Book Description
Merino sheep have been one of the main supports of the Australian economy for over 140 years and their history is inextricably bound up with that of the nation. These magnificent animals, bred from the domesticated sheep of North Africa, have indeed proved to be the Golden Fleece for Australia. The first edition of THE AUSTRALIAN MERINO, published in 1990, was the most complete and detailed accound of the evolution, history and present state of the Merino sheep. In this 2nd edition, Charles has uncovered more information about this remarkable animal, and genetic testing has added another layer of empirical science to the mix. Included in the work is a discussion of the state of the industry today and its future.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX. WOOL PRESSING. This operation is so simple that very little need be said about it. I would, however, mention that I consider it a great mistake to press your wool too tightly; in other words, to put too many fleeces into a bale. It is a too general practice to aim at making what is called a neat bale, and this is effected by forcing into about two-thirds of the bale a quantity of wool amply sufficient to fill the package. About 230 or 240 lbs. of washed wool is as much as should be put into a bale, and this should occupy the whole length of it. By pressing too tightly, the fleeces get jammed into one another, almost as if they were felted together, and not only is there great difficulty in disentangling and separating them, but it is next to impossible to do so without more or less detriment to the wool. The man who immediately superintends the press is the one you must watch, for these persons generally take a pride in turning out these very pernicious "neat bales." Not in one shed of a hundred are the fleeces put into the bale with sufficient care, and on the best system. You will see them pitched, not even singly, but two or three at a time, up to the man in the press, who sometimes catches them, and often fails to do so, when down they come on to the dirty floor, and perhaps fall open; they are then hastily and improperly re-rolled, and in this state squeezed into a felty mass in the pack, plus sheep's dung, bits of stick, and any other filth they may pick up. Those fleeces, when the manufacturer sees them; will scarcely elevate the reputation of your brand in the market. Let the fleeces be handed, one by one, to the presser, and put carefully, and with some attention to regularity, into the pack, say four or five on each...
