DRUGLESS HEALING.

On account OF the rapidly increas-
ing popularity of Osteopathy ! have
had TO employ an assistant and do
not need to advertise for patients,

ronage, but,
Believing that the public should
be enabled TO discriminate between
Osteopaths who spend three years
IN college and other drugless prac.
titioners who get their training by
correspondence, we call your atten-
tion TO the following facts:
Osteopathic colleges require three
yeats' attendance and Osteopaths
qualify and pass examinations be-
fore medical boards, while diplomas
to practice any other system OF
drugless therapeutics can be obtained
by correspondence for S25. whereas
the Osteopath who qualities as a
physician is out three years. time
and expense, estimated at $4,000 TO
$4,000.
The public should beware of the
man who poses as a physician and
tells you that he has something bet.
ter than Osteopathy but admits that
be got il by mail and that the course
OF instructions and the diplomas
only cost him S25.
Osteopathic literature is free and

The contention of counsel FOR the as

w charges were made. they were too
general In character.
In rendering his decision, Judge Tuttle
Such bill could not be specific, but

fncturer by inspecting samples OF
each class knows exactly what he is
buying, The main portion or the
fleeces or in other words the best OF
each feece-brings the price, such
wool can always command when ii
is segregated. The FIRST and second
pieces, the necks, the belly WOOL,
the hooks and other wool or low.
er grade bring lower prlces, or
course, but the higher price OF the
best of the heeces predominates.
Or let ne illustrate 1T this way
the bulk Of the fleece or sheep is
hipb grade wool that should bring
anywhere from p to % cents a
pound, The poorer portions of the
fleece bring from 16 to IS cents.
When wool is properly shorn and
prepared for market the high
grade portions OF each fleece are
segregated and the grower there
fore receives from p TO % cents
uound for the greater portion OF
his wool. This is the case In Aus
tralia. remember. and not in your
western states here.
Intermountain sheepmen, on the
contrary, receive the lower price OF
from l6 to IS cents Il pound for
their wool, because the fleeces are
poorly clipped 10 begin with; they
are neither skirtcd, classcd or
picked; they are thrown promiseu-
ously into bags and tramped by
men in heavy boots, thereby
brcakino the feeces and permanent.
ly iniuring them so far as their
market value is concerned, and
finally, because tho buyers have no
means of knowing how much high
grade wool is mixed with the low
er grades and dirty wool. These
BUYERS average the good with the
bad and hammer the price for the
whole clip down to about the level
the poorer portions Of tho clip
should bring, alone, were they prop
erly prepared.
The difference is 80 evident and
the superiority Of the Australian
system seems so obvious that I hes
itate to draw further comparisons.
Result Is Evident.
Now, what happens in your
western states when the wool
grower has disposed Of his poorly
Clipped, ruinously and conglomer-
ately packed wool to the middle
men at price for the entire lot
that should have been paid for the
poorest Of the clipS
The middleman must perform the
task of chasing, skirting, picking
and properly packing the wool,
and this the work the grower
should have done as the fleeces
came from the backs Of his sheep.
The middleman work takes the
profit that belongs to the grower.
Can the Australian system be
adopted on short notice in the in
termountain states, and at small
expense7
Yes-beyond any question
7 am acre primarily to explain
again and again wherever and
whenever sheepmen will listen, the
details OF the Australian meth.
ods. | am not here to organize dis
tricts or. put into operation from
an administrative standpoint any
portion of the Australian system.
But in the three months I have
been preparing myself for my work
here for Mr., Cosgriff I have gath
ered together plans, contractors
specifications, equipment data and
everything else pertaining to the
erection OF completely equipped
shearing stations. [ can and will
turn these plans and data over to
the sheepmen Of any and all sec
tions who get together and form
districts and decide to put up
central shearing stations and
adopt the Australian system.

THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL S. 1914.

