I ISAAC ARCHER of Mill Street Penrith, in the County of Cumberland Farmer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR
APPLYING TAR BUTTER AND OIL OR ANY COMPOUND KNOWN AS "SHEEP DIP TO
THE FLEECES OF LIVE SHEEP to be as follows:-
It is intended by the improved process to supersed the salving or smearing of
sheep by hand which is a slow and expensive process and to substitute for it a
process by which a dressing of the strongest known waterproofing ingredients can
be cheaply and quickly applied.
To this end it is necessary to keep the sheep dipping bath at the temperature at
which the necessary ingredients are held in their proper mixed state with the
water otherwise they will curdle and be removed on the surface of the fleece
instead of being properly distributed among its firbs.
To raise the temperature of the Bath-and to maintain it at the proper
temperature which has a tendency to become lower with the immersin of each
sheep.
I make use of steam from a boilor-which steam I convey by means of a pipe
which discharges below the surface of the water in the bath-I, also make use of
another steam pipe from the same boilor which pipe I remove froin vessel to vessel
-for the purpose of melting Tar and Butter-also for boiling disolving and mixing
various other sheep dipping materials, for replenishing the sheep dipping bath.
Both the above discribed pipes deliver the steam direct into the differant vessels
and below the surface of the sheep dipping materials.
My Invention consists in the use of steam:-and in the manner and for the
purpose discribed.

I ISAAC ARCHER of Mill Street Penrith in the County of Cumberland Farmer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR
APPLYING TAR BUTTER AND OIL OR ANY COMPOUND KNOWN AS SHEEP DIP TO
THE FLEECES OF LIVE SHEEP and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
It is intended by the improved process to supersede the salving smearing or
pouring of sheep by hand which is a slow and expencive process and to substitute
for it a process by which a dressing of the strongest known waterproofing
ingredients can be cheaply and quickly applied.
To this end it is necessary to keep the sheep dipping bath at the temperature 1
at which the necessary ingredients are held in their proper mixed state with the
water otherwise they will curdle and be removed on the surface of the fleece
instead of being properly distributed amongst its firbs.
To raise the temperature of the bath and to maintain it at the proper
temperature which has a tendency to become lower with the emmersin of each 1
sheep.
I make use of steam from a boilor which steam I convey by means of a pipe,
which discharges steam below the surface of the water in the bath.
I also make use of another pipe from the same boilor which pipe I remove from
vessel to vessel for the purpose of melting Tar and butter, also for boiling disolving
and mixing various other sheep dipping materials for replenishing the sheep
dipping bath,
Both the above discribed pipes deliver the steam direct into the differant vessels
and below the surface of the sheep dipping materials.
My invention consists in the use of steam and for the purpose described.
And what I claim is
The combination consisting of two pipes for the heating disolving and melting
purposes above described.
