Rider Haggard, who nowadays is first a
farmer and then an author, draws gloomy
picture of the future of the rural districts
of England. Farm workers have left the
eastern counties in such numbers that
good land is going out of cultivation for
want of hands, and he foresees the time
when England will consist of enormous
towns, surrounded by ring of market
gardens, with nothing but uncultivated
''veldt' beyond them. He takes no stock
in the schemes for keeping people in the
country by providing village entertain.
ments, because he thinks it is the hope Of
making more money that is drawing al
England into the vortex of the great city
Yet the time may come sooner than is ex
pected, when, as Prince Kropotkin pre-
diets, the economic pressure will drive the
population back to the soil

Profit in Goats.
An Industry That Has Not Been DeveI-
Oped 40 the Limit.

II you can not do any better, raise goats,
soys the New York Press. Whence the
prejudice against the animal that furnish
ed the wearing apparel of the early man?
Goat statistics tell me that there are co.
600, 900 goats in the whole world, and that
the United States pay So, 100000 annual
ly for imported kid. Every barren waste
will make a superb goat farm. Goats
thrive on briars and acorns. They eat the
moss that clings to the shingles on the
roof of the old house. Their hair makes
rope that is indestructible by water
Their meat, properly handled, is as good
as mutton. Their milk is better than the
milk of cows. 1t makes the finest Of
cheeses. Their horns make fine knife
handles, and are generally called "deer-
horn" or "buckhorn" for trade purposes.
A goat will butt its way through vicissi-
tudes, while sheep will pine and die.
Goats have no chronic diseases. Sheep
have many. You can get start at goat
herding for few dollars.
You can buy one buck and 20 ewes for
$65. The ewes breed twice year. bring
ing forth the first time one kid and after
ward from two TO four. Averaging the in
crease at four, you will soon have got a
herd. Some ewes give gallon of milk a
day. / have personal acquaintance with
certain Harlem goats who are the sole con-
ISOLATION and comfort of some of my aged
squatter friends. Their daily food is la.
bells and theatre bills, with paste for a
background. The lazy negroes and poor
white trash of the South should be re-
quired by law to herd goats. 1t is an occu.
patton that would suit their indolent dis.
positions as it suited the trihlng shepherds
OF old, whose hardest toll was playing the
quilts, and whooping. The feed of one COW
will keep dozen goats. The goat is Just
as likely to get to heaven as the sheep; ]
believe he is more so, because he is more
industrious and independent.
