DIPPING SEASON 1886. WHICH is tho most eflieient, most reliable, and most economical SHEEPDIP ? THOMAS' Carbolised Sheep - Dipping Composition Hiis invariably, when applied m accordance with the proprietors' instructions, proved to bo tho CHKAI'ESTnnd MOST EFFICIENT DIP for either Longwool, Crossbred, or Merino Sheep. THOMAS' DIP was not only placed first at the Hawkes Bay competition m 1883, being pronounced by the Special Committee to bo superior to the eight other specifics then competing, including Cooper's, Little's, Tomlinson and Hnyward's (Glycerine), null's, Jeyo'a, Logan and Wilson's (vow Hatch's), McDoupall's, and Gillard's, but tho report on the wool then dipped, mado at the request of the H.B.P. and A. Association, by tho well-known Wool-brokera m London, Messrs Helmuth Schwartze and Co., also placed THOMAS' DIP AT THE HEAD OF ALL OTHERS as regards the wool, as the following extract from that report will buow : — "At tho conclusion of the Hawkes Bay trials, samples of tho wool from the sheep clipped were forwarded by tho Association to London for special examination and report, and the Wool Valuer for Messrs Helmuth, Schwartze and Co., of that city gavo as his award : — TnoJiAs' — Little or no smell, free staple and sound ; good luetre ; soft feel. Cooper's — Slight smell ; inoro yolk than m others ; fair lustre ; sound Btaple. Little's— Smells strong ; staple strong ; rather dried up j brownish cast. Hall's — Slight chemical smell ; staple quite sound ; no coagulation of grease ; fair lustre. Tomlinson and Haywahd's — Sour smell ; dried up appearance ; and dull look ; rather ten Her." Thomas' Carbolised Sheep Dip — for many years favourably known m Tasmania and Victoria as " Hood's Specific," and now greatly improved m manufacture and value — whon brought into fair competition with other curative ngencica has never yet been surpassed or equalled. It is a cold water dip, easily dissolved, and tho cost of application scarcely exceeds one half -penny per sheep, whilst a fair application rarely fails to add one penny per lb to the wool. Amongst numerous letters tho following are extracts : — From tho Manager of the Heaton Park Estate (tho property of tho Trustees of the late Hon. W. B. Rhodes), nenr Wangnnni. "Heaton Park, 21et Sept., 1885. " I havo dipped 20,000 sheep with Thomas' Dip, and havo found it effectual m killing the ticks and lice, with which 6ome of the sheep were very bad. Tho wool after dipping is m excellent condition, and free from stain, and there aro fewer matted fleeces than ever I havo known m my flock. Slhe bath is easily prepared, by first dissolving the dip m hot water, after which it easily assimilates with cold water. It is one of the cheapest and best dips I have used, m an experience of thirty years. " I am, <tc, " Robebt Wilson." " Inglewood, Flaxton, Oct. 13, 1885. " Messrs Miles and Co., Christchurcb. " Dear Sirs, — Having just had all mj sheep through the yards (clipped on May 4th, 1885), I have to express my satisfaction with Thomas' Dip. Tho wool is m nice order, and I havo not seen a tick or other parasite on any of tho sheep dipped, nor have I been able to see a tick on any lamb tailed, whoso dam hud been dipped.
