Wool Growing in Australia.

Correspondence Journal Of Agriculture.
Wool growing is the one industry Of
Australia; wool ia the one article of
export, upon which the people Of the
colonies directly o. indirectly depend
for their occupation and living. There
are more square miles Of territory In
Australasia than there are In the
United States. Under these ciTcum-
stances, 1t is not surprising that Aus
tralis is to day producing one fourth
of the worlds supply Of woOl-over
65,OOO,000 pounds per annum. This
enormous quantity OF wool has re-
quired the most perfect system for its
production and manipulation, and bust.
ness methods control the breeding of
ewes, the raising of the lamb, the feed
ing of the flock, the ahearing of the
sheep, the handling Of the fleece, the
baling Of the wool, the carrying to the
railways, the hauling to the sea, the
transport to England, the storage there
and the auction sales where 1t is finally
disposed Of. There is method In every
move and the whole is an evolution.
Every device and convenience which
experience has suggested or skill could
construct, has been provided at every
point, and at every stage there Ia ad-
mirsble system, and system gives

has had command of almost unlimited
means at very low rate Of interest.
The squstter has thus readily obtained
cheap money to carry him "till the
wool comes in," or over a season OF
drought, or to hold the entire clip for
better market. Money matters never
bother him, unless the price Of wool be
too low,
The governments have built hum
dreds Of miles Of woven wire fence,
and have expended nearly 10 million
dollars In efforts to protect the wool
growers from the rabbit pest. Rail-
ways, wharves and docks are all gov
ernmentsl institutions, and special
rates are made on them for the SQUAT

for long periods, upon terms which are
equivalent to q gift, at rental Of $486

is not taxed, his land ig low priced, he
pays O nominal rent when he pays any,

A cock fight, ludicrous because Of

tiny bantam weighing at the outside
not more than one and three fourths

sixteen pounds. Yet, despite this ad.

between the cutting and stacking, as
the rain bleaches lt, and the leaves fall

Cnltinr. curing and staeking Alfalfa.

Tno proper Time 10 cut lB Wheu IL
fairly commences to bloom, let that be
May or June. Unlike other plants
which yield but one crop In the season,
alfalfa begins growing again immedi-
ately after 1t Is cut, so that what dimi-
mutton of weight may be suffered on
account Of early cuttings is made up
in sfter-growth and subsequent crops.
Do not cut too much at once or more
than can be readily handled when
cured, for reasons which will be given
later on. The first crop contains more
water than will be found in subsequent
ones, and the mower, In consequence,
may be used at all times of the day
without prejudice, but later on In the
season the best time to cut is In the
forenoon, while the air and alfalfa are
yet, to degree, moist; often the liqui-
dation of the moisture by the action of
the sun and drying winds, the knives
of the sickle will accumulate gum,
while in use rapidly, thus causing heav-
Ter draft, extra wear and friction on
all parts Of the machine, especially the
sickle. AS remedy, water should be
kept at one corner of the field, and ap-
piled by pouring on the knives of the
sickle each round, which will loosen
the gum and cause it to rub off easily,
Otherwise, sooner or later breskage
of the mower will occur somewhere
usually the sickle-hesd); then, as Is
often the case, the mower, the agent
who sold 1t, and the manufacturer,
come in for a full share of abuse, when
the fault was with the driver, whose
mind and body had been allowed to
lapse into a state of inertia.
Next, how to cure alfalfa so as to
retain its bright color and nutritive
properties, requires watchfulness, Wig
ilsnce and prompt action at the right
time, or the best re suits will fail to be
obtained. Would advise the alfalfa to
be rsked into windrows ss soon as
practicable, that is, as soon as it has
dried sufficiently to be taken up with
out being unduly trying and slavish to
the rake, and allow it TO cure princi-
pally In the windrows, where the green
color and leaves are better retained. |
On account of the humidity of the at-
mosphere, the first crop, as a rule, cut |
In June, requires to remain untouched |
as it falls from the mower, for longer
period to cure than the after crops; the |
time to so remain must be determined |
by the drying.out conditions then ex-
listing, usually from one to two days.
The following crop can frequently
be raked the same day it has been cut.
During the drying months of August,
September and October have had the
rake follow the mower within two or
three hours after the cutting; for, un.
less quickly placed In windrOWs, a loss
In color, leaves and weight will follow.
After being raked into windrows and
the work Rccumulates SO that IL can
not be readily stacked when cured, it
should be placed into nice, well,rounded
shocks, which protects it from the dry.
Ing SUN and scorching winds, and l
am not snre but it's the very best way
to cure the alfalfa. In the shock the
alfalfa may be allowed to remain until
0ne can feel certain 1t has become ripe
