WOOL EXPERT
GIVES ADDRESS

W. t. Ritch, the Australian wool
expert, exlained to the sheep men and
farmers of this section at the Carson
Valley Improvement Hall, Minden,
Sunday afternoon the method of hand
ling wool in Australia. The meeting
was quite well attended and his ad-
dress was extremely interesting. He
said in part:
In shearing in Australia. the bellies
OF the lieeces are removed first and
do not again come in contact with the
fieeces but are baled and sold sep
arately. Convenient TO the shearing
floor, well lighted room is proyia-
ed for skirting, rolling, chasing. hal-
ing the fieeces and recording the con
tents of each bale
The work of he wool room is
|superintended by the classer who di
rects the work of the skirter. rcll-
lers and piece piekers and assigns
each fleece to its proper class or grade
each class so made is baled separ-
ately and the bale marked according
~ In the auction sales and WOOL
selling centers each lot offered com.
prises only those bales bearins the
same mark from single clip.
Skirting consists of removing the
coarser, dirtier and inferior wool from
the lower parts. The amount of wool
going into the skirtings is determined
for each lot by the elasser, and may
vary between different clips or be-
tween different lots of sheep belong
ing to the same station The classer
Is necessarily man of experience and
knows the needs of the wool buyers.
He is usually left to prepare the clip
as he thinks necessary to insure the
maximum returns without suggestion
or influence by his employer.
After the skirtings have been re-
moved the body of the fleece is neat
~ rolled, flesh side out in such a way
that when it is later removed from
the bale and placed before the sorter
at the mill it is readily spread out in
its original shape After rolling, eao h
fleece is passed to the table where the
eiasser does his particular work. Be-
hind this classer. are a number of bins

ing theb aler mark each bale accord

classer to the particular grade.
"A primary object all through the
classer's work is to group together
feeces having a similar percentage
OF clean wool, and after that to secure
as much as possible of uniformity in
respect to spinning quality and char
acter. The percentage of clean wool
is them ost important factor in de-
termining price and allowing accurate
valuation. the buyer first of all wish
ing to be assured that the or one hun
dred bales of certain lot in one clip
will be the same as the sample bales
selected at random from the lot for
examination. Uniformity of the lots
in regard to fineness and other quail
tiles are ais necessary, but cannot be
considered before the securing of uni
formity in respect to the percentage
of the clean wool"

Fewer Limbs Being
Amputated At Front
CRy Associated Press.l

IR BERLIN, March 27.-Surgery upon
the battlefield, according to a we'll
known physician. DIR. Ziegelroth. is
becoming more and more a matter of
back to nature" The doctors, mill
tary and civil, who are tending the
wounded in the west. are discovering,
not without some surprise. how potent
factor nature is in healing wounds.
Amputations are resorted to only
in cases of utmost necessity. and
surgeons are acting with the greatest
conservatism where previously limbs
were severed quickly when certain
symptoms apparel. The conservatism
appears to be rewarded by recoveries
that ordinarily would have been con-
ssidered impossible. Ordinary wounds
are dressed with antisceptic band
ages, and then are not rebound any
more than necessary. The healing is
being left to efficient nature.
The civil practitioners in the west
shrn field. according to DR.. ziegelroth,
hre engaged in friendly, but spirited
contest, with the military physicians,
and are giving extraordinary service.
Men who in ordinary life have a
golden practice" are enduring all the
hardshfps of the field without q mur-
mur, and spontaneously contest for
bundles OF straw upon which to sleep
in barns and stables. The snoring
OF fellow physicians seems to bother
them more than the artillery fire.

Clarksburg's Request

CLARKSBURG, W. Va. March 27.-
In a series of conferences held here
with manufacturers of the Clarks-
burg district Baltimore & Ohio rail
road executives refused the request
of the manufacturers for a reduction
of all westbount fifth-class freight TO
the Pittsburgh rate basis. The rail-
roads recently made a reduction of .
cents a hundred pounds on window
glass west-bound from the Clarksburg
district, but it was in consequence Of
an order of the interstate commerce
commission. This reduction placed
the rate on the Pittsburgh basis and
manufacturers of glass products other
than windoy glass. together with the
manufacturers of other like articles,
sought to have the same reduction ap-
piled to their products.
H. r. Lewis of Baltimore. general
freight agent, headed the representa-
tives of the railroad that attended the
conference. Traffic managers of COM
panies operating plants both in
Clarksburg and other places also came
here for the meeting. II is under
stood the manufacturers will take
further action in the matter.

Teutonic Allies Make Des-
perate Effort To Hold
Back Cars Men.
ENGLAND MAY BAR DRINK
ITALY AND BALKAN NATIONS
May SOON ENTER THE WAR
WITH ALLIES.
CBy Associated Pressl

s LONDON, March 27.-Russia today
for the third time holds the gates OF
Hungary, and British observers are
virtually united in the expectation
that the Teutonic allies will make a
supreme effort to prevent the forces
of Emperor Nicholas from again pour
ing on the Hungarian plains.
Meager reports from Vienna indi-
cate that there is some depression
in Austria on account of the fall OF
Przemysl, but on the other hand the
Papacy denies that this has resulted
in overtures from Emperor Francis
Joseph in an endeavor to obtain the
Intervention of the Pope on behalf
of separate peace.
The fall of the Austria stronghold
in Galicia also has had the effect OF
increasing possibilities of sudden de.
yeIopments in the near eastern situa.
hon, but so far Italy and the Balkan
states are still stubbornly sitting on
the fence" which position they are
liable to maintain, in the opinion Of
a notable section of the British press
until such time as the fighting in ~
Dardanelles has produced definite re-
suits
The only advance of the allies along
the western front, consists of the cap
ture by Belgian forces, of a farm to
the north OF St. George, which prob
ably completes the capture of a posi-.
ton occupied in part at Christmas
time.
In. England the labor unrest again
has manifested itself. In this con.
nection the belief is growing. that the
government will soon take some meas
ures to restrict drinking, but is not
likely to enforce so drastic prohibit
tion as made effective in Russia and
France.
In Holland there is a growing sense
of injury over the unfortunate situa-
tion of Dutch shipping. which a lead
ing Netherlands paper describes as
suffering from competition of lille.
galfty in marine warfare.
