we extract therefrom the rules by which be
thinks those conducting this branch of farm
economy should be governed:
list. In shearing time, do not pen your
sheep more than half day at time. To
do so makes them weak, irritable, and diff
cult to shear.
ed. think the best plan is to shear on
q platform. sixteen or eighteen inches high
The sheep should sit on the table and resi-
its back and head on the left leg; the left leg
is on the table, the right one on the floor.
Commence cutting the wool at the brisket,
shearing along the belly. letting the WOO
roll to the left. where it will be out of the
way. When this is done, shear the flank
then commence at the point Of the shoulder
and run the shears TO the right ear; sheai
the neck to the left ear, and the left side as
far a. the backbone. Now change sides
with the sheep, standing the right foot or
the table, and finish the neck. Now shear
the right side. finishing on the right hinG
leg. In this way the fleece is kept whole
the sheep is turned but little. thus avoid
ing struggling. tearing of the fleece. anC
injury to the animal.
Within the last eight years have shear
ed Eve thousand sheep, without having tn,
fleece kicked to pieces, and seldom cut |
sheep. There is no excuse for cutting 3 f.
sheep. When badly cut they will always
kick, and then the shearer will pound then
