PecuIisrities of Russian Winters.


There is one curious thing about a
Russian winter-in the latter part Of
October or the beginning of November
the weather will be quite mild. Not a
sign can be seen of an approaching
change, when suddenly, without any
apparent warning, light haze will be
seen in the northern sky, and in twen-
ty-four hours the thermometer may
fall so degrees. The change is so sud
den and violent that travellers are fire.

farmers out looking after their f1ocks
have been caught in one of these bliz-
yards and, missing their way home,
have lost their lives, their bodies re-
naming under the snow until the fol.

VALUE OF CHEESE.

Cheese contains all the ele-
ments Of nutrition, but, like all
other animal food products, 1t
Is liable to be contaminated by
disease-producing germs. Fresh
cream cheese, properly pre-
pared, Is a safe and nutritious
food, though IT contains nothing
that can not be obtained from
nuts and good bread. The Vege-
tartan can get from cheese the
aIbumen and other essential ele-
ments of nutrition, which the
meat-eater gets from flesh.
Cheese combines well with
bread, but not with fruits. Toast
ed cheese 10 indigestible. Maca-
roni and cheese form q nutri-
tious nitrogenous food of which
one may, however, easily over
eat, but the same elements Of
nutrition are supplied by nuts
and bread, and nothing is gained
by constantly varying the diet,
If one is satisfied to live on a
simple ration and enjoy the In
creased mental, spiritual and
physical benefits that accrue.

to be parallel, as in cotton or linen. Wooden
yarns. although hard-spun, look and feel light
and fluffy. Worsted yarns appear finer and
stronger.
The weaving of the two kinds of cloth is
not unlike, at least not to the unskilled OBJ
server. except in one particular. and this is q
most important one-woolens are fulled and
worsteds are not The fulling of the cloth, ac-
complished by heat, moisture and pressure,
brings together and interlocks, by means Of the
imbrication of the fiber, the several threads
entering into the cloth into q more or less
felted whole. The cloth shrinks. sometimes as
much as one-half. and in such material. as for
instance the so-called doeskins and broadcloths,
1t appears and feels like felt.
1t is this process of semifelting the cloth.
made possible by the peculiar lie Of the nbers
in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from
, worsteds. Formerly, entirely different classes
of wool were used in the two cloths-for wool,
ems. the shortstaple, highly imbricated carding
wool, merino for example; and for the worsteds
the long-staple. slightly imbricated or smooth
combing woods. BY modern machinery It is
possible now to use the short-staple woods In
making worsteds.
In practise the raw WOOL after being washed
and secured, Is subjected to a series Of comb
ing processes, In each Of which the particular
fibers suitable for q certain purpose are ex-
tracted The residuum after each combing Is
called waste, although It's value per pound
may have been augmented by the extraction Of
the lower-priced hbers.
According to United States census reports.

American industries The total capital invested
was $310,17s749 and with an output valued at
$296990.484 a year. In the classification
adopted the manufacture Of clothing Is not in
cluded. Since 1900 there has been an enor-
nous increase In the wool manufacturing In
dustry, principally in the manufacture Of
worsteds. At the same census the number Of
sheep in the United States was 39,862967 Since
then there has been ~ per cent increase in
the number of sheep. a. appears By q report
issued By the census once on January /. 1910.
which shows 57.216.000 sheep in the country at
the present time. These are valued at an AZ
erage Of $4.0S, giving total value of S233.644s
600. BY the census Of 1900 the country pro
duces 27e.5e7.Ss4 pounds Of sheep's wool and

