AnRora Goats.

1t is said that this country imported
the skins of 16,266,621 goats and kids
in the year ending June 80, 1893. But
the Angora goat. or its cross upon our
common goat, has other value besides
its skin. The fleece is about as valu-
able as that of a sheep, although weigh
ing less, as it sells at higher price per
pound. The flesh Of the kid or that of
a young doe or wether is pronounced
equal to the best lamb, while of the
older animals it is said to be as good as
Southdown mutton. They seem to
thrive in all sections, from Texas to
Manitoba, but are especially adapted
to q mountainous country, and are
much better at destroying bushes and
shrubs. They are also able to defend
themselves against dogs. Shall we see
the mountains and hill districts of New
England coversi with Angora Hocksf

Keepiuo Well Water Pure.

It used to be an old fashioned custom
in the country to put one or two trout
in a well to insure the water being
pure and wholesome. If they did not
keep it so it was supposed that they
would give warning of its impurlty by
dying themselves. We are reminded
of this by seeing in an English paper
that Prof. Sobrero, of Turin, has lately
advised the use of eels in the house els
tern for the same purpose. He says two
or three not large but lively cells would
devour anything in the water In the
shape of animalcules, infusoria. bird
dropping from the roof or vegetable
matter of any kind. We think they
would also take any animal matter like
toads or rats that might fall in and
drown.-American Cultivator.

Saving Rough Fodder.

A few years ago not many farmers
In the corn-growing States thought of
saving their corn slower, though per-
haps they turned cattle in among it, to
eat a little and tramp it down. Where
small grain was grown, the straw was
thought to have very little food value.
though some kept their stock half
starved on 1t. Eastern farmers, who
were thought to be very saving, seldom
fed out bean straw or pea straw. Now
all these are saved, and while they
need more grain with them than does
clover or other good hay, it Is thought
economy to feed any or all of these,
and by adding grain, keep the animals
in better condition at less cost than
when hay is fed. and at the same time
