Australian Wool Oompstition.

This is subject of supreme interest to
all American wool growers, and any
means which are employed by our Aus
tralIan brethren in bringing the golden
fleece to the highest state of perfection
cannot fail to interest our readers The
theory of DR.. Bowman-probably the
most eminent authority on wool-that
only perfectly healthy SKIN can grow
the best fleere the breed can develop, re-
ceives its practical solution in Australia
IN the manner endorsed by the doctor,
viz: that of dipping, and the practice of
annual or semi-annual dipping Is viewed
in Australia as a matter of great i'm
portance and is everywhere common
Many of our western sheepmen have al
reedy adopted the practice and find it
quite paving investment, while it also
gives an assurance of clean flock dur
ing the year, that is. if first-class dip be
used DR. Bowman favors the celebrated
