Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sheep and Wool Industry of Australasia: A Practical Handbook for Sheep Farmers and Wool-Classers, With Chapters on Wool-Buying and Selling, Sheep-Skins, and Kindred Products What a history of fascinating romance surrounds the sheep and wool industry! It is woven into every department of our national and social life. It is Australia's - and was once the main source of England's - national wealth, for woollen goods at the beginning of the eighteenth century formed two-thirds of England's exports. The trade in wool has caused great wars and, what is more, has paid for them, which cannot be affirmed by many persons and things that have brought about international bloodshed. For centuries it was the pivot on which much diplomatic and political intrigue revolved, and kings and statesmen thought and dwelt in sheep and wool. Australia is at the present time the leading sheep and wool-growing country in the world; it owes this position to the early pioneers who, with indomitable grit and courage, faced the Blacks, the droughts, the loneliness, and other dangers of the Australian bush, that only the stoutest hearts could survive. At the present time there are numbers of sheep farmers carving out homes in the more unsettled parts of Australia's great continent, and undergoing a good many of the minor disadvantages of their brave pioneer forefathers. I have often thought how valuable to them would be a well-illustrated and practical handbook, explaining in simple language the most suitable sheep for the various types of country in Australia, and the best methods of marketing wool. In the following chapters I have endeavoured to provide information useful to both the large station owner and the man grazing a few hundred sheep.

At the time of its completion we had ver severe frosts every night for a week or ten days, and I did not find a single Wire roken. This would not be the case with ordinary wire. The fencer, an old hand at the work, considers it the best Wire he ever used - and he has been fencing for the last 20 or 30 years - and he seemed sur prised that a wire of that guage should stand the strain, especially during the cold weather I speak of.
