THE ANGoRA GOAT.

The department at Washington has lately issued interesting data relative to the Angora goat. The industry has grown remarkably during the last five years, there being now in this country about 1,O00000 Angoras distributed over all the states and territories. While the largest focks are in Texas and New Mexico, the northwest also has large hocks of them. The Angoras seem to endure extremes of heat and cold and to thrive on all kinds of soil except wet land. As they are natural climbers and browsers, they seem to prefer rocky, brush covered lands. AL though the value of the Angora is con- siderable as a clearer of brush, it's chief value lies in its fleece. which is known as mohair and which is large ly used in the manufacture of plush. imitation astrakhan and mohair dress goods, commonly known as brillian- tines. In the year 1905 1,S96,9Io pounds of domestic mohair were used in the manufacture of the above goods in this country, and the price paid for the same was 2S cents per pound.

PLANT A WOOD LOT.

We would strongly advise every reader of these notes who has no tim Der lot and yet who is so situated that he could just as we'll have one as not to take up seriously next spring the project of setting out a five or ten acre lot. Whether viewed from the stand point of furnishing q fuel supply or logs from which lumber for the rough CT farm uses could be sawed. the argu- ment is sufficiently strong in either case to justify taxi lg action. For quick growing trees pc2bl ly the soft maple for fuel and the cottonwood for lumber could hardly be surpassed-this for the north central states. But i'll case you should live outside the territory u en- toned one can get most reliable and trustworthy advice regarding the best varieties of trees to plant from ones state experiment station. In any event, plant wood lot, for with the rapid increase in the price of fuel and lllln- Der supplies the time is not far when any kind of an old pole or stick will possess a value that cannot be sneczed at. h brief, there is no sneezing going on right now. Again, plant q wood lot; it's value will increase tremendous ly with each passing year.

THE CEMENT POST.

With post timber rapidly decreasing and the price of even the poorest posts fast soaring out of sight, the question of future post supply for the farm uses is vital one. Machines-but they are so simple as hardly to be worthy of the name-are now on the market or can be made easily by which posts of the right size and length can be cast from concrete. A wire stretched length wise through the center of the casting box and the soft cement poured around 1t gives a post that is both very solid as well as unbreakable and to all in- tents and purposes indestructible. Where supplies of sand are near at hand posts of the above kind can be made at cost of about A5 cents apiece or less. While this is about twice the cost of a good hardwood post. the ce- ment post is so much more substantial and durable that it is in the long run more economical. Where one has much fence building in prospect it will pay him to look the matter up thor oughly.

THE FAMILY GARDEN.

There are whole lot of families of from five to ten members in almost ev- cry community which are this winter paying good round prices for a medi- ocre quality of store canned stuff corn, peas, beans, canned fruit, pre- serves and jelles-that ought to be consuming homemade supplies of a good dcal better quality if the heal of the house had only got n move on him last spring and taken the necessary pains and done the slight amount of work necessary to provide for such home supply Where there are but two mouths to feed the item of expense referred to is net Il small one if such supplies are bought at the store. while if there are eight or ten in the family the bill is a very large one for the year through We know of q good many thrifty wives who look after this matter, but such time as the husband can spare should be given ungrulg- ingly to starting the garden truck and fruit and tilling them during the grow ing season. And it is remarkable how large an amount of stuff can be raised on comparatively small piece of ground If you haven't had any gar den at all or one not up to your liking in the past try it this year and see how much satisfaction you will get out Of it and what q saving it will result in.

TRAVELLING GRANGE LIBRARIES
Becoming a Feature of Considerable
 Importance.

 Importance.
 These libraries consist of twenty-five or thirty-five volumes, which are sent out by the state libraries to grange reading clubs or other associations of citizens. They may be retained for three months, with privilege of renew al. The grange receiving these libra ries pays only the cost of transporta- ton. One grange in Ohio secured over $75 worth of books at the small cost of about S1 for postage and express. At the end of six months these books were returned and others secured thus giving opportunity for the reading of good books at very slight expense. The travelling library system has ex- banded wonderfully in the state of Ohio. Last year there were 923 trav- cling libraries loaned, aggregating over 27,000 volumes.
 In New York state three most valu- able selections of books for permanent grange libraries have been made in ac- cordance with a resolution of the last state grange meeting. These libra ries are sold at different prices-No. l, $25; No. 2, $20; No. 3, $15, according to the number of books they contain. These. books are intended for perma- nent location in the grange purchas- ing them, the books being in charge of librarian who issues them at each meeting

DISEASE PREVENTION.

As with the human species. the like lihood of a development of different diseases in animals is greatly increased or diminished. depending upon the con dition of health in which they happen to be. There is little question that there are present in the healthy or ganism of animals or man germs of various diseases which, owing to the re sistant power of the system, lie dor mant or are ultimately cast off. but let the system become impoverished and feeble in resistance, and the same germs that before were inactive assert themselves. and trouble follows. From this it can be readily seen thht one of the chief preventive measures tending to keep animals free from attacks of disease is to keep them in high con- dition of vitality. If this is done and pains are taken to keep sanitary con- ditions what they ought to be, there will be little to fear.

A Suggestion to Pomona Masters.

We do not know that it is the custom for masters of Pomona granges to make addresses at the annual meeting of the Pomona, but we think it is a good idea. This is done in the national and state granges, and the masters are thus enabled to give concise statements of the work accomplished through the year, with outlines and suggestions for the year to come. This is quite as es- sential in the Pomona grange as it Is in the state grange. A concise state ment of the work of the Order In the county is beneficial not only to the grange assembled, but If published in the local papers enables those not members of the grange to see at a glance what the Order is attempting to do in the country

Grange Roll Calls.

There is no better method to bring diffident, backward members to "say something" on subject under discus sion in the grange than the roll call and the question box. After a general grange discussion has been concluded bring out those who have not spoken by roll call or by placing some ques tions previously prepared in a question box and asking these diffident mem bers to give their opinions on them Get them once started and you may develop much talent that is now la. tent This is a hint to lecturers.

Tho Question Answered For Those Not

The Question Answered For Those Not
 Familiar With the Organization.
 With 90O,OO0 members in the United States, it would seem altogether un- necessary to ask or answer the QueS- ton, but this paper may come under the eye of some one who Is not fa- miliar with it's aims and principles. The grange is an organization of farm CTS for their mutual welfare. Among the specific objects named in its dec laration of purposes are these: To e2- nance the comforts and attractions of home; to develop a higher and bet ter manhood and womanhood among ourselves; to further cooperation; to buy less and produce more in order to make our farms sell sustaining; to bring producers and consumers, farm CTS and manufacturers, into the most direct and friendly relations possible. The grange Is nonpartisan, yet its principles underlie all true politics and statesmanship. 1t believes in cooper ating in every legitimate manner for its own protection and to enhance its interests.
 The Order Is called Patrons of Illus bandry, and the head of the national grange is Hon. N. J. Bachelder of Con cord, N. H. Twenty-eight states have state organizations. Below them are the county organizations, called Pomo- ma granges. and below these are the 5000 or 5000 subordinate granges. Meetings are held of these subordinate granges once month or oftener, where subjects pertaining to the farmers in terests, social, educational and agri- cultural, are discussed. Women are on an equality with men in the grange. i and to them not little of the wonder l ful success of the organization is due. \ It's purpose may be stated in word or two-to uplift the farmer morally, socially. educationally and materially.
