[NON-POISONOUS.] (LITTLE'S CHEMICAL FLUID.) Under Royal Letters Patent. TO all Sheepowners whose flocks are troubled with lice or tick 3, the above will be found invaluable. It mixes readily with cold water, thus avoiding the trouble and expense of boiling. One gallon, when mixed, will dip 200 sheep with three months fleece. We publish the following testimonial from the Chief Inspector of Sheep, Otago, out of numbers sent in : — Dunedin, 22nd September, 1879. Gentlemen — I have much pleasure in Btating that I have thoroughly tested Little's Non-Poisonous Dip, and found it to be a thorough cure for lice and ticks. As it can be mixed and applied with cold water, it is of special advantage where fuel is scarce. For cheapness and efficacy I consider this one of the best, if not tho best, Dip I have ever used. I am, &c, Benjamin P. Bayly, > Chief Inspector Sheep, Otago. Price — 8s per gallon, in casks of from 35 to 40 gallons each ; and 93 per gallon in 4 and 5 gallon iron drums.

Tho comet's a blazin', unemployed ravin' To "Bury the Tempter," his snares, and his wile 3 j Poor wretches a-cxavin', at Old England lavin', To suffer starvation in heartrending style. The rascal, he told 'em of gold in "New Zealand," To bo found in the streets, to be dug in the Bile; Of wages abounding, and work — oh, tho villain! The bosses they scramble for men all the while. The girls, husbands all in plenty — rich squatters ; The men could have lasses as rich as a queen ; While every man's pig was just kivered with trotters, And fishes by thousands in ©very stream ; The drinks, finest liquors, " no mnl-Berry w(h)inoing;" The houses all furnished with everything rare; The climato like Edens and Heavens combining. But Bowley's returned, and can cut all their hair, And shave 'em as well with the greatest of care. Yours truly, A. A. BOWLEY, At the Old Shop, To Aro Hairdresßing and Shampooing Saloon, Cuba-street.
