Too much care cannot be exercised bv farmers taking over property in the case of wool brands (remarks a contemporary). Our attention was drawn the other day to the case ot a farmer who, after a period of years, had brought his clip to such a standard that his brand realised lid per lb. in the English market. He sold his property, and with it the wool brand taking over subsequently the brand'of a less careful owner, whose farm he purchased". Although the clip from the latter farm was equal to that of the former, it realised 3d per lb. less in the Home market, The moral to be drawn from the transaction is that it not only pays to be careful in the classing and handling of wool, but 'that those who deal in land should give full consideration to i lie relative value of the brands.
