Sheep Notes 
SiiEARTXG TKOi-i{i-K.s.--Tliere is iiwch 
to encotirage in tln‘ slK'op tind wool out¬ 
look. but luiiu is so constituted that he 
can iilways find soiuothiiig to tiuiioy. The 
old-time shetirers are fcettiug: too sore to 
h'itii over and liold :t slud'j) to slicar it, 
and tiie few wlio luive ttikeu tlieir places 
hiive le.ss skii! ; in fttet .some of them 
have none. Our sheej) httve been turned 
otit liMtkiug like the htuid the writer car¬ 
ried to th(‘ New York 24th 8tn‘et .school, 
in tli(‘ ’()0s. when his father cut hi.s hair, 
Tiiey hav(‘ ridges :iud hummocks and look 
tiitty all (tveib and besides tluit tin* bung¬ 
lers clmrffotl .$;) :i day fop the mutnatiou. 
Herein is a point fur maunfaclurers of 
who were organized. Inive kept it at the 
\\:i)rth of ;i sons. The price now is 50 
per cent, tihove last year, tind the buyer 
of a suit of cluthes yvill hoar about it 
from the seller xvlien In* charses ,$10 extra 
for it, but he mn.st not blame the wool 
grower or think he gets that. The coun¬ 
try folks v.'ho have nut grown wool, and 
all the city people, have bhiined the wool 
men too often. All the “soaking’’ they 
got in the clothing stort's or from the 
tailors tvas blamed on them, and noyv we 
Wiint that corrected. Never think that a 
rise of .50 ]>er cent, on raw wool war- 
r.-ints that on cloth, or clothes. That rise 
on a ,$20 suit makes it $.‘10. on a .$.‘>5 
suit niiikes it .$45, but on enough of our 
Going After the Last Wrung Drop 
IKDVt'r shetiring machines. We must 
fort‘go hiind shears, and it will be the 
duty of mtikers of clippers to get us yvliat 
we iH'ed. AVe yvant a ga.soline m.''.chine 
for next year, with two shafts, that will 
do good work, on tine sheep. Also, we 
want men who have had experience with 
things of this kind to come into tliese 
ctdninns and tell us about it. 
Wood Pbospects. —AYe have ttiken the 
Winter clothes off 251, tind it is a joy to 
see how good they feel these warm dtiys. 
They jump about like crickets, but must 
b*“ inside the cool nights. Thtit is easy, 
because they will come home for some 
grain niid hay until the pasture is 
stronger. Wether himbs tire kept in to 
jint on pounds, and it seems inhnmiin to 
send them off for slaughter in :i few 
yveeks. It is :i btid thought in connt'C- 
tioii with farm animals that when they 
have been cared for from birth, fed. 
Wittered, and iKffted, and when they did 
their duty groyving for us. and become so 
tame they stick tiroimd in the yvay, just 
yvheu they are fullest and nicest, they are 
put out of existence. No man can care 
for animals right without moral jirofit. 
AVe have something over a ton of nice, 
long, fine wool. The jiile is a beauty. 
Alan is a religious cretiture and must wor- 
shijT something, even if it is dogs, so the 
shepherd nitiy be excused for a little idol- 
titvy for iiece.s.s^ipy material, of his own 
growing, to dotin' Iniman forms. 
Cost or Wooi.e.ns. —The price of wool 
looks enticing, ’riie world's supply has 
tinnnally been getting snniller, and the 
fiict is ein])liii.siy.('(l just now. The jirice 
shiinld always have been as good as it is 
noyv. but the manimihitions of Inivers, 
wool to nnike as good a suit as evei wtis 
worn it means just (>0 cents to us. At 
the price of wool now, you can buy rtiw 
wool enough for less thiin $2..50 to make 
suits siK.'h as I Imve .set'll st'll tit .$(‘>0 to 
.$7.5, .so it will etisily ht' seen tlnit the 
sheep niiin is innocent. AA’heu there was 
:i tariff of 11 cents on our kind of yvool 
(yve never got it) that yvould have been 
55 cents for us. but it cost the buyer se- 
riou.sly, and it nntde millions hate the 
sheep men. Thoughts like these arc good 
to bear in mind. Also, you yvill Inive a 
hard time getting clothes made from fine 
Deliiine wool. AA’hat you may get is 
shoddy. If buyers of yvoolens had as 
good friends in the stores tind shops as 
they hiive about sheep barns they yvould 
be all right. 
SoT'KCES OF ^’ooL.—Of course, a large 
pa'rt of home-groyvu yvool is clipped, hut 
quite a quantity comes from the pelts of 
slaughtered sheep. There is iiothing 
yy-iisted by the ptickcrs, and even the short 
stubble from the jielts of clipped sheep 
is Sitved. All lengths find their yvay into 
something. In normal times yve need 
about three-quiirters of a billion pounds 
yearly, but gi’oyv only a little more tlutii 
it third of it, and pay rent, labor, freight 
and handling to total strangers. Ameri- 
cjuis have shipped yvheat, costing about all 
they got for it. They have toilerl and 
drudged at many things yvheii they could 
hay'e made money groyving mutton tind 
their clothing. They have mined their 
plant food out of the ground, and had it 
yy’ash and gully yvhen they might have 
been enriching it. They have fought the 
shipping companies, inspectors and milk 
comiianies, yvorked early and late, seven
