The wool Clip OfEAenoslsa Co
In the absence ofanything like correct figures
as to the amount of wool sheared in this coun-
/ ty it is Of but little use to speculate. We are
certain that the quantity is as great as that
ofany other section of the State Of equal
population, and we are quite as certain that
the quality is second to none, We notice
in many Of our exchanges items giving the
result Of extra clips, in pounds sheared from
single sheep or locks. Our farmers hav e
been negligent in furnishing US with any
such figures, as data upon which to base an
item. We know there are enough facts of
the kind, if we could get them,
We heard incidentally, the other day,
that our friend L. EASTMAN of Pleasant Prai-
RE, who has some of the best sheep in the
county, sheared over % lbs from one Of his
Spanish Merinos.
Our friend II. A.Newbury of Paris. shear
ed from 106 sheep, 555 pounds of eileen
wool-entirely free from tags, dirt or oil, and
Of most excellent quality
Deacon Alexander Spence of Somers in
forms us that he sold his clip in Racine
last week, at Is cts. per Id. He did not say
how much he sheared
We should be glad to have our friends in
the county give US more of the facts in ref
erence to the quantity and quality of their
clips The publication of such facts will
not have tendency toinjure the sale of this
at present important staple, or bring disre-
pute upon the county. From present APP
Pearances many of our farmers will have
to put their main dependence for deposits
this season upon their woo-cIips
Several wool growers have commented upon
the article we published last week from the
Boston Commercial Bulletin entitled "West-
ern Wool. They all insist that one of the
principal reasons why no more pains are ia
ken to have wool in better order for market.
IS that there is no encouragement to do so.
The man who sells only clean, dry and light
aceces well put up gets the same price as
he who only half washes his sheep, and then
waits until they are dirty as before wash
ing, beforehe shears. BUYERS do not discrimi.
nate between lots (of the same grade of wool,
put mp clean and dry, and those prepared in
the most slovenly manner. This is actually
giving apremeium fora careless and sloyenly
Of wool for market which many
have not the conscience to resist. Fifty. Sixty
or even one hundred pounds are easily adj
ded to the weight of the clips of 100, or $50
teeces, under the carless system of buying,
