growth.
For some time past nearly 2, 800 goats
have been housed on the farm at
Cedarville, and the change which they
have wrought in the appearance of the
land there during their brief stay has
been marvellous.
In discussing the possibilities of the
goat in this direction, Mr. Thompson,
who has recently written book upon
the subject, said that the one plant
established near Washington, in which
he is interested, would be the means of
retaining all the abandoned farms in
Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas
within the next few years. An
Angora goat has the digestive capa-
bilities of the ostrich, said Mr.
Thompson. He eats anything, and is
glad to get it, while the fondness which
he manifests for tangled thicket of
Overgrown brush would put to shame

dump. A short time ago paid visit
to the goat farm near here to see what

found most remarkable change in
the place. Brush had been actually
eaten off the face of the earth, and the
farm looked like the picture of Dutch
homestead in Holland.
The goats are protected there at
night under 300 feet of shed, while dur
ing the day they range the place,
usually on tours in search of food. All
of the unsightly brush customarily
met with on the average farm is absent.
1t has been eaten by the goats. Along
the fences and in the bottoms, where
underground grows most thickly, open
vistas uand clearings have taken the
place of the former masses of weeds
and bushes. The Government is inter
eSted in the breeding of the Angora
goat for one reaSOn-becauSe of its

HANNA TALKS OF TRUSTS.

Tend to Unsettie Business.

Washington Dec. Senator Hanna,
of Ohio, in discussing the trust ques-
ton at the Arlington, said it woull be
unwise for the Republicans to push
bill that would tend to unsettle- bust
ness. Senator Hanna saw a number of
his brother senators last night. Some
of these were Senators Kean, and Dry
den. of New Jersey; Alger. of Michigan;
Aldrich. of Rhode Island. Foster. of
Washington, and Beveridge, of Indiana
With some of them he merely exch;tng-
ed greetings. With Senator Kean ne
had long talk.
1T isn't time to discuss the trust
question: said Senator Hanna to Tri-
bune~ CORRESPONDENT. Il do not care to
talk about such matters in advance of
the publication of the presidents mess
age The shortness of the session makes
it doubtful about the passage of trust
legislation. Generally speaking,
should say it would be unwise TO try to
pass any bill that would tend to destroy
or sensibly diminish the great business
prosperity which we are now enjoying.

people that in my judgment we ought
to stand Pat on our present showing.
