BLEMISHES IN WOOL. THE NECESSITY FOR A SOLUBLE MARKING FLUID. Cabled reports of th e recent conference at Bradford, England, between empire woolgrowers and representatives of the wool trade indicate that much interest was focussed on the question of the marking of sheep. It was pointed out that the presence of tar in Australasian wool, due to tar branding of sheep, had a serious effect on the value of our wool. Wool growers were urged to use a marking fluid which would wash out in the scour and thus overcome this difficulty. Such a marking fluid has already been available to pastoralists in Australia and New Zealand for a number of years. The Vacuum Oil Company Pty., Ltd., after considerable research, produced a sheep marking fluid, Vacmark, which is Wng used extensively with excellent results, and is gaining popularity a s more and more pastoralists realise its advantages. Vacmark does not contain any tar, tar oil, or any other product which will spoil the fleece. The use of a marking fluid which is guaranteed to meet the conditions demanded by the manufacturers will well repay the wool grower.
