A Nevada man, noting the clumsy way in which sheep are often mutilated with the sheep-shears, and acting upon the idea that in ancient times ‘sheep were shorn with flint knives, has invented a knife of a peculiar shape, which is as sharp as a razor, for shaving the wool off. He says that, being kept close and flat upon the skin of the sheep, it is next to impos sible to cut them, and he claims that he can take all the wool off in less than half the time occupied by the snip-snipping of the ordinary sheep-shears, and with con siderably less tension upon the muscles of the wrist and forearm. The clumsiness ' of the sheep-shears has long been felt and acknowledged, and various contrivance, have been invented and brought under ‘the notice of fiockmasters, tried, con detuned, and forgotten, and this last idea will probably share the same fate.
