Ulj)l&llW P U2&UMM, Mil POISONOUS AND NON-POiSONOUS. HEALTHY FLOCK. IMPROVED CLIP. STUDY YOUR POCK3T; to. introducing tbis Dip to tha flook-ownera of this colony we are not under the disadvantage of asking them to accept a new nostrum, or to try a preparation that is not well known and trusted in other lands. The Odnms Company was formed in England over half a century ago i from a body of progressive English farmn'3 who saw that their class as a class had certain researches to make and oei'tam problems to solve in the management of- their farms and stock, which they with tbeir practical experience could better grapple with <Lun tho men of theory »nd fireworks, who can- - always compound ah infallible preparation for every contingency, and when their preparations have signally failed tell you very glibly why. The Odwns Company, whilst calling -to its counsels men of high scientific :' attainment?, took great care to ccc that' M board of directors was composed of farmers and fleck-owners of acknowledged reputation end fxperieuce, and the board so formed continues today, and includes many of tbe beet breeders in England. Amongst tbe flreo to recognise' the sucoees of this company were He stewards of the Rojrol frrms, »nd for nearly 50 years the Odtun* Company have catered for the Queen and subsequently the Piinoe of Wales and other royal breeders. References might be given to any flock-owner cf repute ia the old country, but this being the first New Zealand season no local testimonials can be produced for Od*im'sDips, although for many years Mr John Gtigg, of Longbeach, has nsed Odams's superphosphate with unvarying success, importing some hundreds of tons for his well-known ■ estate. The late Director of the School of Agriculture and Rome of the lockl manure companies appreciate the value of Odftms's preparation*, and utilise them with their own td raise the standard of their brands. Having, therefore, no looal testimonials . for these Dips, we were obliged to ies6t(P*to analysis, and as we did not care kndraw'comp&ri»on» with any bat the Deat-knovyn'^rcjiara-tiono, we purchased a packet of the poisonous powder Dip wbii-h has the largest sale in Australia acd sent it with a packet of oue own to Piofesser Black for annlysis and report. The •restft is attached, the Dips being distinguished by the lvttets "0" (Odams) and " C "••(the'^JompetiMg Dip). Flook-owners will ccc that the ingredients most deadly to insect life preponderate ia "the Odams Dip; whilst ammonia, which would have a tendency to harden the staple and bave a harsher effecb en the fleece, exitts only in a diminished quantity. The practical result would bo that the "0" Dip.. would give greater immunity from ticks with lea* h&rihness and drabtic effects on tha wool. Next week we will appoctd, if the Analysis is ready, a comparison te«t between Odam&'s Fluid Non-poisonous Dip and the bestknown m*ke of similar preparations in use in tbis colony. •• University Laboratory, " Dunodin, September 22, 1895. ♦•Manßger 'Buckeye' Company. " Sir,— l have the honour to report the remits of my analysis of two samples of Sboep . Dip itarked respectively "0" and "C," forwarded by you on the 18th inst, " " There is very little difference in the composition of these two.samples. " They are both evidently made by the same process, and will have very much the same effects. " About 40 per cent, of these dips is soluble n hot water ; and this portion contains all the arsenic compounds as well as 2 per cent, of the Sulphur, and all the Soda and Ammonia and Lime, The -60 -per cent, of dissoluble matter is sulphur in a state in which it does not dissolve in water. There is only a trace (one-fifth of a per oent ) of useless matter in fche whole substance. ' " I am, " " Yomb truly, " James G. Black." Sample O. Sample C. Per cent.
