Facts About Goats.

Many people in some way have be-
come possessed of the opinion that the
goat Is practically a useless animal.
They do not reach conclusions upon
investigation, however, and do not dis
criminate between the different breeds.
To them a goat is "goat," and there
the argument ends. Investigation proves
that the Angora goats are not only
classed among the most useful of the
domestic animals, and have been so
classed for hundreds Of years, but their
usefulness Is manifested in a variety
of ways. The fleece, called mohair,
furnishes some of the finest fabrics
among various manufactures; their
habit Of browsing enables the farmer
in q wooded locality to use them to
help In cleaning away the forest; their
flesh is exceedingly delicate and nu-
tritious; the milk, though not so album
dant as with the mich breeds of goats,
is richer than cows milk; their tanned
skins, though inferior in quality to
the skins of the common goat, are used
for leather; their pelts make the neat
est of rugs and robes; they are excel
lent pets for children; few of them
in a flock of sheep are protection
from wolves and dogs; their manure Is
helpful to the grass which
follows them after they have cleaned
away the underbrush..
Their value in their own particular
sphere can not be too highly esti-
mated. We only wonder why this in
dustry has not developed more

cakes and fried things. My system
got into state Of general disorder
and It was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any degree
Of satisfaction. l tried different med

not seem able to correct the difficulty.
