ODAM'S SHEEP DIP.
FLUID AND POWDER.
HAVE NO EQUALS.
ANDREW BLAKE, farm Steward to her Majesty the Queen, Osborne, Cowes, I W. , Writes 18th September 1893:—
"I have been waiting to see the result of a thorough teet of the Odsuns's Fluid Dip you sent me, and I am pleased to be able to report most favourably of it. It is fatal to insect life in any animal, t>nd as o, theep dip it is not surpassed by the best I have tried, and so easily mixed; The ■wool retains a nice, mellow touch thai is not to be felt after some dips, an,d the ewes we experimented upon (about 100) 3re not disturbed by flies afterwards. We have kept them apart from the rest '■of the flock to watcn the effect of the Dip, and can speak with confidence of its merits."

W. ROACH, F.R.C.V.S., York Road, Exeter, *
Writes 20th September, 1893 :—
"By request' l attended at j. N. Franklin's, Esq., CO., the Bus3ells, Huxham, Exeter, and 'witnessed the dipping of about 400 Devon longwool sheep with, the Odams'a Dip. I found that about a 30 seconds' immersion of the sheep effectually" killed all the ticks. About three weeks subsequently I visited the flock and found no traces whatever of any ticks ; the fleece 3 were beautifully white and the skins quite healthy. The dip is easily mixed ; it is a valuable disinfectant, and I strongly recommend it as an efficient dip."
We are somewhat late in introducing Odams's Pips to the New Zealand sheepownera, and cannot yet refer to any local users, as this is our first season. We will under take to say, however, that "once ,used, always used," and that henceforth no sheepowner giving these dips a trial will ever have cause to regret the (experiment. An improved fleece, absolute freedom from animal life, scab, and the worry of flies are desiderata not to be lightly esteemed. J?ut up in lgal,. 2gal, sgal,. and lOgal drums (non-poisonous fluid) ; and in oases of 3doz, 6doz, »»d 12doz packets of powder (poisonous). Each gallon of Odams's fluid is sufficient for lOOgal of dip, and each packet for 25gal. Remember jthat these dips we more highly concentrated, more effective, and cheaper in the end than any others in the market. Special quotations to jfcation-ownerfl dipping large flocks.
