q pound. before securing In the
American fleece the kind OF wool that
this manufacturer really wanted
amounted to 1913 per cent Of the
total: In the foreign fleece to 1895 per
cent A more accurate system OF
grading had given this manufacturer
~ per cent more OF what he wanted
than the American methods In CON
sequence the foreign sheep grower
got the larger price for his fleece.
The manufacturer paid for the inn
ported wool 2s cents pound and for
the domestic wool 1sM CENTS a
pound-a difference OF eh cents. BY
the time shrinkage. "off Sorts" etc,
had been deducted. however, the
cost per clean pound to the manufac.
turer of the wool he wanted was 41.32
cents for the American fleece and
44.69 cents for the imported differ
ence of only 1897 cents. It may have
cost the foreign grower a little more
to prepare his fleece, but he more
than recovered this in the higher
price he sold 1t for.
The bulletin suggests is rules for
the wool grower which. 1t is said, no
one can afford to neglect II he is at
all solicitous of the reputation of his
clip. These rules are:
1. Adhere to a settled policy OF
breeding the type of sheep suitable
to the locality.
2; Sack lambs. ewes, wethers' and
all buck, or very oily feeces sepa-
rately. II the bucks or part of the
ewes or wethers have wool Of widely
different kind from the remainder of
the Hook, shear such separately and
put the wool in separate sacks so
marked.
3. Shear all black sheep at one time.
preferably last, and put the wool In
separate sacks.
4. Remove and sack separately all
tags, and then allow no tag discount
upon the clip as a whole.
5. Have Slated floors in the hold
ing pens.
6. Use a smooth, light and hard
glazed preferably paper Irvine.
T. Securely knot the string on each
fleece.
s. Turn sacks wrong side out and
shake well before filling.
9. Keep wood dry at all times.
TO- Make the brands on the sheep
as small as possible and use a brand
ing material that will scour out
II. Know the grade and value Of
your wool and price it accordingly.
IL. Do not sweat sheep excessively
before shearing..
10. Keep the corral sweepings out
of the wool
IA. Do not sell the wool before it
is grown.
Is. When all these rules are fol
lowed place your personal brand OF
your name upon the bags or bales.

almost entirely upon vegetable food.
This consists for the most part of
weed seeds, since in the North these
birds do not appear to attack grain
to any great extent They eat few
oats, but their stomachs do not reveal
great quantity of this or any other
grain.
AS the season advances they gather
into large flocks and move southwark,
until by the end of August nearly all
have left their breeding grounds. On
their way they frequent the reedy
marshes about the mouths of rivers
and on the inland waters of the coast
region and subsist largely upon wild
rice. In the middle states, during
their southwark migration, they are
commonly known as reed birds. and
becoming very fat are treated as
game.
Formerly. when the low marshy
shores OF the Carolinas and some OF
the more southern states were de-
voted to rice culture the bobolinks
made great havoc both upon the
sprouting rice in spring and upon the
ripening grain on their return migra-
ton In the fall With a change in
the rice-raising districts, however,
this damage is no longer done.
Cooperative Marketing of Wool.
Serious losses are often suffered by
the flock master because of improper
methods of handling the clip. West
ern wool growers are paid lower
prices than foreign producers because
Of inaccurate grading. In recent
years they have made some ad-
vancement in clipping and assert
ing feeces as shown by cleaner
clips being offered for sale In
some localities. In the West some

wool by the growers. II is estimated
that improper methods Of preparing
the wool for shipment cost the flock
master from one to three cents a
pound, for the manufacturer is fire.

against which. of course. he protects
himself by lowering the price to the
grower.
To remedy this condition. some
form OF cooperation among wool
growers In any given region is urged
in a new publication Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, bulletin 206, "The
Wool Grower and the Wool Trade"
The individual alone can do little to
improve matters, for his clip is like
ly to be too small to induce the buy
ers to make any alteration in their
accustomed methods OF estimating
wool values. With cooperation. how
ever. it should be possible to prepare
the entire clip OF any section so that
the reputation of its wool would be
enhanced and the growers obtain the
full market value of their product. A
sufficient number of wool growers
should be included In each co-opera-
tive association to enable at least
1000 or 5000 pounds OF each OF the
various grades to be marketed at one
time.
Cooperation will. OF course. do lit
tie good. however. unless the individ-
ual growers follow improved methods
of handling the clip. An instance Of
the present low price OF American
wool as compared with foreign is
given In the bulletin already men
toned. Two lots OF wool OF the same
grade, one OF them from Idaho and
the other from Australia. we're pur

CABBAGE STORING is SIMPLE
CheapIy Constructed Bank or Hillside
Root Cellar Is Only Shelter
Needed-keep Place Cool.
CBy X. A. KIRKPATRICK. Minnesota
Experiment Statlon)


Experiment Statlon.)
Cabbage storing is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage is small. A
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or basement under al
most any farm building, is the only
storehouse necessary. This should not
be too dry and should be a place
which could be kept at temperature
of about 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
in the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder of the day. Later, of course,
the doors must be kept closed contin-
uously.
In storing, most growers place the
heads in a cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden
ers have better plan. They cut of
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market, but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up, leaving a gangway every
third or fourth tier for air circula-
ton.
This work is not particularly diff
cult, and will certainly pay the grow
orwell IL 1t increases the selling price
of his production eight or tenfold. For
the last few years. 1t has been market
ed and harvested at from IS to $3.50
a ton. The purchaser has stored it
and sold it during the late winter for
$50 or $50 ton.

They should be fed separately by

CIVIL SUIT AGAINST

J. w. Calbaclt. formerly a contractor

for prosecution on a criminal charge,
has also been sued in the Superior
court of san Diego county, in behalf
of laborers who hold claims to the
amount of S66S for work on the state
Highway in Imperial county. Judg-
ment is asked to be granted against
the Commonwealth Bonding and Cas-
ualty Company that was the surety to
the amount of $34,o72 on the contrac-
tors bond for that work.
It is said that besides the failure
of Calback to complete the contract

New York, Nov. 4,-The relative in
crease in strength of the Russians and
decrease in strength of the Germans
is shown by the forced retirement of
the Germans from about Dvinsk, on
the northern Russian line, for which
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
been striving for weeks. Along the
whole eastern line. in fact, the Rus
slams for several days have been man
ifesting unusual energy, to the dis

gars who are facing the invasion from
Salonik may prove to be menace
to the Bulgars and to Constantinople,
especially in connection with the Rus
sian invasion of Bulgaria at Varna. 1t
is apparent from the activity displayed
at these points that the Allies propose
to do their utmost to block the Teu-

must have jurisdiction over the per
son of the defendant and rected that
there had been no service upon Cantu,

filed in the case showed.
To sustain his argument he pro-
duced affidavits from Cantu, sworn to
