ANGORA GOATS.
Habits and Value of an Excellent
Farm Animal.


II. T. Fuchs, in an article in Farm
and Ranch on Angora goats, gives the
following answers to questions con-
corning the habits of these animals:

quite amusing sometimes to see a goat
protect her kid against hogs, dogs or
anything that ventures TO come near.
Even young does appear 10 be afraid Of
nothing when they see that their kids
are in danger. But the whole flock is
apt TO run from barking, chasing dogs
or wolves.

A UNIQUE HANDLE.
Why the Owner Ia Proud Of the
Crook

GTQON.
A guest at one of the PRINCIPAL
hotels yesterday exhibited curious
and beautiful umbrella handle to
party of admring friends. 1t was n
crook of silver maple wood bearing
the natural bank, and its ornament
consisted of three heavy gold bands
or rings, encircling the shaft at equal
distances. What made it remarkable
was the self-evident fact that the
bands had been put on when the
branch from which the handle was
made was part of Il living tree, and
much smaller in diameter. The wool
had grown through and around the
combining metal, and bulged ont mt
eithes side, producing an odd pnd
striking effect
ut too, me four years to get the
material ready for this unmbella
handle said the proud owner. 81
live in the suburbs of st. Louis, ard
have several fine maple trees ON the
premises. In 1893 the idea occurred
TO me, and had a jeweler make me
these three rings, which l Slipped over
a small branch and tied at the proper
distance with cords. l had to select
very diminutive branch. because
otherwise the twigs would have pre-
vented the rings from going on, and l
picked out one pretty high up so it
would be out of the way of pilferers.
Then l waited patiently for nature to
clinch the bands by process of growth.
/ said nothing about the experiment,
and the family wondered why in the
world / climbed that tree so often. l
am travelling man, and whenever |
returned from the road | would lose
no time in taking a look at my pros
pective umbrella handle. 1t was slow
work, however, and the fall of 1897
had rolled around before l finally cut
the branch. Then l turned it over to
an expert, who kept it ten months
longer, seasoning and polishing it and
bending the upper end of the crook,
which was done by a process of
steaming. The result is what you see
/ am convinced it is the only thing Of
Its kind In the world, and l take good
care to keep it away from umbrella

A SEPARATOR.

makes milk into butter can afford to

2Ju pounds of butter i'm year, says an
exp. TT daiyman of the Western States
in an exchange. The cost of the separ.

the sake of having some basis for fig

With a large number of COWS. and
with power to run the separator. it
will he easy to see that the relative
profit would be greater. Where the
separator is run by hand there will be
no saving of time to amount to any
thing. The time taken in turning the
separator and cleaning it just about
equals that taken in setting, caring for
and skimming the milk 10y hand and
washing the cans. There was one gain
even then--they did not have to warm

Feeding Milch Cows.

1t is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One
inclined to go to fat makes IN excellent
beef COW. hut Il relatively poor mixer.
As the nervous COW is apt to lie smaller
in proportion than Il large. fat beef
making cow, the idea gains some head
way that she requires less food. In
deed, there is tendency in some quar-.
tiers to reason that Il COW needs fool
III proportion to her size: that is. a
large COW requires more than n small
one. This is an error, of a most pro.
nOunCed order. II is nervous energy
that absorbs and uses up food, and it
requires more to feed such nature
than it does one of a phlegmatic dis.
position. Give all to the COW that she
will eat up clean is good rule to go
by. but if her appetite declines there Is
something wrong with her digestion
that needs instant attention. Very fire..
quently the cause is so simple that one
overlooks it. In nervous COW sud
den fright undue excitement or run
ming in the field. or anything that will
upset the nerves, may cause the flow OF
milk to stop temporarily and upset the
digestion so that the full quantity of
milk will not be given for weeks. 1t
is to guard against such slight acct
dents that the dairyman must exercise
his supervision and authority. His
cows are high strung milking machines
that will easily give out under abuse
or misuse.

If there is any suspicion that any
disease is lurking in the stable, this
disinfection should be particularly
thorough. Close the stable quite tight
and burn sulphur, or better vet burn

acid or some chloride oi lime. This
forms a deadly gas, and you want to
use it with caution. but it will do thor
