The Official In Charge lias Trouble with a
Kew-Fangled Clipper and Sours on
the Job Particulars of the
Process.
Everr year the sixty odd sheep in
Central park are shorn of their heavy
winter coats, and the wool is sold l3'
auction to the highest bidder. The
shearing this year was rather more in
teresting' than in former years, says the
New York Tribune. It is great tun to
watch the perspiring shearers strug
gling with the frantic sheep, some of
which kick like young steers, and make
things lively for those handling them.
Some bright man suggested totne parK
commission that time could be saved,
more wool taken off, and less profanity
would be provoked if the sheep were
sheared by machinery, instead of by
hand. Accordingly, a machine, which
is of a nattern in treneral use among
farmers, was shipped to the sheepfold
at Sixty-sixth street. The shepherd
unpacked it and gleefully expatiate4
upon the trouble and time which would
be saved by its use. In appearance it
resembles a tricycle, with the unfor
tunate sheep as a passenger, while the
pedals, worked by the operator, actuate
the clipping apparatus. The clipper is
worked by a flexible shaft, and looks
like an ordinary horse clipper. One
man can shear a sheep by hand, but
three men are required to do so by ma
chine. The sheep is held in the frame
bv one man, the pedal is worked by an
other, while the clipping is done by a
third.
When all was ready a strurrling ewe
was brought and firmly held in the
wooden frame, while the shepherd,
with a determined eye, sU-rl-d the fly
wheel humming by a vigorous applica
tion of the pedal. The sheuivr grasped
,he clipper and applied it to the breast
f the unfortunate sheep. "Now you'll
ice the wool fly," said the shepherd,
vith a wink. What wool did fly was
tot off the sheep, but oil1 the trousers
f the man holding the animal. Her
harp hoofs made his clothes look much
he worse for wear in about three sec
nds. Meanwhile the machine had
:ome to a standstill, despite the fran
,ic efforts of the shepherd.
"Why don't you pedal, man?" roared
the shearer.
The shepherd said nothing, but, wip
ing the drops from his brow, went to
work and soon had the wheel humming
again. As soon as the clipper touched
the fleece there was a slight scurry of
wool and then the machine came to a
dead stop. The shepherd refused to
pedal any more, and another man
tried it, but Boon gave it up. After
some caustic remarks it was determined
to go back to the old way and shear
the Bheep by hand.
The machine when worked by mnn
power operates very well on country

less considerable skill is exercised, this

It Is, After All, the Only Sure Way to Suc
cess for Tanners.
Steady farming, with a pood rotation
of crops persistently followed, is the
surest way to success for farmers. Ab
rupt changes in order to meet hiph
prices for some farm product are dan
gerous practices. It is within tlie re
membrance of every farmer when hay
was so low that it hardly paid to raise
it for market, but since then fanners
have been making more profit off hay
than almost any other crop. To suit
the chaiure, a preat many dropped hay
from 1 heir list of farm crops and tried
to pet alonrj without it. The steady
farmers continued to (rive grass a place
in their crop rotation, turninp it un
der when it would not pay to cut aud
sell it as hay, and when prices went
up apaiu for hay they were the only
ones who had poo.l crops to sell. 15 j
sides enrichinij thiiir soil with the
prass, they found themselves prepared nnp rnll nl-
to reap a pood harvest when prices I1UL UWll Ulls,, Lclll ell
came around apaiu to their normal con
dition. Just now sheep have been at a dis
count, and thousands have been sellinp
them off to raise something else more
profitable. Hut sheep, b ith for wool
and mutton, will be profitable in the
future. Several times in the past the
sheep industry has been at its lowest
ebb, but It revived in time. Steam aud
electricity are said to he drivinp horses
out of the market, and that it will no
lonper pay to raise Hue eolts. There
never was a time, and probably never
will be, when it did not pay to raise
y-ood horses. L'mlcrbred stock is too
plentiful, and will be at a. greater dis
count in the future than now; but fine
driving road horses or heavy I'.ransjht
horses will never loe their value p. r
nrineiitiy. It is within the rem-un-brauee
of the writer when many farm
ers n.iid S and gtl per head for ordinary
sheep because a boom in that line was
bendiii everylhin;' upward.
There are too many farmer engaged
in t'nis industry who wait for hiifh
prices, and then they rush into that
particular line of work. If sheep are
liipii they pay exorbitant prices for
stock in order to raise others to II.
If corn is tho loadinp farm pro.la.'t,
that pays well, they turn their farms
int. i enormous corn fields, unmindful
of the fact often that they do not ioi-iler'-t
in.l its culture imr the ex;vnes
attached to it. Frequently they have
t i mike hi initial outlay to adapt
themselves, to the abrupt chanre.