the British breeds. The Spanish breed is the
Merino, which has modified more or less the
sheep Of all Europe, including the British is.
lands, North and South America, South Africa
and Australia. The Merino has a very char
acteristic appearance, which easily distin-
cuisines him from other breeds. He has a thick
covering OF wool over the forehead and cheeks,
his horns are large, ponderous and convoluted
laterally. The wool is long, SOFT and twisted
into silky looking spiral ringlets. The wool
ibers are highly imbricated and possess in the
highest degree fine felting qualities. The origin
OF the Spanish Merino Is not very well known.
but the breed Is known to have as foundation
the original breed introduced into the PENN
sula by the Romans upon which was crossed
certain English sheep, most probably the Lei
cester. or Lincoln sheep.
Up to the time Of the Napoleonic wars, the
position Of Spain In the wool trade was at the
head. Spanish wool went all over the civilized
world and enjoyed reputation for being the
best However, the peninsular wars, with the
attendant evils following thereon, had most
disastrous effect on the wool trade Of Spain
and produced depreciation in its quality and
consequent loss in expectation for the wool
Of the famous breed.
Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary in
ITS and to France one year later-the most
famous French Merfno Is the Rambouillet
Spanlsn Mer1no6 were nrst brought to Ram
bouillet by Daubenton In 1882, and from this
first importation the breed was developed. u Is
now known all over the world as one Of the
best Of the Merino strains. Spanish Merinos
were brought to the United States in the early
coloniak days. but the breed was lost in pro
miscuous crossing with the earlier imported
British breeds. The first Spanish Merinos
whose descendants have been kept pure were
brought to the United States In 1902
Merinos were taken to the Spanish-Amer-
lean colonies almost with the first colonists,
and are the foundation and almost the sole
foundation OF the so-called native breeds In all
the American Latin republics. but the breed
was not kept up, and consequently decayed
even more rapidly than subsequently in Spain
following the Napoleonic wars.
While Spain has the honor Of having pro
duced the most valuable single breed Of sheep,
bred for wool peculiarly. suitable for clothing.
the British islands have produced the greatest
number Of valuable breeds Of sheep bred for
wool suitable for al purposes, and even for
the particular purpose for which Msrino wool

land, or Germany, or the eastern half of the
United States, not because Of wool, but because
of mutton. The fleece Is by-product, just as
the hide OF the steer or of the dairy COW is
by-product; the principal value of the animal Is
its flesh. In the new sheep centers Of South
America the principal value Of the animal Is
its wool, and fortunes were made from the
focks even when not pound of mutton was
exported or sold.
Wool, as the word is used in commerce. is
not product alone of the sheep. It may be
wool. although 1t comes from the backs of sew
eral varieties Of goats, from the camel. the al
paca. the guanaco, the vicuna. or the llama, as
well as from the sheep. 1t is the thing itself
and not the geological classification of the ami
NAL which determines whether the fiber Is
wool. hair, or fur. Since the classification is
commercial and not scientific the line between
these three classes Is necessarily vague and
tndistinct. For instance, the under covering
of the camel may be camel's wool or camels
hair, and SO we have alpaca hair or alpaca
wool. From the sheep there are many varieties
of wool, long and short. straight and curly,
coarse and fine, and, what II generally more
important than any of these. varieties In the
serrations or imbrications appearing on the
surface Of the ibers.
II Is important In considering wool as
commercial commodity to keep In mind the
three different kipHs of cloth made therefrom.
These are commercially known In English as
felts, woolens, and worsteds. The processes in
making these three kinds of cloth are so diff
ferent as to make them entirely different in
dustries, employing entirely different machin-
cry Felt is made from the wool or fur In
mass, the cloth holding because Of the lock
clutch Of the imbricated FIBER Woolens and
worsteds are spun from threads. but the
threads in the two kinds of cloth are prepared
in different manner. and the weaving IL en-
tirely unlike. Formerly, entirely different
kinds of woods were used for making
the two kinds Of cloths, or rather It Is more
accurate to say that only certain kinds Of
woods could be used in making worsteds. Al
most any kind of wool could be used for ma
king woolens, although some were much more
suitable than others. and. as rule. those least
suitable for woolens were best suitable for
worsteds. In effect, therefore, certain woods
were used for woolens and certain other woods
for worsteds. With the improved modern ma
chinery used in worsted mills these limitations
are fading away. so that worsteds can now be
made from woods formerly not used for this
purpose.

The Leicester from an historical
standpoint is the most important OF
the long-wool English sheep, and 1t
was the great reputation Of the
wool of this breed that gave Eng

Cotswold, but has less-pronounced

is closer curled.
The wool of these sheep has a

The sheep pelt or the wool plucked
or sheared from 1t was the principal
clothing Of man from before the dawn
OF history down almost to the present
day. Now cloth made from vegetable
fbers. principally cotton, has a more
extended use than wool. But this does
not mean that cotton and linen are
displacing wool as an article Of hui
man wear. Far from It; the use Of
wool constantly advances by enormous
strides, and the even greater advance
in the use Of cotton Is due in no small
measure to the fact that the supply of
wool can not meet the demand for
clothing Mankind must perforce wear
the vegetable ibers or go unclothed.
The same fact Is true OF the product
OF the silkworm; the supply can never
equal the demand. Cotton, of course,
has conquered for itself a new field,
the clothing Of the unclothed races of
the earth. In addition It has supplied

It has rarely happened and can

sheep for their wool is one of the we'll
