The AnEora Cont,

In some Of the western states they
are getting about as excited over the
Angora goat as they have been over the
Belgian hares. In fact, the goat is the
older excitement of the two, as first
i~mportations were made In 1S49 and
the next in 1866. when seven head
were brought to California. These
were from Turkey, and in 1893 and
1899 new blood was secured from
South Africa. The. fleece, or mohair,
Is second only to silk in fineness and
luster, and articles made from it are
more lasting than silk. Twice as much
of it was imported from Turkey and
South Africa last year as was produc-
ed In this country; also about 25,O0O,-
600 goatskins. The flesh is said to be
often sold as mutton, but more nearly
resembles venison in grain and favor,
with the fats distributed through the
meat instead Of placed OF the outside,
as with the sheep. The goats are much
priced as clearers of brush land. While
they are pretty anu useful animals we
do not hear of many Of them coming

EDITOR STOCK REVIEW:
Cattlemen blow the Sta tie quaran-

test the constitutionality Of the
State livestock sanitary law. The
San Angelo Standard says:
I'm conversation with a COW man,
one of The big dealers, recen thy, the
Standard man was told some inter
esting items about the quarantine
line.
Said he: "The national quaran-
tine line was established in order
to prevent southern cattle being
driven north during certain months
in the year when there is danger of
a spread Of fever that cattle below
the line r said to give them. l
don't know the cause Of the fever.
Some think it is due to ticks and
some think something else is the
cause of it..
aBut, be that as it may, the fever
only attacks cattle during warm
weather. During November, De-
cember aud January no injury could
result to cattle north of the line
from cattle south of the line being
diven north.
Il have never known any evil
effects to cattle north of the line as
the result of driving southern cattle
north during cod weather. Ticks
never fever cattle in cold weather
and, as they are driven north during
cold weather, the ticks fall off and
die. And it has never been showr
where cattle driven north from
November Is to January Is evel

"This refusal of al open season
rather seems to mt like legislation
in favor Of one class of citizens
against another. 1t looks like un-
just discrimination.
IF there is a. proof that there
was real danger of fever from the
ticks during the time pointed out it
would be different; but, as it is, l
don't think there is any sound reas-
on against an open season. l am in
favor of it, as are a great many
others, and I would like to see it
made a question in the next guber-

National Association in
session at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 4-The vanguard
Of the nations stockmen are on
hand for the meeting Of the Nation
al Stockgrowers' association, and
the delegates are arriving by every
train. The city is filled with stock
men, some of them from the feed
lot, some from the great breeding
farms, but more from the great
ranges of the far east. The interests
represented at this event aggregate
a capital or investment of over
81, 500, 900, 900. The Union Stock
Yards and the magnificent exhibit Of
liye stock form the two points OF
interest for the attending stockmen.
The live stock exhibit is perhaps
the finest and most extensive OF its
Kind ever gathered together for an
event of this kind in this country.
In no branch of the stock industry
are the benefits Of improved stock
used in breeding 0 apparent
than that shown among range cattle
on exhibition.
Less than ten years ago the cattle
shipped in to the great markets
from the ranges were all. ''long
horns" and they went directly to
The stock yards from the ranges to
be cut up into beef. These long
horns were surprisingly hardy. AS
cattlemen put it, they were the best
"hustlers" in the world. They
could live .'on air" and could stand
almost any kind of hardship and
privatlons. Also they were cheap,
and u loss of a few hundred head III
a blizzard did not mean much to the
owner OF ~, 900 when he could buy
others for from 50 TO $40 each.
They we're sent to market when
they were j. to year olds, and they
bl ought about' 81 or 4 cents a pound

on The western ranges are graded
