I appreciate the trust that still exists in the country. While we were in New York, our shearer, Jim McRae of Rutland, Vt., came to the farm, got the sheep into the pole barn, sheared them and left a bill for $76. He is a good man and a great shearer, and it is always a certain sign of Spring to see the sheep shorn, cool and light. Maria has more wool to take to the mill.
