Some Queer Cats in Maine.

Down in Maine they have some queer
cats. A Portland woman owns a striped
tabby that cries for hot water and is NOT
appeased until a saucer of water as hot
as any one could drink is poured out for
her. The cat has been drinking hot water
for six weeks and seems to thrive upon it.
How she acquired the habit no one knows.
A Biddeford man has n two-legged cat
that he raised from kitten. Tom is big
and has beautiful black Goa. but was
born without fore paws. On the right
shoulder a small bone protrudes and on
the left there is small stub The cat
walks erect and goes about with ease, not
seeming to mind his deformity.
A Bar Harbor cat fancier says there is
great profit in raising coon cats so-called
II one has good luck to help out tireTess
industry in caring for the animals, but
that it does not pay to attempt to raise
tnem on a large scale. Until year old
coon cats are very delicate and subject to
many diseases, such as pneumonia, fits,
spaSms, and dysentery, and more die than
survive Seal brown and pure white cats
are most priced, and the man who can
raise to maturity any considerable num-
ber OF these colors is sure of big profits.

MONEY IN GOATS.
The Angora Thriving in the Southwest


At the rate at which the Angora goat
is now securing a foothold in the West and
the Southwest. the time is not far distant
when the goat industry will take pre-,
cedence over the business of cattle and
sheep culture. Since 1919, when the first
Angora goats were brought to this coun
try by DIR. James b. Davis, of South
Carolina, who received them as present
from the Sultan of Turkey, the goat has
slowly but surely gained standing among
the industries of the West, until there art
now many more than a million goats in
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California
Idaho, Utah and Oregon.
StOckmen are awakening to the great
possibilities in the AngOra, and this at q
time when the profits of raising sheep and
cattle are on the decline. Almost every
region Of the West possesses the peculiar
requisites for attaining the best results il
raising Angora goats, and experts declare
that the conditions in the mountainous re
gions Of Arizona are almost identical with
those of the Province of ADgora, Turkey
The Summers are warm and dry and the
Winters cold and wet, conditions which
are conducive to the highest development
of the goat, in flesh and fleece.
So great is the confidence in the future
of the goat industry that large amount OF
capital is being put into goats by North
eTn SHeep SEONtTS. De'eId COiupdIlles
have been formed for the establishment OF
immense herds ON the mountain ranges
and in several instances in which sheep
have been excluded by the Department
of the Interior from the forest reserves
goats will be put in to Craze.
One company, headed by James E. Per
rim, formerly one of the largest sheep
owners in the West, has secured the Cook
range of 10000 acres in the Mogollon
Mountains and will put in $4,000 goats
next Winter. AS rapidly as he can Sc
cure the pure Angora stock he will add
to the herds, and he intends to increase
the company's land holdings until it has
200, 900 or more acres and a herd of more
than 100000 goats, by far the largest goat
ranch in the world.
Perrin has made extensive experiments
with the goats in the past FIVE years and
is confident of better results than he has
ever gained from the sheep business. The
mohair, or wool, is worth twice as much
as sheep wool, and the flesh is sweet,
cleanly and healthful. The goats can
browse and secure food in the rocky hills
where sheep will not venture, and they
are more hardy than sheep or cattle, being
better able to stand the extremes of heat
and cold.
The flesh Of the young Angora is in
many respects superior to lamb, and is in
demand in Kansas City, Chicago and New
York. In Kansas City, recently, lot of
Angoras brought % cents a head more
than any sheep on the market at that
time, and at no time has there been enough
goat flesh to supply the demand. The
Perrin Company intends to establish
dairy also

