The latest sheep statistics of the world reveal a striking diminution in their numbers compared with thirteen years ago. They were then estimated at 523 millions, while to-da^they are 479 millions, a falling off of 44 millions. This shrinkage in sheep, coupled with the increase in population, at least justifies feelings of solid security and hopefulness to all engaged in sheep husbandry. There is another interesting fact in this connection, namely, whilst this diminution in sheep has been going on the yearly sales of Cooper's Dip have continually increased. Thirteen years ago its output would dip 140 million sheep. To-day it suffices to dip over 250 millions! Remarkable as this statement may seem, it is nevertheless absolutely true. It is based on the official certificate of a chartered accountant, who has recently examined the books of the Berkhamsted Factory. It means that the yearly; sales of "Cooper" are sufficient to dip more than half of all the sheep now grazing on the pastures of the world. There can be only one explanation of this increasing and universal preference — namely, that Cooper's yields the most profitable resnltsuofMtftt^ sheep dips. \ ., ', * ' Look at "West Coast Farmers* property list «n T»ge 2.— Advt. ) \
