RUSSIANS GIVE SHEEP
MEDICINE TO SHEAR THEM
Mineral Salts Cause Fleece to Fall
Off by Affecting Sympathetic
Nerve System.

RIGA (NANA).-Up-to-date Rus
sia is doing away with the old-fash-
ioned method OF shearing sheep. A
new method Of removing fleece, and fur
from rabbits, has been devised by the
Soviet commissariat of light industry.
BY the new method the sheep are
given a small dose of a preparation of
heavy mineral salts. which so acts upon
the sympathetic nerve system that in a
few days the leeces are Ioosened and
may be peeled off. No fleece is left at
all upon the sleeps body. but a new
one begins to grow Immediately aad its
rate Of growth is more rapid than after
the ordinary shearing process.
The system also may be applied to the
coats Of dogs Prof. N. A. Ilyin, who
is responsible for the new method,
claims that he can make sheep moult
in two stages, first shedding the finest
parts of its fleece and then the coarser
kind, the wool being sorted automati-
cally in this way.
