POISONOUS AND NON-POISONOUS. 1 3JEALTEY FLOCK. IMPROVED CLIPv STUDY YOUR POCKET. In introducing this Dip to the fljok-ownera of this colony we are not under the disadvantage of askiDg them to accept a new nostrum, or to Iry.a preparation that is nob well known and trusted in other lands. The Odams Company was formed in England over half a century ago from a body of progressive English farmer J Who saw that tiheir elses as a class had certain xeeenrchVs to, make and certain problems to lolve in the management of their f«ms and stock, which they wibh their practical experience could better grapple with than the men of theory and fireworks, who can always compound \an infallible preparation ' for every contingency, 1 and when their prepara-' tions have signally failed tell you very glibly why.* The Od&ms Company, whilst calling to Us counsels men of high scientific attainments, took great care to see that its board of directors was composed of farmers and flock-owners of acknowledged reputation and experience, and the board bo formed continues today, and includes many of tho beat breeders in England. Amongst the first to recognise the sueceis of this company were the stewards of the Eoyal farms, and for nearly 50 years tho Odams Company have catered for the Queen and subsequently the Piince of Waleß and other royal breeders. - . References might be given to any flook-owner jf repute in the old country, bub this being the Brat New Zealand seaeou no local testimonials can bo produced for Od&ms's Dips, although for. many years Mr John Grigg, of LoDgbeach, has used Odams's superphosphates with unvarying luccees, importing some hundreds of tons for his well-known estate. The lute Director of the Sokool of Agriculture and some of the local manure companies appreciate the value of Odanis'fl preparation*, and utilise them »ith their own to raise the standard of their brands. Having, therefore, no local testimonials for these, Dip*, we were obliged to resort to analysis, and as we did. not oare to draw com•pariions with any but tho best-known preparations, we .purchased a packet of the poisonous -powder Dip which has the largest sale in Austfalaiia and sent ib with a packet of our own to Professor Black for analysis and reporb. The result is attached, the Dips being distinguished by the-ietters "O" . (Odams) and "C" (the competing Dip). Flock-owners will see that the iagredients most deadly to inseob life preponderate in the Odams Dip", 'whilst ammonia, which wonld have a tondenoy to harden the staple and have a harsher effect' on tEe fleece, exists only in a- diminished quantity. The practical result would be that the n O"'Dip would give greater immunity from ticks with less harshness and drastic effects on tho wool. Nexb week we will append, if the «naly»ia v ready, ,a comparison test between Odams's Fluid, Non-poisonous Dip and the bestknown make of similar preparations in use in this colony. - '• University Laboratory, " Dunedin, September 22, 1895. fl Manager 'Buckeye' Company.
