In this matter we are confident Of speaking

CASHMERE GOATS-The Southern Cultva
tor has received from r. Peters, of Atlanta, Ga.
samples of wool from some of his haIt-blooC
kids, (raiscd from common goat with a Cash
mere buck) and rcmarks
These samples are really of astonishing fine
ness and length Of fibre; and when we consider
the undoubted value of this wool for manutac
turing purposes-the hardy character Of the goat
its exemption from nearly all d;scases-its
doe-defying character and its superiority III
all most every respect over the sheep, so far as
vigor and stamina are cOnccrned-we are con-
strained to repeat, with increased confidence
our declaration of last month, that the Cashmere
goat is by far the most important and valuable
addition that has been made to our domestic
animals within the past century.
Mr. Peters says; "They closely resemble
sheep, with the exception of being able to pro
tect themselves from the attacks of dogs. They
prefer weeds, brars, shrubs, and leaves, to
grass, and will keep fat Oh inferior pastures,
where sheep would starve. They should be
sheared twice a year--in April and September.
The ewes yield about four pounda, and the
bucks 6 to Z pounds, at the two shearings. The
wool of the kids and the yeariings is adapted to
the manufacture Of the most costly shawls, that
of the old ewes and bucks is of a coarser, but
stronger character