IL we persisted in our plans. and finally
| took the locket back to the Indian and
| told him that he could not have any cart
| ridges, and to go back to his camp. Our
communication with him had to be carried
on in the Indian sign language, inter
| kiowas and Comanches all understand
and talk Mexican. He did not seem to
understand word of English.
He started, riding slowly away, and
then Cronly, Harrison and 1 held hur-
ried consultation out OF Newman's hear
Ing. He, believing that we had given up
our plan to kill the Kiowa, had walked
forward to the lead wagon to give orders
to move on.
We quickly agreed on this plan:
We would call the Indian back, and
promise him the cartridges, which he
seemed so anxious to get. AS soon as he
came up near the wagons | would walk
up to him and pretend to want to trade
| for his horse, and get hold of the bride
near the bit, so as to hang onto the horse
and make sure that he did not get away
and go back to his camp. Cronly and Har-
rison were to step out from behind the
| wagon as soon as l gave the word and
shoot the Indian with a Sharp's rifle. IL
the first shot did not kill him, the other
was to finish the work, while | made sure
of the horse.
we came very near carrying TINS plan
out. l had got good hold of the Indian S
bridle-bit and was about to give the signal
to fire when Corp1 Newman, who had
caught onto our project, came running
back and took Cronly's rife away from
him. Seeing that our plan had been de
feated, released the Indians horse, and
the KiOwa, seeming now for the first time
to realize his danger, turned, and apply
ing his Quirt, was soon out OF our reach
on the back track to his camp.
/ sincerely believed that it was our duty
to kill that Indian, and il was such a
disappointment to me to see him riding
away unmolested that it almost made me
sick. / vented my anger on Newman,
and although he was my superior officer,
| cursed him for everything | could think
Of And when he threatened to report me
to Lieut. Bell, when we arrived at Pawnee
Fork, | told him if he made such threats
to me he would never get back to Paw
nee Fork; and although this was only
angry buster, he acted like he was afraid
would execute my threat, and seemed
very anxious to make friends with me
all the balance Of the trip.

down how foolishly l had acted, and how
very imprudent it would have been to have
endangered the lives of the whole party
by killing that Indian; but if / had been
permitted to do so l would certainly have
taken the risk.
| would have been reconciled to letting
the Kiowa go at the time, if | had known,
as | afterwards learned, that he was soon
to meet his richly deserved fate at the
hands of a more proper avenger. But Of

Sept. IT, 1S61-Sickness is increasing
to a great extent among the soldiers of
this camp, owing to indiscretion in eating
fruit and unwholesome pies and cakes,
purchased from peddlers.
A number may be seen walking about,
looking very weak and thin, entirely un-
able to perform any duty; consequently
they are already discouraged, and may be
heard lamenting that the mastering Off
Ger did not reject them. 1t is now too
late to reconsider; there is a line of SEN
tinels between them and their homes,
whose duty it is to keep the Yankee in as
well as to keep the Secessionist out.
Sept. 1S, 1S61-Camp life has now be-
come a regular routine of duties. First
in the morning is ''reveille," a beating of
drums at $50 to awaken the sleepers,
when the Orderly Sergeant goes to each
tent shouting Turn outi Fall into ranks?'
Each man jumps from his bed and falls
into line with his company. The Sergeant
calls the roll, each man present answer
ing to his name. If absent without leave,
he is punished by having to perform extra
duty.
After roll call each man takes his broom,
a bundle OF willows, and helps to sweep
the street of his own company. AT q
o'clock the drums beat the breakfast call,
when we form and march in two files to
the table. dividing on each side, each man
taking his place designated by a double

Orders having been received for our
company to join the regiment in Camp
Butter, near Springfield, ILL.,, we assembled
at the railroad station early on the morn
ing of Sept. 8, 1861.
All the town people and our friends
from the country were present TO bid us
"God-speed." The train ran many miles
before our eyes were clear from the eff
fects Of recent parting TO observe the pass
ing scenery; but at length our spirits rose,
under the inspiration Of rapidly-changing
scenes, and the novelty OF our mission,
which promised world of interesting ad-
ventures. Our enthusiasm was not al
lowed to cool, for at every station men,
women and children saluteG us with
cheers and waving of handkerchiefs De
catur was reached at nightfall, where our
cars were sidetracked for the night with
the seats for couches. We found little
use for beds, as the mischief of many, and
liquor in others, effectually prevented
sleeping by the few quietly disposed.
Sept 10. 1861-Morning found us
sleepy and impatient to proceed. At 10
O'Clock our cars were attached to the
Springfield train, and shortly after noon
We disembarked at Jimtown, a small sta.
ton, seven miles from the Capital. Form
Ing in line, we took up our march for
