to be parallel, as in cotton 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 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 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 fibers
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 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 series Of comb
ing processes, in each of which the particular
fbers suitable for certain purpose are ex-
tracted. The residuum after each combing Is
called waste, although its value per pound
may have been augmented by the extraction of
the lower-priced fibers.
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
$296,990,484 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,S52,967. Since
then there has been 43 per cent. increase in
the number of sheep, as appears by report
issued by the census Office on January 1, 1910,
which shows 57,216,000 sheep in the country at
the present time. These are valued at an av-
erage of $40S, giving total value of $233,644,-
600. BY the census Of 1900 the country pro-
duces 1885,, 5S4 pounds of sleeps wool and
961,32S pounds Of mohair and goat hair. Esu-
mating the same average clip Of wool as at that
time, the production of the country at the pres
ent should be about 4O0.000,O00 pounds Of wool.
In reality It 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

be classed under two heads-the Spanish 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 very char
acteristic appearance, which easily distin-
cuisines him from other breeds. He has 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
fibers are highly intoxicated and possess in the
highest degree fine felting qualities. The origin
of the Spanish Merino is not very we'll 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 a most
disastrous effect on the wool trade of Spain
and produced 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 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 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 rival but also in its
long-wool breeds it is without rival in wool Of
this character. The British breeds are CLASH

paca the guanaco, the vicuna or the llama, as
well as from the sheep. It 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
indistinct For instance the under covering
OF the camel may be camels 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 is generally more
important than any of these, varieties in the
serrations or fmbrications appearing on the
surface Of the fbers.
It Is important In considering wool as
commercial commodity to keep in mind the
three different kinds 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 is 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
%orsteds. 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 wool used for making woolens is card
ed; that for worsteds Is combed. The effect of
these two processes is that in the first the wool
fbers are crossed and interlocked as much as
possible, and in the second they are drawn out

breeds. The long-wool breeds are
the Leicester. Border Leicester,
Cotswold, Lincoln, Kentish, Devon
Longwool, South Devon, Wensley-
dale, and Roscommon.
The short-wool breeds-this class
includes among others the famous
mutton breeds-are the Oxford
Down, Southdown, Shropshire,
Hampshire Down, Suffolk, Ryeland,
Somerset, and Dorset Horned.
TAe mountain breeds are the
Chasiot, Blackfaced Mountain,
Hetdwick, Lonk, Dartmoor, Ex-
moor, Welsh Mountain, and Lime
stone.
All of these breeds are English
except the Border Leicester, Chevi-
OF, and Blackfaced. which are
Scotch, the Welsh which belongs to
Wales, and the Roscommon to Ire
land.
The Leicester from an historical
standpoint is the most important Of
the long-wool English sheep, and it
was the great reputation of the
wool of this breed that gave Eng
land in the past its prominent po-
sition as wool-producing coun-
try. Most important of all, it is the
Leicester blood which is the foun-
dation of many of the other best
English breeds and as such has ex-
tended itself over all the world.
The wool is fine, white, and long
stapled.
The Lincoln is the largest and
heaviest feeced sheep. Many Of
the fieeces will weigh from Is to 20
pounds, with a staple 20 inches in
length. The Lincoln resembles the
Cotswold, but has less-pronounced
tuft on the forehead and the wool
is closer curled.

The sheep pelt or the wool plucked
or sheared from it was the principal
clothing of man from before the dawn
of history down almost to the present
day. Now cloth made from vegetable
fibers. principally cotton, has a more
extended use than wool. But this does
not mean that cotton and linen are
dlsplacing 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 fibers or go unclothed.
The same fact is true of the product
of the silkworm; the supply can never
equal the demand Cotton, OF course,

the earth. In addition it has supplied
new articles of clothing to civilized
man, whose ancestors wore but little
else than wool. The European or
American of today does not wear less
wool; in truth he wears more, but he
also wears moro articles of clothing,
and these, for the most part, are cot

the world between the cattle and the
sheep industry, but there are some i'm
