Angora goat raising has taken quite
rapid stride the past few years, and there
seems TO be an increased interest. When
the goats have their full fleece they look
very beautiful, and they are most attrac-
tive.
The raising of these beautiful and high
~ profitable animals is an industry which
is rapidly growing in many sections of
this country. 1t was fifty years ago that
the first imDortations were made to this
country from Angora. a province of Tur-
key Asia Minor. Since that time only
about four hundred Angora goats have
been brought into this country. which
has at the present time. more than $780,
600 head. The Angora thrives on noun
famous, rocky brush land They can be
compared with sheep from their general
similar appearance and their utility.
They live to an age doubble that of sheep.
They are shorn al the same time and in
the same manner as sheep. producing
from 2is to six pounds of mohair, accord
ing to the purity of the breed, the fleece
being worth from thirty to forty-five
cents per pound, with ready market.
Angora goats are not troubled by the
diseases of sheep, nor will they run from
a dog They do well in large 1ocks. and
do not scatter over a pasture like sheep
They are browsers and not grazers, and
run from good grass to get leaves ana
roots. They clean brush and briars from
land that it would cost the farmer from
s. to $40 per acre to clean up by hand.
and all the time keep after and clear the
land of leaves and wood. converting IL
into the richest kind of fertilizer.
They will stand any amount of cold. but
must be protected from rain and sleet.
open sheds facing the south are all the
shelter necessary. and the goats will seek
the shelter of their own accord If given
the opportunity They are not hard to
fence; they will not jump but are great
to climb or creep. Their great delight
would be to walk the top of stone wall.

wall would hold them perfectly

A bulletin of the Tennessee Experiment
Station says:
Two methods of sowing covneas nre

A bulletin of the Tennessee Experiment
Station says:
Two methods of sowing cowpeas pre-
sent themselves: First, broadcasting;
second, drilling. For hay we prefer to drill
eighteen to thirty inches apart. In this
way you can distribute the seed more
evenly and the peas are more inclined to
bunch, and consequently do not mat so
badly as when broadcasted When broad
casted they serve to smother out weeds
in a very effective manner. Whatever
method is followed, the aim should be TO
leave the land as level as possible after
seeding. This is very important, as it en-
ables the mower to cut closer, and the
hay will be cleaner. The amount of seed
used will vary from four quarts to two
bushels, depending on the method of SOW
ing practiced. We advise the use of plen-
ty of seed. We have known of many fail
ures and of some very poor crops which
resulted from stinginess in this particular.
1t is important to have the stems fine,
as this makes much better hay.
Cowpeas are ready to make into hay
when the lower leaves and pods show a
yellowish tinge. They may be used as a
soiling crop before this stage is reached.
If the crop is allowed to stand longer.
the leaves become brittle and the stems
hard and fibrous. AS a result, the latter
are less digestible, and not readily eaten,
while the loss of leaves or pods would
be particularly serious, as they are rich
est i'm protein.
When the right stage is reached for
hay making, we prefer to cut down a
considerable area and allow the peas TO
wilt in the sun. The next step is to rake
up and put in larke cocks from ten to
fifteen feet in diameter. The pea vines
oh loft to in
these cocks. If cooked when they are
rather green. it is generally necessary to
partly open the cocks once or twice and
let the surplus moisture evaporate. If
proper care is observed. there will be
little difficulty i'm fair weather in making
a first-class quality of hay. AS it may
take several days for curing, it is well
to use large hay caps to protect the cocks
These are preferably of paper and may
be secured at small cost. In case these
cannot be obtained. it will be well to
use a quantity of rough grass. straw or
hay to cover the cocks.
There are some who claim that cow
pea hay can be made in a simpler man.
ner namely. to cut the day, allow it to
partially wilt, and then draw ii to the
barn and store it in large bays 1t IS
there left to heat and cure, the great mass
having sufficient weight to exclude the air
on the principle of siage. There is some
danger, however, of fire fang, and even
of fire in the barn from spontaneous COM
hustion. as has been shown in several
well authenticated cases. The first meth
cd is preferred at this station. Cowpea
hay is not more difficult to make than
good clover hay where proper precautions
are observed.
The yield of cowpeas varies from 10000
to $500 pounds of green vines per acre,

CAPT. "InHNNN" BOSTON.

Atlanta Constitution: Capt. John n.
Boston of Company l. Forty-first Nolun-
teer Infantry. now serving in the Philip
pines. may be added to. the list of Geo.
gians to stand special examination for
regular army appointments, in the recog-
milton Of their splendid services. Capt.
Boston is q native OF Marietta and grad
uate OF the University of Georgia. He
has performed excellent service since go
ing with his regiment TO the Philippines.
and it is such as win doubtless merit at
tention and recognition at the hands Of
the War Department. His first service
during the war with Spain was as first
lieutenant of Company D. Second Geor-
gia. and he came into prominence through
having suppressed the riot in Tampa,
which at one time was seriously threaten
ing. His next service was with the For
ty-firSt Regiment in the Philippines. lie
was with the party which few months
ago went on the chase after Gen. Ale
jandrno and his band of rebels. on this
expedition Capt Boston personally cap
tured the Filipino lieutenant Appipanio
Camaya, who was sent to Manila. Short
~ afterward Capt. Boston had a hand
to-hand encounter with a Filipino soldier,
both discharging at each other the con-
tents of their reVolverS al a distance Of
twenty PAGES. Capt. Boston shot his man.
but the latter succeeded in making his
escape to friends. Capt. Boston's COM
mand has had much hard work to do in
suppressing the rebellion, and his services
will doubtless receive the attention which
they merit. 1t is thought that in all
proba bility he will remain in the Philip
pines, should he be given a regular APP
pointment and assigned to a command
1t is stated in the Monticello News, how
ever, that from recent letters received
from Capt. Boston, he has persistcntly de-
clined all offers of his superior officers
for recommendation to appointment in the
regular army.

the story as we get it the murder of Dan

pears that a hedge row divided their

time go over into the old mans corn
and trample it down. He was asked by
old man Daniel to desist but in pure de-
vilment he continued to trample the horse
on the hard working old mans crop The
next request angered the cruel fellow so
much that as the old man turned TO his
work Lit seized a hoe and struck him on
the back of the head, knocking him life
less. Then he rained blow after blow on
him, fractured his skull, broke his arm
in two or three places and left the old
negro unconscious and mutilated. The
wife of the old man was standing by but
dared not interfere except to beg for the
life of her husband. Dan died yesterday
morning. Lit Evans was captured and
lodged in jail here yesterday.
