How to Tie Wool.

Do not tie your wool with sisal or
binder Irvine. Wooden manufacturers
are UP in arms against this practice,
and are more and more refusing to ac-
cept from wool dealers wool that is
tied with stsal or binder twine. and
the time has come when the buyer OF
wool must discriminate against this
kind of twine. for the reason that III
untying the fieeces it is impossible to
remove sisal or binder Irvine without
leaving some of the fibre in the WOO.
and this causes q defect in the goods
when made to the annoyance and eX
pense Of the wooden manufacturer.
who has has to put such pieces OF
cloth among his defective goods.
In Ohio the tying up of tags in
fleece of wool is criminal offense,
and if discovered is punishable by i'm
prisonment or fine or both, at the dis
erection of the judge trying the offense.
It is in the power of the wool grow
ers to improve the value of their wool
by proper tying and tagging, using the
hard-twisted twine instead of the loose
bound wiry sisal. 1t is barely posi-
Bile that the wool dealers and manu-
facturers will refuse to accept wool
tied with sisal except at a discount
from a merchantable price.-Southern

Buying Small! Farms.

There has been a very noticeable
Increase in the demand for small
farms the past winter, mainly from
city men who have been thrown out
Of employment. In some sections
they have bought up practically all
the small farms in the market, paying
good prices for them, and generally
making the entire payment in cash.
Most of the purchasers are American
born mechanics and tradesmen who
have had a farm bringing-up. They
have saved a little money and now
when their source of livelihood has
stopped, they naturally turn back TO
the land where they know COM

zens is a large gain to any commu-
