ANGORA GOATS IN TANEY.

This is the second day of the excur-
sion to Chadwick and another crowd
Of homeseekers went down to fancy

industry is the business which most
Of these newcomers have In mind.
Taney county is to become the ideal
home Of the climbing goat now popu-
lar throughout the country.
The Angora goat 10, by long adop-
tion to mountainous region, unable
to thrive properly In = smooth
country. Put tho goat on a rockies
prairie and its feet grow so long that
tho animal can hardly walk. 1t must
have q limestone ledge or cliff to
whet off these growing boots. The
goat does not need much food except
the buds and bark of bushes aud
small trees. With q good rock pile
and field Of sassafras sprouts the
Angora goat can get along without
corn or fodder. 1t will clean up q
briar patch or hazel thicket. when
pressed by hunger.
That is ono of the values of the
long haired goat-it makes the grub
bing hoe almost . useless farming
tool.
Mohair sella from 20 cents to 60
cents pound. A fleece of an Angora
goat yields from four to six pounds.
The fineness of the hair is the test OF
the value Of the fleece. In the higher
bred goats 5000 hairs can be laid side
by side iu the space Of au inch.
In Taney there are vast tracts oi
rough land that refuse to submit to
ordinary methods Of farming. On
these rocky sleeps aud bald knobs
the Angora goat will grow fat the
year round. 1t will be an easy life
for the goat-raiser. He can make
money without aewiug or respina
aud gathering into barns. for the
wild shrubbery of tho White river
