upon the subject, the result of many
years experisnce in the business.

ed before shearing, according to the
dust, and dryness of the weather. To
have the wool right, the sheep, after
washing, should be kept in a field well
set with short grass, and free from black
stumps or logs. They should be washed
in clear water until the water leaves
the wool clean. This a be done in a

HOW TO SHEAR
When shearing, the fleece should be
kept as unbroken as possible, and hould
be done up in the following manner: =
TYING UP H FLEEC
Place the cord on the table double,
having each cord about 5 inches apart,
with the loop from you. This is the
first step toward good rolling. When
the fleece is shorn, leave the topszof the
wool out; take the neck in the lefthand,
and the but in the right hold the left
fast, and give the butt a slight jerk,
and the fleece will fall into good shape
for rolling. Now remove all tags, burs

fleece eampact now urn the side Of the
fleece next to you half over, then turn
the belly to you, so as not to DO On the
press the side and make it
tho proper breadth and length, accord
ing to the size of the fleece. To keep
the fleece from breaking, lay your arm
along the center, and double over it !;
then draw out your arm, and place your
knee On the fore end of the fleece ; roll
from the tail, packing with one hand as
you roll with the other. When nearly
take the knee from it, and turn
the fleece, with your breast pressing
against it turn in a little of the other
end, pressing the fleece FIRMLY with
your breast; now take the fleece and
lay it on the cord, tie tight, and when
tied lay it upon the table if not good
you can improve it by pressing it
into the shape you disire; after this is
done, pack it away nicely in clean
room, garner or box; put a weight up
on it, and have it ready for market
