A Lasting Effect.
This Evidence Should Prove Every
Claim Made for Doan's Kidney
Pills.

Relief from the pains and aches of o
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure lame.
Cure it 80 it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove 1t:
Judge James Moreland, of 1918 West
Woodland street, Denison, Texas, says:
"Anyone who is annoyed with disorders
of the kidney secretions, particularly
frequent or irregular passages can de-
pend upon it his kidneys are either
weakened or over. excited. When this
condition fails to the use of ordinary
medicines of a diuretic nature, or those
which act directly on the kidneys, he
can be certain that it is high time to at
least check the cause or graver results
will ensue. Some time ago my kidneys
and the renal acre required a medicine
and l selected Doan's Kidney Pills,
after reading considerable about the
claims made for them. One box pro-
duced such marked results that I
bought second and third. The con-
tinued treatment brought such results
that unhesitatingly recommend the
remedy to my friends and fellow citi-
zens. When a medicine acts just as
represented, it should be made known
to every one 80 that they may know
how and when to use IL"

Exclusive coiers and Funshers Crawford Shoes for Men,
Death Bed Repentance.

One of the strangest things in this
world is that intelligent beings will de-
fer preparations for what all know is
inevitable-Death, and then often a
hasty profession is made and friends
and relatives cherish the hope that the
departed is at rest. The minister will
often make the impression that, like
the thief ON the cross, he is in Paradise.
Others will then say swell if he is
saved. after the life he has lived, there
is chance for me-" Is that dealing
faithfully with the souls of men? No!
No! And yet what can the poor minis
ter say? He cannot afford to say what
he really believes according to the word
of God or friends will be offended. He
must smooth things over as best he
can. That minister is to be pitied, and
it is position he shuns, if possible.
To seek salvation, the seeker should be
in his right mind, the dying is not, and
therefore likely to be mistaken. and Oh!
what fearful mistake. To late! To
late! L have been close observer OF
these things for years and have known
quite number profess Christianity
when they thought they were going to
die, but did not, and l never have
known single one to hold on to their
profession, and if they had died the
preacher would have said something
like this: "While we are here to pay
this last tribute of respect to the l1em-
DRY of our departed friend. his olsen.
bodied spirit is basking in the sunlight
of eternal iblessedness," and at the
same time the soul went to the bad as
straight as Jonah did to Niniva when the
whale turned him loose. Oh! how un.
wise it is to neglect the salvation of the
soul till dying hour. QUIZ. II

The Angora Goat Industry
BY ROBT E. JOHNS, secy. Carbon Cattle Company

States prior to 1900, we must not give
all the credit to Col Peters. DR.. Da-
Wis, VIM. M Landrum, G. P. Bailey
and John S. Harris we're largely in
strumental in introducing the Angora
to the country.
Before the outbreak of the civil war
there were many flocks in the south
and southwest. There were also
many smaller flocks in the northern
and western states. DR.. Deets, in 1868,
mentioned fiocks containing from 300
to 1000 and more in numbers of To-
calities. At the close of the war they
spread out toward the Pacific coast,
where the natural conditions were
more favorable and where they have
increased wonderfully in numbers and
Importance They may be found now
in every state and territory, including
Alaska and Porto Rico. There are
considerable number in Canada, where
they are doing well.
There is not the slightest doubt that
coating" brush land is the easiest
quickest and most profitable way of
clearing it. Goats are natural brOws-
ers, and there is nothing growing that
they will eat in preference to brush,
twigs, leaves, etc. They are greedy
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-09-15

eaters of weeds and ferns, but avoid
any other kind of feed which other
stock might prefer. Every leaf and
twig within their reach is greedily
eaten in preference to the finest grass
or clover
A patch of brushwoOd SO dense that
man could not force his way
through, will soon be converted into
an open wood lot, if Angoras were
turned into it. When they cannot
reach the leaves or branches of
tree, standing on their four feet, they
will stand on their hind feet and strip
a tree to the height of five or six
feet. They will also get astride a
small sapling and ride it down and
hold it there while it will be stripped
by as many goats as are able to get
at it. This will explain why so many
saplings are stripped higher than any
goat could possible reach. They also
like the bark of young trees, and will
eat ferns, thistles and evergreens.
They will also eat grass, if they can
not get brush.
There is no question but that the
Angora is the Washington rancher's
best friend, for in no other way can
he hope to clear his land of the dense
underground. While the goats are
making meadow land for him, they
are also paying him a profit. There
are thousands of acres of land in
Washington that might as well be

During President Folks administra-
ton the sultan of Turkey requested
him to send some one to Turkey who
would experiment in the culture OF
cotton. J. B. Davis, of Columbia, S..
c., was appointed, and his work ap-
peared so highly gratifying to the sui
tan that, upon his return to the United
States in 1849, the sultan presented
the president with nine of the best
goats in the country. The goats then
were known here as Cashmeres and
were so called until they had passed
to the ownership of Colonel Richard
Peters. From the nature of the hair,
everyone thought it was the same ma
terial of which the famous Paisley
shawls were made. President Polk,
upon the receipt of the Angoras, turn
ed them over to the secretary of agri-
culture, who, in time, gave them to
Colonel Peters, with the request that
he experiment with them and report
the results to the department of agri-
culture.
In 1856 the United States Agricul-
tural society, which held an exhibition
in Philadelphia, gave Col. Peters one
hundred dollars as a special reward.
The following report was made upon
