WILL GRADE MOHAIR
Mohalr Growers Meet and Discuss
Best Methods of Preparing
Product for Market.

All mohair prepared for shipment
to the Eastern mills by the members
of the Polk County Mohair Association
will hereafter be sorted into four
grades instead Of being packed with
out regard to quality as heretofore.
This course was decided upon by a
unanimous vote at a we'll attended
meeting of the goat men in Dallas
last Saturday afternoon.
Breeders were in attendance from
all parts of the county and enthusiastic
interest was manifested in the pro-
posed movement to market the hair
according to grade. Wilson Ayres Of
Dallas, gave an excellent talk on
grading and packing. He illustrated
his remarks with samples of his own
shearing and grading, showing how
the hair should be prepared for ship
ment Mr.. Ayres' advice and instruc-
tions we're Of great practical value to
the growers, and his kindly interest
was deeply appreciated.
According to the rules adopted, the
hair will be sorted into four grades,
as follows: No. l, kid hair; No. 2,
yearling hair; No. 8, wethers and
coarser grades; No. 4, taglocks,
stained and coarsest hair. Where
growers have only few goats, it will
not be necessary for them to sack each
grade separately. A layer Of paper
placed between each grade will be suf-
f1cient for all practical purposes
Owners of large flocks should sack
each grade separately.
Sacks can be obtained at different
places in the county as follows: A. E.
Myer, Falls City; Miller 4 Alcorn
Airlie; w. T. Eakin, Rickreall; I. A.
Riggs, Monmouth Peter Cook, Balls
ton; Ivy & Paine, Sheridan; J. w
Briedwell, Amity J. M. Duffield, Nc
Coy Ellis & Keyt, Dallas.
Shearing is now in active progress
and the greater portion of the cliE
will be stored in the warehouses with
in the next two or three weeks. Tht
date for the sale Of the pool will b.
fixed later in the season.

Lie Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud Of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, our, everybody S
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find
allies in the very elements as colds,
influenza, catarrh, the grip, and pneu-
monia do in the stormy month OF
March. The best way that we know
of to guard against these diseases is
to strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla-the greatest OF all life
guards. It removes the conditions il
which these diseases make their mos
successful attack, gives vigor ant
tone to all the vital organs and func
tions, and imparts a genial warmth
to the blood. Remember the weake
the system the greater the exposure t
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla make
the system strong.

he offends against one of his heros most
