LABOR CONDEMNS SALOON.

.The time has come in this country
when even men who take an occasion
al drink and feel it their right and
privilege to do SO, il they please,
are coming to agree that 1t is not
right for a man to make ii his bust
ness to cultivate the vices of com
munity, and to take from men money
that belongs to their families, giving
them in exchange liquid madness, bru-
tally, insanity and damnation."
These words were spoken by Rev.
William Il. Willard in an address at
remarkable labor meeting held In
Garrick theater, Chicago. THE labor
union. like the church." continued Mr..
Willard. SHOULD regard the open sa-
loon as its greatest enemy. The time
has come, nay is so near, that the rosy

be abolished and the barkepper out

be waylaid on payday and sent home

Tremendous applause greeted these
sentiments. The tEenter was packed
to utmost capacity with representa-
tives of union labor.

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 he 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 tleeces 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 fleeces even
In quality, density and length.
The prevailing blood in the farm

English Down mutton breeds, such as
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 1t lessons its
uniformity.
Unless the animal Is properly fed
the wool will not be strong and even
in size. If the food supply Is reduced
to II 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
woods such as prevail in most sections
where farm flocks are kept. In the
process Of combing, the fiber breaks
at the weak place and the wool has to
be put to some use Of less value. 1t is

GET RID OF HARMFUL MITES

If you are going to be q successful
poultryman, young man, you must get
utter the mites. They sap all the life
out Of the hens, and cut down the egg
supply enormously. They kill of large
numbers Of the most promising chicks.
They are the worst enemies with
which your flock has to contend.
But you can get rid Of them IL you
will. Have a thorough house cleaning
some fine day. Clean up the dirty
floor. Take out the roosts and scrape
them. and clean out the dirty nests.
II they are too badly infested, burn
them up and make some new ones.
Brush down the cobwebs from the
corners.
Then take a spray pump and spray
the whole inside Of the poultry house,
getting into all the cracks and corn
ers with a mixture of one part crude

fled to the cracks and crevices for
safety. After this is dry. put on the
whitewash. 1t Llay be put on with
the same spray pump, but 1t sticks
better and lasts longer II 1t is put ON
with a brush. Lice and mites can't
stand whitewash.
After the whitewash has thoroughly
dried, refit the house with clean roosts
and nests, and put some clean straw
on the floor. If you wish, you can
dust the hens of with lice powder be-
fore admitting them to the house. Re
peat busting again in about a week, or
better, apply the blue ointment. 1t is
a very good time to do the job. II you
will do this you will find that the lice
have departed for some other hen
house whose owner is not SO good a
poultryman as you.

GROUP OF AUSTRALIAN MERINo RAMS.

nearly every locality, is very injurious,
because it 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.
CarelcSsness 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 chuff
cannot fall out and lodge on the Shout
dcrs 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 a saving Of feed.
Usually that which Sits out and is lost
Is the most pahtable 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
not 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. 1t is necessary for him
to observe care in shearing and In
packing for market, If his product Is
to find favor with the manufacturer.
The first requisite in careful shear
ing is to provide a clean place to do
the work. A platform made Of sur
faced lumber Is best. and 1t should be
of sufficient size to insure that none OF

therefore necessary for the owner to
provide feed sufficient to keep his
flock well fed throughout the year.
II 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, IL is impossible to remove all OF
it through the process of securing. If
it is left in, the result is a fabric with
noticeable defects; if it is removed, it
is by treating with a weak solution Of
sulphuric acid and heating Ga 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
Dor of carbonizing.
Farm f1ocks as rule are small, and
in many cases they are kept to eat
down the weeds that grow in pastures,
woodlots, and truck patches. After
the corn is harvested. they are usually
given a run in the stalks. In all of
these places burrs are likely, unless
the farmer uses care in keeping them
down. The cookie burr, so common in

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 II
the operator Is careful and possesses
some skill. 1t is the tendency of the
unskilled 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. and
therefore less desirable.
The third requisite in good shearing
Is to get the fleece off the sheep with
out getting it torn apart. There is
knack in holding q sheep so it will not
kick and struggle violently; If the
shearer is fortunate enough to possess
this knack, he is in a 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 it should be
said that our most skillful shearers set
the sheep on its rump while shearing
it. 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.
