Angora Goats,

Mr.. A. G.. Wilkes, residing near
Lousignout lake, not far from Green
vile, Oregon, has 100 head of fine
Angora goats Two years ago he
started with 40 head. From the in
crease, Mr.. Wilkes has sold a large
number and killed several for their
flesh, which he says is preferable in
point of juciness and flavor to NUT
ton. Mr.. w. says that his flock is
very prolific, give but little trouble,
and do not trouble meadows or grain
fields as long as any browsing is to be
had. During the time the goats have
been on the place, now about two
years, it has not been necessary to
feed them any hay or grain, or to give
them any food except what they can
pick up in the fields supplemented by
the young bark and buds and twigs Of
few trees occasionally cut down in
winter for the benefit of the goats.
The wool of the goats averages two
pounds and upwards at "A clipping and
brings the same price as sheep wool
Mp j. Wilkes brother of A. G..
Wilkes, and residing on Dairy creek,
has also herd of about forty goats.
He says that aside from the wool and
flesh his goats furnish, they are worth

and killing out green sprouts and
brush. The goat industry is one that

gage in on the Northwest coast with

he meets with considerable encour-
agement from business men, who, rs
his subscription lists prove, provide
literally the sinews of war His la
bors here are very much interfered

more liberties than they would in

two years in the states prison al
