I can’t wait until all find out, but, taking for granted that all have got the correct answer, I proceed to state that I have just shifted into Orr and Co’s late grocery shop, where I first made the acquaintance of my friends of Ashburton and snrrounnding dis tricts. The “ whirligig of time ” has just put me into the old place, and I trust I shall have the pleasure of doing much business with all my old friends, and with many new ones as ■well. The enquiry is still made—Where can we procure good tea ? I answer again—Use Nelson Moate and Co.’s pure blended teas, and you will derive much pleasure and satis faction. Why ? Because that firm thoroughly understands the tea trade. Mr Nelson is a tea. taster of life-long experience, and his blends of pure Indian and other teas give universal satisfaction. Try them !

Matson, Cox & Co. DIPPING SEASON, 3884 The Special'lmprovod Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water r pBIS NON-POISONOUS DIP is a A certain preventative and cure of scab, and is unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the skin of sheep, cattle, aod other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos sesses the double advantage of simultane ously repelling contagion and leansing the skin from filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk ] of same, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth. The great risk in curred by introducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip is not a cheap chemi cal fluid, but a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool; and these ingredients are mixed by new power, ful steam machinery, so that a thorough consistency is always obtained. One dip ping with this Dip (in mid-fleece) will sav the great inconvenience of dipping twice as is the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 b (5 gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons) ; 5s per gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made iu large quantities, for large flocks. Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for this Glycer ine Dip, we select the following -



From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In specter North Canterbury—



“ Amberley, North Canterbury, “17th April 1883.. Wm, Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir, —I have to-day made a care ful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipped in my presence at Ashley, by Mr Hayward, on the 26th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward’s Glycer ine Dip. The result of my inspection to day is, 1 am pleased to be able to state, in every respect highly satisfactory. The sheep were badly infected with lice and ticks, and in consequence, not thriving. After they were dipped they were, at my request put back in the same paddock from whence they came. To-day the sheep have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool is SOFX’ AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS unusually BEiQHTANDQ lossy, considering the short “space of time since they were dipped. Although the sheep smell strongly of the dip, there is very slight stain on the wool, as may be seen by the samples I enclose. I found no live lice or ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly important, tub tick were all dead. As the lice ova are noa easily visible to the naked eye, lam not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are supposed to hatch within fourteen days, and as there are no young lice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that they are also dead. I attribute this killing of the eggs to the length of time the shoep were kept in the dip—nearly a minute — which, in my opinion, is not any too long. “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, (Signed) “ Reginald Foster. ” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, Esq-, Longbeach, Canterbury. “ April 30, 1883 —The general appear ance of the flock is all that could be wished for.” “May 10, 18r3 —I am more and more pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and I shall certainly use it next season. I will care fully note the appearance of the wool as compared with that in which other dips were used.” From John'McOaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. “I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and I find very sati factory results, the ticks, as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst hand ling the sheep I find ou.* dipping has been very affective. ” At the late exhaustive trial of sheep dips in Hawke’s Bay the judges reported as follows :—“At the second examination on the 18th October, we found the sheep dipped with Tomlinson and Hay ward’s (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc , etc. Vide Hawke's Bay Herald , Jan. 5, 1884. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip last year at the N.Z. and A- Land Company’s Stud Flock Station realised the highest price in the London market. Vide Account Sales, 1883. The prize pen of Lincoln Sheep at the late Lincoln April Fair and Newark Fair were dipped with the Glycerine Dip, viz., R. A, and J. A. Thorpe’s, Nocton. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip obtained the Silver Medal at the late Paris Exhibition.

Unparallelled success of these grand drawings, as they are carried out on the same principle in Hamburg and other Continental Cities.



The first drawing for £2,000 and the second drawing for L 3,000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company were induced to make this third grand drawing for L 3,000 in conse quence of the great success, and also the confidence gained from the public since opening these Hamburg drawings.
