SOMETHING NEW FOR wooL-eRowERs

NEW FOR WOOL-GROWERs
We find the following treatise in u circular
recently put forth to the wool-growers Of the
United States by Messrs.. Millington y DIM
lex, of Michigan in connection with the an
nouncement Of their discovery of a new pre-
paration to obviato and remedy the worst
evils with which the wool-grower has to con-
tend. The treatise seems to us to be philo-
sophical one, and we should think the prepa-
ration might prove great desideratum to
the Farmer. 1t is the same thing which will
be found in our advertising columns in the
notice of Hon. Jacob Scott, who has engaged
to become the agent for the manufacturers IN
this part Of the State.
DIaICK's COMPOUND OIL.
6 Be thou daiigent to know The state Of Thy Flock y"
This is the Ne Plus Ultra to the farmer
and the Wool-Grower of the United States,
for one hund,ed per cent can be made by ev-
cry individual! engaged in the rearing of Sheep
and growins Wool moro than heretofore, by
the use OF Dimich's Compound OH, or Sleeps
Coating.
This article has long been needed, and has
called forth much labor and study, and is
now offered to the public on its valuable mer-
its. The benefits from its use are as follows: :
LIST. 1t will produce from one-half to one
pound of wool per head more by its applica-
ton. The fact that the transition that sheep
undergo in shearing, is too great from one
extreme to the other, which causes the animal
heat to pass off, thereby closing the pores of
the skin, which stops the proper animal secre-
tons, 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 deeterious in the worst degree /;
bringing on an unhealthy state of the skin,
and from two to four weeks are lost, 1.-THE best
of the season,) by the wool-grower; for in is
found to be fact that the first eight weeks
after shearing is the time for the wool to
thicken on the surface. BY an application
Of this mixture these evils are obviated, as it
serves as coating to the skin, by which
means the animal retains its natural heat.
1t prevents the suns rays from soorching them
and burning the skin; it also prevents storms
from penetrating or soaking the skin, as it is
of such nature as to cause storms to roll off
keeping the skin oily ana moist; preventing
the cuticle from peeling off, and thereby stop
ping the growth of the wool.
1t is also substitute for the natural yolk
which is not fully secreted at the time of shear
ing, when it is most needed to nourish the
roots of the wool and cause it to grow more
rapid and, by its application it inyigorates
the skin making it more soft and lively
Therefore, under these considerations, you
get constant and rapid growth OF wool, at
the time when it should thicken on the sur.
face, and of an equal growth. The feeces
are heavier first, from the evils it prevents
second, from the aid it imparts, as it is com.
pounded of such materials as to promote the
growth of wool on the animal.
1t cannot be too particularly recommended
for ewes rearing lambs, for, it is known fact
that, take eve that rcars good lamb, let
her wool be Of the finest quality, it is often
harsh and dry from the fact that the oily Sc
cretions which 60 to support the wool, are in
a measure consumed by the lamb; but by APP
plying this mixture, you supply the nourish
ment so the wool, causing il to be fine and
soft in its full vigor. An
It is sure preventative from the wool be-
coming harsh and dry; it supplys the oil
glands that are not full at the time needed
after shearing. From its stimulating prop.
critics it possesses and imparts to the skin il
causes more active circulation Of the natu.
raj oily secretions, which are retarded by
storms, rays of the sun, and loss of animal
heat. 1t is composed of ingredients which
supply the glands with oi,protecting the skin,
aiding the secretions, nourishing the wool and
causing it to be soft and lively.
3d. 1t prevents the skin from becoming
parched and dry, from its oily nature, and al,
so from its mode Of preparation, as there is
no vegetable oil in it. and it does not oxydize
on the surface. but unites with the animal
oil, causing it to be more abundant, and pre-
vents it from thickening on the surface, and
thereby the skin does not become dry and
parched as is often the case.
4th. Ii will destroy ticks and vermin that
intesr sleep. The materials CT which it is
composed are those which are destructive to
yermin, and such as they avold from natural
instinct Also lies, of all descriptions par
tioularly that which causes the grub, as this
is one of the main things the Compound Oil
Or Sleeps Coating is intended Tor.
9th. BY its application, those severe attacks
Of cold and iHducnza are prevented, as it
causes the animal to retain its natural neat,
keeping and assisting the natural secletions,
preventing the Anim4I from taking COD which
is the cause Oh chose discharges rom the hos
trils Wlicn are - deeerious TO the animal.
9th. 1t is sure cure .or sab, and other
skin diseases watch the animal is subject to,
as the materials OF which it is composed are
Of that nature to eradicate them to heal
the skin, inparting liveiiness to the surface,
assisting and promoting the proper secretions
of the natural fluids Oh the skin, also aiding
nature in its proper courses.
7th. By an application Of this Coating in
the fall, the animal is capable OF enduring
more and severer cold, for the storms OF rain
and snow are made to fall of and not pene.
tfate the fleece, affecting the skin.
We have here enumerated some Of the ben
efits derived from the use Of the Compound
Oil Or Sleeps Coating, which we present to
all interested in the least for investigation,
and we are assured all will allow of its
great utility. Where is the farmer who has
not compassionated his flock after shearing
in the storm or heating rays of the sun wor-
ried by flies as he has seen them running from
fence corner to fence corner. Here is the
preventive which will give them ease and
comfort, that after having RECALLED themselves
at natures board, they can seek the shade
and rest in quietude. In its composition it
is chemical, each ingredient having an afini-
ty in accordance with the laws of nature,
forming a completc c0moosjti0n.
