Miss Thompson, whose form nature

had spelt be, be. and he. he, and
now she was trying to get him to tell
her what me spelt.

JUDGE SHEEP FOR ITS WOOL
Portion Just Over Animals Heart
Bears Finest Fleece, While
coarsest 10 Over Thigh.

To judge sheep for wool produc-
ton one should remember that the
long wool breeds show coarser fiber
than those OF the short woods, says
an Oregon bulletin. This coarseness
should not be allowed to become ex-
IRENE. The fleece should be thick
and clean; the fiber strong. bright
and free from dark or creased
spots. In the medium woods a thicker
fleece Is desirable-thickness suffi-
cient to turn rain. The fibers, as in
the long woods, should be relatively
long, clean. lustrous and contain an
abundance OF grease.
To examine a fleece, the portion
just over the heart is noted to dis
cover the finest wool and that on the
thigh the coarsest. There should be
as little difference In the fleece on
these parts as possible. To open the
fleece, place hands palm down on the
fleece, and, pushing down slightly.
pull the hands apart This breaks the
fleece without tearing. II the fleece is
heavy It breaks on a smoother line
than II light, when the fibers are
quite likely to be intertangled.

Sheep on the Farm.

A great deal has been said. and

to the benefit Of every farmer to keep
them. 1t is refined animl. nd not q
