Greenwood, of Teviotdale, the owner of one of the largest and most successful flocks in New Zealand, is publiehed : — •• My Teviotdale Corriedale wool, dipped in 'Cooper' secured ths only gold medal, two firsts, and one second prize for halfbred and Corriedale wool, out of threa firsts awarded, open to all halfbred and Corriedale flocks. In May, 1906, Teviotclale wool realised up to la 4£d, and in May, 1907, my wool brought up to Is 3£d, —ail dipped in Cooper. This year I shall dip 40,000 "sheep and lambs in Cooper.
