the wool will be crowded off by nerv.
Gus, unruly sheep. For the amateur
this platform will be none too large
if ten feet square.
The second requisite is to cut the
wool off smoothly close to the body.
The power machine will cut closer
than the hand shears. but satisfactory
work may be done with the latter If
the operator is careful and possesses
some skill. 1t is the tendency of the
unskllled shearer, whether using the
machine or hand shears, to fail to cut
close to the sleeps body. For exam
pie, the shearer may start to cut close
to the body, but in advancing the
shears he cannot follow the shape of
the animal, and hence some of the
wool is cut from a half to an inch
away from the skin. He can, and usu-
ally does, back up and cut close where
he failed in his first attempt. This
makes what is known as second cuts.
Because they are so short they are of
low value for manufacturing pur.
poses. 1t is also obvious that the
evil of making second cuts makes the
fibers in the main body of the fleece
shorter and uneven in length, an6
therefore less desirable.
The third requisite in good shearing
is to get the fleece off the sheep with.
out getting 1t torn apart. There is a
knack in holding a sheep so it will not
kick and struggle violently; If the
shearer is fortunate enough to possess
this knack, he is in fair way
to have the fleece intact when the op-
GRAFTON of shearing is finished. 1t is
not our purpose here to describe shear
ing in detail, but perhaps 1t should be
said that our most skillful shearers set
the sheep on its rump while shearing
1t. Its body Is tilted back toward the
knees of the operator so that Its hind
legs cannot get sufficient contact with
the floor to make effective resistance.
1t is the adjustment of this position
that amounts to the knack In holding.

therefore necessary for the owner to
provide feed sufficient to keep his
flock well fed throughout the year.
If the animal is in poor health, the
effect on the growth of the wool is
similar to insufficient feed. Sheep
often shed or slip their wool as a re-
suit of feverish condition. Any Sc
we're illness extending over sufficient
time to reduce the animal in flesh Will
almost invariably cause weak place
In the wool. In the production of
good strong wool the health of the ami
NAL is Just as essential as proper feed
ing.
While lack of uniformity in breed
ing, improper feeding, and disease
each contribute to the criticism made
against the woods produced in farm
fiocks, by far the greatest amount of
fault Is found because of the foreign
substances they contain. Some of
these substances get into the wool
while it is on the sheep, while others
gain entrance through faulty methods
of shearing and packing. If there is
a great deal of foreign material in
WOOL it is impossible TO remove all of
1t through the process of securing. If
1t is left in, the result is fabric with
noticeable defects; If it is removed, it
is by treating with weak solution of
sulphuric acid and heating "a process
known as carbonizing), which may
weaken the wool fibers. This not only
lowers the value of the wool for man
ufacturing purposes, but also adds to
its cost to the manufacturer because
he has to spend upon it the extra la
tor of carbonizing.
Farm flocks as rule are small, and
In many cases they are kept to eat
down the weeds that grow Ia pastures,
woodlots, and truck patches. After
the corn is harvested, they are usually
given run in the stalks. In all of
these places burrs are likely. unless
the farmer uses care in keeping them
1owp- The cookie burr, so common in
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-08-18

nearly every locality, is very Injurious
because 1t becomes so completely en-
tangled in the wool that in its remov.
al fabrics are broken and small woody
particles from the burr are left In the
fleece.
Carelessness in feeding causes a
great deal of foreign material to be
deposited in wool. Racks for rough
ages such as hay, fodder and straw,
should be constructed so that the chatf
cannot fall out and lodge on the shoul-
ders and necks of the sheep. Barns
and lots should be arranged so that it
is unnecessary to pass among the
sheep in carrying loose straw to the
racks. 1t is well to remember that
the equipment necessary to keep chaff
and litter out of the wool, as suggested
above, also results in saving of feed.
Usually that which sifts out and is lost
is the most palatable and nutritious
part of the feed; hence there is good
reason for keeping it out of the fleece
aside from the damage it does to the
wool.
OIL paint and tar marks are very
Objectionable in wool, but their use is
r~t common in farm flocks. They are
Objectionable because they cannot be
removed in securing. The manufac-
turer is obliged to employ labor to cut
them out before the wool is secured.
This reduces the length of the wool
to such extent that its value is i'm
paired.
Up to this point we have considered
what the grower can do toward pro-
ducing wool of desirable quality and
condition. Granting that he succeeds
in doing this, it is necessary for him
to observe care in shearing and in
packing for market, if his product is

(By w. G. COFFEY.)
To sell at good price, an offering
of wool should be uniformly good,
which means that it should be even in
structure, length and strength of fiber.
and that it should be as nearly free as
possible from foreign matter, such as
dirt, chaff, or litter, burrs and tar or
paint marks.
If the wool is to be fairly uniform
in structure and length. the individ-
uals in the flock must be similar in
breeding. By using purebred rams of
the same breed for series of years,
any flock can be graded up so that
the type of wool will be sufficiently uni
form in the particulars mentioned to
satisfy the demands of the market
provided proper attention is paid to
the fleeces of the rams purchased and
of the ewes reserved for breeding. The
ewes should be alike in fleece charac-
teristics. In addition to other very
necessary requirements aside from
wool, they should carry fieeces even
in quality, density and length.
The prevailing blood in the farm
fiocks of the Middle West is of the
iSiSlINh l'ONll ilullOu DTttuS, SUCH dS
Shropshire, Oxford and Hampshire.
Any of these, under favorable condi-
tions, produces wool which will meet
with ready demand. So far as the wool
product is concerned, the use of rams
of different breeds is not only unneces-
sary but undesirable, as it lessons its
uniformity.
Uniess the animal is properly fed
the wool will not be strong and even
in size. If the food supply is reduced
to point below the normal demands
of the animals body, the wool fiber is
reduced in diameter and weak place
is the result. This greatly reduces the
commercial value of the combing

where farm flocks are kept In the

at the weak place and the wool has to

This was put in to stop the sort of

strike, when they arrested and beat
strikers and refused to show their
stars or to give their names to those
who asked for the information.
Taylor said the cops on duty in

fact that a strike is on and it's bad
for business.
Private policemen and sluggers
can be hired, if Taylor has his way.
He said the ordinance prohibiting
the employment of special police
would hurt employers because the
ordinary police are not able to han
die strikes and employers must be
permitted by law to hire all the 'tspe-
cial police" they want.
There are no neutral policemen,
said Taylor. He explained there is
eternal conflict between policemen
and strikers and all policemen during
labor troubles are prejudiced against
strikers.
