Her Opinion.
To an audience assembled In St.

Mrs. Grand Ia a fluent and vOlubls

capital available for the purchase OF
animals. the real producing source OF
any live stock enterprise.
1t is because of the almost innumer-
able locations Of this character that are
available in Montana and the use Of
thousands Of acres of ideal Angora
range lands in the mountains to be had
free Of any charge or expense that the
Angora industry is most promising
one in Montana and one, when its pos
sibilities are understood, that will surely
grow to great proportions in this state.
Mr.. Brannin considers eight to ten
tons OF hay an ample amount to bring
1000 Angoras through Montana winter
in excellent condition, while sheep
owner would not feel safe unless he had
several times that amount of winter
feed for like number Of animals.
This is due to the fact that the goats
from choice prefer browsing on the will
lows and underbrush to eating hay, and
IN the many mountainous locations
where such feed IL available in abund-
ance. little other provision is necessary
for the winter season.
Last year Mr.. Brannin wintored his
entire flock. which then numbered about
600 head. on less than seven tons of hay.
The Angora Is more hardy animal than
a sheep, is free from disease and be-
ing far more intelligent is easier ham
died. The increase is very strong, Mr..
Brannin considering 80 per cent to 100
per cent an average annual yield.
From 1856 nannies 400 strong and
healthy kids were had last spring at the
Brannin ranch. The life Of the Angora is
two or three times that Of sheep-a con-
sideration IN estimating profit.

it is a good thing Of rapid development.
The Angora goat industry is being es-
tablished upon a permanent basis"
Aside from their worth as producers
of valua BILE fleece or mohair each year.
the Angora is of great value to the
owner Of lands growing up to brush,
for when confined in such locations they
are superior to any other means known
for clearing the land of brush and weeds.
The value Of the land thus cleared gives
an additional worth to the animals to
the one who owns the land.
In the government bulletin on Angora
goats recently issued by the bureau OF
animal industry of the department Of
agriculture at Washington, photographs
are shown that picture tract of brush
land before coating" and two years
later latter coating" the same tract is
shown as free from brush and growing

These pictures present actually condi-
tons as brought about on the farm of DR..
]. r. Standby at Platteville, Iowa. and
differ none from many other similar re-
suits that have been obtained in many
parts Of the country. In this the Angora
does more effective work than a man can
do and pays a handsome return to his
owner while he Is doing it.

animal for the Montana ranch owner

the chief OF the government inspection

sidered the most ideal meat food In the
world, for in his experience having to
pass upon large numbers Of Angoras
sold In the market he has said he has
yet to find and condemn q single dis
eased Angora.
Shipments to Kansas City or Chicago
command ready sale and at prices but
little, II any, below those prevailing for
mutton. One sale of Angoras last sea-
son topped the market at Kansas City
and brought more than the highest price
paid for mutton.
The hides or pelts Of slaughtered ami
mails are of far greater value than sheep
pelts and are in demand for rugs, trim
mings and in the manufacture of gloves
and book bindings.
MOhair Is extensively used in the man.
ufacture of pushes. dress goods and en-
tiers into many Of the so-called silk
fabrics that are SO popular. Mohair
plush is used almost exclusively in the
upholstering of railway and street car
seats owing to its great wearing quail
ties.
On this subject. Mr.. George F.. Thomp-
son of the bureau Of animal industry at
Washington. in a recent speech made at
Kansas CITY SAID: Inere Is no other
fibre which Is Of practical use that is
more beautiful than mohair. will not
even except silk. There Is a lustre in the
mohair upon the goats back which Is
never absent whatever form 1t takes or
however long 1t may be used. This lus-
tire added to the peculiar brilliant coll
ors which the dyes contribute. makes an
exceedingly beautiful piece Of goods.
"One Of the best features of mohair
goods is their durability. They have no
equal in this respect in the fibre world.
In some forms mohair seems to be inde-
street.-The by ordinary use. DR.. Davis,
the first importer of Angora goats,
states that he had worn socks made of
mohair six years and yet they were per-
fectly sound

