unlimited range, where, without any
feed whatever, goats would subslSt the
wear round. Their favorite food is such
as is rejected by other domestic animals.
They utilize the growth of leaves and
noxious weeds by converting it into
the most beautiful fleece. The common
goat as foundation stock can be bought
for a merely nominal sum. The only
material cost is that of pure Angora
buck, costing $50 to 800. The fleece OF
the second cross is worth from 20 cents
to 25 cents per pound. Each additional
cross rapidly increases both the quantity
and quality of the fleece, and when the
third and fourth cross is made, you IND
the fleece equal in value with the full
blood-worth in the market IS cents per
pound, and averaging about five poands
to the head. By purchasing three or
four hundred common goats, costing not
exceeding one dollar per head, it would
be but few years before aock of 900
goats would be built up-yielding an an
nual clip of 1000 or 5000 pounds OF Mo-
hair. We may be mistaken, but we be.

Notwithstanding an important
factor in the future wealth o.
the country. On a small place
or in thickly populated section o
the country, the breechy habits OF tn
goat make him very undesirable
neighbor. They will not brook confine
ment. Put them out on our creeks ant
wild lands, where they can roam TO
miles at will, and they are then in con
dition most favorable to their highes
development, and will prove most prom
able to the owner. To every one VIII
owns the common goat we would urg

of farm stock, horses, cattle, hogs an

:. exception. Grade him up.

An exchange gives this timely sugges-
ton: "Cooling off suddenly when
heated sends many of our farmers youth
to an early tomb. 1t is often matter
of surprise that so many farmers boys
and girls die of consumption. 1t is
thought that abundant exercise in the
open air is directly opposed to that dis
ease. So it is; but JUDGMENT and knowl-
edge of the laws of health are essential to
the preservation of health under any
circumstances. When Overheated cool
off slowly; never in a strong draft of air.
Gentle tanning, especially if the face is
wet with cold water, will soon produce q
delightful GOODNESS, which leaves no disa-
greeable results.

Coal Osl RepelliMO Rabbits.

WIN. Kiehl gives in COleman's Rural
World a statement of his success in CO.
piously using coal oil on trees for keeping
off rabbits. "It works like charm. No
rabbits have touched the trees since, as
rabbits have no fancy for dead trees. "
Coal oil, tar and grease kill apple, peach
and pear trees if applied to their trunks
by closing the breathing pores of these
living beings. When a tree has no leaves,
its circulation of air takes place through
the pores in the bark. Fetal chicks in
eggs may be killed by filling all pores in
eggs with grease, oil or paint.

"A curious custom and recreation of
the Hoopa Indians is a perspiring one,
and in which they all participate. They
have sweat-houses built close over hole
in the ground, and entered by small
aperture. Hot stones are cast into it,
and When at a sufficient heat the Indian,
perfectly naked, and of both sexes, crawl
into it, and remain as long as nature will
bear 1t. They then creep out, too ex-
hausted to stand, and lying on the ground
until strength is gained, they plunge into
the cold water of the river. 1t is a sim.

When to cat Wheat.

A Missouri farmer writes long and
earnest letter condemning the practice of
cutting wheat before it is ripe. With
some truth, he inculcates much error.
We have often urged farmers to teach
one another through the press; but it il
every way desirable that man should
not undertake to teach m IRE than he
knows. The writer alluded to believes
that rust, smut, mildew, and other dis
eases of the wheat plant, come from har
vesting wheat too soon, and thereby i'm
pairing vitality in the seed sown.
Every seed should be fully developed
before planting; but lack of moistur'
at the roots of the growing and ripeninl
plant, even where suitable food is album
dant, may check the organization o
gluten, albumen, starch, oil, gum or su
gar in the seeds of wheat or corn to
degree that will injure them for produe
ing new generation of the species. T
advance breed of animals or variet
of plants, requires something more tina
ripe seed to do the needful; nor does
follow that in case heifer or bull b
comes parent at an early age the Of
.pring will be diseased as consequence
Most of the maladies which affect mai
beast and plant are parasitic in their OF
gin and nature. Rust, smut and milde
are as we'll known parasites as the sma
animals that produce scab, mango an
itch, or the larger ones called ticks ar
chiggers.

A THIRSTY fellow ipsulted widow
for not selling him liquor on Sunday
morning. Her preacheri instantly knocked
him down. Whereupon the widow
clapped her hands and shouted, "Thank
the Lord, the preacher can take hand
at most anything" Such is the case
with Judah P. Benjamin. He was,
before the war, one of the ablest senators
in congress. During the war he was
Jeff Davis secretary of state. When
the southern confedaracy collapsed he
made tracks for London, and there set up
his legal shingle. Now, Olive Logan
saws in one of her London letters, she is
literally run down with business, and
turns people with their hands full Of
geld away from his door every day sim
DIV because he has no time to attend to
their cases. He earns matter of one
hundred thousand dollars every year
and could earn more if he could put 8
legal extension on the twenty-ioul

These territories have, it seems, a
greater number of 50 uare miles than thei in
habitants they are supposed to be able to
support. They are estimated above to
be capable of supporting about three
quarters of an individual to square
mile! Great Britain supports 25O to the
square mile. and several kingdoms of
Europe have a population much denser,
but half the territories of the United
States, embracing about half the area Of
this whole country, with much soil in
comparably fertile, and climate favor
able to divere vegetation, are "esti'
mated" to be able to keep alive an az
gregate population about as large as the
present population of Massachusetts,
The Tribune can safely multiply it,
figures by twenty, and even then the
families would live too far apart to reach
each other with tin horn. If our ter
.ritories could support population Al
License as that of Holland, it would number
45O, 0OO, 900; multiplying the Tribune'
figures by 20 would only provide for %,
600, 000-a population only one'fifteentl
as dense. There is a good deal of "ba'

allowances. are capable of supporting j
