TO START WITH ANGoRA GOATS.

Ifyou only want to experiment, take
grades; but as a permanent invest
mont, and on small place, if you can
afford it, always buy the thorough
breds; only where large numbers are
required, or where capital is limited,
should grade goats be selected. But
no matter what you buy, be careful
that you get your moneys worth. The
name 'tpure blood" or Thorough
bred" is often only used to poke off
deficient animals on an unsuspecting
buyer, and remember particularly,
that no animal with bare throat or
chest or pouch will breed true to the
standard type; all that long, coarse
hair OF name on the back, between the
horns and tail, and along the rear part
of the thighs, depreciates the value of
your mohair. The coarse hair is very
easily introduced in flock, but ex-
ceedingly difficult to get rid OF. It is
d good deal quicker job to breed up
smooth-coated common goat to the
standard Angora type, than to breed
outthe coarse hair of full-feeced goats.
1t will stick to their get like their own
shadow. Ifyou are compelled to make
your start with common goats, by all
means take the smooth-coated, short
haired kind.-New England Home

IDEAL APPLE TRAYS.

fruit from evaporating any of its own
juices, and capable of being held at a
low temperature-just above the chill
ing points an almost ideal place for
the storing OF apples. But the loca-
tion is not all. Large quantities should
not be heaped together, nor should
apples be kept in barrels, bins or boxes
where the air cannoj circulate freely
through them. Any tendency toward
decay IS sure to ba augmented under
such circumstances The accompanying
illustration is presented as afording
an economical and exceedingly practi-
cal method of storing fruit. Trays
with slat bottoms, each three feet
square, are supported, one above an
other. upon brackets that are nailed
to pieces of upright studding. A sue.
cession of this studding with brackets
can extend along the whole side of the
cellar, or upon two sides, if desired.
The trays can be made as deep as de-
sired, and the fruit can be heaped up
a little. In this way but small quan.
tity OF fruit is kept in a mass, and the
air can circulate about each and every
apple. Each tray can be removed to
table if it is desired to look the fruit
over for the detection of incipient de-
cay, or when getting ready to pack for
market. Such trays will last for a
score of years, and can easily be made
in the home workshop on rainy days.

The animal is, however, no fish, but
is cousin of the salsmander's, and
one of the lowest of the group OF aui.
mails called batrachians. 1t goes by
the name of water dog. It may become
q foot long and has broad, fiat tail,
four short legs, wide mouth, and
three pairs of bushy gills. These gills
are not concealed as they are in fishes,
but stand out from the head, The
color of the water dog is ashy brown,
and on the back are number of dark
spots. It is a rather uncanny looking
creature, and the man who captures
it, if not acquainted with it, may not
unreasonably look with suspicion on
his prize. The fishermen usually fear
it, and believe it to be venomous. On
the contrary, ls is wholly harmless,
and it is doubtfulif it can be provoked
into biting. 1t certainly is not pois'
onous.
This animal lives perhaps wholly in
the water Of rivers, ponds and lakes.
There it conceals itself, at least during
the day, under stones and other OBJ
jects. Out of such lurking places it
protrudes it's head and watches for its
prey. The gills, which are of a
beautiful scarlet color, are kept waving
to and fro in the water. At night it
prowls about seeking for food. It will
probably eat any living thing which
it can swallow, fishes, frogs and snails.
1t sometimes devours large quantities
of the spawn of fishes. Some years
ago, OF Ecorse, Mich, about 1000 OF
these water dogs were taken in seine
at one haul. They had doubtless been
attracted TO the spot by the spawning
of the white fish, for some of them
were so gorged with fish eggs that,
when thrown on shore, the spawn flew
out of their mouths.
These animals do not depend wholly
on their gills for the air they need.
They frequently come to the surface
and gulp in air. They are found to
have quite we'll developed lungs.
As rule the batrachisns possess
gills while they are in the tadpole
stage of life, but when this is past the
gills are lost. In some respects the
water dog remains tadpole during
its whole existence.
