er at the Comolli plant, had gone to the
engine room to make a few repairs, and
il was while his back was turned to
the air compressor that portion of his
trousers became entangled in swiftly
revolving nut which secures a fly wheel
to the machine. Almost within a mo.
ment, the garment was reduced TO shoe
string sizes and Mr.. Comolli was fac
ing the prospects of serious injury. He
had the presence of mind. however. to
grasp something stationary in front of
him and il was this thoughtfulness that
kept him from being swept onto the
wheel.
Some of the men in an adjoining room
heard his cries for assistance and quick
lv brought the machine to standstill.
Young Mr.. Comolli was extrieated from
his dangerous position at once Beyond

After settling all the questions as to
environment or location, Including
their adaptation to profitable sheep
husbandry and his own knowledge Of
and fondness. flor the business, the
prospective shepherd will want to
know which one Of the numerous
breeds Of sheep will best serve his pur-
pose That Is rather broad question
and can not be answered off.hand and
should not be settled lightly.
Among pure bred sheep we have
three distinct types and a number of
sub'types more or less closely identi-
fed with these three. First the fine
wooded or merino type, which may be
classified as the wool type, represent
ed by the Spanish Merino, Delain and
Ramhouillet breeds. Second, the mid
die wool type, classified as mutton
breeds or Down breeds, represented
by the Sonthdown. Hampshire, Shrop-
shire, Oxford and some others. Third,
the long wool type, which, also falls
into the mutton class. and limited TO
the Cotswold. Leicester and Lincoln
breeds. All Of these types and breeds
have their admirers who maintain that
each one Is the best. In general way
we would say all Of them are right.

which it Is to be kept, and which is
most nearly adarted1to the purposes

The first question to settle Is wheth.

consideration. II wool growing is to

though in some sections Of West vfr.
ginia, notably the northern Pan.han.
die, the Spanish Merlnos have long
been successfully and probably kept.
For some inexplicable reason that
class OF sheep has been found more
profitable in that section than any.l
where else In the state. Among the
good points Of the Merinos may be
named their ready adaptation 10 eli
matte conditions, their ability to

The mutton breeds, including the
