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 surrounnding 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 ol pure Indian and other teas give universal satisfaction. Try them 1 I am wholesale and retail agent for Ashburton, and these teas of the different kinds and prices, can, at all times, be procured at my shop m packages, boxes and half-chests. _My stock now embraces nearly every article in the gro eery and Italian trades, and family orders I can now deliver anywhere in Ashburton and neighborhood.

I assure them and the general public that I shall strive to deserve the preference they may. give me by studying their interests —as well as my own.—H, M. CARSON.

Matson, Cox & Co.- ■ DIPPING SEASON, 188 A The SpecialJlmproved ( Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water] qnHIS NON-POISONOUS DIP is a certain preventative and care of scab, and is unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the akin of sheep, cattle, and 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) 801 b (5 gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons) ; 5s per gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made in 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 spector North Canterbury— “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “ 17th Aptirißß3. Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir,—-I have to-day made a cate ful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipped in ray 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, I 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. A iter 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 SOFT AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS unusually briohand glossy, 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 1 enclose. I found no live lice or ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly important, tub tick eggs were all dead. As the lice ova are not easily visible to the naked eye, I am 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 skosp 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, 1883—I am moro and more pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and 1 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. “ Timarn, March 19, 1883. [ “I have been examining tbe 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 1 find ou: dipping has bean very effective.” 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 came principle in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. The first drawing for £2,000 and the I 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. This third grand drawing will take place not later than the end of June, and the fourth drawing will open on the Ist July. Late applications are registered for the third drawing. Over 550 applications for programmes are now registered for the third drawing. This third grand drawing will consist of 240 money-prizes, amounting to L 3,000 subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows



1 £3OO prize; l ; £l50 prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £3O prizes; 10 £25 prizes; 10 £2O prizes; 10 £ls prizes ; 120 £lO •prizes ; 80 £5 prizes. Total amount, £3,000; 240 money prizes. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro gram'sis guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a priza'must come out to every 25 numbers, aad the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes against B 0 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw- { ing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be dra'.vn by any investor of 10a. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. The large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse consulta tions, but you will observe in this Ham burg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fair est principle possible, so as to give entire public satisfaction. This third grand drawing for £3,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. -Notice —Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number,. and la added for exchange.
