Lively Demand for Aneorns

The Shepherds Bulletin says demand
for Angora goats is increasing rapidly.
Inquiries are mostly from the south
ern and western points of the United
States. The demand from the Pacific
northwest is brisk, especially on the
western slope. Angoras are best adapt
ed to rough land. Their fayorite food
is leaves aud bark, and they will leave
the best grass for brouse Angoras
are therefore more valuable than sheep
III very rough sections, and Will grow
lat where sheep will hardly exist.

GROW PRIME FRUIT.
Those Who Do 1t and Get AcqunIn tie d
with the Consumer Are Bound
TO Make Money.

Every grower of fine fruit should aim
to get acquainted in a business way
with his customers. / have a friend
who grows superb berries, and in every
box he puts ticket giving his name
and the variety of fruit, and in the
largest type he says: Price always
five cents above the market price"
With berries selling at eight or ten
cents ordinarily he gets five cents more,
and that means big profit. Can he
sell them? Certainly. He sells more
than any other grower in the county,
and gets his price. Then, too, his ber-
ries are so fine and large he gets them
picked for one-half cent less a quart
than others, and he makes it pay both
ways.
In the fruit growing of the future
there must be cutting down of the
acreage of the majority of the growers.
They must grow larger and better
fruit, of greater beauty and higher
quality, and the grower who gets the
closest in touch with the consumer will
get the highest price. Another thing

scale by few growers, by companies,
with certain lines of fruits in certain
localities suited TO them. The small
growers might do better by coopera-
lion, perhaps, as to methods of pack
ing and selling and transportation, and
it will bring more money to pay some
specialist to place ycnr products on the
market in more desirable shape.

supply. 1t is one OF the most impor-

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Euste hian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

ELECTRIC FARM ROADS.
When the Population Is Dense Their
Construction Could Not Fail
to Prove Profitable

The good roads problem is assuming
new and interesting phase. The sue
cess of rural electric railways has led
some of our progressive farmers to
consider the practicability of a CO.
operative system of electric lines on
country roads for use in hauling both
passenger and freight traffic. just at
this time, when steel and all the other
materials entering into railway con-
struction are so high, it may not be ad-
visable to enter extensively into work
involving such heavy expenditure, but
in many sections of our great agricul-
tural states, where for long distances
roadways are lined with producing
farms which stretch back perhaps for
miles, and where the quantity of prod
ucts involves a vast amount of expen-
sive transportation, made uncertain
through the influence of weather con-
ditions upon the roads-under such cir
cumstances there is no doubt but the
plan would prove entirely feasible,
while the effect upon the social life of
the farm would be immeasurablv adj
vantageous.
The proposition involves the con-
struction of track at one side of the
roadway with switches and side tracks
and main trolley system. This main
system to be used by individual farm
ers at will, employing each his own cars
as he now employs his wagons and bug
gies Running from the main line 10
each farm would be side track which
may be extended to barns, cribs and
bins to suit the wishes of the individ-
ual farmer. He could load his product
when he chose, selecting those times
when markets were most promising of
returns, or take his family to church or
institute, social gatherings or shop
ping. with swiftness and ease. the only
thing to interfere, perhaps, being heavy
SHOWS.
The American farmer is studying the
economies of agriculture these days as
never before. He is becoming in very
truth business man" He is learning
what the railway man and the manu-
f. .uurer long ago learned through ne
ctssity, that it is not the first cost, but
the expense of operation that counts.
He knows that the present conditions of
roads make transportation the most ex-
pensive item in his list. If the farmers
elecii ic railway is to lessen that ex-
pense IL ia bound to come.-Farmefs

LOW WAGON WITH RACK ABOVE.

LOW WAGON WITH RACK ABOVE.
tires for farm use. The front axle is
made eight inches shorter than the hind
one. Hind bolster nine inches wide,
front one ten inches. The break is fas-
tened to the gear. The standards are
made of iron, projecting above bolster
six inches, and extending down through
same and taking a nut. The width of
body is 81 inches, almost a foot wider
than ordinary beds. The front wheels
turn under the wagon bed, and by this
means you can turn round in a very
small space, as is often necessary to do
on the farm. The doubletree extends
out on either side even with the front
wheel, thus throwing your horses far
apart, and on the road they follow the
wagon track.
In addition to the regular wagon body
we take two scantling, 16 feet long, two
inches thick and six inches wide, and on
this we bolt on cross pieces GAY, two at
each end, one on top and another on
bottom of rail, and then bolt one piece
in middle (b) on the under side of rail-
This makes good support for the floor,
and thus we have good rack for haul
ing all kinds of grain, grass or straw
Outside this frame, between the rails
and hind wheels, we nail board (c)
about three feet long and Is inches wide,
to keep the hay or grain off of the wheel.
Or instead of board, frame can be
made out of 1x3-inch Stats to answer
the same purpose. This rack is
also very convenient to haul threshed
wheat, potatoes, fertilizer or anything
that is in bags, and being low down is
easily loaded and unloaded. If a farmer
tries this sort of an outfit once he will
not have any other. 1t costs little
more TO have wagon made in this style
than to buy one as usually found on the
market, but this additional cost is moth
ing compared with the great con-
venience found in using such a wagon
for all purposes on the farm.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

are driven into the ground and tied to-
gether over the top. Winds cannot
now blow the plant over nor SHOWS
crush it down. A similar result can be
obtained by driving stake down be-
side the shrub before putting on the
hay and burlap, allowing the stake to
project up through the covering. This
stake holds the wind in check and also
holds up the covering so that the snow
that falls upon it will not exert a crush
ing weight.--N. Y. Tribune.

BEST FARM WAGON.
An Indiana Experience from Which
Farmers in Other Sections May
Draw Valuable Lesson.

l have often wondered why it was
that manufacturers did not make farm
wagons more especially and particu-
larry adapted for use on the farm than
they do. The kind that are usually put
out all over the country do very well
on the road, but they do not fill the bill
on the farm. The wheels are as rule
too high and it takes one side of ten
acre field to turn round in, unless the
body is made so narrow that it won't
hold anything. We have had our farm
wagons of late years made to order in
the following manner: The front
wheels are 40 inches high, hind wheels
so inches. We prefer broad to narrow

TO BOIL A HAM.

Hams should always be soaked in wa
ter previous to boiling to draw out por-
ton of the salt, and to make them ten
der They will soften more easily If
soaked in luke-warm water. If it is
new ham, and not very salt or hard you
need not put it in water until the evening
before you intend to cook it. An older
one will require twenty-four hours soak
ing; and one that is very old and hard
should be kept in soak two or three days,
frequently changing the water, which
must be soft. Soak it in a tub and keep
1t well covered. When you take it out
OF the water to prepare it for boiling
scrape and trim it nicely and pare off
all the rough looking parts. Early in
the morning put it into large pot or
kettle with plenty of cold water. Place
1t over slow fire that it may heat grad
ually; it should not come to i boil in less
than an hour and a half or two hours.
When it boils, quicken the fire, and
skim the pot carefully. Then simmer it
gently four or five hours, or more, accord
ing to it's size. A ham weighing fifteen
pounds should simmer five hours after
it has come to boil. Keep the pot well
skinned. When it is done, take it up,
carefully strip off the skin, and reserve
1t to cover the ham when it is put away
cold Rub the ham all over with some
beaten egg and strew on it some fine
bread crumbs. Then place it in the oven
to brown and crisp. Cut some writing
paper into a handsome fringe and twist
1t around the shank bone, before send
ing the ham to the table.
