Wool.

Wool is down it is true, but it is not going to stay down for ever, and those farmers who have benefitted by a succession of properous years through their ownership of sheep, would do well to carefully consider the situation before turning their attention to other branches of farming. In the long run the man who holds on to his special line, even if the financial barometer does go down to "stormy" is the man who comes off best. Those who "chop and change" their stock must, in- nine cases out of ten, have the markets against them, for they generally commence operations when everyone else is doing the same. The latest reports from home go to show that, in the opinion of those well conversant with the subject, wool has reached its lowest values for this season, and there is every probability that from now on prices will improve. Finely powdered alum, as much as will lie on the point of a penknife, blown into the eye of a horse, cow, sheep or pig, will remove any foreign substance as chaff or grain of sand, etc. No case is hopeless, even where a layer
