The Way 10 Judge Of Wool ON Live
Sheep.

THE finest and softest wool is always
found on the shoulders of sheep. But
not one person in 10000 is aWsre OF this
fsd. Let Us watch an expert when he IS
about TO pass Judgment on & sheep con-
cerning the value of the animal Tor pro
duciRg wool. and it will be seen that he
alwAys looks Al the wool on the shoulders
first. A writer Of extensive experience
in rearing flne-woeled sheep and IN hand-
ling wool communicates the following
suggestions for selecting a good Woolea
sheep. Always assuming that the Wool
to be inspected is really tine wool We
first examine the shoulder at the part
where the finest and best wool Is usually
found. This we take as the standard,
and compare il with the wool from the
ribs, the thigh, the rump and the shoulder
parts, and the nearer the wool from these
various portions of the animal approach
es the standard the better FIRST We
scrutinize the tineness, and if the result
be satisfactory we pronounce the fleece
in respect of tineness very" even Next
We inquire into the length OF the staple,
and if we find that the wool on the ribs,
thigh and back apprOximateS reasonably
in length 10 that Of ouI standard We
again declare the sheep. as regards
length of staple, true AMI even We
next desire 10 satisfy ourselves Of the
density of the fleece; and if we do this
by closing the hand upon portion OF
the rump and of the lOin wool, the fleece
at these points being usually the thlnncst
and faulty, and It this again gives salts
faction We signify the fact by designat-
ing the wool even" as respects density.
Now to summarize these separate exam
nations: If you find the fleece Of nearly
equal fineneSs from the shoulder 30 the
thigh; of nearly equal length on the
shoulder, rib, thigh and back, and of
density on shoulder and across the loins
you may conclude that you have nearly
perfect sheep for producing valuable
wool Selecting sheep for valuable
feeders is quite another thing.-N. Y.

4 Bad Manager.

WHAT picture for hose about to
marry" Is thus given in the .Suurday Re
ciS,r Of i wife who Is a kad manager:
Her dress is always stained with the
dToppingS of her teacup, and she has no
intermediate state between uutidiness
and tincry. She puts on her best clothes
for morning walk, and keeps nothing
for her visiting days. Her piano always
wants tuning, and She never remembers
the date of the taN-cullectOr'S visits. She
fOrgetS her gloves or her Card-cas till
she has arrived at the hall door. and
when they are brought the gloves ALWAYS
want buttons, and there are no cards in
the case She never learns the rate Of
postage, and writes her foreign letters
after The mail has gone out. \ drive in
q cab involves a fight about the fare. and
she brushes the muddy wheel with her
dress in getting out She expects her
servants 10 do everything without in
stTuctIonS, and usually speaks of them
a. wretchcS' While she cXaCts oh
SequIouS respect from them, she talks be
fore them of their shortcomings. She
gives them needless trouble by her lazi-
ness or CarelesSneSS, and, while she does
nothing for their comfort, expects them
10 study hers constantly. She will
thoughtlessly ring them up to the top of
the house 20 put on the Goals which are
IN the scuttle beside her chair. and Will
Lcedlessly send them three or four er-
rands when little fOTethought on her
part would have maze one enough. She
never interests herself in their welfare.
hardly knows their names. never spares
them when they are i'll. or thinks of how
she may save them trouble She pro-
yldeS 10 wholesome literature for their
leisure reading, and does not inquire af
ter the proper investment OF their little
savings. Their wages are ALWAYS in ar
rear, and she habituallY temptS their
honesty BY leaving her purse or her let
tiers lying about, and yet frequently sus-
poets them without cause. She charges
them with thgfr and untruthfulness on
the smallest grounds, and constantly
tancieS that they are looking al her
through the keyhole or listening behind
the door. She Is indignant when they
give her notice, snd refuses them a char
&Cter when she finds that tney cannot
compel her 10 give them one. She
knows nothing of them after they leave
her, and never concerns herself IN oct
them places She expects them both 10
oe up before her in the morning and also
to SIT up late for her al night If She i
Ill they must attend her Ike nurses rise
TO her call st all hours OF the night. and
Work for her in every respect as if they
loved her.
