Mango Or Itch Of Cattle.
Mango is a contagious disease and
will spread rapidly among cattle and
can be communicated from cattle to
horses and vice versa. The disease is
always caused by small mite that
lives either in or on the skin, depend
ing on the species. There are several
varieties Of mango mites, but mention
will be made only Of those that cause
the greatest amount of trouble to cat
tie and horses. There are two varieties
Of the mite affecting cattle-one that
lives on the surface of the skin (PsO-
roptes communis var bovis) and gen.
orally spreads over the greater portion
Of the body, while the other variety
(Symbiotes bowls is rare and is gen.
orally found at the base of the tail. but
through neglect may spread along the
back or down the thighs.
The effect Of these mango mites is to
produce an intense irritation Of the
skin by piercing it to obtain food. This
causes an intense itching. The cattle
rub great deal, and in many cases
the hair is completely removed from
portions of the body. Crusts and scabs
form on the body and in chronic cases
the skin becomes thickened, dry and
insensible. Both varieties of the mites
found upon cattle are large enough to
be seen with the naked eye, and one
can be certain whether it is mango or
not by scraping off some of the scales
and scabs and placing them on dark
paper in the sun. If the disease is.
mango or itch you will be able to see.
small objects moving on the paper Or
over the scabs.

GRANTS GOATS.
How He Has Increased the Size of
Kids While Breeding For Fleece,

The success of Mr. u. S. Grant in
making buck kids between four and
five months old weigh from fifty-fye
to seventy-fve pounds and doe kids of
the same age from forty-tive TO sixty
pounds strengthens our belief that it
will prove a comparatively easy matter
to increase the weight of Angoras,
says the Oregon Agriculturist. Mr..
Grant has not been breeding for size,
but for fleece of the best quality. He
has not been looking for large bucks,
but for bucks that have the best cover
ing Of mohair Of the best quality and
with the least possible kemp. The in
creased weight has come mainly from
good feeding. His goats received IN
usually good care and feed during the
fall, winter ana spring. The kids had
a good start before they were born and
have bad all that they could utilize to
good advantage since. The figures tell
the story of the result. There is no rea-
son to doubt the efficacy Of liberal
feeding in increasing the size of Angora
goats. 1t was generations of poor food
which dwarfed the Shetland and Ice
land ponies and the Indian ponies on
our plains, while the massive draft
breeds originated in the lowland coun-
tries Of Europe, where feed was am
pie. The small Merino sheep comes
from the poor pastures Of Spain and
the big mutton breeds from the rich
and abundant pastures of England.
The Angora goat in its original home
has for an unknown period of time
been living on scanty rations for the
greater part Of the year. When re-
moved to countries in which it's food
supplies are more abundant and more
regular it will, in accordance with the
nature of things, increase its size. 1t
will no doubt be found possible to has
ten the maturity of the Angora goat in
the same way that the maturity of
beef cattle has been accelerated. Both
Of these improvements are likely to
come about with little effort on the
part of breeders. The good care which
all ambitious breeders will give their
goats will of itself tend to bring about
both increase of size and fastened ma
turity. To keep the mohair improving
in quality and increasing in quantity
per goat are the problems which call
for the best work of which the breeder
is capable.
