PREPARING WOOL FOR MARKET.

The season of sheep shearlng Is at. hand,
and to know how best to prepare wool Tor
msrket is what many sheep ralsers nave to
learn. Each may think his way the best,
ard whether it is or not, if the buyer cannot
he made to think so, it is of little avail. A
fleece of wool should be in such a condition
that it may be unrolled or spread out like a
niece of cloth for examination. 1t should
90 to, market clean and white and well tied
up, showing no tears Or ragged edges. a
dirty, carelessly handled lot OF wool can
never be made to bring what it would sell
for if care and skill were exercised in its
preparation for market. There has been a
tendency in the past to find some excuse
for sending wool to marketin an uncleansed
state; but We think the mistake has been
discovered, and the wool crop beginning to
receive the attention that it did thirty years
ago. Give your wool the greatest attention /;
if you expect the best offers, see that it is
c]eansed from all dirt by washing, either on
the sleeps back Or after shearing, and ev-
cry fleece put up in good style. When this
is done, the full value of the article will be
paid you by the purchaser, and no discount.

ments show that they have made a home.
and they need have no fear that the sheep
owner will herd i'll their yard, or even any
nearer them than they would to a fellow
shepherd. Both these industries are OF
great Importance TO the Territory and de-
serve to be encouraged to the fullest extent.
Which will prove OF greatest value to the
country in the long run, is hard to tell.
Sheep husbandry is redoubling much more
rapidly now and bids fair to for years, yet a
decade may bring a showing OF profits in ia

We would advise our friends who are in
either business to look out for a place to
stay by. Either business will warrant this.
Lay your foundations deep and strong for

All branches of husbandry have a mutual
interest. 1t is but one science and followed
by one people. and he that tries to stir up
strife is no good citizen. Each and every
one should be sufficiently satisfied with the
bountiful gift of nature in spreading out a
domain of such wonderful advantages,
without c%ontending with his neighbors, lest
he should be able to utilize more of it than
himself. Let all follow the golden rule and
life will pass in a smooth unbroken current,
whether he be herdslnan or shepherd, or a
poor printer, and must see natures wildlux-
uriant fields grow, bloom, seed, wither and
die, and have naught thereon to feed.

WOOL-GROWING.

Some of the movements looking to a
large increase of the foreign commerce OF
the Republic, look to immense importations
of foreign wool from Montevideo, Buenos-
Ayres, South Africa Chill, Australia, etc.,
which, while praisworthy and desirable in
one way, is not so in another. For while it
increases the import trade of the country
handsomely, it interferes with the progress
of the domestic woll-grpwing interests, now
so extensive and productive in all sections.
During the protective era which commenced
with the passage of the Morrill, Tariff, the
American wool product, has become one of
the greatest in the world, and at the same
line American manufactures of wooden and
Worsted goods nave attaiaed colossal dimen-
sions.
If it be, urged that foreign woods are still
necessary to the progress Of the domestic
manufacture, it is equally true that the im-
.portations. of foreign wooden and worsted.
goods continue to be very large and do not
seem likely to cease, and although we ex-
port cotton: and even silk goods successfully
we make no progress toward exporting
Wpolen goods. 1t is urged that this could
be done if the duties ON foreign wool were
reduced. But as we get most of these for
eign woods from the great English wool
factors, we should still be at a disadvantage
in using foreign woods. The manufacturers
talk freely about differences in the staple
and quality of the woods, just az The manu-
who use iron and steel profess to
see some indispensable quality in the for
eign raw materials. This may b e,true, but
the way to remedy the difficulty seems to
us to be to endeayor, to produce all the re.
CURED varieties of raw materials at home.
In Judge Kelley's recent Tariff speech he
threw out the idea that the true basis for
free-trade should be crude and raw materi-
ais. Ihe Judge did not seem to be aware.
that while this might free the imports of
wool and chemicals, it would also free iron,
steel. copper, salt and innumerable other
articles. Doubtless the time will

avs the culture of this staple may become

lobly with our manufactures of wooden and
yorsted goods. With our varieties OF soil
nd climate, we do not believe that it will
re impossible to naturalize all kinds of wool !
that are required by our indus
ries. This tendency has been wisely slim
llated by our wooden and worsted manu- (
a%cturers, who know the advantage oil be-
able to rely upon an unfailing supply of
homegrown wool. This has led to a vast
of the internal enterprise of our
wool merchants, and to a CORES !
