The Michigan Farmer thinks that irool is going to pay well for the next Eew years, and that every farm in the jtate Buitable for sneep should have a 3ock commensurate with its size. It is juite evident f rom the reporte of sales :it the principal interior markets iu thig state that wool-growers have cut down Bocks very materially. It was nnfortuuate that they did this, both for themselves and the state. There is uothing on the farm that pays better than sheep - good sheep we mean - whether üne wools, middle wools or long wools. We want them all, because we think the United States oan grow all tbe wools -wantod by manufaoturers, and of aa good qunlity as can be grown in any part of the world. We have a range of olimate so extensivo that all breeds will will be suited, and every requirement of the woolen manufacturer met. Michigan wool-growers should increuse their flock at once. - Ex The following appointmenta have been made by the M. E. conference for the Adrián district: T. J. Joslin, P. E. Addison; O. F.
