After shearing, the next Important step in the marketing of wool is the tying of the fleece. Several things must be done to make this Job a good one. First, all tag locks must be re­ moved whether they be of dung or grease and dirt. Second, the fleece should be carefuliy rolled up by hand (not with a wool box), with no ends of stray locks protruding, and with the flesh side out. Third, the fleece should be tied with a hard, glazed twine, not larger than one-eighth inch in diameter. In tying the ends of the twine especial care should be taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not slip. The first thing mentioned with re­ spect to tying involves packing noth­ ing but merchantable wool in fleeces. Weighty materials, such as bricks, stones and sheep heads, should not be rolled up in fleeces, and fortunately such instances are relatively few. But tag locks are so common that their presence in fleeces from farm flocks is the rule rather than the exception. The total effect of such a practice Is bad. It puts our wools in bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long continued, it has led to the only logical result, namely, discrimination in price against our wools. The use of the wrong kinds of tying twine has caused the manufacturer more trouble than any other one the paper wool twines. Some of the latter, however, are stiff, and there­ fore difficult to tie in a firm hard knot that will not Blip and release the wool.. In selecting from them care should be taken to secure a kind that is soft and pliable. Kill the House Fly. The house fly is a pest dangerous to health, and the cause of many deaths, especially of children, in sum­ mer time. To diminish the danger, keep the premises clean and kill the flies; and to avoid it entirely, induce neighbors and town authorities to do the same. CLEAN UP, KEEP CLEAN, AND KILL THE FLY, is the admonition of science to the house­ holder, the community, and the city or town. Philadelphia.--Attacked by a myste­ rious creature, variously described as a "monstrous amphibious animal" and a "furious freak fish," Daniel Miller, a shad fisherman, was rescued from harm by his companion, Harry Taylor, in the Delaware river off Gloucester, N. J. For five minutes after the creature had been hauled into tbelr boat it gave battle. Until Miller became ex­ hausted he fought the attacks with his fists. Taylor, who was operating the boat, was afraid to leave his position while the battle waged, for fear the boat would capsize. Miller, who is one of the oldest fish­ ermen In Gloucester, accompanied by Taylor, set out with nets for shad early this morning. Shortly before noon, when they were preparing to re­ turn home with their supply of fish, they pulled in the net. As they brought it to the surfaoe the weight became noticeably heavy. There was a constant jerking at the ropes. At last they were unable to pull the net any higher and lashed It to the side of the boata. When Miller opened the net the creature sprang from the water at him. The force sent Miller sprawling into the middle of the boat. The creature, which had two rows of long teeth, snapped at him viciously. When the fishermen finally landed their "catch" on land, hundreds of per­ sons flocked to see the creature. It was takeh to Miller's boathouse. Fish­ ermen who have seen and caught many kinds of fish shook their heads Robber Makis Bartender Give Half-Dollar at Time and Then "Sets 'em Up." ^ Chicago.--Henry Johns, a bartend®* at 634 South State street, is ©f th# i charitable sort, so he readily complied j when a burly individual entered his place of business the other night and j demanded a drink. j.

