10 CHOOSE A SHEEP FOR Wool.
always assuming that the wool to
be inspected is really fine wool, we
first examine the shoulder at the part
where the finest and best wool Is u.s.
ually found. This we take as the
standard, and compare it with, in
turn, the wool from the ribs, the
thigh. the rump,a and the hinder parts;
and the nearer the wool from these
various portions of the animal ap
proaches the standard, the better.
First we scrutenizc the hneness ;
and if the result be satisfactory. we
pronounce the fleece, in respect of
fineness, very seven" Next we in
quire into the length Of the staple;
and if we find that the wool on the
ribs, thigh and back approximates
reasonably in length to that of our
STANDARD, We again declare the sheep,
as regards length of STAPLE, true and
even. We next desire to satisfy
ourselves of the destiny Of the fleece;
and we do his by closing the hand
upon a portion Of the hump and of
the loin wool, the fleece at these
points being usually the thinnest, and
faulty; and if this again gives salts
faction. we signify tho tact by desig-
mating the wool ''even' as respects
density.
Now to summarize these separate
examinations: If you find the fleece
