Sorting and Cleaning Wool.

The wool comes into the mill dirty, greasy. bury, sometimes washed by the farmer, but generally just as it is sheared from the sheep, filthy an dun wholesome thing, giving little sign of the beautiful, white and flossy sub stance into which it is soon converted. It must first be sorted, each. fleece con taining from six to eight qualities of sorts. which the careful manufacturer separates, devoting each quality to the purpose for which it is best suited. No skill in carding, spinning, weaving or finishing can possibly produce a soft or fine piece of goods from a coarse, hard fiber.
 When a wooden thread is to be spun to the length of 15, 360 yards to pound, or in the case of worsted thread to twice that number of yards to the pound. everything depends upon care in the selection ot the fleece and in the sorting. The sorts are inpregnated with greasy substance called the yolk or suint, caused by the animal secre- tions and the precipitation of the skin, compound of potash and animal fat, which must be completely eradicated. The elimination of the yolk, dirt and foreign substances common to all wools results in shrinkage of from 90 to 70 per cent. IS. N D. North in Popular Science Monthly.
