ТНЕ DESTRUCTION OF TICKS 
4 
There із no remedy for Ticks so efficacious as Cooper 
PowderDip. Itkills the ticks with certainty, keeps the 
sheep free from re-infestation and improves the wool 
There are, however, several points to be observed when 
dipping, and among them are the following :— 
DON'T DIP SHEEP WHEN THIRSTY, overheated, 
full of food, or in wet or very cold weather. 
DON'T DRIVE THEM a iew hours before or till a 
few hours after dipping. 
DON'T DIP SHEEP in the hottest hours of the day 
during the hot season. If not permanently covered, fix 
up temporary shade over the draining pens when the heat 
is great. The hot sun pouring down on wet sheep is apt 
‘to scald them. After draining, allow the sheep to dry in 
the shade. 
DON’T GUESS THE BATH WATER, measure 
it accurately. 
DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF into believing that 
increased strength of the wash will make amends for 
DON’T FAIL ТО KEEP THE BATH thoroughly 
stirred, so as to ensure sheep carrying out the floating 
particles which dry on to the fleece and protect it from 
re-infestation. 
DON'T DISCARD APPARENTLY HARD 
PACKETS. This hardness is due to damp storage or to 
stowage near the ship's boilers. Smartly tapping the flat 
sides together, or dropping the packet flatwise on to a 
floor will quickly pulverise the contents again. 
DON'T ALLOW EMPTY PACKETS to lie about. 
Burn them. 
DON'T DIP IN FILTHY WASH. Filth discolours 
the wool, increases the dead tip, and the hotter the climate 
the more baneful is its effect. м
