorous response. The attitude he displayed i.s the one which is most commonly found, and reveals that Germany is ruined ,I'or ever m the eyes.' of all' right thinking men. Leaving out of consideration altogether any .standard or morality, there seems to be little need to give any serious consideration to Germany as a trading country. Some haA'e expressed the flear that m the 'event of Great Britain refusing to trade with Germany competition Ayould be. indirectly, created Avith other' countries, and that m this Ayay a large 'volume of business would be lost ; to us. *rhe' manner of solving this problem ; by. the party to AA'hom the writer nut his question was very plain. T)ie speaker said he would express his own .views ,'thus. He .would suppose the ; writer Avas a manufacturer with six possible customers, and that he .also knew that four out of the. six, were quite sufficient to keep -his machinery running. He jrould suppose that one out of the six came to the writer's house, murdered •his wife and. family and. burned chywn his dwelling. ' Their .he said, "Wotdd you be disposed to trade with that one ?!' The reply was obviously, m the negative, whereon tlie speaker said, "That as, just exactly .my feeling with regard to Ger-; many. I am .confident that without her: custom, ...spinners, and . manufacturers m. this ...country will haye no difficulty, whatever ..in- Jveeping their . .machinery running." Leaving ■•■Germany out of the account, the world s textile requirements are too large for human comprehension, and cA^en if there are manufacturing developments m. other allied countries as there undoubtedly Avill be. the machinery of\Great Britain will have before it a herculean task.
