Mr.. George B. Ellis of Columbia, Mo,
secretary of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, says that Angora goats as farm
hands are a success, and his statement
is backed by facts and figures, says
the Indiana Farmer. Experiments in
clearing farm lands of weeds and
shrubbery by goat grazing have been
conducted in many sections of Mis-
souri, during the last twelve months.
and from reports of results received
here it is evidence that much expense
can be saved by utilizing these animals
as farm laborers. Farmers and agri-
cultural authorities are giving this
question very serious consideration at
present and the experiments will he
continued on much larger scale. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated that
goats when pastured on lands oVerrun
with weeds and shrubbery will con-
sumo the obnoxious growth, eating to
the roots and suffer no i'll effects there
from. The experiments have proved
that goats of the Angora breed do the
best work. The ground on which the
goats are pastured should be surround
ed by high wire fence. This is about
the only expense involved aside from
the cost of the herd. They require no
attention while at work. In Speaking

said:
1T seems that there is a splendid
opportunity in Missouri for men of
little or much capital to invest in this

and as fast as 1t is cleared of brush
and weeds set in grass and orchards.

much of it in old settled counties and
some in the southern part of the state,
that can be taken by homestead that
when once cleared of brush will pro-
duce as much grass or orchard fruits
as land that is now worth from $50 to
$50 per acre. The people are just ind
ing these things out, and a great de-
velopment may be expected in the goat
industry within the next few years,
with profitable results to those who
intelligently take up the business"

Soil moisture is an absolute necessity
for the growth of any kind of crop. To
secure this, then, is a prime desidera-
tum, says an exchange. How shall we
do it. do you ask? My answer is, al
ways bear in mind the fact that capil-
larry action, or movement of water in
the soil. is due to the tension of soil
particles and hence the particles must
he small to secure good results. This
is why well prepared, thoroughly pull
verified soils produce so much better
crops than half prepared lands. Mois-
ture may be retained in the soil even
during very dry weather, if sufficient
subsoiling, blowing, narrowing. Guilt
waiting, mulching and rolling be in
dulged in. The more severe the drought
may be the greater should be the
amount of blowing, narrowing, rolling,
etc. Subsoiling serves the double pur-
pose of preventing washing and OF al
fordng the roots of crops means of
penetrating deeper, thus increasing the
feeding area. Both spring and fall
subsoiling are of great advantage on
heavy, stiff land especially. For sub
soiling purposes, the pillow should run
as deep as practicable. being set
slightly lower each year until the top
soil is as much as eight inches deep at
least. Always bear in mind, too, that
lumpy or cloddy land cannot hold much
water because of incapacity to secure
capillary action of the soil particles.
For this reason. it is of the first i'm
portance to bear in mind that the land
should be neither too wet nor too dry
when plowed. Land should be harrow
ed well after blowing before the clods
get hard and difficult to pulverize.
Frequent narrowing of lands already
planted will check the loss of water.
Orchards would be UNNECESSARILY ben
Gifted by frequent narrowing till July
Is or later, especially young orchards.
would emphasize the Importance of
tilling the crops after every rain.
whether the fall be heavy or light. The
reason is apparent if we remember that
the objects of cultivation are to de-
stroy weeds and to arrest the formation
of surface crust This crust, if al
lowed to remain unbroken. favors the
capillary movement of water to the
surface of the ground, where it will
evaporate. Use the cultivator several
times between rains, if the intervals be
long. Much could be added regarding
the advantage in preventing the loss of
moisture by rolling. but l close with a
word of caution regarding the use of
a roller on clayey lands.

A QUEER CUSTOMER.

A dispatch to the Macon Telegraph
from Atlanta says: An old weather.
beaten specimen of humanity claiming
to be 116 years of age, and who says
that he has followed the life af a tramp
for over 100 years, was a visitor at the
Capitol to-day. He drove to the State
House in a wagon, and has as COM
panion an old woman of apparently
four score years of age. He said thu
he was hunting some one to marry
them, and wanted the Governor to per-
form the service. But the Governor
declined to act as he was too busily
employed, working upon his message
to the Legislature, and then the old
man called upon Judge Hart, to find
that the Attorney General was absent
from his office. While he was making
a tour of the big building the bride-to-
be remained in the wagon, brushing
flies off the old horse. The man SAID
that his name was DR.. Arnold Frazier
and that the woman who was anxious
to be his wife was Patsy Blalock. He
said that he was born in Lincoln coun-
ty, but left there when quite boy, and
had been travelling all over the coun-
try. The doctor claimed that he was
a doctor of divinity, as well as doctor
of medicine. He said that his father
was a full looded Indian and his
mother was Spanish. He claimed to be
able to cure ailments of every charac-
ter presenting Indian remedies used by
his brother, who was Choctaw, and
that in religious matters he was A
Hardshell Baptist preacher. Old Fra
zier said that when not practlcing
medicine he was practicing preaching,
and when not engaged at either would
do almost anything to secure dollar.
He left the Capitol about l o'clock on
a hunt for some one who would help
him out of his trouble.

