AngOra Goats and the Demand for
 their Pieces.

Col. w. w. Hollister, one of the great sheep and wool-growers of California, be- ing asked" Do you raise Angora goats, and if so, with what result? replied:
 "I have handled them only in a small way, having had few with one grade buck 7s fine, and 1 suppose about dozen common goats for four or five years. The result was all l could aSk-very good; believe in the business fully, and from what have seen and what 1 have heard, think the raising of AngOra goats one of the very best things for the individual and the country that can be started. 1 say this only for California, for here I know how they thrive, and elsewhere l do not. l, at least, should only follow the raising of the animals here in California, or in locations where the climate is similar Next to this State, Arizona and New Mex icO are the best places for goat or sheep raising, chiefly on account of climate. Texas and Southern States adjoining are good, but not as good, frequent changes of climate making the difference"
 sRegarding the value of the fleece, Crofutt's Western World, of New York, recently stated:
 The hair CT fleece from the Cashmere goat bred on the Pacific Slope, has got to be a considerable feature among the com mercial products of our country. In recent shipment to Davis & Faulk, Phil au6i pnla, several nunCTtO pOunuS or tDlS fleece, after being sorted out, was valued as follows: For fine, $2.20; low fine, $I.l0; fine kempty, so cents; low kempty, 70 cents." (The name Cashmere" as ap- piled to our California ieece-bearing goats, is simply a misnomer. They are all An gOraS.)
 Messrs. Hall, BrOadhead & Co.,, of the new alpaca and mOhair factory at James stown, New York, have announced to the breeders of Angoras in all parts Of the country, and particularly in a letter to Robert $. Scott, of Kentucky, stated that they would work in their fac tory 100000 pounds per annum of mohair if they could obtain it at from siXty-fve cents to one dollar per pound for long cOmbing mohair.
 There is to-day a demand for more mo- hair in the United States than ten times the product of the past or coming year. There is, further, a demand in England (whOse last years importation of mohair excceded 6,000,000 pounds) for all the world can supply. In fact, one producer of Cal ifOrnia sent his last years clip to England Thus we see the mapufactories of Rhode Island, New York and Pennsylvania, as well as England, through their agents, bidding for this great product of the Paci- hc Slope, and we cannot supply them.
