In connection with the need Of a larger

"The Controller would recommend legi5-

The Goat in Agriculture.

The owner of a badly brier-infested
or Undiscovered farm has before him
an expensive and disagreeable task, if
he intends to clear it by manual labor.
Many millions of dollars have been
expended in this country in that kind
of work, and many millions more will
be spent in the same direction. But
the Angora goat will do the work for
nothing and pay for the privilege. 1t
prefers briers and bushes to the best
clover or grass that was ever grown.
An Iowa land owner has cleared 600
acres of briers and bushes through
this agency. He estimates that the
goat hes increased the value of this
land ct least $40 an acre, and while
the animal has been making the owner
money in that direction, it has been
contributing to his bank account with
its hair, skin and flesh. Nor has it
been troubled during the time by the
great enemy of the sheep, the dog.
1t may be turned into a field that is
covered with briers, and it will leave
it clear and will convert a vast deal of
the nuisance into value. After it once
gets a start in life, the goat will come
as near taking care of itself as a do
nestle animal a IL At first the young
need special care, but in two months
time it becomes a strong, robust, self
reliant farm scavenger, that will pro-
duce meat that is fully equal to NUT
ton, and at much less expense, and
mohair, which is one of the most val
liable textiles in the market, and
which, if the best quality, will bring
about fifty cents a pound, at least not
much under that figure. The Epito-
mist.

Poultry Notes.

Large fowls that are inclined to take
on too much fat may be fed lean meat
to advantage.
So-called cholera is usually a case
of indigestion. An actual case of
cholera is as rare among fowls as
among people.
A safe estimate for the amount OF
room allowed q flock is, house room
i0x10 for ten fowls and yard space ten
times as much.
Spade up a few feet of fresh earth
n the poultry runs each week for
busting and scratching, and lice will
not multiply SO fast.
Whether you burn coal or wood, save
the ashes. Silt them and ave the
dust to use in the houses and the char
to throw to the birds.
Lime, either dry or as a whitewash,
is the most excellent disinfectant that
can be used in the poultry house.
Daub every single thing with it.
The hen in winter needs q nice ven
temperature and plenty of sunshine.
Give her this and feed properly and
she will fill the egg basket regularly.
There is q constant demand for
fresh eggs, not only by the sick, but
by thousands of consumers. A good
way to do is to mark on the shell of a
fresh egg when it was laid.
Why farmers do not establish a
regular trade with the consumers in
their towns is a puzzle which can only
be answered by the fact that they do
not realize the great benefit to arise
from such schemes.
Don't fancy that it is necessary for
-FOUR fowls to get a prize at the poultry
show. AS a rule the best show birds
are the poorest layers. Aim to get
money-makers, even though a few
feathers may be off color.
There is one field the farmer has
that is only stumpy, new ground, full
OF weeds, briers and thistles. 1t is
the poultry field. What great chances
there are for willing bands and willing
heads, if they will but only go to work
in it in earnest.
The Penn's Grove record., 1899-12-01

AS a general rule, the permanent
pasture is neglected on most Of our
Western farms aud eyen on most
American farms. This is the case
even in our best dairy sections, where
Of ali places we might expect to see
the permanent pasture duly appre-
ciated and properly cared for. Even
where an attempt is made to cultivate
and manure and seed them, the effort
too often stops with sowing some
timothy aud clover seed, or of turning
The whole over to blue grass. Timothy
is not the thing for a pasture unless
it is to be used for horses, and clover
disappears in two or three years. The
blue grass is not good for the whole
season, and sometimes fails entirely
in dry, hot summers.
One great mistake in seeding for
permanent pasture is putting in too
few varieties. The mistake becomes
more serious when two or three varie-
ties OF grass are sown, all of which
mature at abont the same time. These
begin to grow together and for a time
the animals revel in q fine pasture.
But soon the grasses have reached
their best and all begin to decline at
once. The pasture then has no grass
coming on to take their place, and the
farmer must go to feeding or his cattle
will suffer. Grasses should be select
ed that not only mature at different
times, but that begin to grow at diff
ferent times. Sow some very early
and some very late grasses. Fol
early might be named orchard grass,
oat grass, the f%escues. For late,
timothy, blue grass, red top. To
these may be added meadow f~oxtail,
red clover, alsike clover and crested
dog tail, or other grasses that have
been proved good for pasturagei in any
given loeality.--Farm, Field and Fire

The Columbia Wins
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.1

cfFtIAL ~ III h APPEAL.
New York, Oct. I6-The Columbia
wins the first real sailing match,
beating the Shamrock eleven min
utes. The boats started from the line
at II O'Clock, the Shamrock getting
three seconds the best of the start.
The atmosphere was foggy with a
twelve knot wind blowing. The ex-
cursion boats and tugs interfered in
a measure with the yachts, but not
enough to cause complaint from the
managers of either.
At 1915 the yachts were well on
the course, with the Columbia lead
ing by nearly half a mile and opening
up the gap as she held the wind close
The American yaaht Increased her
lead to nearly a mile at I:o4 and the
wind treshened.
At a quarter Of a mile from the
turning post the Columbia led bv a
mile and a half, turning at 1888. The
Shamrock turned ten minutes later.
The yachts started home before a
ten knot breeze with the Columbia
holding her lead.
At $40 the Shamrock made a squirt
gaining a quarter of a mile. Several
minutes later the Columbia was al
most becalmed, while the Shamrock
continued to hold the wind. The
Columbia caught the breeze again
and the Shamrock lost it.
The Columbia continued with the
wind and finished three-quarters of a
mile in the lead The winner crossed
the line at 3:55, and the Shamrock
at 400.
