PRICE, 17s PER GALLON, IN TWO GALLON TINS, WILL DRENCH 320 SHEEP* The following are a few of the Testimonials received thia Season from the extreme North, testifying to the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture.' - A Buckland & Sons, Auckland. Waipipi, May 17, 1893. Gentlemen,~ln answer to your ecquiry re the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture, I may say that I drenched my lambs with ib on the 31st March. Some of them were looking bad, and I expected some deaths, but so far none have died. I have no doubt that the mixture is good for internal parasites.—l remain, your 3, etc., ROBERT CRAIG. Mr Joseph Ford. Hoteo North, May 18, 1893. Dear Sir, —We, ths tindersigned, have very great pleasure in testifying to the efficiency of your Patent Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture. We purchased two 2-gallon tins from your Auckland agents, Messrs A. Buckland and Sonß, and hive used a portion of it fos drenching our flock of about 400 laml)3 with the very beat results. About three month* before we dosed them, they were scouring very bad and a great many had lung-worm, some having already died ; but, thinks to your Mixture, we have scarcely lost any since giving it to them, although we consider that this continued wet season has been greatly against lambs doing well. Yet, we can confidently say that our lambs began to improve immediately after the use of your Lung-worm Mixture, which haa no doubt been the salvation of a great number of them, as they were in a bid state before being dosed. —We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, J. and R. GRANT. Messrs A. Buckland & &ms, Auckland. Wairoa S., May 10, 1893. Dftar Sirs, —I used some of Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture and am well pleased with the results. I think it will pay me well to use it in the future. My sheep have always been very healthy, and this is the first season I have done anything to them in the way of drenching. We picked out the worst of the lambs and drenched them once. Afterwards, only two of them died, and the others seemed to thrive and do well,—Yours truly, 3 JOHN DOW. Messrs Buckland and Sons, Auckland. Auckland, August 15, 1893. Gentlemen, —We have much pleasure in advising you that we have used six tins of Ford's Lung-Worm and Scour Mixture on both calves and sheep, and that it has given us every satisfaction, we consider it the best and most economical mixture thut we have tried.—Yours truly, REID BROS., Motu Tapu. IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO DRENCH LAMBS AFTE& WEANING, although no signs of Scour are apparent. It will always pay to Drench with FORD'S—He is well paid who is well satisfied. CAUTION TO BUYB&S—Don't purchase imitations; see that you get FORD'S Mix ture. Acts promptly : sure cure. Once used always used. FORD'S Mixture is also a first-class cure for Scour in Calves. It will also improve the condition in unthrifty Calves. F. FERRIMAN, ASHBURTON, PATENTEE & PROPRIETOR. PROFIT AND LOSS IN CUTTING CHAFF Depends entirely on the machine you use.
