"POPO7UNOA" STUD ROMNEYS. Remarkable success at southern shows. ' ' name of Mr; J. It. Mackenzie, of Uuiton, is one which, in tho pastoral and agricultural world, is-synonymous with highclass stock of every breed in which he is a™ l during the \ past season his enterprise has been rewarded by scoring one of. the most rcmarkablo records of success ever achieved by an* individual exhibitor with a similar number of exhibits in the sheep section at the Otago and boutbland shows. ' At the last Dunedin show, with only five sheep on exhibition, he annexed three first prizes, one second, and oho third prize, be-. sides tho championship for rams, and the New Zealand Romney sheep-breeders' shield. At 'Gore ,show hp had both champion ram 5 1 iu m ', , other prizes, and at the Southland show, Invercargill. ho secured two firsts, a second, and a third—truly a splendid achievement when it is remembered that some of the best Romney sheep in tho Dominion were competing. It may be mentioned that at Gore and liiveixargill hoggets only were exhibited by Mr..Mackenzie, wliibh makes■ his record ail tho more remarkable. : " Writing 011 March' 8, 1909, re the above, Mr.. Mackenzie states:- "All these tare djppod m Quiijell's, and my Dunedin champion law bad 0110 of the prettiest fleeces one could wish to,seo on"a sheep. ... A good dip does wonders." . . ' We would point out that Mr. Mackenzie's the superiority of Quibell's Dip as an improver of - the growing fleece is exactly on a par with those of tho world's most famous pastoralists, who have tested it on level terms against all other sheep-' dipping preparations. v -'2547.
WHY SOME FARMERS PROSPER. Fanning is a business, and takes as much running and brains as any other business— that is, to make a success of it. Tho main reason of success is method. He does not trust to luck like, the other fellow. One thinks that ho will'be particularly mlthodical over the drenching of his cows as they come in. He won't wait to see if they are going to get milk fever or some other ailment and thus save him the trouble and cost of drenching. Instead he takes no risks but administers the . Drench every time. He has no further worry and can give all bis time and attention to other matters connected with the farm. Take a lesson from the prosperous farmer. Mr. George Cplson, Fitzroy,.' tlio wellknown cattlo dealer, says:—"Every farmer should try Sykcs's Drench. I have used it and am pleased to state it is the best drench I have ever used. Farmers who have never tried it will do well to give it a trial." Use only Sykes's Drench, because it is the best. Prico Is. 6d." packet or 16s. by. the. dozen.
