DoNT'S FOR GOAT BREEDERS.
A Few Practical Suggestions to
Those who Have Gone Into the
Angora Goat business.

Don't get too many goats to start
with, and if you want to stay in the
business don't buy wethers and does
mixed, if you can not keep them in
separate pastures. Don't breed your
does to a kid buck just because he is
cheap. Don't have your kids come at
all times in winter, April, or even
MAY, is soon enough. Don't think that
the little red lice which you find on
the goats are essential to good
growth of mohair, but dip the goats
in some reliable dip; it will knock
the lice and save the goats. Don't
think that because they are fond of
brush they will fatten when the
shadows of the bushes rest on them,
or when there are plenty of bushes
Just across the fence for them to look
at. Don't be afraid to change them
from one pasture to another; the
fresh feed won't hurt them bit.
Don't get mad if your hired man
leaves the orchard gate open; the
fruit trees won't hurt the goats.
Don't try to keep goats unless you
have perpendicular fences, which
should be at least three feet high, Of
any material. Don't believe the man
who tells you that goats are immune
regarding disease and vermin. Don't
be afraid to invest the price of ten
does, if necessary, in good buck, at
least yearling past, and after get
ting your new buck don't expect him
to rough it through in a new climate
and then shear heavy fleece. Don't
expect to raise a kid from every doe
if the pasture has an old sow or two
in it, as kids are fancy hog feed.
Don't expect your mohair to bring the
highest price if it is full of burrs and
straw, or if it is full of kemp. Don't
think because you have read a few
book on goats and handled them a
year or two that you can not learn
something new. Don't ask advice from
an experienced mag and then try
some theory of your own. Don't think
because they will eat all kinds of
rough feed that good, nutritious feed
will hurt them. Don't expect a breed
er of fine bucks who advertises at a
fixed price to make an exception of
you and give you rebate-better
send more than the regular price for
better goat. Don't expect any
breeder to tell you all about the bust
ness, and if he says he can don't be-
lieve him.-George A. Houck, in Amer
lean Angora.

Feed the table scraps TO the chick
ems rather than to the pigs,
The farmer should always give his
fowls a large run.
Exercise is much better than drugs
as a stimulant for egg production.
The best egg producers are not al
ways the best market fowls.
Ducks should have dry quarters at
night.
A breed usually has but one domi'
nate talent.
In majority Of cases the sooner a
sick hen is killed the better. 1t may
save the rest % the flock.
In building poultry houses remem-
Der the most important requisites are
light, ventilation and warmth.
Never breed from immature fowls,
no matter how handsome or perfect
in looks they may be,
10 not feed. too plentifully of soft
feed or the birds will sit and NOPE
after eating.
A growing chick, like growing
animal, requires plenty of wholesome
food, supplied plentifully and liberal
ly.
Dark feathers usually cover dark
skin, hence, dark colored chickens are
not popular as table fowls.
Watch out for lice.
To not let the chicks get wet.
Give fresh water twice day now.
Chicks raised in brooder must be
taught TO roost.
Bran and buttermili make a good
ration for laying hens.
Feed your fowls systematically and
regularly.
An occasional change of feed will
be relished by the fowls and will help
egg production.
Neither the Toulouse of Emblem
breed of geese require much care once
they get started.
1t often pays to kill and eat the
hens that are too fat, as often IT IS 4
long time before they get to laying
again.
When chickens are trained from
the start to stay in the orchard lhry

fectly contented to scratch III the
dust FOR worms and catch bugs ana
insects of every kind.

HERE AND THERE.

The manufacture of glucose alone
consumes about 10000, 900 bushels of
this country's great corn crop.
The profit of the Angora goat lies
III three things-his fleece of mohaIr,
his meat, and his clearing lands of all
kinds of brush, LrambIes, briers, etc.
The average yield of cotton in al
the foreign countries where it is
grown is about 5S pounds of lint cot
ton per acre.
AS many pounds per acre of rice
can be grown as Of wheat Rice sells
for about two and half times the
price of Wheat per pound.
The largest egg in the world,
which was found buried in sand in
Madagascar, is in the city of London.
1t measures a foot in length, ard n
yard in circumference, and is valued
at three hundred dollars.
There is no danger that the rice
market will be overstocked. We can
grow the pearly grain at less cost
than where labor costs only five cents
per day, This is because we work
with machinery.
Poultry authorities contend that
water, except for drinking, is not re-
quired for ducks. We have raised
ducks successfully exactly that way,
but had better success when the BIRDS
had free a, cess to a large reservoir.
The experiment stations are taxi
ing up poultry culture and from
thence we will get egg records and
other facts that will be entirely reli-
able. Private, unconfirmed records
do not count-merely fill up space in
the papers.
"A horse will live twice as long
without either dry food or water, as
with dry food without water. A horse
will live from 20 to rs days without
food but with plenty OF water.
The excessive drain upon the sup
ply of horses for military purposes in
the last few years has practically de-
pleted this country's number of good
horses and there exists to-day an ac-
: tual shortage which can not be made
good tor several years.

The Farm Home.

II is said that the Irish maidcns
have the finest compleNions ana
brightest eyes in the world, and the
reason for this is attributable not
alone to the climate, but to the Tree
out-of-door life they lead.
The woman on the farm has the
advantage of her city sister in that
she may spend more of her time out
in the open air. If she is in SYM
pathy with that spirit, now prevalent
for identifying the surroundings ~
the home, she will have plenty to do
in her spare moments, and at the
same time be taking the best tonic i'm
the world, that of fresh air and eNer-
else.
When our southern land yields such
beautiful wild vines as the honey
suckle, the Cherokee rose and the Nlr-
ginia crceper, it seems a pity that
there should ever be such a thing as
an ugly fence or building. With just
the least possible care they could be
transformed into thing of beauty.
Flowers require a great deal of at
tention, but if time is scarce there are
the hardy shrubs such as the lilac, the
SNOWFALL, the syringa, the bridal
wreath, and the crepe myrtle, which
can pretty much take care of them
selves after the planting. From ey-
cry window in the home there is the
possibility of a picture far more beau
tiful than ever came from the brush
of the greatest of the old masters,
while the delicate scent Of flowers can
add to the attraction of the adorn-
ment inside.
With the wealth of foliage we may
have in the south, there is little cN-
cuse for an ugly environments Let us
cultivate a love for the beautiful and
in so doing we are adding to our own
happiness as well as that of Others

There is better news Of Emilio Ag-

The dispatch announcing this is brief

threats Aguinaldo's captors wisely per-
mitted him to confer with his former
comrades, and to investigate for him
self the actual state of affairs in Luzon
and elsewhere. Apparently, in his jun
gle fights and in his remote hiding
places Agunaldo was not able TO keep
himself well informed concerning the
waning of the insurrection and the
progress Of pacifcation and establish
nent Of civil government. At Manila
he has seen a great light. And the
agreeable result is that ne voluntarily
takes the oath of allegiance to the

preme sovereignty over the Philippine
archipelago and renouncing all connec-
tion with the insurgents. In this he has
