1t may not be out of place 10 give a word of
advice to farmers, now that the clip is so near
approaching, about the manner of washing their
sheep and doing up their wool. They must un-
derstaDd thar there 10 now in the eastern mark ct
a much closer inspection of the wool tina. has
heen for some years past that half-washed and
un'agged wool, with heavy Strings, will NOT
sell for the same prices as well washed wool,
but will be subject TO a discount in proportion
to the amount of dirt which they contain and
they must bear in mind thai dirty wool ylll
not command as ready sale as clean wool: and
those localities which become notorious fo,
heavy wool will be avoided, and as this class Of
wool ie sold in The eastern market, SO ii must
he bought OF the farmer. Some are IF the opin-
ION that 1t the wool is not washed at ali the diff
hcdity might be Obvated, but they must bear
in mind that there are different degrees of clean.
ness in uDwashed wool as well as washed wool ::
some farmers would take care to keep their
wool clean some would allow it to aceumu late
all the dirt it could. the best way for all ia To-
put their wool upon the market in the best
manner possible; then they will have better
market and command the beet price. The finer

ported since it was reporsed from the Ways

which were of essential Importance. 1t de

tary genius of the age We have hung it

The same paper lately published most
glowing eulogy on jeff. Davis, in which he
was called a true patriot, great statesman,

OF course, the President and all Union

copy his dying confession and cite that fact
as proof of his morality and virtue.
