The American vs. the Australian Merino
Fleece.

Some years since there were some Merino
sheep sent from Vermont over to the Worlds
Fair at Hamburg, we think, and they sur
prised the sheepmen of the old world for
their great size of carcass and the fine quality
and heavy weight of fleece. Some of the
specimens sent over took first prizes in three
classes. From that time to this America has
been looked upon as an important country for
sheep husbandry, and we have given to the
Merino sheep q new appellatiOn: the Amer
lean Merino-in contradistinction to the
French and Spanish Merino Australia,
however, has always claimed to be
little ahead of the United
States, or at least to be fully equal to this
country in the production of good sheep and
good wool. However, even the Australians
are learoing that to keep up their hocks to
the highest standard, in carcass and fleece,
they viii have to come to America for an in
fusion of new and more vigorous blood, as
the following facts made public by W. G.
Markham, Secretary of the National Wool
growers Association, will show Some time
since Mr.. Markham received from John l..
Curry, one of the most prominent of Austria
Ian sheep breeders, two entire heeces which
had been taken, he said, from his best sheep,
and sent to this country to show what
Australia can do in the production
of fine wool. Upon the receipt of
these deeces Mr. Markham, under the
direction of the National Associat on selected
two American deeces, and sent the four to a
wool, securing and grading establishment in
Boston, with directions that each fleece be
secured and graded, and that the result be
kept with great care. The scourers were
given no information as to the object of the
trial, or as to where the feeces came from.
All were treated alike, and after they were
secured were appraised by competent judges.
The American heeces produced 81 pounds,
while the Australian produced but a pounds
of cleansed wool. The American wool was
valued at IS II, while the Australian was
valued at 81 80. These facts be-
ing published, have attracted the at
tention of the Australian sheep-owners,
and they, like sensible business men.
are acting upon it. AS consequence, Amer
lean bred Merinos are coming into demand
for the Australian market. Among the Aus
tralian breeders who have ordered American
sheep is Mr.. Thomas Mcfarland Of Mel
bourne. Hearing of the above-named COM
parsons he came to this country and ascer-
tanned the statement to be true, and that the
American deeces were not exceptional, end
that the American Merino combined the
most desirable characteristics of heavy car
cass and large yield of fleece. He ordered two
rams and two ewes, to be shipped to Mel
bourne for bis sheep farms.

Year-round plan of conducting the dairy will
cost but little more than the old half-year
plan, and we are well satisfied, from personal
experience and observation, that it will pay

DENoMINATIoNAL DIVISIONS IN SooT-
IAND. Professor A Balmain Bruce of
Scotland gives the following brief explana-
ton of the denominational divisions in his
own country "The doctrine, OF course,
is the same they only differ IN few
questions of church government. The Free
Church of Scotland admits the right of the
State in molding certain forms OF church
government, but has resisted the manner
Of interference. 1t has always held to the
opinion that the State interferes too much
with the liberty of private judgment, and
hence has separated from its dependence
and support. In its principles the Free
Church Of Scotland resembles very much
the Presbyterian Church of America. which
in it's action and deliberations Is entirely
free from the interference Of tine State.
The Established Church OF Scotland, of
course, enjoys the full privileges Of church
protection. The United Presbyterian
Church Of Scotland denies totally the right
of any interference on the part OF the State
with church government.

Russia and America as Wheat Compel
itcrs

But few years ago Russia was looked
upon by America as formidable competitor
for supplying Great Britain and the wheat
buying countries of the eastern continent with
wheat This year we have sent wheat to
Russian ports to be consumed by Russian
subjects. This has been brought about by
two causes : One the slack and slovenly man
ner of Russian agriculture the other the ex-
tension of the area of wheat grown in the
United States. Our own people were some
what surprised at the first announcement
that Russia had to buy wheat Of America,
but the Russians were also dumbfounded, and
scarcely believe the truth yet. Our wheat
growers may feel q just pride in this histor-
ical fact, but they should not fail to
draw from it an important lesson
that any soil by long continued culture
in wheat, with poor cultivation, and
without feeding, may be exhausted. Let us
be stimulated to avoid the danger which
threatens every country when farming
is not done with an eye to the perpetuity of
fertility of the richness of the soil. When
the American wheat crop gives out there will
be no other resort.

Prices of Jarsey Cows.

The Prairie Farmer gives an account of a
sale of Jersey cattle on the 26sh day OF Octo-
Der at Dexter Park, Chicago. The cattle
were from two herds, one bred III Iowa City,
Iowa, by Judge B. G. Luce and son, and the
other from the herd of Moses Ellis of Franz
ingham, Massachusetts,. They were all regis
tered cattle, OF were entitled to registry. The
Iowa cattle were in good trim and condition,
but those from the East were not looking
well after their ride on the cars from their
home to the place Of sale. There were of the
Iowa herd q cows sold at an average
price of S159, and the average of all the COWS,
heifers and calves of both herds sold was
Sl2S. The bulls did not sustain as good prices
as the cows. We state these facts for the
benefit of those who think of buying Jersey
COWS either for the dairy or the family
These are not extra prices, but they show the
appreciation and value of this class of stock
in the best stock market in the United States,
and they show that the prices of this class of
dairy COWS are not depreciating TO any extent
