for the sale of wool in Boston, who
has had great experience as a wool
stapler, both in England and in this
country, and is well acquainted with
the demand for the various kinds Of
wool. under date of.3d inst, writes
81 have just received notice that the
wool from the Michigan Agricultural
College farm has been shipped to us
| hope 1t is all Cotswold or grade
Cotswold, for that is what brings the
money. South Down and Merino
does very well, but is not equal to the
combing staple. | wish the College
would get flock of regular long
woods. There is no mistake about
combing wool it will be wanted at a
good price for many yeans. Good
Mutton, too, will always be wanted,
for everybody will eat it.-Lansing

submissivenesr Of that sex in general.
and particularly the subsection and
