NEW ZEALAND LAMB.

THE DEMANDS OF THE CONSUMING PUBLIC. “The ory in London for a long time past has been for email carcases,” so states the Otago Witness of 16th June, 1909; and this assertion is fully borne out by every man possessed of any practical knowledge ol the situation as it exists to-day. ( Heavy carcases are not wanted, with the result that there is an enormous glut of th j class on the London market at the present time, for which very low prices must be accepted to effect a clearance. Yet the production of the proper class —i.e., PHiiiE light-weight carcases—involves only sound judgment and good management. The skilful manager will mate his evyes with rams of the most rapid maturing breeds ; provide for the lambing ewes clean and abundant pasture, and for the lambs, on being weaned, an abundance of the best fattening feed, such as rape, etc., to “top” them off; and, above all things, he will be careful that his exertions in other points of management are not brought to nought by allowing his lambs to be worried by vermin. For cleansing sheep and lambs intended for short keep from ticks, lice, and other parasites, QuiboH's Liquid Dip has no equal, as hundreds of the most practical sheep-owners in New Zealand and Australia to-day who have tested 't fop this purpose against the best-known poisonous and non-poisonous brands ol sheep dips can fully testify.
