We have studied the pecuHar action of different dips ^* 

 on pigs, and found that although the results of dips 

 used were apparently satisfactory, we concluded that a 

 dip specially prepared for pigs would be more satisfac- 

 tory than any other dip made for sheep, cattle or horses. 

 It would be remembered that the skin and flesh of a pig is en- 

 tirely different from that of a sheep, cow or horse. One might as 

 well say, take a liniment made for a horse and use it on man. 

 Undoubtedly it would relieve the pain it was intended to remove 

 and probably it would remove a good chunk of skin and flesh 

 where applied on man. The comparison between a sheep skin 

 and a pig skin is equal to a comparison between a horse 

 skin and human skin. The action of a sheep, cattle 

 or horse wash would be equal in results as above comparison, but 

 in a different manner. The effect would not be noticeable 

 directly, but its influence (the sheep wash used on a pig) would 

 show itself, if use is persisted in, by producing cracked skin. 

 This condition in a Pig is highly detrimental, causing slow 

 growth, loss of appetite, and if pigs are ready for market, a loss 

 of at least, ic. per lb., and often making them unsaleable. A box 

 sunk in ground, large enough to havt^ a full sized * pig covered 

 with liquid when standing in box, water tight, with lid securely 

 fastened when not in nse will be found of great advantage and 

 benefit. A monthly dipping of pigs, we believe, and experience 

 shows it, will pay many times over for the slight expense and 

 trouble gone to. 



Persiatic Pig Wash is put up in 25c., 50c. and $1 cans, and 

 is for sale at all stores.
