CHIEF USES OF GOAT
Angora Is Small Animal of Espe-
cialIy Fine Silky Hair.
Suitable Prices for Mohair Have Not
Prevailed Because of Large Num-
Der Of Cross-5reeds-ExceIIent

goat, and under what conditions
would he advise the growing OF
same? MI. Evans that the
chief uses are:
1. The production of mohair.
2. The production of mutton.
3. Clearing land of noxious weeds.
4. Clearing and Of underbrush by
browsing.
The Angora goat originated IN
Angora, Asia Minor, and is a small
goat Of especially fine silky hair.
The greater number of the goats of
the United States have been imported
from Asia Minor. Turkey and South
Africa. A great many Of the finest
goats in the world today may be
found in the United States, scattered
from Texas to Washington.
Suitable prices for mohair have not
generally prevailed. This is proba-
bly, explained by the fact that a large
number Of the goats which we have
today r cross-bred goats gotten
by a top of Angora on the old
short-haired Spanish goat. This has
not only caused a shortage in the
length Of the fiber, but has caused
a great deal of kemp to be found
over the body Of the fleece. Kemp

crease this problem will be solved
to a great extent by a market classit-
cation of the product.
Goat mutton has been usually OBJ
jected to because of the wild flavor
vor Of the flesh is usually due to
the fac hat the animals are raised
largely on noxious weeds. Goats pas
tured on grass or fattened on grains
or forage crops produce a quality OF
mutton that is number one. Only
a slight wild flavor a be detected
and this but adds TO the palatability
lands in this state are paying fair
Of the meat. Most of the cultivated
lands In his state are paying fair
dividends on the investment, but q
large per cent. Of the lands used for
p%asturing + bringing very poor re-
turns. This Is due to a great preva~
lence Of noxious weeds found through
out the south. Goats seem to have a
preference for weeds instead of grass
and a few goats will readily clean
a farm of weeds, thereby doubling
IA0 grass ylelu per acre anu al Inv
same time will actually make q
profit OF the weeds.
Goats are especially fond OF under
brush, and a few goats will absolute
ly clean out all underbrush in a pas
ture in a very short time. This
makes the land easy to clear, o If
the land Is to be used for pasture
grass will readily spring up under
the large trees. At the anne time a
profit may be made on the goat crop
and the land will be fortified as IN
other stock farming. The greatest
objection probably to the raising OF
goats is their ability to climb fences,
and it is pretty nearly impossible to
keep them inclosed in anything less
than a seven-wire fence or a fence
made Of woven wire. In that case all
braces for corner posts and gates will
need to be placed on the outside of
the wire, as they seem to take an
especial pleasure in running up any
kind Of a brace and jumping over in
the n~eighbor's lot.

a brace as this can never lift or give

ing: 1t is far better to bore hOles
through the posts and run the wires
through rather than to staple them to
the posts, especially ~ n uses wood
that is apt to split and that does not
hold staples well. l have seen thou
