A Cry For More Wool,

Figures given by the United States
Investor show that the price of native
wool in this country has Increased in
ten years three and in some cases four
times over what it was ten years ago.
Quotations in London and also in South
American markets show a correspond.
ing advance. This rise of prices may
stimulate the growth of wool in Aus
tralia and in South America, and also
affect the sheep growing industry in
this country to some extent.
Of late years sheep raising in the
United States has rested upon a NUT
ton basis-that is, the value of the meat
has been considered rather than the
value of the fleece For the past fif
teen years the number Of sheep has not
increased with the growth of popula
ton. One reason is that land, with the
exception of certain districts, has beer
too valuable for other purposes. But
If the crops are to rot on the ground
because of lavish abundance or for the
lack of harvesters or the means Of
hauling them to market farmers may
conclude that there is money in rails
ing sheep for the wool. The prospec
will be improved if science finds som,
way to stop the sheep disease whicl
has fastened its blight upon some O
the old wool growing sections.

Perhaps the most striking charac-
teristic of the late President Mckinley
was his sound judgment of men and
his ability to surround himself with
the ablest councillors obtainable. We
owe to this keenness in recognizing un-
usual ability the introduction into the
Cabinet of Secretary Hay of the State
| Department. Secretary Root of the
| War Department. Secretary Taft as
Governor of the Philippines and later
Secretary of War, and Secretary Will
son of the Department of Agriculture
All of these won marked success. Mr.
Hay became our foremost diplomat, If
not the worlds Mr.. Root carried the
burden of a war upon his shoulders and
at the same time reorganiZed his great
Department and the army; and Judge
| Taft's administration in the Philip
pines was so able and successful that ii
brought him place in President
ROOsevelt's Cabinet. With Mr.. Root
he is now talked of for President, and
if not that, place on the Supreme
Bench.
But of services rendered the country
looking to its internal development,
that of Mr.. Wilson in the great and
surprising domain of agriculture has
never been eQualled. He came to the
Cabinet both Il practical farmer and Il
trained scientist. From the tail end of
the Cabinet Departments he has raised
the Ministry of Agriculture to con-
spicuOuS position, outshining several
of the other Departments, and Ameri-
can agriculture has come TO have new
and greater world meaning because of
his active cOnstructiveness and never
tagging energy.
Secretary Wilson is rendering the
American farmer n notable service and
he has won the confidence of the peo-
pie to great degree as is evidenced
by the many tributes paid him since
the recent trouble in his Department.
Rather than being censurable for the
graft" discovered, it is 10 Secretary
Wilson's high credit that so little of
this sort of thing has occurred. 1t is
impossible to build up such an i'm
mense organization as is the present
Department of Agriculture without
some evil creeping in and without some
designing individuals getting onto the
pay rolls for the purpose of private
gain other than their salaries.
Secretary Wilson will not resign to
meet the demands of a few sensation
mongers, simply because the country
which is benefitting so largely through
his splendid work will not hear of it
any more than they would agree to
Secretary Taft's resignation following
the disgrace of every army officer, or to
President Roosevelt's retirement every
time that one of his appointments
turns out badly.

A feature of the work of the De

foreign agricultural exploration ana
the introduction of new and rare SEEDS
and plants.
American agriculture is a compara-

soil conditions are largely different
from those of old countries whence
our fathers came, and the bulk or our
agricultural products have been intro

may be that in some section of France,
or perhaps Turkestan, where the soil

much heavier and better yielder
than the kind that our farmers have
been growing since the Indians occu-
pied the land.
Secretary Wilson takes much stock
in his agricultural explorers, and he
has some energetic young men who
are both botanists and linguists and
have become almost as familiar with
the agricultural productions of some
little known and difficult to reach cor
ners of the globe as they are with the
farms of the United States. The writer

4 Peculiar Horse.

The excellence of the English Colo
NAL educational systems is evidenced
by the following interesting descrip.
ton of the horse by a Bombay stu
dent:
"The horse is very noble 1uadru
ped. but when he is angry he will not
do SO. He is ridden on the spinal cord
by the bride and sadly the driver
places his foOts on the stirrup. and
divides his lower limbs across the sad
die. and drives his animal to the
meadow. He has long mouth, and
his head is attached to the trunk by
a long protuberance called the neck.
He has four legs; two are in the front
side and two are afterwards. These
are the weapons on which he runs,
and also defends himself by extending
those in the rear in a parallel direction
toward his foe, but this he does only
when in a vexatious mood. His food.
ing is generally grasses and grains.
He is also useful to take on his back
man or woman as well rs some car
60. He has power to run as Cast as he
could. He has got no sleep at night
time, and always standing awaken.
Also there are horses of short sizes.
They do the same as the others are
generally doing. There is no animal
like the horse: no sooner they see their
guardian or master they always crying
for flooding, but IL Is always at the
morning time. They have got tail, but
not so long as the cow and other such
like similar animals"
