SHEEP DIPPING.
"more care necessary. "It is a fact," says a AVairarapa farmer, "that the spread of parasites in- sheep is caused wholly through careless dipping. I have known cases where farmers dip a portion of their flock thoroughly, and then run out of stuff. The solution is then weakened by the addition of water, and the remainder of the sheep are then put through. These particular animals may be.infected. They aro sold, perhaps privately, and then are let loose among a clean flock. Some farmers, again, dip their sheep in a very perfunctory manner indeed, and thus increase thcchanco of the spread of disease." It appears evident that tliero should d)e greater care exercised in, dipping than is done at present on many farms.
