WHEN YOUR NERVES RUNAWAY
WITH YOUR GOOD DISPOSITION
Don't Pay Any attention to Them-Hs the Only Way ia
Prevent Becoming Cranky and Impossible to Please

SUPPOSE it's n rainy evening. and
~ you're getting home late from the
Office. You stop to get some French
pastry for dessert. and you come out
of the shop with that, and your news
paper and that piece Of music you bought
under your arm; your umbrella, Of
course, sticks when you try to open it.
You manage somehow to pry the stub
born rib open, and by that time the
cord has caught in another rib and you
have to pull that, out. A surge Of indig-
nation at inanimate things, rainy eve
nings. and everything you can think Of
goes over you. And you don't do any
thing to stop it.
You start up the street toward the
trolley, slipping now and then on the
wet pavement. Two girls coming along
Just behind you seem to find their stu
alton or yours terribly funny. They
giggle and giggle. just as IL they and
everybody else were perfectly happy.
They lose control OF their umbrella and
it hits YOU with bump. This is a
scrcamingly funny joke.
'Scnsclcss things!' you muttcr to
yourse II bitterly. "How can they laugh
in such a disagreeable way-don't they
know it's raining aud late?"
Two boys without umbrellas rush out
Of an Office building with double
shout. Joyously. fearlessly, they run,
ono of them sliding carelessly on the
slippery flags. You shudder. and grind
your teeth in annoyance. "Why will they
take such chances? They might have
bumped into me aud knocked me down
on this wet street ~
Your handbag slips slyly down to the
ends OF your fingers. and you reach for
it desperately. The roll of music scizes
the opportunity to slide strectward of
your hip. The newspaper spreads help
lcssly in your grip. BY this time you are
tense and YOU hate everything intensely
You feel sorry only for yourself and you
have deep contempt for everybody who is
in the least bit cheerful.
The crowd pushes you as rainy night
crowds always do.
"Oh. why do people always have to
push so!" you ask yourself through
your teeth. And then you push. just
exactly in the same way, against the
people ahead Of you. They fail to give
way and you wonder whether they are
glued there.
WHEN you finally reach your trolley
w you arc completely exhausted. You

unnecessary hardships out OF every un

MARKETING WOOL

When to Shear-As soon as the
weather becomes warm and danger Of
cold rain is passed. Some good shep-
herds say, las soon as blackberry wins
ter is over"
How to Shear-With the hand shears
or clippers. When using hand shears
be sure to clip with blades level with
the body Of the sheep This avoids
making double cuts of wool and pre-
vents ridgy appearance of sheep
when sheared. If the clippers are
used, be careful 10 have them adjust
ed so as not to cut too close. When
cut too close. the hot sun will blister
the back, and flies will annoy the sheep
before the wool makes the necessary
growth to protect its skin. Always
smooth the skin toward you with the
left hand, and let the wool roll natur-
ally from the sheep. Never pull the
Wool down with the hands.
With the average farm flock the
hand shears are preferable to the clip
pers on account of the purchase cost !;
the cost of operating, and the ease Of
keeping them in condition.
Rolling and Tying Fleeee-Each
fleece should be kept intact-roled
and tied in neat bundle. To roll a
fleece properly, spread ii out evenly
on a shearing table, clipped side down,
neck-end toward you place belly wool
on fleece and fold in sides until they
slightly overlap; begin at neck end
and roll In neat compact bundle tie
fleece around both ways with a paper
string. Do not use Irvine string.
Marketing-Market wool in standard
71S feet wool bags.
Grades-Three grades are recog-
nized on our market, viz: Clear, light
burr, and hard burr II is advisable
in some cases when there are only a
few burrs, TO pick them from the
fleece, but this should be done before
1t is clipped. When packing wool ln
bags, grade 1t roughly into the above
grades.
Tags, Dead and Black WooI-"Tags"
should be separated from fleece in
shearing, and marketed separately.
The wool from dead sheep and all
black wool should be marketed as such,
and not mixed with other wool.
