be classed under two heads-the Spanish and
the British breeds. TIL 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
a~cteristic 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 intoxicated and possess In the
highest degree fine telling qualities. TIL origin
Of the Spanish Merino is not very well known,
but the breed is known to have as a 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 a reputation for being the
best. However, the peninsular wars, with the
attendant evils following thereon, had a most
disastrous effect on the wool trade Of Spain
and produced a depreciation in its quality and
a consequent loss in expectation for the wool
Of the famous breed.
Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary In
1775 and to France one year later-the most
famous French Merino is the Rambouillet.
Spanish Merinos were first brought to Ram
bouillet by Daubenton in 1882, and from this
first importation the breed was developed. 1t 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
colonial days, but the breed was lost in a 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 c~olonists,
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 all purposes, and even for
the particular purpose for which Merino wool
Is best suited, but little inferior thereto. OF
course in the mutton breeds Great Britain has
always stood without a rival, but also in its
long-wool breeds it is without rival In wool Of
this character. The British breeds are classi-
fed as long wool, short wool and mountain

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it | had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema In my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then | thought I would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun.

good citizens as you'll find anywhere;

A Practical Discourse.

One stormy day the children were
amusing themselves indoors, playing
church. "Now, Florence" said Theo-
dore, "Tll be the minister and tell you
what you must do, and you'll be the
people, and you must listen and do
what I tell you" Climbing up on a
chair, he began his sermon Florence,
you must be a very good girl and do
whatever your brother wants you to-,
If he wants your playthings, you must
let him have them, and If you want
any of his, you just let 'em alone."-

to be parallel, as in cotton or linen. Wooden
yarns, although hard-spun, look and feel light
and fluffy. Worsted yarns Sppear 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 a
most important one-woolens are fulled and
worsteds are not. The fulling of the cloth, &C.
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 a 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,
it appears and feels like felt.
1t is this process of semifelting the cloth,
made possible by the peculiar lie of the fbers
in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from
worsteds. Formerly, entirely different classes
of wool were used in the two cloths-for wool
ems, the short-staple, highly intoxicated carding
wool, merino for example; and for the worsteds
the long-staple, slightly intoxicated or smooth
combing woods. By modern machinery 1t 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
fbers suitable for a certain purpose are ex-
tracted. The residuum after each combing Is
called a waste, although it's value per pound
may have been augmented by the extraction Of
the lower-priced fbers.
According to United States census reports,
manufactures of wool rank tenth in the list Of
American industries. The total capital invested
was $310,179,749 and with an output valued at
$296,99O,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 80, 1852, 1857. Since
then there has been a 43 per cent. increase In
the number Of sheep, as appears by a report
issued by the census office on January /, 1910
which shows 57,216,000 sheep in the country at
the present time. These are valued at an av-
erage of $4.0S, giving a total value of $685., 644,-
600. By the census Of 1900 the country pro-
duces 276,567,584 pounds CT sleeps wool and
961 1923 pounds Of mohair and goat hair. Esti-
mating the same average clip Of wool as at that
time, the production Of the country at the pres
ent should be about 100000, 900 pounds Of wool.
LIP reality 1t should be greater, on account Of
the improvement in sheep breeding.
There are several hundred varieties Of
sheep both in the domestic and in the wild
breeds. The former have been under the do
minion OF man since before the dawn Of his.
