Business Notices. PREMIER SHEEP DIP. THOMAS 1 CARBOUSED DIP, Manufactured by HOOD & CO,, MELBOURNE. fIIHE DIP was awarded the Gold Medal at the Adelaide Exhibition, the Silver Medal at Geelong, and received Honorable Mention at the International Exhibition, Melbourne. The Cheapest Sheep Dipping Specific known, costing only two shillings for every hundred sheep dipped. The most successful application for the destruction of tick, scab, or lice—one dipping only being necessary for tick or lice. SOLUABLE IN COLD WATER. This specific does not stain the wool, it increases the weight of the fleece, the quality of the wool, and improves the health of the sheep treated with it, and in the auction-room a higher price is obtained for the wool, through its superior “ handling ” over sheep dipped with any other composition. The Introduction of Carbolising into its composition cannot be too highly estimated. It is an extra active agent, powerful in arresting any tendency to scab, and, as a disinfectant, of course stands pre-eminent. At the same time it promotes the health of the sheep and stimulates the growth of wool—the quality of which it improves so materially that instances can be adduced where as much as threepence a pound has been obtained for wool where this specific was used over that where other dips were applied. As a remedy for scab or tick this Dip has become celebrated, and has established itself as by far the cheapest and most successful Specific known. Care should be taken that the composition is thoroughly dissolved, which is easily done by stirring well in a small quantity of water before adding the bulk. If the water used be hard or brackish, a little soda or potash may be added before dissolving the composition. For the cure of tick, Hee, or fly, one dipping in a solution, made in the proportion of one pound to fifteen gallons, and prepared as above, will be found thoroughly efficacious. PRICE: ONE SHILLING PER POUND, In tins of 15 t 50, and lOOlbs.

This Dip greatly improves and does not discolor the wool. Directions for Use.— lOOlbs. weight of the composition is the proper quantity for a bath of 1,500 gallons of full strength for the tick, which will dip at least 3,000 sheep. For scab, a rather stronger bath is necessary, and a second dipping after an interval of ten days is absolutely required to clear the sheep from scab. Directions for Dipping.— Pour upon lOlbs. of the composition ten gallons of cold water, and thoroughly dissolve it by well stirring; then add 140 gallons of water. In the Dip thus formed the sheep are to be thoroughly immersed for about a minute, and then placed on the drainer, and allowed to drain for a time. Agentjfor Gisborne: PORTER AND CROFT. 1004
