within short time, to be a topic Of
universal discussion, if not Of serious

ANGoRA GOATs AN A.Ip.

Angora goats should be of great help
to many farms. In what way? To
clean up the lane, to fertilize the land.
and to grow, incidentally and thirdly,
a nice crop OF "mohair" for profit.
These goats will eat or destroy all the
underbrush, weeds, and undesirable
growth on fields, that need such atten-
ton; and, as their fleece grows while
they work, they are q double-purpose
machine Of great utility. ~

on floor Of this kind has his toes
higher than his heels, and the contin-

horse is induced to bend his ksnees

evil is to reverse the conditions.

HOG RAISING ON THE FARM.

In choosing brood sows for the pro-
duction of pork, it is a very important
matter to select from prolific and
strong legs and good feet. The indi-
viduals selected should be rather
rangy, with straight back, a lbroad
and deep body. 1t is not a badNlan
to notice whether she has twelve de-
yeloped teats. Do not breed them be-
fore they are eight months old, but
feed them well before and after breed
ing so that they may become vigorous
and well developed.
The boar. as is usually said, is half
Of the herd; therefore, great care must
be exercised in his selection. In th9
first place, he should be full blood
sire of whatever breed he is choseh
so that he may correct any faults that
may obtain in the sows. Like the
sows, he should come of a prolific and
vigorous family, but should be more
correctly built than the sows. 1t is
well to have the boar about the same
age of the sOws.

between Manzanole and Fowler, COL,
on Oct. 80, 1908, had been found
guilty and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life.
The wreck was caused by three mis-
placed rails, throwing the train off the
track and thru the bridge, injuring
twenty-fiv passengers and Wreck1ng
the engine and several cars.
After the accident a careful ex-
animation was made showing that the
rails, instead of being twisted Gas
would have been the case had the
wreck resulted from ordinary causes)
were not bent at all. They We're
merely thrown to one side. The
spikes which had held the rails were
discovered on bank several yards
from the track. The clawbar used in
drawing the spikes was found under .
pile of ties 500 feet from the bridge

Officials Of the road came to the
conclusion that the rails had beer
loosened in order to wreck the trail

Hence the time is declared especially
