CURED was to turn the goats out ana
that they would require no care, but
found that they need nearly the same
care as sheep do. His goats became
lousy, and had worms and he lost $50
of them the first winter. Then he be-
gan to study the goat and look up au-
tority on "goatology." He took the
remnant of his flock and dipped them
in tank filled with a preparation
that killed the lice, and then fed them
on another mixture that killed the
worms, and today his entire herd is in
perfect health and ready to bark an
other section" Mr.. Bayers says he can
now take herd Of goats and make
more money with them than with any
other kind of stock. The Mohair sells
readily at from 40 to go cents per
pound, and they shear from to 10
pounds apiece. The goats sell when fat
on the Chicago market just as readily
as sheep or hogs. They will more
than make their own living in clearing
land and are very rapid multipliers.
Mr.. Bayers says that his losses We're
entirely owing to neglect and ignor-
ance of the proper care of them, and
that he hasn't lost one this year and
has had no ailment whatever In the
herd.
THE WAY is STILL OPEN.
b. [Cedar Rapids Republican,
Thirty or forty years ago a boy was
driving an OK team, little ways north
of Cedar Rapids. He was very poor,
as boys were apt to be in thos days
He did not have father who could
supply him with spending money. His
misfortune, or rather lack of fortune,
was his good fortune. He got a job
with the Illinois Central driving spikes
In the ties. Then he went to Water
loo and learned biography. Tom Pot
ter of the 20" finally got his eye on
the young man. He has been going
forward ever since. He has now been
made second general manager OF the
whole Vanderbilt system of railroads
and will have 1000 trains a day under
his direction. He now earns one nun
dred times as much day as he did
when he began railroad work.
Mr.. w. C. Brown has had some good
,uok-the luck that comes from know
ing how to do the hard work OF the
oreat corporations. But there are other
hovs who can have the same kind OF
,uck. One way to get it is to pre-
nared for it-and to be faithful.
Mr.. Brown is an Iowa boy and he
,+iI PERSISTS In his dreaming of some
dav coming back to Iowa to end his
davs. He may get over that. They
oftan do in New York city, with wealth
al around them. But he is prepared
for the return. He has bought an ex-
+ans;ve farm near the town of Clar-
ioda ON the 90" and he makes it a
ao;n+ to spend few days in that
vicinity every summer.
