MATSON and CO. THE AUSTRALIAN SHEEP. THE AUSTRALIAN SHEEP. THE AUSTRALIAN SHEEP. "Sheep are the product of intense breeding and are grown in Australia

to keep the graziers broke and the buyers crazy. They differ very much in quality and breeding, and the man who can guess- the nearest value of sheep is called a sheepman by the public, a fool by the grazier, and a poor business man by his creditors. "Sheep are born in Autumn, Mortgaged in Winter, shorn in the Spring, and die on the roads in Summer. "The price of sheep is determined at Newmarket, and when you have sold they go up; when you have bought they go down. An agent working for a firm of country stock agents was sent to Newmarket and, after a few days' deliberation, wired his firm to this effect: Some think they will go up; Some think they will go down; I do too. Whatever you do will be wrong. Act at once." FARM IMPLEMENTS. It is impossible for a machine to render efficient service when in a bad state of repair or badly adjusted, for it means that the wear and tear is increased considerably and depreciation increased. Thus it is advisable to keep all wearing parts properly adjusted and repaired. These repairs should be made systematically, and at times when there is no urgent work, adjusted and repaired. Urgent repairs —breakages made when machines are actually working—should be executed immediately. It is no good using binder twine and fencing wire or inefficient working will be the result. A careful operator will note, while using the machine, repairs which are necessary when the season's work is completed, and keeping a record of these attached to the machine on cardboard, or something of that type, will know definitely what jobs are to be performed to put the machine in good order for immediate work. This overhauling is conveniently done when it is too wet for outdoor work. Duplicate parts should be ordered early, and repairs which cannot be performed in the workshop completed as soon as possible. If left to a later period, near the time when on intends repairing the plant, it is found the parts are missing, and so much valuable time is lost. Thoroughly clean all machines when overhauling, for in this way many defects are noticed which normally would be overlooked. Wearing parts will be detected, and if it is impossible to take up this wear, new parts should be ordered and put in. This not only reduces depreciation, but may also be the means of avoiding a breakdown during the busy season, when a few days' delay may prove to be very expensive. H. MATSON and CO.
