FAT LAMBS FOR THE LONDON MARKET.

■To. produce ;fat : larabs.of the -finest' quality for .export is ; undoubtedly the ambition of a large .'majority..of 'New' Zealand. skeepowners to-day; They, go to .vast expens?r-in procuring suitable sires and. producing "green feed to "top" off this valuable product of their' flock. It'therefori-behoves them to see that no ■"screw' is left looso.which "-might-tend: to deprive them of any of the fruits. of ■ their ■ labours. -Strange to,say,'.'however;.'that' screw too. frequently is left .loose, ',with ;a consequent.: leakage; of., the .profits which should go into their owners' pockets.': V-It'.-is'a great-pity to grow a good crop of rape or turnips and turn in lambs thereon unV dipped. Th'ere, arc always • more •.or 1 ess ticks about undipped lambs,' and' these ticks keep annoying the little bleaters to such an extent that it is Quito impossible for them :to make the best'of the food provided. : Lambs- should therefore always be dipped in a non-poisonous dip of the best.,(juality before-being fed off. :A .poisonous preparation should never be used for this, purpose, because the. latter is liable to .give; lambs of .tender age a slight check, which, i,;of;course, also, means -so much feed wasted. 'Lambs dipped according to directions in Quibell's Liquid Dip (non-poisonous)' will thrive evory.hour after leaving. the bath, and thus.put thei maximum-.'amount of profit into thepockets of.'their owners, it costs-only one-, fifteenth part of a penny, per., head to dip your lambs with this: high-class preparation.—Advt.
