Sheared In instaIIments.

Sheep are put to double use in the
northern part of India, in the Hima-
layas. They are driven from market
to market with the wool still growing,
and in each village the owner shears
as much wool as he can sell there and
loads the sheared sheep with the grain
he receives in exchange. After his
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each animal carrying a
bag of grain.
