ANGORA OR CASHMERE GOATS.

The following letter, published in the
Pacific RurdI Press, of February 10th,
throws much light upon the subject of
goat raising, the capital necessary to enter
into and carry on the business, the profits
that may be made, etc:
EDITOR Press Great interest is felt
in the development of the Angora, or
Cashmere goat enterprise, and the ques-
ton is often asked, how long will it take
to produce grade of goats that will do
for shearing, by breeding tho female
goat to pure Angora bucksP In answer,
| submit the following scale as a solution,
showing the yearly increase, and the diff
ferent grades for five years, OF common
female goats bred to pure Angora or
Cashmere bucks, allowing them to have
kids once year, and one kid at birth !;
one-half of the kids to be females, and
they to have young when one year old,
and so on for each successive generation.
l will take the number thirty-two (32),
that being the smallest number that will
admit of the various subdivisions for
that period, and will assume that they
have kids on the lst day of January,
1872. This will give us the following re-
suit:

AN EASY SETTLEMENT.-- certain
old Vermont farmer preserved his con-
slant good nature, let what would turn
up. One day one of his men came in
bringing the news that one Of his oxen
was dead.
" Is he ?" said the farmer, "Well, he
was always breechy cuss. Take his
hide off and take it down to Fletcher's, it
will fetch the cash"
An hour or SO afterward the man came
back with the news that Limeback and
mate were both dead.
care they ?" said the old man. Well
| took them Of b. TO save IA bad debt that
! never expected to get. It's lucky it
amt the brindles."
After the lapse of another hour the man
came back again TO tell him that the nigh
brindle was dead.
:" Is he ?" said the old man. "Well,
he was very old OK. Take his hide off
and take it down to Fletcher's, it's worth
cash and will bring more than any two
Of the Others"
lIereupon his wife, who was very
pious soul, reprimanded her husband Sc
verely, asked him if he was not aware
that the loss was judgment from heaven
upon him for his wickedness.

the easiest way / can pay it,"

THE HABITS OF CENTENARIANs.--An An
nibal Camaux, who died aged 12l, and
who figures in picture of Horace Yer
nets was hard drinker and a great eat
er. The surgeon Polotiman, who died at
l30, and who the evening before his
death operated with great success for
cancer, got drunk every night. The
peasant woman Obst, who died at 1855,
took two glasses of brandy daily. Hence
it might be inferred that drinking pro-
longed life. But on the other hand,
Eleanor Spicer, who lived to be 121 ;
Grandet, who lived to be 1876, and Jane
Efingham, who died at IA, never tasted
spirituous liquors. Dennis Guinard, who
died at l22, resided in a limestone cavern.
Drahkembrg, who lived TO be l46, was
taken in his youth by corsairs, and for
fifteen years endured all the hardships oil
captivity. Jean Lafitte, who died at 1876,
from his earliest youth bathed two or
three times Il week, and preserved this
habit throughout life. Jean Causeur,
who died at 1877, lived on the produce OF
his dairy. Jean d'Outegro, who died at
l46, lived on maize and cabbage. Thorn
as Parr, who died at l52, lived on bread
old cheese, milk, whey and small beer.
Lastly, Pierre Lorton, who died, It is
said, at ls5, lived solely on vegetables.

FENoING.-The fence is costly struct-
ure. Illinois is said to have ten times as
much fence as Germany, and Duchess
county, New York, more than all France.
A narrow path divides farms in France,
Germany and Holland. In South Car
olina tho improved land is estimated be
worth $40, 600, 900 the fences have cost
SI6, 900, 600. The annual repair is tenth
of this. A recent calculation places the
cost of fences in the United States at $l,-
800, 900. Nicholas Biddle, thirty years
ago, said the Pennsylvania fences had
cost 500, 900, 600. In Ohio they are put
at Sis, 5,0OO,0 900, and in New York at
$l44, ,9OO,0O0 Some day fences will prob
ably disappear, and boundaries will be
marked with fruit trees or neat hedge
rows.
