WOOL FOR MARKET.
Friction between Buyer and Grower.
Wool No Longer Washed.


In the putting up of wool for mar
ket there has long been cause of va
rance and Friction between grower and
buyer in all parts of the country. The
buyer complains of filthy tags and dirt
in the fieeces and of the use of unnec-
essary quantities of unreasonably large
Irvine of quality that Injuries the fab
ric in the manufacture. On the other
hand, growers say that when they ex-
ercise the greatest care in all these re-
spects the buyers will allow no dis
elimination in price. There is doubt
less SOME truth in these cOuntercharges,
yet a lot of fleeces carefully handled,
of even quality, would claim some
consideration from a practical buyer,
or they could be sent to reliable COM
mission house and command a price
that would pay well for the extra care.
There is evidently room for much i'm
provement on the part of seller and
buyer, and the subject is worthy of the
thoughtful consideration of both.
The ACCESSIBILITY of washing sheep
before shearing has long been sub
ject for discussion. Its purpose is the
better condition and higher price of the
wool. The difficulty presented, which
appears to be insuperable, is in obtain
ing uniform condition of cleanness.
Necessarily some fiocks have more for
eign matter in their fleeces than others.
There is always great difference in the
amount of yolk or grease, which the or
binary washing does not affect
Facilities for washing are very poor
on many farms and ranges, and differ
ent methods of washing are very un-
equal in their results. If grower Is
not inclined to be exactly square in his
dealings, or If his perceptions of strict
honesty are little confused by the
unfairness of buyers in making no dis
elimination as to degrees of cleanness
in buying, he may slight the process or
drive the flock through muddy water.
AS a rule, the grower evidently intends
to be honest. With all these obstacles
it seems to be impossible to assure any
great degree of uniformity in the
cleansing of fieeces by farm washing.
Then 1t is desirable to shear early to
give the flock better chance for COM
Tort ana growth In the warmth or later
spring and also to obtain an opportu-
nifty of choice of time in selling, prices
often being better in the early spring,
but very early shearing involves a risk
of injury from exposure.
Altogether, most flock raisers prefer
not to wash, and nearly all dealers
unite in a preference for unwashed
woods. They find so much unevenness
that in buying washed wool they usu-
ally make some deduction from estab-
lished washed rates and in some cases
pay little more than for unwashed. II
is said that much of the country wash
ing is positive disadvantage in scour.
ing the wool. Therefore the practice of
washing is declining. In many dis
tricts it has been almost abandoned

the sewing machine, right through the
center. This saves an incredible
amount of difficult work, and the stays
are thus as firm as the lining is flex-
ible and never rip loose, like whale
bone. When these are all done, the
outside Is to be put on. This may be
tucked, shirred or simply gathered,
leaving the finishing touches to be add
ed after the rest is done, and this Is In
such cases accomplished with lace of
some kind. The prettiest back for q
silk waist is to have very few gathers
right in the center of the back at the
waist line. The underarm piece is COW
cred with the dress material or the
stuff, whatever 1t may be, for the
waist, and the four back pieces are
sewed and boned, after which the silk
is basted closely all around, save under
the arms. The material Is then cut
and is made three inches wider than
the lining at the bottom and one inch
at the shoulders. This is then gathered
at the center of the bottom of the back
and basted down to the lining firmly.
The fronts are treated in the same
way. only three inches should be al
lowed on each side. A fold one and a
half inches deep is to be laid along the
fronts at EACH side. The whole is to be
basted together and gathers run in AT
the bottom of the waist and this basted
firmly. If the waist is to be bloused
the bottom Of the two fronts should be
sloped down from nothing to three
inches at the front. This is then
brought up and basted to the lining
This has to be done on the lady or Oh
her nodded form.
The waist is now ready to sew up
and all the side seams are solidly done
and boned. Some dressmakers put a
line of the special featherbone around
the bottom, as 1t holds it firmly and
smoother than any amount of stitching
could do. OLIVE HARPER.

MOST PEOPLE LOPSIDED.
Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears of Men and Women.

Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears of Men and Women.
The two sides of a persons face are
never alike. The eyes are out of line
in two cases out of five, and one eye Is
stronger than the other in seven per-
sons out of ten. The right ear is also,
as rule, higher than the left.
Only one person in Is has perfect
eyes, the largest percentage of defects
prevailing among fair haired people.
Short sight Is more common in town
than among country folk, and of all
people the Germans have the largest
proportion of shortsighted persons.
The crystalline lens of the eye is the
one portion of the human body which
continues to increase with the attain
ment of maturity.
The smallest interval of sound can
be better distinguished with one ear
than with both. The nails of two
fingers never grow with the same ra-
ing the fastest, while that OF the thumb
grows the slowest.
In "a cases out of 100 the left leg
is shorter than the right. The bones
Of an average human male skeleton
weigh 20 pounds, those of a woman are
six pounds lighter.
That unruly member, the tongue of
a woman, is also smaller than that of
a man, given man and q woman of
equal size and weight. 1t may be ap-
palling to reflect, but it is nevertheless
true, that the muscles of the human
Jaw exert a force of over 500 pounds.
The symmetry which is the sole In,
telligible ground for our idea of beauty,
the proportion between the upper and
lower half of the human body, exists
in nearly all males. but is never found
in the female. American limbs are
more symmetrical than those of any
other people. The rocking chair, ac-
cording to an English scientist, is re-
sponsible for the exercise which in.

Wild carrot is sometimes a trouble

one is careful to prevent these Towering

The home dressmaker must have the
same utensils as the regular dress
maker If she would have the same
success. No one can cut right with
out good scissors nor measure without
tapeline, nor can she make the seams
look right without heavy pressing
iron. A low table to bring up in front
of her and even over her knees in bast-
ing and laying of trimmings is neces-
sary; also one Of those funny little
things more like half a barrel stave
than anything intended for pressing
sleeves and collars. The most of our
home dressmakers have dress forms,
made of tin covered with black cloth,
and these are great help, as they can
be adjusted to each figure much as
shoemakers make a last This does
away with much wearisome fitting, as
the form takes the place of the woman
for whom the dress is being made, and
it can be stood on a low table and
draped and finished without firing the
dressmaker.
To have a waist or skirt look Just
right all the Innings must be new. 1t
is false economy to try to save by
using an old lining, even IL it does look
strong. 1t is like putting new wine
in old bottles.
For waists there is a pretty lining,
white or light gray on one side and fig
ured on the other. Also this comes
with the outside black. Mercerized
sateen Is used now almost exclusively
for skirts and sleeves, except where
silk is preferred. But cloth or other
heavy wooden material wears so much
longer than the taffetas that 1t is far
better to use one of the cotton Innings.
Then one can have silk petticoat
which can be worn with all dresses.
The mercerized Innings have been
brought to great perfection.
1t requires one yard and three fourths
to make a tight waist Of any goods A
inches wide. Many of the woods are
now produced in 60 inch widths. This
is to allow Of cutting skirts in three
pieces.
In these days of excellent patterns, to
be found in every village and city, it Is
not necessary to tell how to draft a
waist lining, and so only reference will
be made to the diagram In this column
1t consists Of four pieces-viz, front
side body, back and underarm piece
The line across the bottom shows

sary. All the seams can be made to fiji

demand. All the fine silk separate
waists have tight lining, and all the
seams are staid with featherbone
castings. These are ready to sew to the
seams and are covered with silk ribbon
or cotton tape, according to the desire
of the purchaser, but both have the
same strength, only the silk is dearer
To apply this for silk waist the seams
should be fitted to the body, and al
