Defect! of Wool.
Very many ahoooraiscrs and woolgrowcrs
know nothing about the defects of wool or
how to detect then, ft is even supposed -bjo
many that the dealer arrives at very many of
his conclusions by guessing. Bat he docs not.
Ho knows jnst what the quality of wool is
when ho sees it and feels it. It would led
to better and moro satisfactory results to tlio
woolgrower if he knew more of thii matter,
for ho wonld then avoid some of tho mistakes
ho makes, nnd some of the carelessnci of
which ho may be guilty, and which affect the
fleece of his flock in such a manner as to
greatly dcpreciato its value. In speaking of
the defects of wool, it mint be recollected
tliat what wc call defect aro often condition
al, or comparative, dciwnding upon tho nature
of the object for which the wool is intended
to W used. Wool that msy be too flat, and
kw w. tun. null.-, iu ipre 10 CiOHl WOOI IUO
quality of felting lu a sufficient degree, makes
combing wools. Here is a defect if tho wool
is wanted for tho former purpose, but it is
no defect if combing wools are required.
Thready wool is a more seriously defective
wool. It is not easily separated into hairs,
and is consequently diflicult o spin. Comb
ing wools arc nover too long, but they may
be too short. It is very seldom that cloth
wooLs aro too short. Among the defects of
the fiber are Lack of strength, laxltv, brittle
ness, hardness, roughness, lack of soitness and
flexibility, uucnusl fineness, etc. All these
nro readily detected by tho dealer, nnd vv bile
so many defects aro possible, it is no wonder
that wool Is so often condemned as imperfect,
when we remember how careless some aro
with their flocks.
Tho defects in the tips nre among the
prominent defects in wool. Sometimes tho
tips arc too coarso and hard, aro spearlike, or
reedlike, etc. These aro very readily detect
ed by any one of exjierience. A very com
mon defect of the flecco is want of uniformity
iu tho sire of tho fiber. Tho defects of the
liber arc usually tho result of bad treatment,
or disease. Insufficient feeling or disease
raucss a thinness and w i-akncss in some tart of
tho fiber, either at one end or the other, or in
tho middle. Sometimes this extends nil over
tho fleece, and tho wool is then said to have n
set orl'. There Is often a lack of what is called
the yelk, and in that caso the wool will lie
dry, nnd when there is too much It causes the
exterior and sometimes the interior of tho
staple to ailhcro very tightly, making it very
difficult to open it ' s '
Very much depends, as we have already
said, upm the care given to tho sheep. It
a sheep is fed well and otherwise well takpn
core ot for a month, nnd then neglected for
another month, and so on, tho flecco will tell
all nliotlt it. and it Li useless to bone to tiro.
ducc perfect wool under any such circum
stances. Barring unavoidable disease, it is
perhapi a good rule to Lay down, that, if the
sheep is properly fed and properly cared for
in other respects, the wool will be without
serious defects. The rule, like other rules,
may hava its oxccptioui, but it will hold good
as often ai almost anv other. Western

On faturday quite n numlter of our sheep
men wero present, when Mr. Kelley, a geutle
man recently from California, addressed tlio
meeting and said, in tho coutvo of his
remarks, an follows! From the day that
aheep were first introduced into Australia
to tho presont time tho intelligence of th
country has been directed to tho suppression
and prevention of scab. Tho nlno States of
that continent striving with ono another to
pay tho htghntt premium to any one who
would check tills dire disease. Almost all
remedies have been tried ami m you know
tho scab will return periodically! no medicine
can etfect jiermanent cure so long as tho old
corrals aro left standing. When sheep go to
tho mountains all movable yards should lie
washed in lime water and no sheep should be
oorraled ou the same ground in lens than
ninety days from the time the sheen hail
been taken from there. The manure should
be taken jvway nnd not left to give sheep the
foot-rot,' and tho manure wdl pay for this
because it is as g.Md to enrich land as guauo.
One tiling is absolutely essential to prevrnt
scab nnd that is that the corrals iu which
sheep are lent, even during night, should lw
often moved on to new ground and it would
bo bettor to move them ever' da, and for
this tmrpoo I would suggest that instead of
building our citrrals with lumber as von
now do with twelve-font panel, that ou
