they receive low prices for the clip.
Another thing, all burrs ought to be
clipped out of the fleece. The Wool
Grower, calling attention to this subject.
says:
If sheep are ranged in section where
burrs grow, of course their fieeces will
be more or less infested with the nuisance.
and the wool will net the owner three
cents pound and upwards less, depend
ing upon the amount of burrs and the
price of wool, than if free from the de-
feet; for if buyer can feel few burrs
in m MAC . of xp<.~, H. >.>.---s
tfat the bellies and flanks of all fieeces
of that clip are loaded with buris, and
he makes his offer in accordance with
that view.
When shearing is progressing, the men
who are tying up the fieeces can pass
their hands over each fleece as it lies
upon the wood table, and in a few mo-
ments can clip off the burrs with pair
of shears. If they are unable to keep up
with the shearers and do that, we think
it would pay the owner of the wool to
put an extra hand or two at the work,
and let them pass the fleeces along to
the men who tie, as fast as the burrs are
clipped. We hope some of our friends
who are so unfortunate as to have bury
wool will try our plan, and see if they
cannot save money by the operation.

Brussels Sprouts and Savoys.

For delicate form of cabbage Brus-
sells spro ITS are TO he commended. These
require rich soil. The plants ought to
receive The same treatment as do cab
bages, but the sprouts last all summer,
and sho aid therefore be placed where
they can have the whole ground for the
season. The plants grow with large,
loose, cabbage like top and tall stalk
below, over which little cabbage like
heads form, which can be gathered all
summer and until the hard frosts of the
north may destroy them. At the south
they endure the winter.
Most people who consider cabbage an
essentially coarse food are unacquainted
with the Savoy class. Even the Savoys
which have been crossed and increased
in size and coarseness, like the Drum
head Savoy, are still far superior to the
ordinary flat Dutch and Drumheads. And
now we have variety known as the
Melted Savoy, which~combines fair size
with the highest quality.

Singular Trip Of a Rlnr.

An Englishman told a story the other
day about an odd trip that his diamond
ring once took in London. He had
stepped hurriedly out of an under
ground railroad train, and his ring fell
from his finger as his foot touched the
platform. He felt the ring slip of and
turned around quickly to see where it
fell, but not quite quickly enough. He
concluded that it must have rolled un-
der the train, and as soon as the cars
had moved out of the station he began
to search along the track. The ring
was not to be found. and he reluctantly
relinquished the search, telling rail-
road employe however. what he had
lost He finished his business sooner
than he had expected, and strolled
down.to the station to see whether the
ring had been, found He had only
faint, hopes that it had been found, but
he hunted up the railway employee. The
two men talked about the ring while
standing on the spot where the Eng
lishman had stepped from the train. As
they were chatting train came into
the station. - The Englishman. saw
something glistening in front of him on
the ioOtboard Of the train. Il was the
