(Ltd.), >' ' Napier, H.B. "Dear Sirs,—. ".Having heard a great deal about the benefits to De derived by dipping lambs, before putting them on-rape, in poisonous Dip, I resolved to prove tho assertions mado. for myself. - , "I accordingly selc'ct<Jd" lambs of uniform quality, and run off one-half'the' number, which' I dipped in Quibell's Liquid as directed; tho other half I left' undipped. At the end 1 of a month both lots were sent 'to~the freezing works and killed;' the ,un-, dipped lot averaged 311b. each, and .those dipped,..as. before stated, 341b.. each.■ . . .. "In my opinion the results fa'r more than justify any claims made for tho dip in this direction. " (Signed) M, A. M'LEOD." ' The gain on-tho dipped as compared with the undipped thus shows a profit of something like 1500' per. cent., on the cost of dipping.. including labour,.material,:etc., 1 a gain,; not to be despised in these days of low. price's for wool,'etc. Dip ; your lambs in ' Quibell's Fluid (noripoisonous)/ and you can count oh 1500 ,per cent.'profit on the operation as an absolute ccrtainty.'
