heart, to the deflement Of his whole

The Trueness of Wool.

Wool should be of the, same diameter
from root to point. This is called true
ness. OnNa poor sheep the wool grows
inner, on "a fat one coarser. Consei
quently a, change of condition in, either
direction changes the diameter of the
same fiber during the different stages
OF its growth When the change OF
condition is great, especially when 1t
takes place from a low and unhealthy
lstate 90 healthy, tleshy one, it gener-
ally occasions a joint in the wool fiber
in other words, the place in the fiber
where the change takes place is SO
weak that it takes only a slight pull to
break the fiber.
