AHeORA GOATS.
As Farm Hands They Clear Weeds
and Brush BETTER Than Men
Would

COLUMBIA, Feb. 12.-Goats as farm
hands are q success, says George B. En-
lis. of Columbia, secretary OF the state
Board Of Agriculture, and his state
ment is backed by facts and figures
Experiments in clearing farm lands Of
weeds and s~hrubbery by goat grazing
have been conducted In many sections
Of the state during the last twelve
months and from reports received
here il Is evident that much expense
can be saved by utilizing these ami
mails as farm labOrers.
Farmers aud agricultural autnori-
ties are giving this question very ser
Ious consideration at present and the
experiments will be continued on a
much larger scale. IL has been clearly
demonstrated that goats, when pas
ftured on lands oyerrun with weeds
and shrubbery, will consume the OBJ
noxious growth, eating il TO the roots,
and suffer no III effects therefrnm.
The experiments have proved that
goats OF the Angora breed do the
best work.
The grounds on which the goats are
pastured should be surrounded by a
high wire fence. This is about the
only expense involved aside from the
Gust OF the head which requires no at
tention while at work. In speaking
iof the vast acres in Missouri rendered
useless by useless growths OF weeds
and s~hrubbery, Secretary Ellis said;
alt seems to me that there is 0 a
splendid opportunity in Missouri fol
men Of little or much capital to in
vest in this cheap brush land, stock It
with goats, and, as fast as il is cleared
of brush and weeds, set il in grass o.
orchards. There are thousands o.
acres. perhaps millions, Of this land ID
the State, much OF II in old settled
counties, some in the southern part
OF the State that car be taken b.
homestead that when once cleared o.
, brush will produce as much grass o
orchard fruits as land that is wortf
!, from $50 TO $50 per acre. The peopi'
J are just finding these things out, anC
a great development may be expected
ia the goat industry within the mex
few years with profitable results o
those who intelligently take up thI
business
The agricultural authorities herr
are receiving inquiries IN the subjec
from many sections Of the State, an'

j. Kelly Pool. Of the Centralia
Courier, does himself no credit and
Gov. Stone no good by his constant
abuse OF Champ Clark. He seems to
be utterly beside himself with rage,
which would appear TO be an evidence
that stones course TO the Senate, like
the course Of true love, is not running
smooth.
Nobody believes Pools charge that
| Clark ordered "a snap Congressional
Primary The truth is that the
Congressional Primary this year is
two weeks later than 1t was in 1895
That year IL was on April II. This
year it is about the usual time and
me@ notice was given-almost four
months. Why dosn't J. Kelly jump
on Judge ~Shackelfurd, his own Con-
gresham, in whose district a primary
was ordered for April 4 Or59 Why
dosen't he jump on Judge Cooney
whom he helped elect to Congress in
the old Seventh and in whose district
the new Seventh, a convention has
been called for March u, on about six
weeks notice? 1t would really appear
that Bro. Pool had better set hi;
own political household in order be
fore he undertakes to dictate to The
Ninth district.
Nor is it true, as he alleges, tina
MI. Clark objected to GoverOr Stone o.
anybody. else being voted for for Sena
tor in any county in the district. Whal
he did object 10, was the first anC
second choice trick in the county o
the district and he was right in so do
ing. 1t will be a cold day when TIL
Stone managers permit second choicI
in counties which they are sure Stonl
can carry.
Brother Pool will not help Cover
Ssoneis chances by jumping on NJ. r
X. Biggs, who is honored, respecteC
wherever he is known.
Another thing is pertinent here
Last summer Mr.. Clark happened II
Centralia. The next issue of tn
Courier contained a splendid notice 0
him, winding up with the declaration
that nothing except death can pre-
> vent his going to the Senate in tn
next ten years.
/, So Clark and Pool are agreed tina
, Clark ought 10 60 to the Senate. IT.
! merely a difference of dates. WI.
