Hero In Australia tho government has
colleges for wool students. A branch nf
tho technical schools Is devoted to night
classes for sheep bleeders and wool dealers.
In theso schoolH tho students are taught
all about sheep, Tho diffcteut breeds aro
exhibited and their qualities pointed out.
Tho students have to grade and elnsstfy
wool and hundreds of bales from tho sta
tion nro supplied lo tho school by wool
dealers for this purpose. Koch student
wears an npron nnd overalls to kocp tho
grensy stuff from soiling his clothes whllo
he goes through the bales, picking out tho
gooil and bad wool and sorting It according
to quality. Ho Is taught how to shear
sheep and how lo scour wool He Is takon
by the teachers Into tho wool stores and Is
given the host of practical Instruction as
to feeding, shipping and marketing.
Thero Is a regular prnfcFslon of wool
sorting In Australia and tho man wh 1
knows all about wool and sheep can get a
high salary as a manager or expert Sup
pose a squatter has 100,000 ulieep and can
ndd one pound per sheep to his crop of
wool, the difference Is 100,000 pounds por
nnnuiu. which moans n fortune. It Is so
with tho men owning smaller docks and
henco the wool nnd sheep exports aro sure
of good wnges.
Men from the woolen mills of England
aro brought out hero for this purposo and
overy ofTort Is made to produce the highest
priced wool.
I had a talk as to the growth of Aus
tralia's wool Industry with one of the old
time squntters, a man who hns been raising
sheep for llfty years and who has now
about 60,000 on two different stations. Said
ho: "Wo havo fower sheep In Australia
today than wo had ton years ago. Hero In
Now South Wales we had moro than C!),
000,000 In 1S91 and now wo have Just about
10,000,000. We have lost 20,000,000 by tho
drouth fcnd overstocking and havo now
Just about what wo can easily feed. I con
remember tho tlmo when thore wcro only
cither of tho ancestors. IU then ex
perimented with tho Merinos. You know,
perhaps, that up to tho present century
tho finest wool camo from Spain, which
had always been noted as n shcep-brccd-Ing
country. Tho Spanish had largo flocks
of Morlnos, and tho government forbade
their exportation In order to keep tho wool
trade In Spain. Tho dealers of that tlmo
thought that good wool could bo grown
nowhere clao than In Spain, and tho Span
ish wool consequently brought tho highest
prices.
"Cnptnln Macarthttf Imported several
Merino sheep from tho Capo of flood Hope,
and ho also got somo from tho flock of
King Oeorgo III of England, who had
originally secured them from tho king of
Spain.
"The English government gavo Macar
thur a grant of 10,000 acres of land to try
his experiment, and in a short tlmo he
proved that Australia could produco as good
sheep as Spain and that Its wool was equally
fine. It was long boforo the wool oxportn
tlons amounted to much, but tho flocks
stoadlly Increased (and Iho character of
tho wool Improved, until now wo raise moro
wool ami better wool than any nthor coun
try. Wo are, I think, furnishing at least
ono-flfth of nil tho wool raised In tho world
today." FHANK (I CARPENTER