His drive 10 the central shearing
shed is made in easy stages, SO as
not TO overhead the flock. This
brings his sheep to the shearing
shed with cleaner wool than would
be possible IL he drove hurriedly,
thereby forcing excessive yolk up
into the WOOL whore 1T catches
and holds the dirt and dust stirred
by tho moving sheep. Upon ar.
rival at the shearing shed the sheep
are run into what is known as the
"sweating pens, where they are
held over night under conditions
that starts the yolk up into the
fleece in just the right quantity.
Down to System.
The shearing sheds are splendid
ly built and are mostly in the
form of a T.. The sheep of but
one flockmaster are handled in the
establishment AT any one time.
The flock is driven from the mus
tering pens to the sweating pens
and then to the feeding pens,
where they are segregatod-the
ewes, rams, hoggets and weathers
going into separate pens.
From these pens they 60 to the
catching pens. These are pens ar
ranged down the sides Of the cen
ter of the building, and before
each pen stands the man who does
the shearing. The sheep are put
into individual catching pens to
obviate the custom practiced by so
many shearers in crews not properly
organized, Of rushing about among
the. sheep to try and secure the
ohanyx Xn ek
the sheep and keeps tho shearing
der the Australian system Of
catching pens, each shearer knows
exactly what sheep he is to clip
and he proceeds with his work ac-
cordingly.
Tho moment a sheep is shorn he
is rushed through chute that
leads down under the shearing
shed floor, and thence into count
ing pens, where he is branded and
counted and sent on his way to
the rest Of the flock.
Meanwhile, some very interest
ing things have been happening
back in the main room. Tho
shearer first clips the belly wool.
The instant it falls to the floor
and that floor is as clean as a H.
brary table top-it is quickly but
carefully gathered up and thrown
into. a basket provided for belly
wool. The same process Is per
formed with the hooks. These are
inferior classes of wool and are
kept separate.
Handled by Expert.
Then comes the main fleece, and
it comes off in one piece. AS 1t
drops to the floor boy who is ex.
pert. In handling fleeces picks 1t
up in snch way that it is not
broken or greatly disturbed and
spreads it on one Of the rolling ia
bles. The instant the shearing Of
a. sheep has been completed and
tho sheep sent down under the
building, a boy sweeps up the
space in which the shearer has
worked and the latter Is ready
for another.
From the shearer the wool is
taken direct to men known as
skirters and rollers. Here the
fleeces are spread out and skirted
or, in other words, trimmed of
those portions which are not de-
sirable of retention with the en-.
tire fleece. Each portion trimmed
of, goes into a certain basket and
is kept separate. After the fleeces
have been rolled and skirted they
go to the wool classer's table.

Organization. Under his eye is
classed all the wool that goes
through the shearing station. He
is lightning quick with his judg~
ment. Not only must he class all
the main fleeces, but he also SUI
pervises the classification Of the
Inferior portions of the fleeces.
Grading and Choosing.
And right hero it might be well
to explain the distinction, as un-
derstood in Australia, between the
classing and grading of wool.
Heeces into different grades, ac-
cording to their indications Of
breed and quality, while chasing
is tho placing OF skirted fleeces
into different classes according to
their length, quality. soundness,
condition and tint.
From the classer's table the
fleeces go into different bins The
classer' s table is always clean, as
he works with tremendous rapid
ity and must make no mistakes.
The men who assist him by class
ing the poorer parts Of the fleeces
all deposit their work in baskets
from which they are later taken
to be pressed by the baler. This
is an ingenious machine that bales
the wool in a wonderfully rapid
and precise manner Then the
bales are branded and sent through
to the shipping platform outside
the shearing station. The art of
CHASING wool and supervising its
baling and pressing calls for keen
Judgment The moment the last
of one flockmaster sheep is shorn,
word is sent to the superintendent
of the shearing station and the
work begins at once Of clearing
away every vestige of the clip
just finished. When all of the
shearing operations have been
completed on a flock of sheep, the
shenring station is as clean as a
ballroom floor from one end to tho
other.
which are apt to carry burrs and
other foreign matter which adheres
to wool, are picked clean by hand.
Careful in All Things.
The method OF handling the
f1eeces so that they are not broken
is pretty nearly perfection. In the
pressing and baling, the heeces are
30 laid that they retain their form
and as each bale comes out to the
shipping department it is marked
as to quality and grade and with
the owners name.
From the shipping platform the
owner carts away his wool to a
railroad depot or makes whatever
other disposition Of it that best
suits his purpose or convenience for
tho time being. The only hands
through which his wool will pass,
however, before reaching the manu-.
facturer, ls that of the wool broker.
There is no expensive, proft-taking
middle man in the Australian sys-
tenn. The wool brokers sell on a
commission and the wool broking
esta blishments are wonderful insti-
tutions In Australia and New Zea-
land. They have perfected a sys-
tenn for the expeditions handling of
the wool that accomplishes the
work of getting the wool from the
grower to the manufacturer in
minimum period and at a minimum
expense.
The secret Of the success Of the
system lies almost wholly, Of
course. in the proper preparation Of
the wool for market, at its source.
You sec, the work of separating the
wool into its different classes has

