HARVESTING KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS SEED.

In 1899 Ohio reported 35o,777 bush
eIsAof clover seed produced in that
state; in the same year Michigan
produced 68,744 bushels, Wisconsin
IS, 423 bushels and Missouri more
than 10000 bushels. In 1897, year
of large clover crops, 81o,341 BUSH
els were grown in Indiana alone.
In 1900 Illinois produced 1o3,4o1
bushels of timothy seed, valued at
S1ss, 1881, and 6O,649 bushels of Hun
garian and millet seed, worth $751;
no. The crop of timothy seed raised
in the state in 1900 was the smallest
for more than 90 years, the high
water mark for value, although not
for production, having been reached
in 1881, when the timothy seed crop
was worth more than $1,ooo,oo0. The
amount of timothy seed harvested in
Wisconsin in 1899 was 61,786 bushels;
while Missouri, in the same year,
produced 72,535 bushels, besides more
than 100000 pounds of unclassified
grass seed. In 1900 Missouri report
ed the amount of timothy seed ex-
ported as 2,976,64s pounds, and of
millet seed as 1851, 300 pounds in the
same year Iowa produced ia, ZOO, $50
pounds of timothy seed.
These figures serve to convey some
notion of the volume of the trade
in agricultural seeds in the United
States.
While most of the important seeds
can be produced throughout the
greater part of the United States,
yet there are centers where these
seeds are produced most abundantly
and most cheaply, and from these the
commercial supply is therefore large
~ drawn. Not only does the trade
look for sections in which, such
seeds can be most cheaply produced,
but also where those of the best
quality are to be had. Certain Sec
tions have the reputation in the
seed trade-whether well deserved or
not is in many cases still an open
auestionr-of producing the best

Angoraa.

Among stockmen it is notorious that
a great deal of meat that is sold for
prime mutton in st. Louis, Chicago,
Angora goat meat-just as good eat
ing and far more profitable to the
stockmen by reason of the greater
value of the fleece, mohair against
wool, says the Kansas City World.
The Angora goat-raising interest ID
steadily growing throughout the
United States. It's headquarters, that
is, the headquarters OF the American
Angora Goat Breeders association, are

Intyre is the secretary of this associa-
ton. Mr.. Mcintyre says:
There are $4,000 Angora goats in
the country to-day and the business is
growing fast. 1t has all been built up
since March Il, 1891, when our associa-
ton was formed. Tlsen, according to
government statistics, there were but
10000 Angora goats in the United
States. And not one registered. Now
I'VE have about 10000 registered.
Registered goats range in price
from $40 to SIS each. Some bucks go
from $25 to $500. Plain, unregistered
animals bring from $3.50 to SIS head.
1t pays to raise any kind, but just now,
at any rate from the stud standpoint,
it is more profitable toraise registered
stock.
"Angora goats do better than sheep
anywhere, but are especially better in
brush-coyered sections. They are far
harder than sheep.

Railroad interests. The Pennsylvania and the
Long Island Railroad WILL when their tunnels

Wall Street that they must naturally be in
