They ought to be kept, since it virtu-

in the way writer puts It In an ex-
change. The farmer will shake his head
and say they must be fed in winter. That
is true. But they only require to be fed
when the ground is covered, and when so
fed they only consume three or four
pounds of dry feed per day. In the sum-
mer they not only pick their living with
out cost, but they labor through all the
summer season for the well-being of the
farm. The weeds that one sheep will con-
sumo in the summer are about as many
or more than the average farm boy can
be persuaded to destroy in single sea-
son. In a certain sense, therefore, small

They ought to be kept to supply the
farmer with meat during the warm

Senator Bailey, straight as an arrow and
with his stalwart shoulders thrown we'll

marble room floor surrounded by a party
of friends who had called to discuss some
official matter with him. AS soon as he
caught sight of Senator Hanna crossing
the room in his great hurry, he left off the
official tone in his voice and greeted the
Ohio senator in a friendly manner.
Whats your hurry?" asked the Texan
when Senator Hanna had joined the party.

WITH THE EXCHANGES.
Selling Ansora Meat.

The action taken by the Angora Goat
Association, in which II urges all raisers
OF that breed Of the "blllies and nannies'
to insist upon placing Angora meat on the
market under the name Of "Angora VEN
ison," is proper and commendable. That
much Of the meat Of the Angora finds
it's way to the market as mutton every
body knows who has watched the sale OF
large numbers of the long-haired animals
at the stock yards over the country. That
such a sale Is not fair to purchaser is
plain, the fact Of the quality of the meat
not entering into the affair at all-it being
enough that the man who asks and pays
for mutton has the right TO the assurance
that he is receiving mutton.
There is one view Of the question which
IS encouraging aside from the moral as
pect, says Farmers Voice. That is that
the ultimate result Of the action taken
by the association must be to the benefit
Of the raisers OF the Angora goat There
IS now a prejudice against the meat and
this prejudice will last so long as the
merits Of the meat are unknown. The only
way to bring the meat fairly to public at
tention and to have the public decide
whether IL will have the meat or no is
TO put Il out on it's own merits and under
its own name. Those who are familiar
with the meat say II Is fine Favored and

soon.
The Angora goat is an animal OF clean
ly habit; roots and herbs for its chief
diet, and there is no reason known why
II should not produce a meat quite as
satisfactory as TIT Of the sheep. The
step now taken by the Angora Goat Asso-
citation gives promise OF developing its
future possibilities on the block.

UNCLE LON LIVINGSTON
AS A SHAD EATER

WASHINGTON. April 19.-Representa-
tive Livingston. Of Georgia, is a regular
patron of the restaurant in the basement
of the capitol. Every day promptly at ]
o'clock he leaves his desk in the house
Of representatives and wends his way
through the corridor to the elevator de-
scends to the lower floor and soon appears
in the dining room. smiling blandly, while
an expectant and altogether satisfactory
expression beams through his great round
glasses and lights up the place as he
walks over to his favorite corner, where
Georgia darky is bowling and scraping in
polite anxiety to have the congressman
seated at his table.
Congressman Livingston never looks at
the bill of fare to see what new good
things are in the restaurant larder. He
always has his mind made up on what to
eat. In truth, he settled that vexed ques-
ton during the second year Of his con-
gressional career, he says, which is some
thing like several years ago.
''Shad fried in batter is his invariable
order in the spring time.
Whats the use of eating beef when
shad are in the market?" he asked a COM
pany of friends who we're dining with him
the other day. Beef, beef. beef! I've
heard the name so much I'm sick and tired
of 1t. Cline shad every time. from the first
of March 10 the last Of May, if they stay
that long"
''Shad are all right enough. but they
have so many bones" complained Con-
gresham Adamson, who was one OF the
party at the table.
Bones! Who minds bones in shadT'
demanded Colonel Livingston. Here I've
been eating shad for all these years, and
never a bone has troubled me for min
ute"
About that time the waiter arrived with
a huge piece of shad, which he deposited
before the colonel with all the grace OF
an ante-bellum slave serving his master.
Talk about bones in a shad!" laughed
the colonel as he sliced OF a mouthfuL
Anybody who can't eat shad without
swallowing the bones ought not to be IN
cong"
But here he abruptly halted. tiny. mex
ible bone had hidden itself snugly away in
the mouthful and the colonel had swal-
lowed IL. He got red in the face when II
tickled his throat. He didn't dare to cough
lest his companions see his predicament
and laugh at him for Boosting. A glass OF
water was near at hand. He snatched II
and drained the contents. 1t increased MS
intense desire to loosen up that bone with
a good, hearty cough. At last he couidnt
hide his misery any longer.
''Whee-ee-ei Whoofr' he groaned.
'swhoof! Whee-ee-eF' sr
whats the matter, Lon?" demanded
Mr.. Adamson, pretending to be Ignorant
of the cause of his colleagues discomfort.

ter on himl"
''Whee-ee-ei Hold on-bone-whoofl-in
my-throatr' gasped Colonel Livingston.
throwing up his hands in despair. Vince
ee-e!'
With the confession came relief, where
upon. with much signing and many tear
full and appealing glances at his compan-
ions the colonel slowly regained his COM
posure and his then natural voice.
You can always tell a statesman by the
way he eats shad," he exclaimed quickly
before any of the others had chance to
get in a shot at him. He gets choked

ed philanthropy which has Rugged this
one fetch to it's bosom had broadened it's
scope to the plan along which this or
ganization is now working. There has
been an involuntary and a natural senti
ment of self-preservation in the idea that
If well-intended liberality bestowed from
distance would embrace only one
branch of the great problem confronting
our people, the other branch must be sus-
tanned and nourished by the doubled ac-
tivity of it's own efforts.
Insofar as this movement disregards
the color line, it calls for the united sup
port and sympathy of all our people, and
IL will get it. That it already has both is
demonstrated in the tribute paid to the
work in hand by the spresence of this
typically representative gathering of
shoulder to shoulder in the effort to
strike the shackles of iIliteracy wherever
and upon whomsoever found, and to place
in the hands of black and white alike the
torch of universal education.
The work of the people of Georgia in
behalf of the education of its masses
speaks for itself. If It is not yet up to
the ideal standard of popular demand, it
is because there has not yet been time to
make 1t so. Our people know as we'll as
those of any other state that every human
mind is the better for being educated,
and they are working to that end.
In this day of trusts and combines let
the work of this conference be to, improve
the opportunity to organize the biggest
and most comprehensive trust yet at
tempted-an educational trust, in which
every child will be a stockholder and ev-
cry human head will be a share of stock.
When you do this you will have inaugu-
rated a movement beside which will be
insignificant the combines which have cor
nered both the land and the ocean. and
which levy tribute on every mOrsel of
food which enters the mouths of the hun
CRY. There will be created in such COM
bination a storehouse of energy, backed
by riches greater than Golconda's, and
which can be made to unfold to the eager
world the priceless resources locked in the
fertile bosom of the wealthiest undevel-
oped territory of Gods green earth-an
energy which will harness our rivers,
start to pulsating as never before the
beating arteries of our commerce.; create
new factories, inspire new enterprises.
transform idleness into industry and touch
with the magic wand of knowledge the
source from which will spring an over
flowing fountain Of peace, contentment
and prosperity.

the fowls free access to them. A good plan
is TO have two yards nicely fenced with
Melted wire, and while the poultry are

In this way the poultry runs are never
allowed to become filthy and liable to
