There wasn't corporal's

on the Fourth. The weather
was perfect and the few who did
not go to Albany or Philomath,
made up picnic parties al took
TO the woods. Flags floated
from all public buildings and
many residences were decorated
with bunting, but all business
houses were closed, and only the
occasional report of a frecracker
broke the stiffness.
The only event of the day of
any interest to Corvallisites was
the trap shooting contest at Phil
omath i'll which the following
team from this city was entered:

a given breed OF sheep will pro-
duee III one county a superior ar
ticle of wool, whereas, in the
county adjoining, in which soil,
precipitation of moisture and cli-
luatic conditions are apparently.
the same, {, wool fibre less valu-
able to the manufacturer will be
produced by the same breed of
sheep. Only by the microscopic
examination Of the wool can
these tllings be determined. 1t
is possible, i'll the light of the
cxperi1n ei1tation which has been
carried OH i'll this direction, to
reach absolute demonstration,
and leave 10 room for doubt. I
believe that in future years, the
exanina ion OF woods under the
microscope will be as much ne.
cessity to the wool grower as a
knowledge Of the market cond:-
tions and acquaintance with the
habits and needs of sheep,>as re-
CARDS their healthy growth and
propagation.
CHANGING to observe the un-
usual brilliancy of the Indian
robes and blankets made of woods
raised on certain breeds Of sheep,
1 was led into course of special
4 inquiry, while pursuing the ex-
perimentation as to wool fbres,
with a view to determining, il
possible, the reason for this brill
liancy of coloring. Side by side
with the notes made during the
examination of the wool SAM
pies, I also, made record Of that
which, in its completeness con
Acluslvely proved to me why some
:. woods take the dyes i'll the mills
SO as to produce colorillg more
, brilliant than those of any made
, from other wools, and the reasot
is simply tllis-these woods con
{ tain less of pigment, (ce1orins
matter which is a part of al
| hair or wool), thus permitting
the artificial colors of the dye:
to stand out with greater distinct
, ness, not neutralized by an ex
| cess of pigment in the natura
:, structure of the wool.
