This is the Ne Plus Ultra to the farmer and
wool grower OF the United States, for one
hundred per cent. can he made by every ind
vdual engaged in the rearing OF Sheep aud
growing Wool more than heretofore, by The
use of DiMIcK's COMPOUND OH, OR SHELPi
CoATfSo.
This article has long been needed. and has
called forth labor and study, and is now offered
to the public on lis valuable merits. The ben
ems from its use are MS follows
list. 1t will produce from one-half to one
pound wool per head more by its application.
The TACT that the transition that sheep un-
dergo in shearing is TOO great from one ex.
tremc to the other, which causes the animal
heat to pass of, thereby closing the pores of
the skin, which stops the proper animal secie-
tions, causing the skin TO become parched and
dry, also they are subject to the scorching
rays OF the sun, TO storms and wind, all of
which are decierious in the worst degree ;
bringing on an unhealthy state Of the skin,

If the season. by the wool grower; for it is
found to he q fact that the first eight weeks
after shcaring is the lime for the wool TO thick

mixture these evils are obviated rs II serves
as IL coating TO the 5. in by which means the
animal retains its natura! heat. 1t prevents
the suns rays from searching them, and burn
ing the skin; it also prevents storm from pen
etrntng or soaking the skin, rs il is Of such
nature al to cause storms to roll off, keeping
the skin oily and moist preventing the cuiicle
from pceling off. and thereby stepping the
growt III Of the wool.
II is also substitute for the natural yolk
which is not iulI y secrctcd at the time oisaear-
ing, when il is most needed to nnurish the
roots OF the wool and cause il to grow more
rapid and, by It's apr LEGATION it invigoralcs
the skin, making it more soft and lively
Therefore, under these considerations you get
n constant and rapid growth of WOO, at the
time when it should ,hckcn on the surface,
and of an equal growth. The feeces are
heavier, first. from the evils il prevents; sec
ond, from the aid it imparts as it is com

growth Of the wool on the animal
1t cannot he too particularly recommended
for ewes which are rearing lambs, for it is a
known fact that, take eve that rears u good
lamb, let her wool be of the finest quality, il is
often harsh and dry, from the fact that the oily
sccretions which 20 to support the wool are
in n measure consumed by the lamb but bv

soft in its full vigor,
1t is a sure preventive from the wool he

the skin does not become dry and parched as
