Napier, H.B. •'Dear Sirs, "Having heard a grea* deal about in<? benefits to be derived by dipping lambs before putting them on rape la yiubells JX on-poisonous Dip, I resolved to prove the assertions made for myself. "I accordingly selected a flock of lambs of uniform quality, and run off one-half the number, which I dipped in "QurbcH's Liquid as directed; the otiher half I lei* undipped. At the end of a, month both lots were cent to the freezing "works and killed; the undipped lot averaged 311 beach and those dipped, as before otated, 341b each. . " In my opinion the results far more th*ni justify any claims made for tho dip tfe this direction. " (Signed) M. A. M'Leod. o Th» gain, on the dipped as compared witV the undipped thus shows s. profit of something lik o 1500 per cent, on tho ma of dipping, including labour, materul, etc., a gain, surely, not to bo do-pi-cd in Us> j days of low prices for wool, r-l • Dip your 'amli- i-j (Jin' 'i , I" i-M f .v>. poUonou ). ;.! .! mil . .'i i • Ir i ) I . r <-nt. |>.-oli' ' i i', i._ ii . -.n t'<o-
