Future Source of Combing Woods.
Shepherds National Journal

Shepherds National Journal
The steady Increase which is being
made in the worSled machinery of the
United States renders the source of the
comhing aud delaine woods Of the future
an interesting problem. During the
present season woods which had never
before been drawn upon Tor the purpose
have been used for comhing. Consd.
cradle fine delaine has been thrown
from Montana, and / blood combing
wunIs have been taken from Utah and
Wyoming and even from Georgia, one
lot Of 200, 900 pounds OF the clothing
wo"ls of that Stale having been picked
over and $4,000 pounds taken out for
combing purposes. Ii insufficient wool
tor worsted is developed in the United
States, there will probably he no lack
Of it in other quarters Of the world
New Zealand especially, is turning it,
attention to combing woods, English
grasses having been sowed there for
the purpose, and upwards Of 10000,
600 pounds of combng woods were
proddced there this season. The re-
cent visit tc Europe of Mr.. Joseph
Walwurth of the Pacific Mills, and
other leading buyers, suggest also that
the combing woods of England have
been drawn upon 10 considerable eA-
tent this season.
The question of an increased produc.
ton OF combing wools in this country
involves not only soil and climate and
breeding, but also scientific care and
treatment of sheep. Although owning
large Aocks, yet the sheep husbandmen
of New Zealand are extremely careful
to pursue such uniform methods OF
treatment as will ensure sound staple.
The equable climate also prevents the
necessity of housing the sheep in win
ter.
The future of Texas as a woolgrow.
ing section was referred to last week.
1t must not be forgotten that Texas
contains twice the area of Great Britain
and Ireland combined, and when the
soils of two counties like Kent anC
J Sussex in England vary so much as t,
render the wool Of the same race o
sheep far more desirable in one count!
than the other, it can be seen what al
opportunity exists for variety Of tn
woods Of State like Texas.

well, it is divided; possibly about even.

distrust the whole press. Gould repents ever

Col. Dast, of Georgia, who was an officer
in the Confederate army during the war OF
the rebellion, tells the following amusing
story. which has not heretofore appeared in
print: az have always had" said he, ogreat
respect for the vulor Of the Massachusetts,
troops, and there was one regiment particu-
larly-the Ninth-which fought US like
tigers. 1t so happened that during several
engagements we were pitted against each
other, and there was much desperate work,
can assure you. During one of our en-.
counters we were fortunate enough to sur
round one OF their companies, and as we were
shooting away they, seeing that unless they
surrendered they were certain OF annihila-
toned, showed the white flag. Unfort-
unately, this was not seen by my entire COM
mand, and several shots were fired after l
had gwen the order to cease. In the midst
of this desultory firing there came a strong
Hibernian voice from out Of the bushes:
