TO ALL WHO DIP SHEEP.

Every sheep-owner will. agree that the finest wools in the world to-day are grown in Australasia, and that the lekding breeders there are pastmasters in their business. Naturally the great show of the New South Wales Sheep-breeders' Association—the most important of its kind i» the world — held annually at Sydney, attracts the cream of the Commonwealth's flocks ito compete for the coveted honors offered; and so much capital has been made in recent years by interested sheep-dip manufacturers of the prizes Avon at shows elsewhere by users of their particular preparations, that a plain statement of fact regarding the sheep dip which is prime favorite with the men who stand absolutely on top in the sheep-breeding world at the present time should interest every, flock-master. At the 1907 show of ihe association just referred to, more prizes were won by supporters of Quibell's Dip than by the users of all other dips on the Australian market put together, which are some 60 or more in 'number, many of . which are largely advertised and pushed for all they are worth ; and please Temember that this statement does not refer to merino sheep only, for every prize-win-ner in the Lincoln sheep section and all the first-prize winners in the Romney section were Quibell-dipped. "When you read newspaper paragraphs about the leading prize-takers in countries thousands of miles away, where the sheep shown are all of the mutton breeds, and the vast majority of flock-owners are hopelessly out of date as regards wool-growing, being users of this dip or that, kindly remember the facts just stated above, the accuracy of which indisputable evidence can be produced at any time.,
