Heavy Yield of Wool.

The Elizabethton Republican says that
Mr. Joseph McCorkle of Carter County,
few days ago, clipped thlrty-six pounds
of wool from three sheep, two of them
being one year old and one of them two
years oldi He also clipped thirty
pounds of wool from five ewsl This
large yield of wool from eight sheep, is
certainly highly profitable aud satisfac-
tory. If proper spirit Of emulation
could animate and control the farmers
of the country, and urge them to en-
deavor to surpass each other in the
management of their various farming
operations, and thereby receive the most
abundant compensation for their labors
whilst it would be commendable and
worthy of the highest praise, would at
the same time afford the most certain
and sure defence against the injurious
effects Of hard times.
