DROUGHT IN SOUTH AMERICA.

“ Information to hand places it beyond ■ doubt that the Argentine Uopu "die sheep ‘ Interests am suffering severely fr. m dry we <ther. The estimate is that die los.-es of sheep this year are fully 5 000,CIO In many places the Esses of live stick exceeded 50 per cent of the whole. In connection with the wool produce of the Re -üblic, ft well known Dar’mg JJowrs breeder, now In England, has be en tn .k ing inquiries on the sabjscb and sends ti e following items of inform dioti as ihe reui't Ihe imports of wool into Europe fro o the Argentine Kepnbb last yar we-e 360,001 bales of about TW-b each, th’s being about double the production c f dape wools and nearly one-h «lf the quan tity produced in Austrda, tho respecti' o productions in millions of pound* l being : j Australasia, 227; South Aftioa, PS ; and River Plate, 110. 'the South American wool is shipped almost ontii ly to Antwerp and Havre The q i y condones to improve in yi' bl firmness, length of staple, andglos. a por ion of it even rivalling the Australian wools. From reliable informat on received by this gentleman from those well acquainted with tho country, it appears that tho extensive district in t ;, e Ho pe Id ic best suited for wools of the Aus tralian type has not yet b en stocked ; that the country first stocked is muo adapted to the English breed of sheep; and Jiat the more favorable districts will all be taken np in time and stocked. Ho has forwarded a sample of River Plate meiino wool, said to be a fair average specimen of that sold in London. It certainly shows quality and fineness, but is badly matured, wanting in fieeness, fuz"v on the tips, and sadly deficient in that' beautiful lustre and gloss so cliarac- I terihiic in our superior wools. It would , rank as a second-class fine wool hero, such ( as is produced in some of the unimproved j flo* ks in the outlying districts

Its great superiority over other materials consists in its cheapness, Its undoubted efficacy In destroying all ticks, lice, and every insect that infests the skins of sheep or domestic animals, and in its cleanliness, and absolute hsrmlessnesa to those concerned in its use. Beinp of on oily character, It is highly beneficial to the growth of the Wool, which it leaves soP, clean and bright, without robbing it of the yolk—its natural nourish ment—or leaving it harsh and dy, as is the case when alkaline mixtures, such as lime and sulphur, or arsen’cal prparatlons are used. It *s entirely without the ruinous effects invariably resulting from the use of such materials. It is not only non-poiaonouß, but may be used internally for worm in the throat in lambs ; it wil also effectually cure foot-rot, and AS A SPECIFIC FOR SOAP. IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO FaIL. To those who dip in full fleece, this find wil! be found invaluable, for, being of a warm and protecting chat”-ter, sheep will not catch cold, though dipped In the depth of winter.