Ready for New Work.
Now he is ready for his work in
''the states.'' as he expresses it.
And not only ready, but eager-and
Mr.. Ritch's enthusiasm over the pros
pect he sees ahead for interesting west
ern woolmen in the Australian system
cannot help but prove contagious. He
sees wonderful opportunity in Utah
and neighboring states for work that
wal live long after his personal efforts
have been completed Yesterday he
said:

Tho need of reform here is so
great and tho possibilities are by
the same token so wonderful
that ! could not resist taking up

nifty presented itself.
Please let there be no misunder-
standing regarding that. Arrange
ments have been made for me to

the entire intermountain wool
growing sections and explain to
those who care to hear all of the
details of the Australian system.
What is the system1

ments that enter into the Austria
lian methods Of shearing and mar

For Contract System.
Nearly all Of the shearing In
Australia is done by shearing con-
tractors, who clip for so much per
head. This contract system has
developed scores Of organizations
of expert sbearing crews and has
reduced the shearing to an exact
science.
The Australian flockmaster
works foz clean, high grade clip

gins to prepare for the shearing.

,TF the woolgrowers of Utah and
her sister states will accept the
Australian contract system of
shcaring and packing woodland
this system can be adopted and in
stalled In every wool-growing district IN
the intermountain section Of the west
within the next nine months, and at
small expense-the great bulk OF west
ern wool can be made TO bring "a and
28 cents pound next year, according
to the present state Of the market, in
stead OF the l6 and II cents per pound
it is now being sold for
'fMore than that, the adoption Of the
Australian system will put the wool
growing industry Of the intermountain
west fifty years in advance of the
methods which today govern the shear
ing of wool and its preparation for
market in the principal western sheep
stateep
Making these unequivocal statements
with a directness that carried convlc-
tion In every word, w. T. Ritch, the
dent ]. e. Cosgriff of the Continental
National bank OF Salt Lake City has
brought TO Utah from Australia, at his
own expense, to explain to the wool
growers of the western states the Won
derful system Australia has developed
for properly sheaTlng and marketing
its wool, delivered his first message to
the sheepmen OF the west yesterday aft
ernoon in a remarkable interview fol-
lowing his arrival from Australia.
Speaks With Authority.
1t is doubtful if there is any man
better known in the wool-growing conn
tries of the world today than Mr.
Bitch. He is considered one Of the
greatest specialists on wool-growing
and in the shearing and marketing OF
wool which the industry has produced
In the last twenty years. He Is the
man whom the Canadian government
employed N 1910 to spend two years
in Investigating and reporting on the
causes for the decline of the Canadian
wool growing and sheep-breeding indus
try, and whose work in that field drew
the attention of the entire wool indus
try of two continents.
Mr.. Ritch has arrived in Salt Lake
direct from Australia. He will spend
the next nine months in travelling
throughout the intermountain states
explaining to western wool men the de-
tails Of the marvellous contract system
of shearing and packing wool that has
put Australia q half century ahead of
every other woolgrowing country in
the world.
