Wool Classing and Packing
The represent a tire of an English firm of woollen manufacturers gives the following hints on classing and packing wool : — It is necessary to keep tbo different qualities of fleece wool separate from each other. Not unfrequently fine crossbred, halfbred and Lincoln fleeces are packed together promi«cuously, whereas three divisions should have been made. In packing crossbred* it should be borne in mind that evenness of quality is of more importance than similarity of condition. All dingy clotted, or bush stained fleeces should be rigidly excluded from the bulk, as such defects detract from the appear* ance of perhapn an otherwise faultless lot of wool. The practice of packing different classes of wool such as pieces and fleeces, or pieces and locks in the same bale should be avoided as far as possible. It tuny be taken as aq axiom that to pack wool carefully and true to description as indicated by the marks branded on the bale is an advantage to the owner. To receive the best possible result for a clip it should not only be properly classed, but every fleece should be carefully skirted, and all dirty wool taken out, cleaned, and, if suitable, put in with the pieces.