While some sections of our country
are being deluged with rain other sec
tons are being almost ruined by the
lack of it. In the West, along the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers, vast
tracts of the best arabic land are un-
der water and in no condition to be
planted. The loss promises to run up
to many millions. On the other hand
over a large territory in the northeast
ern section of the country, no rains
worth mentioning has fallen in the past
two months and the condition of af-
fairs is very gloomy as the result.
Careful estimates of the Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture puts the loss OF
the New England farmers at $1OO0O,-
900 up to June 5. The hay and forage
crops are almost complete loss and
the loss on nearly all crops amounts
TO IS per cent.
The truck farmers were blowing up
their newly raised crops and getting
ready 10 plant again when rain does
come. The tobacco crop will also be
a failure. In Boston the price OF hay
advanced from SIS 10 $25 ton. There
will be little or no fruit.

LeguminOus Crops.

The value of the legumes seems to
be attracting more attention than ever
before. says the Epitomist. Farmers
from all parts of the country want to
learn more of their practical value
The farmers generally have long rec
ognized the value of crops to turn un-
der in order to improve the condition
of the soil, but they are slow to rec
ognize the difference between legumin-
Gus and non-leguminous crops. Non
leguminous crops add humus to the
soil and may be used to advantage to
hold fertilizer from teaching away
when sown as catch crops, but they
only prevent waste of available ferti-
lizer when thus used. They gather the
fertility from the soil and combine II
with carbon from the air, and when
turned under they give back what
fertility they took from the soil and
add only carbonaceous matter, which
forms vegetable humus. Leguminous
crops do all this and more. They have
the power, by means of microscopic
organisms called bacteria which at
tach themselves to the roots of this
class of plants. and form tuhercles on
the roots of the plants, of drawing free
nitrogen from the air and appropriat-
ing it to their use. The free but UNI

the use of succeeding crops. BY
growing legumes the soil becomes rich

also added to the soil which increases
its water holding capacity and also
makes the soil easier to cultivate. In
order to get the benefit of this nitro

The horticultural field seems to be
an exceptionally good one for fakes,
says the Farmers Review. The rea-
son probably is that the field is very
large one and does not have to be
worked by the sharper second time
to prove remunerative. We are con-
stantly hearing of most remarkable
things in this line. The old fraud of
selling peach trees budded onto ma
pie TO make them hardy yielded its
profits long ago, but it has been fol-
lowed by other frauds little less re-
markable. Just now the sellers of nut
bearing trees seem to have good
deal of trouble in this way. Nut trees
require many years to reach maturity
sufficiently to bear nuts and the sharp
er knows that if he sells a subs titute
for a good tree he will escape discov-
cry for many years, when he may be
beyond the reach Of his victims. One
fraud being worked on the purchasers
of nut trees is the declaration of the
sellers that they have a chemical in
which the nuts were soaked before
planting, and that the resultant tree
is forever free from the attacks of
all insects and fungous diseases. Hick-
DRY trees are in some cases sold for pc
can trees. Pig-nut trees are also palm
ed off for pecan trees, though they are,
OF course, worthless Tor nut-DearlnS.
Another trick is said to be the selling
of Seeding pecan trees for budded
trees. The tree sends up the bud as
a substitute for the top it lost, and
then the trees are dug up and delivered
to the customers, who think they see
proofs of the budding operation. One
of the great frauds is the delivery by
nursery companies of plants and trees
not true to nature If orders are re-
ceived for varieties that have been sold
out, they do not hesitate to fill the or
ders with something else, but make no
mention of the fact to the purchaser
Even firms that are called reputable
do this 1t is a serious matter and
