The modern hog is a very numerous

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 Ghey will take grass when
they can't get browse) some forage
must be provided for them. And in
addition, if they can have a wheat
field or ryefield to Craze overland
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 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 So much finer and more silky than
that of che common goat or sheep that
it commands higher price at all times.
A Good Investment.
The payment Of 81, $50 for the Ango-
ra buck Pasha Columbia would have
seemed waste of money to a novice,
says American Sheep Breeder, but to
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
during the years 1896 to 1899 only SO
per cent of the hogs lived.
PoIand-China Types.
The Poland 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 China breeders have given
most of their attention to the color
fad and the showyard type has driven
to the shambles thousands of those
.laputbv rnollou opd proIifio COWS tbat
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
day has been an advantage to the or
binary farmers who raise these hogs
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 litters 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 a 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
best results when fed with other feed
ing stuff that has larger percentage
of fiber, more protein and less of the
carbohydrates. 1t is not good con-
centrated food for young cattle or
hogs.

From Fridays Daily Argus.

From Fridays Daily Argus.
There has been more people in
Goldsboro to-day than on any occa-
sion since the last circuss come to
town. In this instance the attrac-
ton was not a circus, however. It
was the opening of the tobacco mar
ket, and never before in the history
of the market or the town..has there
| been such a crowd or as much to-
bacco IN the opening day. There has
been one constant stream of country
carts and wagons pouring into the
city from every accessible highway
from yesterday afternoon until late
this morning. The streets in front
of the warehouses are packed and
jammed with vehicles, some of
which possibly never rolled into
Goldsboro before. In the surging
crowds around the warehouse en-
frances are strange faces, who have
been attracted here by the fame of
the Goldsboro tobacco market, which
has been heralded throughout this
and adjoining counties from day to
day and week to week and month
to month and year to year by the
GoLDsBoRo WEEKLY ARGUS. It
is with pardonable pride and a high
degree OF qualification that we look
out upon the moving thrOngs to-day
and feel that these people came here
by the invitation so often extended
through the columns of the ARGUS
and by reason of the f1attering in
ducements which have been so often
held out throug these columns.
The ARGUS has often predicted
that loo, 600 pounds of tobacco would
be sold here at the opening break,
but no one, be he ever so enthusiast
tic ove the market, ever dreamed
that the sales to-day would amount
to at least a half-million pounds.
These fgures,as big as they sound,
will not cover the amount. A con-

IF THEY COULD RISE.

Mr.. EIkins, of West Virginia, says
that there will be a revision Of the
tariff in the near future, but, of
course, by its friends only. Yet it is
interesting to note that the Republi-
can Senator aud former Star Route
man seems to squint indefinitely and
indirectly at ultimate free trade. eff
it ever comes," he says, sit will be
through protection."
The fathers of the so-caIled Amer
lean policy thoroughly believed that.
It was a part of their purpose and
their hope. If they could rise from
their graves today they would doubt
less wonder very much that after
the lapse of nearly a hundred years
the nation is farther away from free
trade, and even from fair trade with
the rest of the world, than ever.
"When the time comes" adds
Mr.. Elkins, ''to compete with oul
neighbors on the other side Of the
