Buck Yields Fleece
Weighing ~ Pounds

The record breaking fleece Of wool
ever bought by H. willard. Son & Co..
in this city, and the record for the
state SO far as known. was marketed
Friday by w. H. c. Woodward & Son,
Of Marietta.
The fleece. from a registered Delaine-
Merino buck, bought by the Wood
wards at Frederickstown, O.. weighed
forty 1.-TWO pounds, and sold for $3.50, Is
cents a pound.
When 1t is considered that an aver
age fleece is eight or nine pounds in
weight, and that an exceptionally
heavy fleece does not weigh over four
teen or fifteen pounds. the immense
bulk Of the Woodward buck fleece can
be realized.
The Woodwards held the record at
the Willard establishment for a fleece
sold few years ago. This weighed
twenty eight and one-half pounds. 1t
was hardly thought possible, either by
the Woodwards or the Wizards, that
this record would be exceeded. but the
scales told a different story when the
Delaine- Merino wool was weighed.

that you cannot afford not to buy 1t.

a second chance, and watched them they went

they lay down the steep side of the slope, from
whence they commanded the whole Of the valley.

to large open patch of deep STOW. There was
nothing for it but to wait patiently and make my
self comfortable and warm as possible among
the boulders.
After an hour or so, about 1870 p. m, they
rose, stretched themselves, scanned the whole
countryside, and again moved slowly off, away
to the north. They were evidently in nervous
mood. Following them, after a while l crossed
the snow patch, ploughing through the snow,
which in places was up to my middle, and fol-

up out of the valleys and 1t looked like snow.

pull at my flask, followed along the north face
of the mountain. Avoiding the patches of soft
snsw, in which noticed the marks Of sleeps
hoofs, suddenly on the opposite side, and some
way below, saw my five old friends evidently
bent on shifting their quarters still further to
the west. They must have got my wind Clouds
occasionally hid me from the sheep, so, under
cover of these, determined to make a dash
back for less open ground, and to move down
and try to get in shot. I had now been steadily
ON the move for over twelve hours, and had
worked back towards the open valley, though
away from the camp. My hurried move failed.
Now that the excitement of the stalk was over
vented deep anathemas on the MongoPs head for
not having brought up the ponies. When within
a mile or so of camp was met by our whole
retinue, who had turned out to conduct me in.

that 1t was not such an easy matter. To follow
