It ia Non-Poisonous, except to insect life ; safe and easy to use; cleanses the wool, and promotes its growth by supplying the fleece with a nourishing, oil or fatty food ; only requires oold water to mix, m which it ia immediately soluble $ this is an immense advantage wbera the dipping is done upon the farm or Bbeep ran, where hot water is not easily procurable.

It is an alkaline prepara- tion of tar, oils, and aoids, and contains 26 per cent of tar acids. It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well suited fot destroying tick?, lice, etc., and for treating " eoab," " mange," etc., but also for destroy* ing the spores of the anthrax microbe 'Bacillus anthracis), and preventing the tpread of anthrax among flocks of sheep. This fluid is a moßt suitable preparation for the purposes to whioh it is applied, and may be reoommended as a safe remedy for the various parasitio and infeotious diseases whioh attack sheep and other farm animals, A.B.GRIFFITHS, Ph.D., F.R.S.E., F. 0.5., Ac, i Principal The Lincoln Sohcol of Boienoe.

In reply to your request as to my reporting to you my opinion of the reßUlt of your dressing sheep at Mr Xysaght'a an (Me Nicholas' with your Foot-Rot Speoifio, I have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfeot one, although the weather wbb very wet and stormy, and the examination was only six days after the feet had been dressed. Some of the sheep were very, badly affected, nearly the whole of the foot having rotted off. I should recommend all sheep owners to use your Specino if their sheep are troubled with Foot-rot, as it ib easily put on, and:l am sure it will give Batißfaction.— l remain, youra truly .--.-.-• ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspeotor of Stock, June 22, 1895. .

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Aehburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract • from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century n of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less Ihan one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being teken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaintß is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisops which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever ard diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varionß kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the streDgth of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. PoEsession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. ■— *•■ (o) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have jnst received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint^ and Semi-double sheeted frame— galvanised.
