4ngoro Goat Prospect.


Because there has not been any large shipment
of ine Angora fleece by the breeders on this coast,
certain papers are questioning the pro6tableness
of breeding Angora goat. Now, we think they
are little too fast in their distrust. 1t is only
few years since the first pure Angora was brought
to this coast, and but very few have ever been
brought here at all. The breeding with the
common or Mexican goat sos to produce grade
sufficiently high to shear fine grade of mohair,
takes several years with the utmost care. The
breeders Of such goats are encouraged with most
remarkable success, as any one can see who will
visit. the varinus i7neku nvarafhas State F-n~'
this time on we will see the results of this close
system of breeding in large shipments Of mohair,
increasing every year. The time spent in ''breed-
ing up from the common goat as a basis, is
not lost, although it has been slow work. Any
sensible person that knows anything about breed
ing, ought to be able 10 comprehend the fact in
the case. 1t is only occasionally that anything
less than a thirty-one thirty-second breed will
make fine fleece, and some of them even show
the common goat kemp too plentifully But
after an animal is very nearly pure breed, it only
takes few years to produce from them in their
progeny the qualities required. As to manu-
featuring the mohair, there are now eleven man
ufactsriesin the world and three in United States,
where it is worked into fabrics. When the ma
terial becomes plentiful here-and it will now in
short time-there will probably be machinery
in California for spinning the mohair into glossy
threads. Such machinery will not cost much,
and the spun yarn will be in demand to mix
with wool in manufacturing the finest fabrics,
10 give lustre to the cloth. There is not a
more sanguine set of men IN the-State than the
breeders of Angora goats and they have every
reason to be as the business is such to become
one OF the very best on the Continent. There i;
already demand exceeding the supply for such
fleece, and it will increase faster than the supply

FROM LECTURE BY MONSIEUR PALLIs.
Every action and emotion depletes the phys
zeal system. Milk, the first food absorbed by
men and animals, is the only natural mixture,
containing all the elements of blood save the
coloring. Water constitutes three-feurths of
the body To work well, either physically or
mentally, we must be fed judiciously and
thoroughly. The worker must eat mixed food
Food properly administered stimulates the
system as wine does, only more naturally.
The long night hours empty the stomach, de-
plete the system, and chill the body. On aris
ing, the physical condition is low, and should
be recruited. If we lose time at early morn
ing in bringing the body up to its natural heat
and strength, we cannot regain it during the
day. A healthy man requires about one pound
of nutriment per day to keep him in good con-
dition. While working man would need dai.
ly five pounds of solid mixed food, two and a
half would be enough for persons who lounge
and sleep much.
Life, said the lecturer, can be sustained two
or three weeks on two ounces day. A change
of diet should follow a change of seasons-in
winter, fats and sweets in summer, fruits, fish
and lighter meats. Milk and eggs, blood
food steak, flesh food potatoes and wheat,
which, being heating material, are fuel; and
coffee, stimulant.

WINTER WoRK.-One of the Oldest and most
extensive farmers in Vermillion county, Indiana,
has experimental largely on destroying brush and
briars, and on the methods of preventing sprout-
ing after being cut. After extensive expert
ments, he finds that by cutting underbrash and
briars ia the winter; when the ground is frozen
hard, say in January or February, that they are
most easily killed They sprout some in the
spring, but little care in cutting them back for
year effectually destroys them, the roots rot and
they disappear. The ground should be frozen
hard when the first cutting is done Cutting at
such time breaks and shivers the stem to the
ground, and although he has no lengthy theory
on the subject, thorough and practical test Of
the method proves it good one. 1t has been
tried on extensive areas Of land. We also hear
that in the southern part of the State this meth
cd has been tried with success, and those having
tracts of land encountered With brambles and
briars which they wish to make available, should
try this method during the cold weather. We
need hardly add that one could keep warm at
that kind of work. Indiana Farmer.

In view of the rapidly increasing
number of INDECENT sick and paupers
throughout the State, the Austin Rev
ellie suggests the propriety of estab-
fishing State poor-house, each
county to pay its proportion of the ex-
pense Of maintaining it. By this
means the Reveille thinks the expense
disappearing the INDECENT, which is now
an onerous burden on sparsely-
counties, would be materially lessened,
and by putting the able bodied panpers
to work, the institution could be made
almost demonstrating, and it would
have the effect of decreasing pauper-
ism. The idea is good one, and
worthy the consideration of the public.
The Legislature does not convene for
some time to come, and there is ample
opportunity to discuss the subject. To
utilize the labor of the INDECENT and
make the institution self-supportipg. it
will be necessary to locate it in an agri-
cultural community, and there is no
place in the State that offer such facili-
ties as Paradise Valley. 1t is within
easy access of the railroad. The eli
mate is healthy, and the soil is produc-
tive. 1t is capable of producing all the
grain and vegetables necessary for the
support of the institution. There is a
Touring mill and almost every neces-
sary convenience in the valley, and
land can be purchased at reasonable
price. 10 few years delightful home
for the INDECENT could be made there at
no very great expense, which would be
q credit to the State, and as nearly self
sustaining as it would be possible to
make it in Nevada.

THE Prussian Secretary of the Treas
ury, Herr Chaphausen, says that Ger
many is not the only country now suf-
fering from over speculation in couse-
quence of war; she is somewhat con-
soled by the compass of Belgium,
England and the United States. More
over that German manufacturers have
yet to learn the lesson of not exceeding
the market demand for consumption.
Things might be wore, and although
the iron and textile branches are in the
midst of a crisis, and living is dear, the
extravaganza of the past few years has
been checked. The trouble is that
Germany is relying too much on armies
and war accidents, to the serious detri-
ment of trade.

THE TRIAL OF LEE.

The trial of John d. Lee, the alleged
commander of the Mormon Legion ut
the Mountain Meadows massacre, IS
p. ogressing at Beaver, Utah. Intense
excitement prevails, and the Mormon
leaders are endeavoriug to exonerate
Lee, notwithstanding his apostacy. An
additional company of soldiers arrived
at Camp Cameron Saturday, and the
noted Bill Hickman was expected
hourly as a witness. Philip KliDgen
Smith, a Mormon elder, testities that
Haipht, who has been indicted, ordered
the destruction of the emigrants. lie
never learned why the emigrants were
killed. The order to. destroy them
came from Higbee, and witness
marched with his legion as private.
Indians were sent ahead to harass the
emigrants before they were massacred.
Of the seventeen children saved the
oldest was q boy of three or three and
half years. The testimony of the
witness dispels all doubt, if any exist
ed, as to the part the Mormons took in
the butchery; yet as the jury is COM
posed of eight Mormons and four Cen
tiles no hopes are entertained of con-
viction. The crime is the blacklist in
the dark catalogue of Mormon otfenses,
and now that there is proof positive OF
their guilt, it should result in breaking
up the peculiar institution which has
so long been permitted to disgrace the
annals of Territory of the United
States, and shield the perpetrators of
the most infamous outrages against
law. religion and morality from de-
served punishment.
