Matson, Cox & Co. DIPPING SEASON, 1884, The Special Improved Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water NON-POISONOUS DIP is a J certain preventative and cure of Scab, and ie unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, .Dice, and Parasites ■ of every description: infesting the shin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. -It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos. ‘ tosses the double advantage of simultane ouely repelling contagion and leansing the skin from filth. ITDOESNOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL - Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk xdf’Qame, bat feeds the-fleece; maintains the natural'lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth, The great risk in cnrred by introducing newly purchased atbok amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip ie not a cheap, chemi cal- fluid, - bat a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to beneflt'tbe' animal and the wool; aad > these ingredients are mixed by new power, fnj 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 M-ia the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 ti (&: gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons); 5s per gallon in single drams. 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 eelect the following : From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In " ‘' spector North Canterbury— “ Amberley, North Canterbury, * “17th April 1883/ Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and’Co,), Rangiora. * ,“X)eat .Sir, —I have to-day made a care ful examination of Mr T. Croft's sheep, which weredippedin my presence at Ashley, jby Mcrlfeyward, on the 25th 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 ..aheap were I badly infected with lice and .itifiksr a “d in consequence, not thriving. Alter they * were dipped they were, at my 'request put back in the same paddock - frdm whence they tgime. To-day the sheep'have the appearance of having thriven'well since dipping. The Wool is SOFT AHD ; SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS ' 'unusually bright and 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 fhe samples I'enclore. I found no live lice „ qr ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly Jpapbrtant, tub tick E'"3s were all dead. 'As the lice ova are nc j' easily visible to the naked eye, lam not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are >sqppoaed to hatch within fourteen' days, and as fhere-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 sheep were kept in the dip—nearly a minute— -which, in roy opinion, is not any too long. “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, . (Signed * Regi.valo Foster. ” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, . j . Esq., Longbeach, Canterbury. “ April 30,1883 —The general appear arce of the flock is all that could be wiahei for.” “Stay 10, am more and more with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and 1 shall certainly use it'next season. 1 will care fully note the appearance of the wool as compared with' that in which other dips were-used.” From John McCaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. “I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and 1 find f/«ery- satl factory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst hand ling thesbeep X find on,' tapping has been very effective.” At the late exhaustive trial of sheep dips in Hawke’s Bay the judges reported as follows :—“At the second examination on f .the ,18th October, we found the sheep dipped'with'Tomlinson and Hay ward's (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc, et c. Vide Hawke's Bay Herald, Jan. 5, 1884 Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip laiit year at the N.Z. and A. Land ,Copapany’s Stud Flock Station realised the highest price in the London market.

CELEBRATED VERMIN This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradictating tick, scab or iice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia. South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose, simpl md plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those verrnLi, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite uf the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation cat; be obtained in parcels Price—One Shilling ;or six packets for Fve Shillings.

The Champion Binder is a machine made for Hard Service, anff upon this pre eminent fact the reputation of all Champion Machines is founded. The Cutting Ap paratus is acknowledge to bo immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvester. The finger bar is of angle steel and the fingers of wrought ii®n. The Platform Belt runs within half an inch of the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey the shortest crop iu good manner. The Butter Belt employed on some machines is a rickety, rapidly running arrangement, and is superseded in the Champion by an iron Butts Packer, durable and effective. The ,*iaiu Wheel is yrfty high, has a broad tire, and the bearing in the centre is 16in long,” is vastly superior to the main wheel of any other binder, and will run a dozen years, and not cant over or get loose and shaky. The Elavating Bolts on other harvesters are nearly perpendicular, on the Champion, however, the angle is vefy slight, requiring much less power to elevate the grain, and it is not necessary to run the bolts so close together, the heads of the grain are not broken off or shelled out. These features are only found in the Cham pion, and every farmer will realise their importance. The Binding Mechanism is a combination of the best know systems, and is thoroughly perfected. The makers ot the Champion control the Appleby pa eats, and all harvesters using this system pay them a royalty. The Champion cant'ins other improvements too numerous to par ticularise, and must be seen to be appreciated. _ . The Expensive Materials used in the Construction of this Harvester make it the Most Costly uf any made, but it is decided to MAKE THE PRICE THE SAME AS (HOSE ALREADY IN THE MARKET: AND SPECIAL TERMS Will be made to Farmers ordering for Next Season.
