INFORMATION CONCERNING THE AN

400, 900 Angora goats in the United
States, and that our annual prOduc-
ton of mohair is about 1000, 600
pounds. Although very little has
been said or written about Angora
goats during the last forty years,
they have been extensively bred in
the Western States and Territories,
especially in Texas, New Mexico,
Nevada, Florida, California, and
Oregon.
Investigations prove that they r
not only classed among the most use
ful of the domestic animals, and
have been so classed for thousands
of years, but their usefulness is
manifested in various ways. The
fleece, called "mOhair," furnishes
some of the finest fabrics among
ladies' goods, and is used in various
other manufactures. Their habit of
browsing enables the farmers in a
wooded locality to use them to help
in subjugating the forest. Their
flesh i exceedingly delicate and
nutritious the milk, though not so
abundant as with the milch breed of
goats, is richer than cows milk;
their tanned skins, though inferior
in quality to the skins of the com
mon goat, are used for leather their

Progressive Farmer, as 1 consider it
the best all round farm paper that
we North Carolina farmers can take.
First, because it discusses the prob
lens and conditions of the soils and
the territory of our own State, there
by enabling US to better understand
what we most need at home. OF
course, there are other farm papers
published in other States, but they
treat of the soils and conditions in
their own States and we farmers in
this State cannot always adopt their
methods with Il certainty of good
results, for soils and climates differ
materially. For that reason we have
heard more than one farmer say that
newspaper farming would not pay.
They got their information out of
some paper that was foreign to our
own State. Second, because it is
clean and pure in all of it's printed

A POULTRY

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Fresh skinned milk is one of the
most valuable foods for laying hens.
It's liberal use not only answers as
drink, but also supplies to a liberal
degree the needs of the hen for ami
NAL food. Pullets fed with "a mix
ture of corn meal and wheat bran,
mixed with sweet SKINNED milk,
have continued to lay a liberal sup
ply of eggs throughout the winter.
Milk is also found to be one of the
best foods for little chicks, prOmot-
ing their health and rapid growth.
Coarse ground corn meal scalded
with milk seems to be a most perfect
food for them. When poultry and
eggs are worth more than twice as
much per pound as pork, it will GER
tainly pay to divert a portion of the
milk on dairy farms, usually going
to the pig trough, to the chicken pen
instead. I. T. 7.

HANDLING THE EGG OUTPUT.

How to do so With Most Profit in the Winter
Season.
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Well-intentioned people will every
now and then make serious mistakes.
The greed to make money will often
lead most of us into committing acts
of indiscretio2 that cost US dearly
sometimes. When acOld wave strikes
q large city the price of eggs jumps
up, and then every producer tries to
get his eggs to market while the
prices are high..It is just here where
indiscretiOn often comes in to cause
woe. They ship eggs without due
consideration that the cold spell is
apt to freeze eggs in transit, and by
the time they reach their destination
they are nearly ruined. Lots of
eggs are lost every year in this way.
Of cours frozen eggs have some
value-they are consumed by the
cheap trade but the returns to the
producer are inadequate.
have found as a rule that when
a cold spell comes the price of eggs
go up not only in the large cities, but
in the smaller towns nearer home.
The latter are often supplied with
eggs from the cities, and this source
of supply being suddenly cut off they
have to depend upon the supply
nearer home. Then it is that the
nearby producer has an advantage
which he should seize at once. Be-
fore shipping the eggs away to some
distant market make inquiries about
the home market, and see if they
cannot be sold at nearly as high
prices. Sales made near at home are
always better and more satisfactory
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-02-19

in the end, and one should always
keep an eye on the markets that can
be reached by wagon.
If shipped in cold weather, no mat
ter how mild the day may be, it is
always the part of good wisdom to
send by express or in car that will
prevent freezing. The loss of one
shipment through freezing would be
sufficient to take away the profits of
a dozen other shipments. We must
take the same precautiOn against
loss in handling eggs that the mer-
chant does who insures his merchan-
disc and stock against fire.
There is always a good deal of un
certainty in shipping eggs to distant
cities, and it is much better to sell
them to dealers who will take the
risk. There is always an immense
amount of stock on hand in cold
storage to meet any sudden demand,
and the spectators who hold these
eggs are right on the scene to take
every advantage of every favorable
turn. The small producer cannot
compete with them, and it Is wiser
to dispose of the eggs at a slight de-
crease and let somebody else take
the risk.

cubic centimeter or about 165 for
each drops.
3. None of above special precau-
lions we're taken. Ordinary farm
practice was used. This milk gave
1895 bacteria per cubic centimeter,
or for each Is drops.
The milk drawn as in No. L above
kept sweet 15 hours longer than that
drawn as in case No 2, the milk be-
ing kept under same conditions.
In another experiment it was
found that the first gush of milk
from teat contained $500 bacteria
per 16 drops, whereas the rest of the
milking gave only $50 bacteria per
16 drops.
In yet another experiment 1t was
shown that where an ordinary To-
inch faring pail was used TO hold
the milk the number of BACTERIA fall
ing into the milk pail each minute
while milking was going on was as
follows:
1. Cows udder not washed before
milking, 1000.
1. Cows udder washed just before
milking, 1880.
In other words, washing the udder
just before milking decreased the
bacteria falling into the milk, "a per
cent. In another test on COWS in
pasture-nOt stable-washing udder
decreased bacteria falling into milk
by SO per acre.
To secure pure, clean milk is not
difficult. The milk in the cows
udder is nominally sterile. The
passage of the teat usually contains
bacteria which are washed out with
the first gush. By d~iscarding this
first gush from teat, and maintaining
proper cleanness a milk entirely safe
if not wholly germ free can be OBJ
tanned.
1t is not too much to require
dairymen who sell ''pure Jersey
milk to take reasonable precau
lions to ensure cleanliness IN barns
and milk rooms.
In speaking of injurious bacteria
in the dairy, we promised to show
how to get rid of those causing Ger
tain abnormal lamentations. Nearly
all of these injurious bacteria belong
to the filth class. By giving the
COWS pure water to drink and by in
sisting upon the Wisconsin precau-
tions as to cleanness, before men
toned, there will be little danger of
these obnoxious bacteria getting Il
foot-hold in the dairy. Where they
are actually present in COW stable or
milk house they can be destroyed by
fumigating the premises with brim-
stone. GERALD MCCARTHY.

