HOW TO PRODUCE A RAPE CROP WITHOUT EXPENSE.

HOW TO GET OFF AN ADDITIONAL BATCH OF FAT LAMBS IN THE SEASON. The cultivation of a rape crop costs money, therefore it is essential that the grower make the most of it. If an additional batch of fat lambs can bo got off in the season a' distinct gain has been scored—a gain which pays all working expenses the production of the crop, and something more. To ensure this, see that your lambs get the benefit of every ounce of feed'they consume. Free them from ticks and lice before putting them on the rape; and you can turn them off fat weeks before your neighbour who attempts to "finish" off his stock in an undipped state. '.

For freeing young' lambs of ticks and lice without retarding their progress, Quibell's Liquid Non-Poisonous Dip has no equal. To dip your lambs in this valuable preparation costs one-fifteenth part of a penny per head, and the enhanced value of your lambs, not to speak of the value of the feed you save as the result of getting them "finished" quickly, will be at least Is. to Is.; 6d. per head. On 1000 lambs this means from £50 to £75 of a gain. Can you afford to throw away thjs money for the sake of saving less than £2 in dip? Neve,r use a poisonous dip for lambs going on to feed; it may cheek their growth seriously. All you want is to keep them clean till they are fat. For Autumn dipping of sheep and lambs that you intend to keep throughout the winter use Quibell's "Improved" Powder Dip. It destroys all parasites and prevents roinfestation, besides giving a beautiful lustre to the wool, which always means more competition at the sales.
