HAS COME TO STAY.
Raising of Angora Goats Is Profit able, Not n Fad Like the
 Belgian Hare Craze.

Pads come and go because they lack that quality which gives thing per manence. At first the growing of Angora goats was designated a fad comparable with the Belgian hare fad, and it was freely predicted that the producer of mohair would soon go. But not so. The Angora has come to stay We wouldn't run farm without a small flock of these interesting animals. They are fast becoming very popular and we think rightly so, inasmuch as they are both useful and profitable.
 If the prejudice against goat meat were as stubborn as it is against the consumption of horse meat then we should despair of overcoming it, but the aversion to goat meat is not based upon it's alleged inferior quail ty as compared with mutton, but upon the slim fact that the goat "smells bad" We would ask if sheep "smell good?" The odor of the goat does not affect his flesh, but comes from the oil in his long hair. The leat of the goat is said to be just pod as mutton, and while we do emember of having sampled it ubt if one man in 100 can tell ference, although the entire would perhaps object to eat

ities and garrulity. It makes you mad to hear him tell the same story twice. You give him food he cannot masti- cate. You wish he was away. You wonder if he is going to live forever. He will be gone very soon. His steps are shorter and shorter. He is going to stop. But God has an account to settle with you on that subject. After awhile your eye will be dim, and your gait will halt, and the sound of the grinding will be low, and you will tell the same story twice, and your chil- dren will wonder if you will never be taken away. They called you father" once; now they call you the ''old man." If you live few years longer, they will call you the "old chap" What are those rough words with which your children are accosting you? They are the echo of the very words you used in the ear of your old father 40 years ago. What is that which you are trying to chew, but find it unmas- ticable, and your jaws ache, and you surrender the attempt? Perhaps it may be the gristle which you gave to your father for his breakfast 40 years ago.
