Stokes much credit for having the courage to ask Colonel Samuel
Dickinson for his resignation as Secretary of State when the
Colonel had failed to vindicate himself of the charges made
against him by Mayor Pagan. This, action on the part of the
Governor is referred to as a ''bold and heroic act" But what
about the Governors action in reapponhng Dickinson in the
face of not only Mayor Faganps charges, but of the notorious

until eight or nine at night, including
chores-15 to II hours of the hardest
kind of physical labor, and every min
ute Of 1t at high tension. especially
during harvest. Then comes period
of relaxation in the fall. the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in
health. Later. the winter season, ap-
preaching stagnation. in which he

furious debauch of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by As he has had a sun
stroke and cant stand the heat" or
has "a weak back or his heart gives
out" or chill makes him rheuma-
tic;" and when you add to this furious
muscular strain the fact that the far

RAISING GOATS.
More Than Two Million Of Them Now
In the United States.


In the United States.
In the United States there are at
present about 100000 goats. says
Richard Arthur, in the Circle Magazine
for February. Nearly two-fifths Of
these are Angoras. The rest are of
various imported breeds, crossbreeds.
and mongrel mixtures. Many Ameri-
can farmers keep a few goats with
their sheep, it being a well known fact
that dogs which are given to worry
ing sheep will not SO readily modest
flock containing a goat or two. The
climate and soil of most OF the states
OF the Union are well fitted for the
raising Of goats. and as goat costs
fer proper maintenance only about
one-eighth as much as cow, and
yields surprising number and amount
of products, there is little doubt that
competent goat-raising in this country,
especially in the vicinity of large
cities, would prove exceedingly remun-
erative. The chief things to be remem-
bered in this connection are that good
breeds are essential 10 success, and
that, although the goat will thrive al
post anywhere, and stand any amount
o. cold, it does best on dry land and
when kept reasonably warm.
