A New Enterprise.

WE understand plan Is on foot
among Boston and New England cap
italists for the formation of an Angora
goat industry, on an extended scale,
in the highlands of the Appalachian
range, south. Suitable land can be OBJ
tanned there at cost of from twenty
five cents to one dollar per acre; in all
particulars of altitude, temperature,
vegetation, etc. such as is required for
the success of the enterprise. A gentle
man who is familiar with the industry,
and who has imported the goats direct
from Asia Minor, has agreed to place on
the rancho the best breeds of the ami
mails at a cost of not over one hundred
and seventy-five dollars the head while
he also guarantees the native Mexican
goats for use in grading up large flocks,
at not over three dollars per head.
Fifty thousand dollars will be ample
capital as basis for an industry num-
herring ten thousand head of Angoras.
First class mohair is worth to-day
seyenty-five cents to one dollar per
pound. The mohair industry, largely
controlled by English manufacturers,
can be made hereto the growers of
fleece as well as to manufacturers-a
very remunerative industry. We have
breeder of Angoras in this country,
whose recent importation gives him
twice the weight of fleece he has hereto
fore had grown on his goat ranch
among the mountains of Georgia.
Manufactures of plushes, braids, ETC.,
will be at once started in this country
on large scale, if our manufacturers
can be regularly supplied with the raw
material in sufficient quantity. AS this
country now leads the world in the
character of its merino woods, now the
basis of SO large and lucrative an indus
try, yet not long since the monopoly of
Spain, SO there seems to be no solid
reason why we should not raise in large
numbers the most valuable known lam
igerous animal, and the factories in
America for the consumption of mohair
rival those of Saltaire and Lyons in Eu-
rope, or the more ancient ones of An

Handling Colts.

1t is now the season for putting colts
at their first work, and as many farmers
are supposed to have sold surplus
horses since last seasons active work,
depending upon putting young stock to
work, il is of the highest importance
that this work be very carefully COM
menced, and the muscular and Joint
powers very gradually brought out,
otherwise the colt will become discour-
aged and learn to dislike the approach
OF the driver and harness. 1t is well to
put the harness upon the colt a few days
before calling upon him to do any work,
letting him stand in the stable with the
harness on, the chains, if there be such
to the harness, hanging loose, that he
may become accustomed to the rattle
about his heels. Take him out with his
harness on, driving him around the lot
or along the road, either single or with
the beast he is to work with. When he
is taken to the field, it is well, in place
of taking whip with you, to take lit
tie oats in sack and pail. When he
gets worried or discouraged with the
draught you put upon him, speak gent
ly, give him little oats in the pail, let
ting him stand for few moments, and
you will be surprised at his renewed
courage and willingness to pull. Say
but little, make your motions in very
quiet and matter-of-fact way. as though
You took it for granted he considered
himself full-grown horse, and yet do
not yourself forget that he is young and
green and as soft as a half-ripe squash.
If You expect the work of a six year old
horse out of him, then you are an ass,
and if you attempt to whip work out of
him, then your next door neighbor
should have you arrested for lunacy.-

Weighing An Elephant without Scales.

An Indian writer relates an interest
ing anectdote concerning Shajee, the
father of the first ruling prince of the
Mahrattas of Hindostan, who lived at
about the beginning of the seventeenth
century. On one occasion certain
high official made a VOW that he
would distribute to the poor the
weight of his own elephant in silver
money; but the great difficulty that at
first presented itself was the mode of
ascertaining what this weight really
was; and all the learned and clever
men of the court seem to have endeav.
ored in vain to construct machine OF
sufficient power to weigh the elephant.
At length, it is said that Shajee came
came forward, suggested plan, which
was simple, and yet ingenious in the
highest degree. He caused the un-
wieldy animal to be conducted along a
stage specially made for the purpose by
the water-side, into a flat-bottomed
boat; and then, having marked on the
boat the height to which the water
reached after the elephant had weighed
it down, the latter was taken out, and
stones substituted in sufficientquantity to
load the boat to the same line. The
stones were then taken to the scales,
and thus, to tho amazement of the
court, was ascertained the true weight
of the elephant.-Little Folks.

The comparative profit of large and
small farms is question that will not
stay settled. In few cases the subdi-
vision of labor and economy of system
tell favorably on returns; generally,
however, the want of capital, incapacity
for systematic effort, or little wastes
and leakages make ambitious undertake
ings comparatively Improbable. One
advantage i'll the small farm system is
the necessary appropriation of every
source of income, the utilization of
every capacity for production, and the
employment of the labor of every men,
Der of the rural family. The French
afford a good illustration of this idea
No fragment of time, no product of
rain is permitted to be lost. The care
of the silkworm and the keeping of
poultry are among these minor indus
tries that afford employment to the ex-
tremes of youth and age. The compar-
alive profit OF small and large flocks of
chickens only illustrates in an exagger-
ated fashion the difficulty in getting a
profit out of big farms. One in thou
SIND will conduct poultry operations
profitably on large scale by observing
with extreme care the conditions that
made a small flock profitable. If the
birds are. allowed free range without
crowding, pure air and water. and the
needed variety of food, vegetable and
animal, which small flock obtains in
its voluntary circuit of the farm. they
will be healthy and profitable. But it
is extremely difficult to fulfill all these
conditions. IN. y Tribune.

Shingles.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
Hcnd1 thus discourses in that journal
on the subject of treating shingles to
guard against decay:
In 1861 l built a new barn and put on
roof of the best shaved pine shing
l could get. They were made on my
own pine land in Pennsylvania, and
made by experienced workmen. They
were not dipped or painted. The cupola
on the ridge is niue feet square, and a
streak the width of it down to the caves
has no moss on it, the shingles look
new on both sides of the roof, while all
the rest of the roof is more or less
covered with moss. l called the atten-
ton of a reasonable carpenter to it this
year and asked him what made the
difference. He said it could be nothing
else than the paint that washed from
the cupola. A man in the neighboring
town keeps his roofs all painted, and l
have been past his buildings every few
DAYS for thirty years and have never
known of his putting on a new roof. I
have had much dealing with him and 1
know him to be strict economist. He
paints all his buildings Except his
house) with yellow ocher once in about
ten years.
l think the next best thing after
painting is to whitewash with common
lime as soon as the roof is on. Put it
on thick and strong. Look at the roofs
of the old-fashioned houses OF New
England, with the old stone chimneys,
with a roof below them as sound as the
roof below the cupola on my barn. If
have very fiat single roof, paint
it when new; all others 1 whitewash be-
fore the scaffold is removed. This is
many times cheaper than paint on new
shingles. Experience and observation
ought to teach old men what material
to use in building; young men are very
apt to follow some INFESTED hobby.
