Sheep and Wool.


This is the very best time of
year to outline a system of hand
fling sheep flocks so as to prevent
heavy infestation by internal
PARASITES. AS much rotating of
pasture as possible is to be re-
comme1ded; wider range is pre-
ferable to small lots for long per-
iods; by all means prevent the
flock from coming habitually in
to worm infested barn lots and
the yards around deserted houses
where tue grass soon becomes
heavily infested with worms.
Department Circular Al and
Louisiana Extension Circular 81
on stomach worm control may be
secured from this office.
When introducing rams from
Northern states, the animals
should be bought early; winter
land early spring purchases have
aone best. Bringing Northern
Jams to our climate and grass in
midsummer is attended with con-
Siderable hazard under average
conditions, and results have some
lines been disappointing. When
ever sheep are brought from a
distance to Louisiana, buyers
should give special feed and care
till the animals have become &C.
| customed to the new surroundings
and conditions.
The wool market is not yet act.
i've. Medium woods must be put
up in the best possible condition
this year. Local and nearby
wool houses have expressed their
intention of buying wool. Half a
dozen buyers have have express
ed an inteution of covering this
territory and personally visiting
communities offering 5000 pounds
OF wool or more. Experience in
this state indicates that pooling
of the wool is advisable, and the
best method of disposal is spot
cash on day of sale.
This Office recommends that
owners of native sheep hold such
stock in higher regard than is GUS
tomary. These sheep are adapt
ed to our conditions and are hard.
Ter than any sheep we can import.
Their evident Merino derivation
and long period of acclimation in
the South give these sheep dis
tinct advantage over all others !;
by retaining only the best from
year to year this type of sheep
may be much improved. The in
difference that farmers have
shown to breeding up the native
ram to be found is altogether pre-
ferable to pure bred scrubs often
seen.

Give Sightless
Equal Chance

The members Of this first group were
paid during their apprenticeship IS
cents an hour, and. after four weeks
instruction, yer given places In the
shops. Later the hourly rate Of pay
for trained workers was changed to a
piecework plan and this proved more
interesting and stimulating to the
worker. At the factory 1t was said
that a skilled blind worker earned
from So to 81 a day at piecework.
More startling than the work in the
coil-winding rooms is the handling of
various kinds Of machinery by the
sightless. At the notching machines
they put in metal plates and stamp
them with the desired notches. Blind
men also stack these plates, or punch
ings." and weigh them.
Sightless typists and stenographers
also r employed by the company. In
the jobroom a special system Of indi-
vidual records keeps track of more
than 1000 jobs in process. Here a
blind stenographer handles the phone
calls coming in at spaced plugs down
the length of the room, using a SIM
pie chair and typewriter stand on
rollers, in which she travels up and
down the line.
A Blind Secretary.
Miss Jessie Lewis, secretary to Mrs.
Ida HI. Clifford, director Of the Double
Duty Finger Guild, handles the steno-
graphic work and filing in the guilds
office. She is a graduate Of the Per-
kins Institute for the Blind. Miss
Lewis is the creator of the American
Braille shorthand system. All her
cards and records are marked in
Braille, and she turns to a desired pa
per with the ease and promptness of
a skilled sighted worker.
Most of the successful blind appli-
cants for positions in the factory
come from independent sources rather
than institutions. The age limit is
supposed to be forty-fve, although
older men from the state of New Jer-
sey have been accepted. Two persons
must guarantee one months board and
return ~carfare, In cas- the applicant
does not make good"
The worker stands absolutely on his
own merit and DON learns to take
pride in bringing his work up to the
standard required by the factory In
spectors.
Marked independence is shown by
the sightless employees In handling
their work and in moving about the
factory and grounds. The effect upon
them Of being self-supporting and en-
gagged in work which is the same as
that done by normal persons and
which must pass the same tests Of in.
spection, works wonders In keeping
them up to a healthy standard of
good spirits and courage.

New York.-So many Of the war
blinded have found work In the cleo
trical manufacturing plant a means Of
supporting themselves, rendering them
Independent Of any charity or philan-
thropic assistance, that special atten-
ton is being directed to the work Of
DR.. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, who
made possible this new field Of gain
full occupation for the sightless.
There is nothing new in the en-
deavor to enable the blind to work or
even In the effort made to find a ready
market for their product, but in the
Crocker-Wheeler %company's factory
the ~unseeing work on an exact par
with the seeing, their goods" there
fore, being placed in the open market.
Doctor Wheeler's interest in the
problem of the blind, starting some
years ago, became intensified when the
war brought their numbers, both here
and abroad, to a highly increased
total. In going through the various
departments Of the company's electric
al manufacturing plant at Ampere, N.
j., Of which he is president, he noted
the fact that girls skilled In winding
wire coils performed their work with
out watching the movements Of their
hands, as a touch typist or a piano
player ignores her fingers. The coil
winding girls chatted and laughed
among themselves as they worked, and
their work was satisfactory. Doctor
Wheeler then blindfolded himself and
| attempted to wind a coil. He proved
to his own satisfaction that here was
work which, with little practice, the
sightless could do on a par with o
NAL workers.
Proves a Success.
The Double Duty Finger Guild was
the direct result. That is the name
given to the department, employing
only men and women without sight.
This department has been In success
full operation for three years In the
Croker Wheeler factory, and 1t has
ceased to be considered an experiment
or even an innovation.
At first special instructors were en-
gagged and a small group of blind were
set to work at winding the wire coils.
