The problem Of clearing OF cut-ovsr
land in Northern Wisconsin has been
greatly simplified by the introduction
OF Angora goats. The Angora goats
do not pull up stumps nor cut down
standing timber. but they clear on
brush and young trees. James B. Car.
roll, of Alma Center. says that they
have enabled him to clear his land
and keep It cleared at cost OF only
FIVE dollars an acre. ell puts them
into a five-acre lot. and let's them stay
in it till the entire piece is clean.
They will girdle and kill young trees
four and five inches in diameter, and
they like brush better than grass.
Their wool is valuable. and they are
sure breeders. though they do not
multiply as fast as sheep.
For 10 these many years the goat
has been a favorite butt of the comic
cartoonist, who has shaken with
laughter while depicting him in the
act of chewing up tin can or deyour-
ing the family wash as 1t hung on the
line. The goat may have done. these
things when he was forced by man
to live in the environs OF populous
cities. The goat loves freedom. His
natural home is on the edge Of the
wilderness. Evidently it pays to put
him where he belongs.

Fragrance Of Flower Waited for Two

Miles at Cutting Time.
One of the minor harvests Of Eng

lavender fields. have seen some
lourishing crops in the Hitchin
neighborhood.
Comparatively few knew Of this
quaint Hertfordshire town a. sn i'm
portant lavender growing centre. yet
It has grown the sweet herb (which
the Romans called lavandula when
they used 1t to scent their baths), has
distilled the flowers and sent their ex-
tract into all parts of the world for
more than century.
The Hitchin district has less rain
and more sunshine than the London
area during the month which has Just
closed. and consequently the long.
trim rows of lavender plants in their
dusky green look strong and healthy.
They are beginning to show their
flower buds. and there is every ikeii-
hood Of an abundant yield at cutting
time. which will be from three to
four weeks hence.
At cutting time people come in from
miles around to inhale the sweetness
OF the fields. and when the distilling
begins the fragrance of lavender is
borne on the wind two miles or more
from the town.
The flowers are put into the still
with the fresh bloom Of their maturity
on them, and from six pounds OF such
flowers about half an ounce of oil Ia
extracted.
