ma, about Angoras, now TO
Pns'an't bcm and how much income
re i Ss expected, for instance il one
JUL srsd or one thousand dollars are
pndleu a+c. For a rough, brushy
@'es'eu' know of no better plan to
aD ! rTe%muncrative investment esrap,
r q .ton TO stock the range with
she" In all eases it pays best TO
nsoi"' = business of any kind in the
Ea at way. OF course, it depends IN
s'. arst place on the amount OF
Won wish to invest and on the
POney Of lind you have, and II you
St nroof fence; or if you do not
woi. inclose your land and have
an' in charge of a herder;
our vou want to keep them in a
rsoof PASTURE; or, If you want
On n.en only a small number without
N.Y. and without inclosed pasture.
,he last named manner a few grad,
arrora goats arc kept by a good
neople, mostly for meat n for
"n. chair. used in the family and
is,ans for a few neighbors. There
enaars 70 be no other animal SO well
s.od TO be a home pet or home
~rrtenonce as the Angora goat.
prrtbing on the place appears to
's.;der the Angora goat its friend
~ o~omnanion. Without the Angora
Iss society of the farm animals IS
Kissing one of its main and foremost
..n,hers, Every man, woman II
fSld is attracted to and delighted by
he noble appearance of these beauti-
EDI animals, and they really T too
Lrptty to be killed for meat. Where
thoy RIM loose around home without
Eainc berded and without being kept
h a pasture, and where they always
Ir,ov near home, and where they al
[uys come hcme at night, or rather
|nafore night, there they are raised
,booner than chickens, for they live
|or food that no other animal would
bat. A little salt about twice a week
h all they need. If kept in large
Rocks, however, it may sometimes IN
|tbe winter he necessary to feed a
|day or two, when snow or sleet is on
|,be bushes and herbs.
In reply to several letters | received
with last mail, l wish to say that the
money invested in the Angora goat
Industry will bring fully as much as il
Invested in good cattle or good sheep
and YOU have the advantage with the
|Angora goats that you need no valu'
able range, and that the goats will i'm.
prove the range for other stock
and that you can clear out al
The underground on your land with
cut expense, and that you soon car
have your land in shape for putting
in cultivation. All you shotld do is t.
lit the goats first clear out The
Tickets as high as they can reach ant
then cut the larger brush and small
trees about half in two ION the uppe'
side) and bend down the same sc tn
goats car reach it all. In this way tn
tall brush and young trees will b
growing out new leaves again for l
months or two years and then di
completely, and rot out, so you ca
plOw the land. This may look unrea
sOnable, but i is true. Some of you
readers ask for the exact amount O
income they could count on with Gel
iainty, if they invest any certai
amount of money. To all such ques
tons | wish to reply that the hes
way to get valuable information
any kind of business is to get pra'
teal experience! 1 know many me
who are getting along spIendidly ii
this world of hard trials) who hay
gone to work themselves at the kline
Of industry in which they succeede
and stayed at it, with energy and ell
durance until they "knew how" an
then they could employ others
work for them, and earn enough fo
themselves and their hired men {
renters. The only road to C b
gins with the A, b, C of the busine.
Or industry in which it deals, al
practical experience is it's foundatio
We could, however, set an examp
as to what can be done with a sma
Investment. A few days ago 1 T
turned from a trip to look at son
goats and | saw several focks. Nea
~ all OF the owners had commenc,
win only II very few, and in a fe
years they had raised a nice bunc
anu IN all cases they are so W,
pieased with their goats that it
nard to buy any goats at r%easonat
"sures' will start out again soc
anu give more exact particulars
various cases in which goat men 81
.eeueu or had bad luck, however t
vase may be. According to my c
psriehce you may invest any amou
VI money in common goats and A
soIa bucks and get plenty of suital
,anse o them, where you keep t
"Oi'es from killing your kids, and Y
.un make your invested money bri
,ou several hundred per cent. in a Fl
.'dis' l hope that none of yo
asauers Will try to go into the 4
sOfa goat industry before fixing
10y building a wolf-proof feI
unu the land on which they wa
to .r goats to stay, until they wa
Isna move them to another portion
INA they want to clear and
