I have before me a list of some of the greasy wool sates of last vear, showing that certain buyers got as much as 6 cents a pound more than the ordinary market rates. There {8 also a difference in the price according to what part of the sheep the wool comes from.

These sheep did very well, and it was a few years after that that Captain Macarthur started the Idea of making a sheep country of \ustralia. Macarthur was a military man with a scientific bent. He had a farm near Sydney and experimented in crossing some east Indian rams and Irish ewes, and as a result produced wool better than that of B VPR § & % ¥ wWoolL either of the ancestors. He perimented with the Merinos. You know, perhaps, that up to the present century the finest wool came from Spain, which had always been noted as a sheep-breed- ing country. The Spanish had large flocks of Merinos, and the government forbade their exportation In order to keep the wool trade in Spain. The dealers of that time thought that good wool could be grown nowhere else than in Spain, and the Span- ish wool consequently brought the highest vrices. ‘Captain - Macarthur imported several Merino sheep from the Cape of Good Hope, and he also got some from the flock of King George III of England, who had originally secured them from the king of Svain "he then ex- English government gave Macar- thur a grant of 10,000 acres of land to try his experiment, and in a short time he proved that Australia could produce as good sheep as Spain and that its wool was equally fine. It was long before the wool exporta- tions amounted to much, but the flocks staadily increased and the character of the wool improved, until now we ralse more wool and better wool than any other coun- We ¢ I think, furnishing at least one-fifth of all the wool raised in the world today."
