The VALUE AND PROFIT OF AN
CORA GOATs.-The increased inter-
est being manifested upon breeding
OF Angora Goats, causes us to try
to keep our readers informed in the
value and profits of this beautiful
animal. There are several large
focks of Angora Goats in Kentucky,
and the owners are readily selling
them for $50 to $40 each. Judge
W. B. Hoke of this city, sold fifty
goats to gentleman in New Mexi-
co for 81 500 cash, which is double
the usual price that sheep will bring
in such large numbers. He and his
brother, G. G. Hoke, Baskerville,
have had such confidence in the
future demand for the Angora that
they have now a large flock and in
tend to keep increasing it. They
have sold the clip from their An.
goras for 1925 per pound, which
surpasses the price of the best
woods. Another Kentucky farmer
sold sixty head of three-quarters
blood for $4,000, which was above
1913 per head. Stockings, clothing
or shawls made from Angora wool
will last beyond any other species of
WOOL Southern Agriculturist.

TWELVE YEARS IN GUATEMALA.
Mr.. Geo. 0. Foote formerly of st.
Mary parish, La, called on us few
weeks since. We knew him long
time ago. He has lived in Gaute
mala since 1865, and has been en-.
gagged in the culture of sugar came.
He made a handsome little fortune
in that country, and lost it. He
thinks that would be an excellent
country if it were filled up with the
right kind of Americans. He thinks
that the country is healthy, and the
climate delightful. The thermome-
ter ranges from 80 to 81 degrees in
the summer, and seldom reaches 80
degrees, never 100. People often
live to a very old age there. Mr..
Foote lived at Centre Tomas. They
never have yellow fever where he
resided, and the fevers generally he
thinks mild and manageable. Their
principal exports are sugar, coffee,
cochineal, and sisal hemp. Their
lands yield 5000 pounds OF sugar to
the acre. Canes rattoon an indefi
mite number of years, and the cane
is twice as large and twice as tall
as Louisiana sugar cane. They
have a silk grass from which the
natives make fiddle strings and
banjo strings. They raise, all kinds
of tropical fruits in abundance.
Bananas are their substitute for
corn and bread. The nights are
delightful, as they usually are in
tropical climates. The natives labor
at So month and rations, which
cost about 81 n. O. Picauue.