THINGS UNDER A

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t may not pay the farmer located
u long distance from market to at
tempt to raise anything under glass
except possibly a few d~elicacies for
the home table, but where there is a
market for winter green vegetables
or very early vegetables, a few
square yards of glass will more than
pay. l started out with only two
sash frames placed on the sunny or
south side of the barn, where l
planted early lettuce and radish seeds.
l would get these seeds in early, and
l would always have a crop before
any of my neighbOrs. Then 1 wanted
sashes for tomatoes and l built two
more. 1 raised my own tomato
plants and sold enough to my neigh
bors to more than pay for the sash
in one year. This proved so success
full that l have constantly added
more glass until l have quite an e
tensive acreage under glass at this
writing. By adding a little more
each successive year and doing all
the work at odd moments, the cost
seems small, and yet the results are
better than if the work was all done
at once. We learn from experience
then what can be raised under glass
at the best profit.
Located near a good town where
early and late vegetables are ap-
preciated, l find that glass pays. In
the cold frames | can start the seed
of nearly all spring vegetables weeks
ahead of others, and when thes1 are
transplanted to the field when others
T just putting in their seeds 1 am
pretty sure to have my crop from
one to three weeks head of all COM
petitOrs. l make it IL rule to try to
sell all of my crop before the rush
begins, and then turn my attention
to u later crop. In this way l in
variably secure the very highest
prices, and make from ten to fifty
per cent. more off a crop of vegetables
than those who depend upon late
field planting in the ordinary way. 1
make it "a business to let my custom
ers know that the first green vege-
tables of the season will come from
my farm, and in this way I invari-
ably receive advance orders, some
times enough almost to absorb all
that 1 have planted. Truck garden
ers near large cities make a speciality
of this work, and make money, but
1T IS not necessary to be located with
in a few miles of a metropolis to do

FOR WINTER READING.

Every Farmer Ought to Use the Winter
Months to Become a Better and More Pro-
oressive Farmer-Here are Some Books
That Will Help You.
Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
LII. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 3OOpages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest S1.25 to better adj
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. l..
H. Bailey's principles of Agricui-
ture." This is a work which tells
the ''whys and wherefores"-the
principles-of the business" of
farming. It is written by a man OF
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader Of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send us ST. 5 and geta copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.
A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to send Il
copy of this valuable work and "a
years subscription to The Progress
i've Farmer to any address for only
50. This offer is made at a sacrifice
in the hope of placing the work in
the hands of more of the thousands
who need it.
Fertilizers. By Edward w. Voor-
hees, Professor of Agriculture in
Rutgers College and Director of
the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton 335 pages. Price, 81.
This is the most interesting book
on the subject it has ever been our
pleasure to read. The whole matter
OF Fertilization is taken up and
treated in "a way that is lucid and
entertaining to any n at all inter
ested in the subject. Barnyard ma
nureS, green manuring and CONNER
cial fertilizers are treated, and the
result of many experiments with
each kind is given in detail.
Thousands of dollars are wasted
every year on fertilizers unsuited to
the land to which it is applied, which
money might be saved to the farm
ers by reading this book.
We will also send a copy of Fer
tilizers, " with The Progressive Far
mer one year for $1.S5. Or on the
two books we make this

MISS STONES CASE.

The case of Miss Ellen Stone ie
a particularly sad one, and one
that has enlisted the sympathy of
the whole American people.
This splendid young woman
went as stranger into a strange
land to teach the doctrine of the
lowly Nazarene. She was actively
engaged in the discharge of the
duties of her Master when she was
captured by band of Turks or
Bulgarian brigands and spirited
away to the mountains, where she
is being held for ransom of
$4,000. This money will be
paid before the government of the
United States takes any hand in
arranging about the punishment
of the brigands, but when the
young woman is within the realm
of safety again it is probable that
President Roosevelt will take the
matter up and meet ont justice TO
the kidnappers and secure the re-
turn of the ransom money.
The Birmingham News, discuss
ing this subject, says:
THAT the world should be
treated in this enlightened day
and generation to such a barba-
rious spectacle is astounding. The
affair is SO peculiar that Che only
way left open to relieve Miss Stone
seems to be to pay the price her
captors demand. But when this
is done the Turks and Bulgarians
should be made to sweat for such
a fragrant outrage. Bulgaria is
under the suzerainty of Turkey
and the United States will hold
the latter government responsible
for this outrage and will demand
very heavy indemnity and other
reparation. Turkey, of course,
will have to make satisfactory set
Element and it is likely that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who is man of
vigorous action, will brook 10 un-
due delay III the matter. !"
