THEIWOOL CROP OF 1872
The wool season is now well advanaed
throughout Ontario, and we arein a
position to estimate with considerable ac-
curacy the extent and character of the
clip of 1872. From enquiries we have
made in different gnarters, there is every
reason to believe that early progehstica-
tions have proved to be correct, and -Opt.
this season's yield is below the average
M quantity. - • •
The greater part of the wool clip of
the Province has been •marketedduring
the past thiee weeks, and it•is admitted.
that deliveries have been larger in a few
localities than buyers at first anticipated.
But the cause of this is to be found, in
the high prices offering, which have
tempted the farmers to *take as large
sales as possible, thus leaving, much less
than usual for their own home use., As
proof of this, it is reported that not a few
ecieal carding mills are suffering from
want`of business, and it is quite evident
that when over fifty cents per pound can
be readily obtained fer wool,tmost of the
farming community will prefer to sell -
rather than manufacture it themselves.
Notwithstanding the stimulus of high
prices, however, the aggetgate purchases
this season, lip. to this time at least, fall
below those of- 1871, and there are, con-
sequently, good. reasons to infer .a defici-
enay, more or less marked, ie the extent
?f this crop. -
The quality of Our wool, we are glad to
learn, manifests- signs of improvement,
although We hear some, complaints in re-
gard to iniperfect -washing. The ex.cel-
lence of Canadian wool is, however, 'new
generally adtnitted, and. almost every
year ivitheases further improvement.
This arises no doubt partly from the fact
that, as the country become' better Clear-
ed and Cultivated. and • the yeomanry
better off and more greater
attentioil is paid to housing the sheep,
washing; and keeping the fleeces clean
after clipping. The principal cause of
improvement, however, is to be found in
the action of the larger and. more -prudent
buyers, ''ho are steadily introducing a
more strict classification of the different
kinds and qualities of wools, and are
regulating prices accordingly. This
is
precisely as it should be, and if a proper
system of classification were firmly and
universally euforcediby experienced buy-
ers, our wool crop would. seen take still
higher rank in the markets of the world.

Years ago, into a wholesa.le grocery

looking man, evidently a fresh -comer
from some backwoods town in Maine or
New Hampshire. Accosting the fleet
person hemet, who htippened to be the
merchant 'hisuselfahe asked:
"You don't want to hire a man in
your store, do yon "

know. N.\ bat can you cite?"
" Do?" said the man; "1 rather guess
I can turn my hand to almost anything.
What do you want (lone?
" Well, if I was te bile a man, it
would be one that ceuld lift well, strong

shoulder a sack of coffee like that yon-

never lay it down."

you will shoulder that sack of toffee
and. carry it across the store twice and
never lay it down, I will hire you for a•

" Done," said the stranger; and by
this time e'very clerk in the store had

was not ,extremely heavy, and. walking
with it twice across fac store, went
quietly to a la.rg,e hook which was fast-
ened to the wall, and hangieg it up,,,
turned to the Merchant and said :-

Steele rising is carried on in the

is almost inconiseivable to pereons living
in the vicinity of the great cities of the
North and. East, where land is worth ten
thousand dollars an acre, and corner lots
sometimes sell for t•:100,000 aeiece. For
example, there is a farm, or ranelee, in
• Texas, which coutains 142,0et acres. It
is known as reklikleaux Randle, and lies
between the Neuces and Rio Grande
rivers. It is a peninsula., running far
out into the Gulf of Mexieo, and the
head is emarded by 30 miles of plank
fenee, with heidsmen's residences at in-
tervals of three miles along the whole
distanee. If a man had a terra in this
region as large as the island. of New -
York, it would be looked upon as a pretty
good-sized piece of teal estate ; bet this
Texas ranche is more than ten times as
large as.the island of New York. And it
is stocked on a seek commensurate with
its extent. Thirty thousand beef cattle,
and tent; of thousands of horses, mules
and sheep feed over its grassy stretches, ,
and: yield. a vast revenue to their owner.
There are other ranches la Texas, com-
prising respectively over 100 square
miles --64,000 acres -and stocked by
thousands upon thousands of cattle,
horses, mules and sheep. And HO favor-
