Some Last Years Figures That May Help
the WoolErowcr.
From time to time the attention of
woolgrowers has to DO called to the fact
that there is Il great deal Of shrinkage in
the wool when it is cleansed, and to this
many readers seem quite o%blivious. In
perusing the market they are led to won.
der why n party ~ get 70 to IS cents
for clean wool while they a probably
get % cents for their own.
Ohio and Pennsylvania feeces sell TO,
from q to 90 cents in the Boston market.
The same 1eeces when cleansed will
bring 50 to 60 cents per pound, which
would indicate that the shrinkage was
about 81 per cent. One lot Of this wool
sold at 27} cents, and when secured cost
6S} cents per clean pound. Some brook
washed wool Is reported as having been
sold lately for SO cents per pound.
Australian wool sells for IS cents pc,
secured pound. Some grades of wool
from this country bring as high as as, tc
u cents for Port Philip secured wool.
We + aware that there is much room
for defrauding the woolgrower out of
some Of the value of his wool in this
manner Of buying, as all woods are
bought on the secured basis and the per
cent Of shrinkage in dirty wool. The
buyer can assert that the woods from a
certain flock will shrink so or 60 per
cent. and it is liable to be accepted by
the grower. Such woods are selling at
40 to so cents per secured pound, and he
will pay for this wool in the dirt % cents
per pound.
How is this matter to be remedied:
There is n way of helping it. It is by
weighing a fleece accurately, securing it
we'll and then weighing it again accu-
rately-thus the per cent of shrinkase
a be ascertained. The secured fleece
can be sent along with the same consign-
ment Of wool to be sold. The wool.
grower can compute the value Of his
wool in the dirt by knowing the per cent
of shrinkage and by what he receives for
his clean fleece. Try this, and you will
not be compelled to judge the wool mer-
chant unjustly.
Let US see how this figures: The fleece
as it is taken off the sheep weighs IA
pounds; it is secured, thoroughly dried,
and when weighed is found to weigh
seven pounds. Seven multiplied by 100
makes 700. Divided by the weight Of the
fleece IA pounds) in the dirt, we find that
the shrinkage is so per cent. The wool
Is sent to the market, the cleansed wool
is sold for 80 cents per pound, the dirty
wool for % cents. Did you get enough
for your wool? Let us see. Your shrink
age is so per cent, you obtained so cents
for the cleansed fleece. On this basis
you should have received 25 cents per
pound for the wool in the dirt. When
wool is selling for 90 cents that has so
per cent %shrinkage, the cleansed wool
would be selling at A cents.
When doing up the wool. extract every
thing that is not wool, putting all the
sweatlocks, pulled wool and tags in a
sack separate from the good wool and
mark the difference in the returns

Glover Bloat,

Now is the time for the annual recur-
renee of this malady. Thousands of cat
tie die of it every year, yet there are very
many cattlemen who grow clover album
dainty who never have a case of it. It all
depends on how in%telligently the matter
is handled. The true practice is to never
turn cattle on fresh clover until all dew
or rain is thoroughly dried off, and then
only after the cattle are we'll filled up on
other grass beforehand. Agreat many
cases occur where cows have been yard
ed all night and turned out hungry in
the early morning IN fresh clover.

The Biggest Steer.

Several mammoth steers are to be On
exhibition at the Worlds fair, the largest
of them being Colonel Singerly's 1000
pound animal, bred and raised in Penn
sylvania. None of these very closely ap-
proaches in weight the centennial OK bred
by Samuel Barley of Somerset county,
Pa, and exhibited at the centennial expo
sition in 1876. This animal weighed 900
pounds. He was of mixed stock, boast
ing Of Shorthorn, scrub and Ayrshire
blood. The largest COW in the world
was raised by A. N. Meal of Moberly,

Live Stock Points.

The winter Of 1925 was aterrible one
for live stock in the northwest and espe-
cially for horses. Out of a band of 800,
an owner lost Is from starvation. One
entire herd of cattle starved and froze
to death, every animal of them. The
fault is largely with the owners of these
unfortunate creatures. They ought to
be starved for awhile themselves and
frostbitten just a little too. They DELHI
erately calculate the selling price of their
stock so as to cover their percentage of
loss from hunger and exposure among
the animals instead Of humping them
selves and providing shelter and food for
the wretched animals. No wonder west.
ern beef is considered tough in eastern
markets or that horses from the great
ranches sell low.
0. r. Gleason, the horse educator.
says he has Individually handled over
1000 horses.
Gleason thinks there can be such q
thing as a horse phrenologist.
Up to the close of 1892 there were alive
6S3 horses that had trotted in 2:2O or less.
Silo corn can be raised where it is too
far north to ripen field corn. At ex-vico
President Morton's Ellerslie farm on the
Hudson 80 acres are planted in corn n
nually to fill the silos for the Guernsey
cows.
A correspondent of The Breeders
Gazette admits that it is a debatable
question whether on the high priced
farming lands Of the east sheep can be
made profitable as a speciality, with
wool at Is cents q pound. But there is
no doubt at all but the small flock,
connection with mixed farming, can be
made to return good profit. There are
so many odds and ends that the sheep
eat up, and they often can be pastured
in spots which could not be utilized for
other stock at all.

the hearts, of the visitors.
Every delegate thought that he had
been assigned the best place, and had
been treated better than any one else.
Especially was this so of one of the
delegates from Davidson College, who
was highly entertained by one of
WinstOn's best and nOblest citizens.
So well did he like this place that he
could not bear to leave without a sad
and heavy heart: but when he depart
ed he left his heart, his hope, his all
in the care of one of WinstOn's most
graceful beautiful and accomplished
young ladies.

ChargedIWith Wrecking a Train on
the Roanoke & Southern.
The jury in the caseof Joseph Miles,
charged with attempting to wreck a
passenger train on the Roanoke and
Southern road near Martinsville, Va,
last October, was concluded in Henry
court April 18th by the jury bringing
in a verdict of not guilty.
The evidence was very contradict
Ory. Witnesses for the commonwealth
testified to confessions that Miles had
made to them, and also testified that
these confessions were made Volunta
rily ana without threats. The priS-
Oner went on the stand and said that
every confession that he made was
forced from him at the point of pis-
tol and that he had to make these con-
fesSions to save his own life.
The crime for which Miles was tried
was committed at a trestle over Ma
chine Branch Creek, near MartinSvile.
Miles had been employed as section
hand on the road and was discharged
for incompetency. The prosecution
claimed that in his confessions he
said he had piled distractions on the
trestle for the purpose of getting
even with Section Master Thompson.
the man who had discharged him.
Fortunately the train was not wreck
ed, although the pilot of the engine
was broken and the passengers re-
ceived a severe shaking up.
