slarge, is quite different business
than taking the fleeces from flock Of
| 20 to SO here in Wisconsin. 1t some
times happens that flock of $4,000
is to be clipped, and to such job
George and his associates betake them
selves with enthusiasm. A flock of a
few hundred is accounted small fry
The shearers work in teams, the men
constituting the team coming from all
parts Of the country. Mr. House trav-
els with a team Of 10, and they meet
in Wyoming each spring, working to-
gether until the season is finished.
Then they go to their various homes,
not to see nor hear from each other
until the next seasons activities call
them into the west.
For the shearing I. special barn or
shed is provided; on large ranches the
owner has his own shearing shed;
smaller ranchers combine in provid-
ing community she'd Power is pro-
vided by a gas engine and line
shaft is hung to carry power for each
set Of clippers. For sheep are not
sheared in the west by the old system
of hand clippers. A practiced shearer
can handle as many as $50 sheep in a
day, but that is a heavy days work,
even for one who is in condition.
For these professional shearers must
be in condition, as the work is heavy
and trying. George says that the hand
ling of sheep, SO as to get as little
resistance as possible from it is a
matter of practice. Many sheep, if
properly handled, give little or no re-
sistance to the> shearer, and therein
lies much Of the knack fthe profes
sional workman.
| For the past three campaigns, George
, House has been accompanied by his
cousin, Harry House, who lives during
| the summer season on the Marshall
farm, where he is employed. He has
, been admitted to the profession and
can handle refractory nanny as well
as those who have had longer exper-
fence.

, II cents per head, and that makes
coed pay for one who knows how. A
! few years ago, when wool brought a
| better price and flocks were larger,
Mr.. House confesses that he made
! good pay from his experiences, Now,
with wool products higher and raw
wool lower in price he says it is a
matter of longer campaigns to get
back home at Newport with a good
roll to show for his outing. Anyway,
he says he will keep himself fit for
next seasons work and take shot at
1.-THE compensation, for he likes the
work, as well as the association. He
declares the sheep ranchers are fine

them for time. For the summer,

| two brothers, Glen and Owen, have ex-
cellent crops. One Of the best fields
