Gentlemen,—!n answer to yours of the 14th ultimo, we have to state, fur your guidance and information, as well as in justice to Messrs. Hood and Co., that in the end of , 1864 we dipped over 10,000 sheep, all more or less scabby, in their preparation. First dip ping was done as the sheep left the shearers; the second, in twenty days after; anil the third, in ten days after that. We made the BJ, wash on the second dipping ten per cent. stronger than recommended; in all other respects we were atiided precisely by Mtssn li Hood and Co.'s directions. We have only fur te titer to state that we have ncv< r seen a single case of scab in our flocks since the second dipping, sixteen months ago, and that we consider it has this oilier important r com mendation: whereas all other slie;-p -trtssings with which we are acquainted more or less injure and discolour the wool, Messrs. IM and Co.'s, in our opinion, improve it in wlour, ' e texture, and weight. J. & A. Tatlob. Summeriiill, November 4,1585. Messrs. Hood & Co.
