A sensation was caused Sunday night

For the SPECTATOR
Why Wool Should be Assorted.

MR.. EDITORIALS the season for clip.
ping and marketing the wool crop of the
county is at hand, I have concluded to
venture some suggestions to the farmers,
which | hope may be Of value to them.
When the wool is clipped, each fleece
should be folded seperate and tied with
a small string. and marketed in that
condition for the following reasons, viz
The flocks Of sheep now bred in this
county are generally of mixed breed.
Some half blood Merino and South
down; some pure and half blood Cots
void. The wool from these different
breeds of sheep varies greatly in texture
and tineness; and often in the same
flock of sheep. you will find several
grades of woel-me6ium, (Which is
half blood, and from that to the comb
ing wool of the thoroughbred Cotswoid,
Ia grade which is now much wanted).
Now these grades are wanted by differ
ent dealers for different purposes, and
If marketed as clipped the classification