good grades Of the homegrown mohair
The average annual clip is about four
POUNDS. although many animals shear
six to eight pounds. Full blood bucks
were shown at Kansas City this fall that
had sheared from u to Is pounds.
The present American consumption sof
mohadr is twice the amount now grown
in this country and is rapidly increasing.
On this subject a prominent Eastern
manufacturer, in recent letter to John
w. Fulton OF Helena, who has been
studying the conditions here for the An
CORA Industry and who contemplates
bringing flock of full blood Angoras to
the state next year, says:
I'VE, as well as other manufacturers.
do not pretend to make any great
amount OF goods that mohair enters into
for the reason that we cannot get the
stock we require and cannot depend ON
a supply. In conversation had with
one OF the large manufacturers who
uses mohair largely, he made the state-
ment that he could use at least 100000
pounds of domestic mohair of the better
grades II he could obtain 1t, but that
1t was impossible to get 1t; and he was
only one of the many large manufac.
turers In New England that could use
even larger amounts provided they could
get 1t. E
ITO sum it all up. why there is not
more OF It used Is because we cannot:
get 1t.
II know Of no business today but what
you can easily get all the raw stock you
might require. with the exception OF
mohair. believe IL your wool growers
would turn their attention to the rais-
ing Of good. grade OF Angora goats out
there in Montana they would find them
far more profitable than raising sheen.
with my experience for the past q
years as a manufacturer of wooden
goods can frankly say to your people
out In Montana they need not fear an
over-production of a good Grade of MOI
hair. The demand will at all times ex-
coed the supply"

sheep industry at its present state OF
development in Montana as a result of
the favorable climatic conditions here it
is quite evident and Of convincing proof
that Montana is a state where in sim.
liar industry and one that even may
more easily be established, may grow to
great proportions and be a means Of
employing large areas of now idle and
unused lands as well as many settled
and improved locations now occupied by
less profitable sheep. and thus mean
much to the state by developing here
new and important industry.

WING In a log cabin home at the
foot of the mountains near Marys-


- with his family Of 10 children. s.
8. Brannin, the owner Of a large number
Of Angora goats, is an interesting pioneer
in a new industry in Montana.
Coming here from his former home In
New Mexico several years ago and ex-
periencing many hardships ami losses
on the drive from the south, he made his
home amid the Marysville hills, and
there has done the work Of the pioneer
in an industry that promises much for
this state, and to he who doubts proudly
offers as evidence of Montana's ever
wonderful resources, the picture of his
happy family and Of his now large and
valuable flock of Angoras.
Montana is certainly good state for
the Angora goat. The climatic condi-
where the Angora has reached its great
est perfection and the range conditions
In Montana are particularly favorable
to the industry.
From a small beginning and patiently
breeding his animals from the common
and inexpensive goats of the Southwest
with full blood Angora bucks Mr.. Bran
min now has large and rapidly lncreas-
ing flock of Angoras that yield him lu-
crative annual revenue from the mohair,
meat and hide products produced. And
all accomplished on a very small orig
inal investment, comparatively none Of
which was Of necessity made in lands.
The Angora will accept a mountainous
range too poor or too unfavorably To-
Gated for cattle or sheep, and with an
inexpensive home ranch that will yield
even a small tonnage Of hay one may

THE sCHLEY COURT.

The Court of Inquiry to investigate
the conduct of Admiral w. S.
Schley met at the Washington Navy
Yard Thursday. A full account Of
the facts leading up to the investi-
cation is to be found on fourth page
in place Of Talmage's sermon. AID
miral Schley challenged the eligi-
bility of Admiral II. l.. Howison to
serve as member Of the court, al
leging that he was biased and had
expressed opinions on the merits of
the case.
Admiral Howison submitted q
written statement in reply to the
challenge, alleging that ne had NO
interest in the case except the good
of the service. Three witnesses were
introduced to prove that he had
made statements unfavorable to
Schley.
Admiral Dewey. president of the
court, and Admiral Benham, his as
sistant on the court, sustained
Admiral Schley's challenge, and
Admiral Hcwison was relieved from
further attendance on the court
The vacancy was filled by the sp-
pointment of Rear Admiral Francis
Monroe Ramsay. After the removal
of Howison the court adjourned to
meet again Monday but owing to
the Presidents death did not meet
until today (Friday).
Admiral Schley won the first
round of his match with the Navy
Department.
