Goats are not subject to disease like
sheep. but like all animals they are
subject to starvation, says Samuel
Dodds in Wool Market and Sheep.
Providence gave goat four stomachs,
and they were not given to him for
nothing. So in ATTITUDES where the
browse is cut off after the first few
frosts and where they have not access
to grass (they will take grass when
must be provided for them. And in
addition, if they can have a wheat
field or ryefield to Craze overland a
little grain for the pregnant does-along
toward spring, so much the better. 1t
is well to graduate them on to the dry
field instead of turning them suddenly
from green feed to dry. Any rough
ness that will do for other stock is
good enough for goats hay, wheat or
oat straw, corn fodder or pea hay.
Profit In Raising Angoras.
There is a large profit in raising An
CORA goats successfully. They are
sheared twice in a season in the west,
and the yield OF many of the animals
runs as high as nine pounds. The wool
is 30 much finer and more silky than.
that of she common goat or sheep that
it commands higher price at all times.
"A Good Investment.

the lady who bore him triumphantly
away to her New Mexico ranch and
herd of 800 Angoras there were future
dollars for every dime Of his cost.

Hog Cholera Investigations.
The work with swine diseases in
Iowa has not been entirely satisfacto-
ry. During 1899 21,OOO animals were
treated. OF this number 7O1a per cent
survived, while in nontreated herds

PoIand-China Types.
The Poland-C China, like all other
breeds of improved live stock, has by
the uncomfortable laws of nature been
compelled to make many changes dur.
ing the past score Of years. says D. R.
Perry in Breeders Gazette. The fact
that Poland-C China breeders have given
most of their attention to the color
fad and the showyard type has driven
to the shambles thousands of those
lengthy, mellow and prolific sows that
we're seen fifteen to eighteen years
ago. These sows were discarded be-
cause of their having two or three
white spots on body and because their
ears were little too heavy. l doubt
very much if the change from this
type of sow to the sow of the present
day has been an advantage to the or
for the number of pounds they can
make them attain. The SOW of today has
the fancy thin ear and is of the broad
and short, dumping variety and far
rows as often as the sow of previous
years, but in decidedly too many cases
her filters consist of twins and triplets
that are uneven in size and are apt to
be tramped on by the mother, as the
eyes of this breed have suffered much
in order to obtain showyard character
istics
The jowl has been bred larger and
heavier and has grown up as well as
down and covered the eyes. But do
not understand me that all families of
the breed are like those described.
There are families that have retained
all of the qualities of their ancestors
and have added some very desirable
points-viz, a nice straight front leg,
standing squarely upon short, straight
foot. The hind leg is set squarely un-
der tue center of each ham, and the
depth Of the hams, shoulders and sides
has been materially improved.
Rye as Food For pigs.
In Germany they tested rye as food
for pigs in comparison with barley.
In some cases the pigs refused it alto
gether, and when given in large
amounts it was not eaten readily. AS
a single ration it should not be con-
tinued long. and it ought in all cases to
be soaked or carefully ground. 1t gave

Ing stuff that has larger percentage
Of fiber, more protein and less Of the

If insurance companies from with
out the District seek this field for
permanent investments, it is fair to
suppose that the advantage to the
local company on the ground would
be even greater. This would be the
natural result, and as the city pro-
crosses, opportunities for making
larger and more profitable invest
ments will undoubtedly present them
selves.
Besides the inducements offered

A Needed Mission.

AS has sometimes been remarked. in
and if we are not organized to death
one of these days it will not be the
fault of The dear reformers. Consid-
ering the fact that there are about
999 societies for the reformation of
the world already on hand, it may not
be amiss to organize the thousandth,
which should be partly utilitarian in
its aims. 1t is hereby sugges\ that
a society be formed for putting ashes
on the sidewalks when the weather is
icy.
This is matter which should not
be left to private enterprise, for it
infallibly fails. The average citizen
carefully sprinkles with ashes, sand.
or the deceptive sawdust the sidewalk
in front of his own door, but he no
more thinks of sprinkling his neigh
boris walk than of spanking his neigh
boris children And, indeed, why should
he? If any philanthropic person
started on mission of that kind the
other people on his street would sim
ply sit back and let him attend to the
whole business, which would take too
much time. Organiza ton is what is
needed, and that soon.
1t may be argued that this is not
great moral reform. But il is. Any
body who will stand near a bit of
walk where the children have been
making slide. and listen to the re-
marks that are made as one person
after another literally strikes that
ness is caused by ice in the wrong |
place than by almost any other one |
thing. One may pillow through snow. !
and rubbers are fair protection |
against mud; but ice defies all precau-
tons. and all morality in the passer- |
by. However careful, however moral, |
he may be. he is liable to sit down |
suddenly and use the appropriate |
language
Let an association be formed which !
shall see to it that barrels of sand |
or ashes are spread over city side
walks every time ice forms N them. |
Thus will peace and good will be pre-
served.

Alaska's Golden Future.

At the Riggs is Mr. Charles d. Lane.

est individual gold miner in the world
His reputation in all matters connected
with the yellow metal is that of an ex-
pert of the highest rank Besides his
mines in California. he has extensive in
terests in the Alaskan fields, and is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of that
Territory as producer of the precious
metal.
In 1895. Mr.. Lane. though he had ne
silver mines, was about the most enthusi-
astic champion of William Jennings Bryan
In the country. So strong was his ardor
for that champion of the white metal that
he subscribed the large sum of 800, 600
TO the Democratic campaign fund. This
was in 1896. -Four years later Mr. Lane
did not see fit 10 duplicate his former gem
erous contribution. On the contrary, it is
not believed that he gave a cent in Bryan's
second campaign. Whether he had lost
MS affection for silver, or for Bryan, or
had cone to the conclusion that the gold

asserted here. Mr.. Lane is modest. un-

Even in the earlier years OF her reign
Queen Victoria was short and fat In those
DAYS she cared more about her personal

knew that decollete bodice was infinitely
more becoming TO her than nigh collar.
So deco!letage was the rule at court

bodice, blazing With jewels under her
mantle of velvet and ermine, and the
rumor has been running around that per

be given.
Many an elderly woman. clinging to

doubtful whether even the thinnest of the
