Lane County.

Lane county extends from the summit
OF the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. In
size it is about five times as large as
Rhode Island or Connecticut. 1t fronts
on the Pacific distance of thirty miles,
with splendid harbor at the city OF
Florence, 1t occupies every altitude
from TIE ocean beach to the gIazier'
crowned summit OF the "Three Sisters
at the southeastern corner Of the county.
The Coast Range cuts it in two from
north to south.
Lane county is half prairie land, with
very rich soil, producing abundant crops
of grain, hay, fruit and vegetables, and
half hill and upland. The table.lands
bordering the valleys are partly covered
with timber or brush, most OF it being
open enough for fine pastursge. These
lands are fertile and yield abundant
crops when cultivated. Every crop that
grows in the Willamette Valley g!ows
in Lane county. All the farms are sup.
piled from natural sources with the best
OF water. The immense timber wealth,
aggregating nearly - 900 900, 900 feet. is
Just beginning to receive attention. No
county in the United States has AS large
an amount of timber as Lane. The ia
nous Bohemia mining district, destined
TO become the Cripple Creek OF Oregon,
lies partly in Lane county.
The population OF Lane county is
about 1000, all white. The county is
rapidly adding to its population desir'

TIE ANGORA GOAT.

During the past ten years 4 number OF
our active farmers have been introduc
ing the Angora goat into Lane county,
especially in the foot.hill country,
These thrifty farmers had but one object
in view at the time these goats We're
purchased, and that was 10 clear up their
farms at small expense. They bought
the goat for his work and not for his
wool. During the past five years, how
ever, there has been q great revolution
in the goat industry. Manufacturers
are beginning to discover the many ad
vantages and special qualities OF mOhair,
Numerous desirable and elegant fabrics
are now being made from this wool, and
it has been found that the goods are ex-
ceedinsly fac and durable. Another
special feature Of this goods Is, that It j.
much more free from the attacks ut
moths than goods made from Sleeps
%ool. For this reason, it Is said that
the major portion Of the valuable up
hoIstery low used in railway cars, Is
made Of goats wool.
The entire number Of Angora gcata in
Lane county today will probably not
exceed 5000 head. When We come to
consider the vast area Of good brush
country in this county. so we'll adapted
to goat grazing, We can readily gee that,
instead OF the small number now kept,
we could keep to advantage hundreds
OF thousands OF goats in Lane county
alone and keep them well. We are
speaking now more particularly ne to
the value Of their wool and increase
and OF the profits that are bound to &C.
eur by continuous and thrifty care Of
IT." domestic goat. A. to their adapt
ability to our climate there is 10 ques-
ton, and as to the numerous advantages
arising from raising goats. this has been
thoroughly and satisfactorily settled
! long since.
We would earnestly commend this
subject TO the active and cnterprising
/ farmers from the Eastern States, who
are now locating and who expect to I0-
cate in Lane county, recognizing that
this industry may he made on" Of the
most useful and profitable within the
entire range Of farm and field products.

HORTICULTCRE.

Excepting the tropical and citrus va
rietias, all fruits thrive in Lane county
even the tender olive and liz. Al
mcnds, peanuts and wanuts have
passed beyond the experimental stage.
Fruit has been grown in Oregon for 10
years, but only OF late years in sclen-
tiiic manner. The State now supplies
aid and information. through the Board
OF Horticulture and the Corvallis Agri-
cultural College. No one need longer
fail through ignorance Of proper meth
od Of stock selection, planting, cultiva-
ton, pruning and science Of pollination.
Here as elsewhere horticulture calls for
painstakiug and intelligent work and
great patience. Large profits have been
made in ,he past, depenljn. ot course to
considerable extent upon the energy,

sailed with his majesty Charles II.

yachts, vessels not known among

monarch sailed were little similar to-
the racers of the present day. Men

Fighting owls.

Owls have, habit of dealing with
game they have killed that leads
some observers to think that, like
dogs, they prefer fowls that have
not been too recently slain. One
of the birds will often leave
chicken or rabbit for day or two
before eating it. An old trapper
says he has often had muskrat traps
robbed by owls, only a part of the
rat being eaten.
When he finds a trap. so disturbed,
the trapper leaves the rat where it
lies and sets another trap beside it.
In all probability the bird will re-
turn the second night, in which case
it will be more than likely to be in
the trap when the owner comes next
morning An owl in trap will Of.
fer to fight, and, if it gets a chance,
will peck at its captor or his dog I'M
mercifully.
A farmer who caught one of the
birds by setting a trap alongside of
chicken that had been killed in
judiciously reached ont to catch it
by the feet. The free foot executed
q movement that was entirely be-
yond the farmers comprehension,
and the next minute the latter
found his wrist gripped in a set Of
clawsto which the trap was as moth
ing. He was. obliged to kill TIN
bird, and then found that the claws
had penetrated to the bone.
