The Angora Goat From a Practical
Point OF View.

The following from the Prairie
Farmer contains much valuable in
formation about the AngOra goat
industry. We have no doubt that they
can he proftably raised in many parts
of This state.
AngOra goats were first introduced
in this country in 1S49 by DIR. James
NJ. Davis. of Columbia. S. c. DR.
Davis had served the Sultan of Turkey
in an acceptable manner. and to show
the appreciation of Turkey fOr lis
services. DIR. Davis was presented
with nine pure Angora goats, seven
does and two bucks This was a rare
mark of favor, for it was forbidden
by royal edict for, AngOra goats TO ha
taken out of Turkey. From this small
beginning has, grown an. importanE

many important qualities. Reduced
to a question of ''DO they payE" the
question may be answered in the
affirmative with practically no onpos-
ing testimony. The adaptability Of
the animals is now so well established
that there remains no longer room FOR
the early criticism which questioned
the ACCESSIBILITY of removing the goats
from their native habitat.
Breeders of AngOra goats realize
that they must be able to derive from
their her:'S some source of profit pre-
viOusIy furnished by cattle, swine,
horses or sheep If AngOras failed to
add another means of deriving profit
from land they would fail to appeal
10 the practical and sensible farmer
who knows and understands the kind
cf live stock he already has on hand.
But 1trgOra goats have been found

An interest is manifested i'll them
at this time such as has never Derh
known before. and it * believed tnat
this interest will result in permanent
ly establishing an industry that viii
extend to every part of this country
There is now no state in the Union
where the AngOra goat is not found
In the vast regions of the Southwest
it has been found profitable and its
introduction was rapidly followed by
il very general desire to experiment
with the handsome. cleanly animals.
A wonderful impetus has been given
the AngOra goat industry by the eS-
tablishment of many new factories for
the making of mOhair fabrics i'm the
New England states. These factories
have been compelled to import more
than half the mOhair they require to
run their machines, and as the worlds
supply is limited, Europe having crea-

something of this nature when they

individual animal should be worked

Sary to repeat to this audience the
statement that the animal that returns

| Care should be taken to keep the
stable free from rotten or decaying
silage. nor should it be allowed to
remain in piles about the stable be-
fore feeding time any longer than is
absolutely necessary. The reason for
this is. that it is claimed that it
absorbs the OdOr. While a great many
complain about the Odor of silage get

To sum up. Il would repeat. build a
silo and fill it with good corn and
cowpeas. or sorghum and cOwpeas.
1t will help you through the season of
short pasture. and do it at the least
possible cost. The silO will enable
you to keep more stock on the same

method. If your silO is Il good one

serving the medicinal principles residing
in our indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants, such as he employs exclusively
in manufacturing his medicines.
Some of these medicinal roots have,
since DIR. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true of
Golden Seal root, which enters into
both the Doctors rGOlden Medical
Discovery and his vFavOrite Prescrip-

tons of this most valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From v Organic Medicines" by Grover
Coe, M. D., of New York, we extract
the following Concerning Hydrastis

as we have already stated, into the COM
position of both uGolden Medical Dis
coveryD and rFavorite Prescription"
Dr. Coe says: rHydrastis exercises an
especial influence over mucous sur

Upon the liver it acts with equal GER

Also in scrofula, glandular diseases
generally, cutaneOus eruptions, Indl-

doctor Coe continues: vHydrastis

fully employed in the cure of leucor-
rhCna. 1t is of singular efficacy when that
complaint is complicated with hepatic

the treatment of chronic arrangements
of the liver. 1t seems to exercise an
especial influence over the portal vein

Dr. zoe 1urtner says. we "ouiu

After reading the foregoing extracts
who can doubt the great efficacy, in
