The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-08-02

Shearers and handlers should spare
no pains in preparing wool for market;
moth Nc pays better than nice handling
of wool at shearing time; while wool
containing hurrs, filth, chat, seed or
other eXtraneous matter loses much
more in value than it makes up in
weight The proper folding and tying
of fleeces is very important, and should
receive much more attention than it
does. Keep the body of the fleece whole
a continuous Irvine, when properly
done it can not be improved upon by
any of the presses. Fleeces should be
squeezed or turned so tight as to make
them feel soggy. but should be left soft
while elastic and woolly The most de-
srable shape is near the cubical, in
large Heeces, having more length than
width or thickness; small and medium
heeces should be twined twice each
way, large ones twice one way and
three times the other; if very heavy,
more will be needed. The best condi-
ton and appearance of wool will de-
pend very considerably on how it is
piled, if not sacked Immediately after
shearing it; this should DO done with a
view to keeping symmetry of shape, but
handlers should not make the pile
bulky or heavy enough to compress the
bottom feeces too hard, which, how
ever, is not likely to occur with clips of
light wool. Sacks should be filled with
the same view of preserving fieeces in
rs good shape as possible, and not any
harder pressed or tramped than is nee
essary to keep in place, and not have it
''shuck' around in handling and trans
porting. 1t is economy TO use plenty
of sacks rather than to pack so hard as
to scare buyers of extra weights. The
nice, smooth, even filling of sacks adds
TO the attractiveness of a lot Ship in
clean cars, as fine dust Sits through
the sacking and often gives very bad
appearances to all the outside lleeces.
BURY woods are classed rs slightly
bury or such as can be hand picked
at a cost of from one cent to three cents
per pound; "burry," which may be
hand-picked at cost of from four to
seven cents per pound, and "hard
bury" which can be freed only by
machinery. This latter class, no matter
how healthy the growth be, is degraded
in selling price to about the same as
the lowest and meanest class of wool in
like condition.-Sap francisco ChrOH.

Only seven Northern States have n
higher colored population than 10000,
and of these the highest is Pennsyl-

Gated the fact that the white population
doubles itself in every twenty-five
years, while the negro does 50 in every

in one hundred years the negroes in
