Wool.


The importance of this article az a staple is but
just begiuiog to be realizsd among the farmers at
the West. The repeated failures of the wheat
crop in that seciion of the country. and its low
price during an abundant season, have been eau
ses for great encouragement to the agricultural
community, and the attention Of the farmers ofthe
Northwest having been fortunately directed to the
breeding of sheep, the experiment has been found
to work admirably. and there has. for the past
three years, besn confnual clip Of wool sent
forward to market from the interior Of Michigan.
in the aggregate amounting 10 some millions of
pounds. The prces SO far havs been higher, more
uniform. and better sustained than those of any
other product Of the farm. and it is becoming pret-
ty certain that wool to be the leading agricul-
turaI product. A Michigan paper states that there
are runners all over the country buying up sheep
pslis at sxorbitant prices in some instances offer
ing 81 piece, which has the effect to induce far
mers to kill off large numbers Of their loeks. This
is very bad policy, and will esult in serious loss
to the farmers in the end.
