ANGoRA GOATS.

An Alabama company has decided to
go into the goat business. The pro-
moters have purchased a few thou
sand acres Of rough hillside land that
is not valuable for anything except the
ore underneath. They wish to diver
sify and while digging into the ground
will raise goats on top of the soil. A
ready market for the angoras has all
ready been created in Chicago where
thousands are annually slaughtered.
The meat is treated by process to
extract some of the odor and is pro-
nounced by connoisseurs as delicious.
Some years ago Deacon" Scott OF
Fargo started an angora boom in this
state and others have experimental
more or less with the bewhiskered ami
mails. They are hardy and can be
grown and fattened more cheaply than
cattle or sheep. North Dakota may
have some possibilities in this line.

SHOULD HAVE FARGO MEAT.

North Dakota annually pays millions
Of dollars for packing house products.
Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot and other
cities in the state are heavy buyers
of meats and pay tribute to the pack
er barons. Much of this money goes
to Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, st.
Paul and other packing centers.
why should any of this money leave
North Dakota?
Why should the people of North Da-
kota assist in building up great trade
centers in other states?
Why shouldn't that money be spent
at home-to add to the wealth, to in
crease the assessed valuation-to help
bear the expenses of the state, county
and municipal governments-to help
support the schools-to add more peo-
pie to the state--to make more buyers
for other articlec=
North Dakota has the climate, the
range for cattle, sheep and hogs. 1t
can produce in the greatest abundance
the grain to finish these for market.
Why should Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska.
Minnesota and Kansas be permitted to
grow and fatten most of the meat con-
sumed in North Dakota?
The time has come when this state
should no longer exhaust its soil with
q single crop. The fertility must be
retained and increased-and feeding
grain to live stock to fatten them for
markets is among the surest methods.
Other states are awakening to the
possibilities of the live stock industry
and In many cities packing houses ere
being established. In all cases-where
these are properly managed-they have
proven a success. Why can't Fargo
have packing house and use North
Dakota meats-the healthies. and best
the world can grow?
Join in the movement to keep North
Dakota money in North Dakota. This
state offers unlimited opportunities in
this direction. 1t will bring a greatly
desired change in farming methods and
establish packing and live stock indus
tries that win be wealth producers.

Travellers aIes

well, john" said the genial soli-
citor, 81 see you are having your ele-
vator reprinted. like to see a man
take personal pride in keeping his
plant trim and in good order Re
minds me OF old Bill Watkins
of Waycross Junction. Bill was locat-
ed at Waycross about fifteen years,
He was good natured and trusted by
every one, his word being as good as
a note. Bill was kind of careless
his personal appearance and careless
about the appearance of his plant.
'Waycross had two elevators, but
Bill had 80 per cent of the trade so
the other house was closed and offered
for sale. A young Mr.. Hopkins from
the east bit and bought the place. In
two months Bill noticed a heavy de-
crease in his business. At the start
this didn't worry Bill Watkins a great
deal, but as time slipped by and Hop
kins took more and more trade away
Bill began to worry and lose weight.
When the count stood so per cent
Hopkins and 40 per cent watkins, Bill
thought 1t time to be doing something.
He had heard the farmers remarlxins
about the improvements Hopkins had
instituted, but old Bill couldn't see
where the improvements were getting
all the business. Nevertheless he
took trip to the other Line, and made
a good inspection of Hopkins plant.
The neat and safe appearance of his
competitors elevator surprised old
Bill.
A close inspection Of his own plant
disclosed a shaky driveway, a Ieaky
roof and a dump in very poor con-
dition The elevator needed a new
coat of paint, his Office thorough
and his scale an inspection,
Perhaps 1T would 90 some good to ire
carpenters, painters, etc., and Bill did
IT. Fhe change worked in Bits pl7 mt
made him take a new interest in his
