has 4.50000O sheep. Then come Idaho,

100000 sheep, and so on down the
list until the nations total reaches
the astonishing number Of 40.000.000
sheep. four-hfths Of which are west
Of the Mississippi river
To harvest the wool from such an
enormous number OF backs is sone-
thing that calls for expert shearers-
men who can handle the big shears or
the machine clippers with a skill that
comes from long practice. The shear
ing must be done at the right time Of

shearing comes too late the sheep suf.

case IS bound to lose weight and value.
To meet the exacting conditions class
