than it is to-day, Angora meat win
take it's place and give to both the
rich and poor epicure taste of
meat which, to the writer, is indis-
tinguishable from that of the deer.
The Angora is not destined to kill
the wool industry of the world, for
the warmth of the sleeps fleece will
be always sought by all manner of
people in the temperate and frigid
zones. His mission is to supply mo-
hair for the manufacturing of deli
cate fabrics and to clear the brush
from off large and small tracts of land
extending more or less from Maine to
California.
At the second annual sale of An
CORA goats recently held at Kansas
City, the Champion buck of the
show was bought for the record
breaking price of $1,O5O. He is a
notably fine animal, and experts con-
slider that he is worth the price.

What an Easter Sunday that was in
Arbutus! There was scarcely room in
the homely little hostelry for the
throng who had gathered from far
and near. Every house in the village
had it's guests, men and women to
whom the memories of childhood were
sweet, and they brought their boys
and girls, eager to see father and
mothers old home. Easter was late
that year, and spring was forward.
The naples along the street had flung
out blood red tassels, and the lilac
bushes sported tiny green tufts. Ev-
cry dooryard was gay with hyacinths
and tulips and daffodils. Even in the
dark woods, which clothed the noun
tain side, there were outbursts of
golden green willow and snowy shad
blossom. The sweetness of spring and
the peace bequeathed by Christ to
earth filled the church as radiantly as
the sunshine itself. There seemed to
be new JOY in the very peal of the
bells, and one felt the glory of the res
direction in the music that echoed and
reechoed within the walls. A famous
organist who was once barefoot boy
in the village had found a substitute to
fill his place in a New York church. He
was putting his heart and the inner
most thought of it into the music that
breathed the soul of the Easter time.

Good Horses for Farmers.

Why nine-tenths of our American
farmers do not take more pride and
interest in nice teams and horses is
a mystery to me, says well-known
writer. We have plenty of good feed
and plenty of good stations and all
that is lacking is an eye for beauty
and a hand to mold it. / do not like
mixed breeding. If man wants to
raise horse or team of horses let him
first select a good sound brood mare
of the type he wants to breed. Let
her be sound and suitable or she is
not fit to breed from. Then a sire
should be selected. 1t should be one
of the same type as the brood mare
and if one is deficient in any point the
other must be double in quality cor

THE USEFUL ANGoRA.
HIS Mission Is to supply MOhair for
the Manufacture OF Delicate
Dress Fabrics

Unlike that of the Belgian hare, the
Angora goat business cannot be-
called fad, for the reason that the
animal in question is, and has been
for long, long years, an animal of
utility, and viii continue to be an an
lmal of utility just as long as mohair
is imported into this country or ex-
ported from it, as it is most assured
ly bound to be some day, says Shep-

no doubt take his stand with cattle,
sheep and hogs in feeding the ever

TALK ABOUT HORSES.
Raising of High-C1ass stock Depends
Largely on Climate and eseOIOE-
zeal Conditions.

Those states which have rolling
lands, with large amounts of lime
stone in their soils, with short, sweet
grasses and pure water, are the ones
which have led in the production of
high class horses. The Morgan FAM
lily was a natural product of Ver-
mont, and the sound feet, clean bone,
and excellent lungs were the sure
result of the natural conditions UNI
der which this family of the horse
were raised. 1t required good feet
to travel over the hard stony soil,
and good lungs to travel all day up
and down these steep hills. These
conditions eliminated all animals of
too great weight, with soft bone, or
poor feet, and by the law of natural
selection they became extinct in that
state through discrimination against
them in breeding and expectation.
It is the same with the American
trotter and the thoroughbred. New
York and Kentucky have been rec
oonized as the natural home of the
trotter, and Kentucky and Tennessee
as that of the thoroughbred. Nat
ural conditions had more to do with
this than the enterprise of breeders,
for as much enterprise can be found
among breeds in other states. We
should never select horses raised on
fat lowlands, even if they had great
err growth and weight than those
raised under the conditions referred
to above. Horses raised on corn land
in the prairie states, and fed largely
on corn, may show well in the rlng'
but they will never have the STAN
ina and usefulness, either for work
or in the stud, as those on lime
stone soils, with blue grass pastures
and oats as their usual food.-Mich-
ipan Farmer.

Trying to Corral Nitrogen.

The scientists, for the nourlshment
of plant life, have tried to get nitro
gen in a form easily assimilable as
plant food from the atmosphere at a
very cheap rate, and employ 1T for
making the soil more fertile. Now, it
is reported from Paris that Prof. lie
Bon, the well-known scientist, has
made discovery, which is expected to
revolutionize the chemical science of
the world. By new method of resolv-
ing water into it's component parts, he
claims to be able to procure indefinite
quantities of hydrogen and oxygen at
an insignificant expense, while the
very process itself creates an energy,
which can be substituted for oxidation
of zinc in making electricity.

A lesson in the wisest political econ

Roman roads. They were so planned
and constructed that even to-day their

Of those who first trod upon them
even the dust has crumbled into moth

GRANGE came spicy, delicious sweet
ness from long wreaths that swept
from pillar to pillar. They were woven
from the green of the cedar and rosy
mayfowers, from which somebody had
called the village Arbutus.
The Easter service was a beautiful
and solemn one. A gray-haired rector,
who preached the first sermon in the
new church, aided the young pastor
After the doXology had been sung
there was a short after service, in
formal and memorable. The old rec
tors voice came brokenly, most of all
when he led to the place of honor in
the choir an old, snowy-haired woman
with the eager flush of youth in her
face. "Mrs. Truitt," he said to the
congregation, "whom few of my
people will remember. Hers was the
sweetest voice that led the choir at
our first service. Again she will sing
for us the hymn we listened to that
Easter morning fifty years ago"
There was a solemn hush in the
little church and all eyes
turned to the old lady, dressed
in delicate gray, who held a hymn
book in her trembling hands. The
notes of the great organ swelled in
splendid prelude, then they changed
to simple thread of music, the har-
mony of an old hymn tune. A quaver-
ing voice took up the melody; it sound
ed old-fashioned and the words came
haltingly, but the famous organist
waited humbly on the trembling voice.
1t gained strength line by line, and
presently there returned something
of the sweetness and strength of
youth. The congregation held its
breath; there was almost note of
triumph as she sang:
ITO this temple, where we call Thee.
Come. o Lord of Hosts, to-day;
With Thy wonted loving kindness.
Hear Thy servants. they pray;
And Thy fullest bepedction
