his glory in Australia, for that Is the
place where the wool comes from.
was particularly lucky in arriving at
Sir Rupert Clarke's Belinda Vale sta
ton, which is rs miles from Melbourne,
when the shearers were at their busiest.
After q lengthy trial, Lincolns have
been discarded in favor of the Leices-
ter, which is found to produce a more
shapely cross with the merino, which
natures early and carries wool of ex-
ceptional brightness.
The Wolseley shearing machine, the
invention of brother of our field mar
shall, and an erstwhile New Zealand
squatter, which is in use, is wonderful
instrument.
The cutter is best compared with a
horse clipper, the power being commu-
nicated by stiff cord revolving in a
pliable hose, which, with universal
joint, allows free play to the operator
within the radius of the hose.
The sheep are brought into the shed
at one end and put into two rows of
pens in the center, with an alleyway on
each hand. and the shearers are placed
singly, four or five feet apart, on each
side of the passage, so that shearer
takes his sheep from pen in the CEN
ter, shears it, and turns it down shoot
at the side of the shed leading into a
yard, and that sheep is free TO raise
another fleece.
In all, about 10000 sheep will be
shorn, tally below the average of the
past few years, due mainly to the heavy
sales in the previous season and re-
duction in the number of lambs bred.
In addition to the shearers IA in

the fleece to the skirters, from whom
it is taken. minus the heavy or inferior
parts, or skirts" as they are called,

Learns About the United
States.

1t has been frequently remarked that
the Filipinos could have no conception
of the extent and resources Of the
United States or they never would have
been deceived into the haliucinaton
that they could successfully combat us.
In going through their school here |

which, III less than hundred manuscript
pages, was composed AL Of syntax and
geography that was taught tne children
here. And it must be reinem bered that
Malolos, before the insurrection, was
an important city in this part of the
world, and one where the children
would be expected TO receive the aver
2ge education. Turning t. Cae of toe
pages of this book that | picked up, |
found the United States Of America dis
coursed upon Immediately after Nj
gricia and just before Mexico. Here is
the entire lot of information given as TO
the United States, in the form Of ques-
tons and ansers:
Where is this country (the United
States situated? In North America.
What are its boundaries? TO the
north, British America: to the east, the
Atlantic ocean and the Bahama chan
mel; 10 the south the strait of Florida
ana the Gulf Of Mexico. and to the west
Mexico and the Grande Pacific ocean.
What is the form of government? 1t
is Il federal republic.
"Of what is this republic composed ?
Of 40 different states.
what are its rivers and mountains?
The most notable rivers are the M;sisipi
(Eteral spelling), the Niagara, the Mis-
sori (again the literal spelling), the
Colorado and the st. Lawrence, and the
principal mountains are the Cumber-
land and the Rockies
what is the capital? Washington,

The Apples Hardness.

Thousands of little apple trees, some
already five inches high, have been
found growing on the western shore of
the islands of Null and Iona, on the
Scottish west coast, just above high
water mark. and the crofters are trans
planting them to their gardens. The
seedlings have grown.from the apples
cast ashore from the Dominion line
steamer Labrador, wrecked last fall
The London Daily Chronicle calls this
"a practical demonstration of the hardi-
ness and vitality of apple pips." hut
whether the hardness consists in re-
sisting the sea water or in enduring
the climate of Scotland it does not say.