In addition to Eervlng as a great source of wood supply, the forest ex­ erts certain well known beneficial in­ fluences to human interests. These are influences: (1) Upon the climatlo conditions within the forest area; (2) upon the distribution and char­ acter of the water flow; (3) upon the mechanical condition and erosion of the soil under its cover, and (4) upon the sanitary and esthetic conditions of the people. Ultimate End of Swine. The ultimate end of all swine is the butcher's block and the animal that gets there with the greatest profit to the man that feeds him is the kind that will win In the long run. It is difficult to get young growing sows too fat for breeding purposes provided that the flesh is put on with the right kind of food and they can run around and take plenty of ex­ ercise. The Compost Heap. Every garden should have its com- post heap, where rotted sods, waste vegetables from the kitchen, fallen leaves, lawn trimmings and all variety of vegetable matter, mixed with BOII. is piled to decay. Turn it over occa­ sionally. If'it smokes or steams, turn it,over at once and wet it. Slow decay is what Is wanted, not hot fermenta­ tion. Wrong and Right Way. A--Ninety feet of Jute twine weighing one-half pound, the amount taken from one farm fleece by a prominent wool house. B--7% fet of paper twine, all that U necessary to tie the fleece. thing with the wools marketed from the farms of the central and eastern United States. A hard, glazed twine should be used in order to avoid get­ ting any of its fiber mixed wjth the wool. During the past thi'we or four years paper wool twine has been in­ troduced which is entirely satisfactory to the manufacturer. Rough, loosely woven twine made of vegetable fiber is not desirable because some of the fiber gets into the wool. It is impos­ sible to remove it. It will not take the dyes used in coloring wool and It is detrimental to the strength and finish of the cloth. The only way to get rid of it Is to pick It out of the finished cloth, which is an expensive process. Sisal twine Is the most ob­ jectionable. of all employed for tying wool. The mills have objected to it so strenuously that its use is being largely discontinued. In no event Should it be used; better not tie at all than use it. There have been placed on the market Jute products, called wool twine, which are not at Ell satisfactory. They are so loose rough that many of the fibers cling to the wool and cause defects In the goods. Undoubtedly the wool trade the world over will institute a war against this type of twine. These •o-called wool twines are also unneces­ sarily heavy. The best wool buyers object to excessive size and length of string. A well-known wool house In the middle west informed the writer that they had removed more than ope pound of twine from a single flfece. The use of so much cheap stuff amounts to unfair packing. It is not necessary to wrap the string more th*n three times around the fleece-- twice Is usually sufficient--and the sice of the string should be no greater than needed to give it the strength to stand the strain of drawing it In tight­ ly on the wool for the purpose oi ty­ ing. As stated above, it should not be more than one eighth inch in diam­ eter. 'India" three-ply sise No. 4ft is * type suitable for tying wool; so are Protecting Sheep From Dogs. A Minnesota farmer says that he keeps dogB away from his flock by put­ ting up in his pasture the dummy of a man holding a stick or a gun. This dummy is taken down every morning and set up again in the evening at dif­ ferent places from night to night. He says a sheep-killing dog will not go near enough to the dummy to discov­ er that it is a bogus man. Feeding Hogs on Floor. It Is best never to feed hogs on the ground. It is no more natural for a hog to pick his feed up out of the dirt and mud than for any other animal to do so, although circmstances have in many cases forced him to do so. Have floors on which to feed hogs. The Creature Sprang From the Water. when asked what they thought the thing was. The creature measures 5 feet 4 Inches from the head to the end of the tail. The tail alone measures 3 feet. The head resembles the head of a large "snapper" and is not unlike that of an alligator. It has twenty teeth, some short and ragged, while those in the front are shaped like a dogs, long and pointed. On its broad dgray back are scales from one to two inches in length, which overlap one another. The crea­ ture has four feet, like those of an al ligator. . When standing it would 1 w about a foot from the ground. The tail, Bhaped like a huge cone, reseni hies the tail of an aUigHtor A number of the oldest fishermen believed at first that the creature was a lizard more than two centuries old, while others declared that the thing answers to the description of the Jer­ sey devil, ' which several years ago gave the entire eastern states a fright. The thing will be k^pt by Mr. Miller at his bath house and placed on exhi bition for a few days, fn the mean time the scientific authorities at Washington have been asked to exam ine the creature and pass judgment as to what it may be.

The man pocketed the half and said: "Guess you'd better give another." Johns agreed. The burly solicitor repeated his demand for coins of the half-dollar denomination until Johns' hands were weary with punching the cash register and the till was empty of coinB. A stranger strolled in. "Have a drink, stranger," said the man. "Don't care for any," was the de- ply. "Oh, yes, you do," and the man went through the performance of ex­ hibiting his weapons. "I'll take a beer," said the stranger. The armed man became affable. He invited the bartender to drink with him, and shook hands agreeably all around. Johns caught sight of his negro waiter coming through a side door, and made signs to him while the man was having another drink with the stranger. A few moments later Patrolman J. H. Loeck walked In while the man was shaking hands with Johns again, seized him and disarmed him. When the couple arrived at the police sta­ tion likenesses were produced from the rogues' gallery which identified tht> man ae George Cook, alias George Rodgers, an ex-convict.

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD Ransom, 111.--"The trouble started on our baby when he was only about two weeks old. Started like little white pimples, looked like an old scab of blood and matter. His whole head was covered for a few months, then it went to his ear, shoulders, and his whole body. It seemed to come out thick and sticky on his head, while on the other parts of his body it was more like water coming out of the skin. He would scratch until the erup­ tion would be all covered with blood and gradually spread. The least little stir or rub would cause the sores to bleed, spread and itch. Never had a full night's sleep, restless all night. "The sores were horrid to look at. It lasted until he was about two and a half years old. Th^n we saw an ec­ zema advertisement in the paper to use -- , but it did no good. Then we used Cuticura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint­ ment on thick at bed time and put a tight hood on so he could not scratch the sores. Then we washed it clean with Cuticura Soap and warm water twice a day, and he was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber­ ger, Dec. SO, 1911.
