would. IN almost ali situations, improve its
! Quality, and this ina degree greatly beyond
what the simplicity Of the means would at
the frstyiew induce us to believe. A fur
tier investigation has given me the most
ample and satisfactory proofs Of the truth Of
this conjecture, and has enabled me to state
as a general position, that by the application
of a well chosen unguent, wool may be de-
Tended from the action Of the soil and ele-
ments, and improved more than can be e.
frcted By any other means, except an entire
change of breed.
Not only will the quality OF the wool be
ensured by this practice, bat it will become
finer, and the quantity viii be increased 1t
is also found to preserve the sheep lnsltu.
atoms where they would inevitably perish,
without this defence. Where the practice
of greasing the sheep has prevailed, the great
quaint of tar which was always combined
with the unguent, prevented the advantages
of its application to the wool from being dis
covers and the breed OF sheep on which
it is most practised, is naturally the worst
which exists in Britain for the production OF
wool. It is only in Northumberland, and
that Aocks of fine wooled sheep have receiv-
ed the benefit Of greasing with a mixture, IN
which the tar used was merely sufficient to
give it tenacity. The Ignorance or the self
ishness OF the wool-buyers, for long time
prevented the Acknowledgements OF the adj
vantages which tie wool received from the
ointment. Many were afraid to purchase
it, from the extra weight Of grease in the
fleece, and made It's dirty appearance pre-
tence for reducing the price below what
ought to have b.Hn allowed for the weight
OF the ontInentit contained. The nature OF
this wool is now better understood when
sorted, il is purchased by the manufacture
ers of colcrcd cloth, IN preference to any o.
Their. The sane preference is given TO the
cloths WHEN sold III an unfinished state, in
the York shire cloth nails, ard they al,Favs
have ready sale, whatever may be the ge
neral depression oftrade.
When these cloths are finished, their su.
perority is still more apparent. am 10
formed from authority which canno: doubt,
that many cIo,hs made from creased Nor
thumberand wool, have been sold as cloths
made from good Spanish wool, and have
equalled then. IN their texture and soltness:
ungreased woods equally fine, and manutac-
cured in the same way, would have made a
cloth, the value of which would not have
equalled the former by at least thirty per
cent.
These woods appear to improve and be-
come finer in every process OF the manutac-
lure the hard woods, on the contrary, alp.
pear to grow coarser by the same treatment.
The difference, IN this respect, is greater
than could be supposed by persons unac-
quaiutcd with the manufacture OF each sort.
