Preparing Wool for Market.

At the threshold of another wool clip
The Prairie Farmer again calls the at
tention of farmers and flock men who
will have wool to sell the Importance
of presenting it in market in good sal
able condition, because the price they
will receive depends so largely upon
this that it cannot be too strongly.
urged. Let it not be forgotten that
the margins for profit in manufacturing
are not what they have been, hence
manufacturers look closer than ever to
the condition and shrinkage of woods
and the cost of wool to them when
thoroughly secured is the basis on
which they must necessarily make their
estimates. To bring full current prices,
wool, whether washed or Hnwashed
must not only be in good condition, but
should be tied up in fieeces, each fleece
carefully but lightly tied up by itself
Trg locks should be cut off when the
wool is sheared, and all pulled, dead,
chaffy, bury, and poor wool kept sep
arate. Wool tied in feeces will bring
more than if united, for the reason that
if united it becomes more or less broken
and mixed,in handling, and more diff
fcult to sort. Other. facts should be
recollected; quality, is an important
element, as the poorer bred and weaker
staple woods will waste more in being
carded, and will not make as good
quality of goods as the high bred,
strong, healthy WOOL. hence are not
worth as much. Therefore in flock
where there is considerable difference
in the quality of feeces, it will pay to
separate it into lots. Washed wool
should be thoroughly washed, else it
may not bring its full value, but to
avoid that constantly recurring ques-
ton as to whether a given lot of wool,
or some fleeeeS of a lot, are properly
washed, some believe it is much better
not washed at all, as it will sell just as
