CHIEF USES OF GOAT.
Angora Is Small Animal Of ESpe-
CiaIIy Fine Silky Hair.
Suitable Prices for MohaIr Have Not
Prevailed Because Of Large Num-
Der of ross-Breeds-ExceIlent
for Cleaning Up Weeds.

c. M. Evans, superintendent Of col
lege extension work at the A. and
M. college of Texas, has an inquiry
as to the chief uses of the Angora
goat, and under what conditions
would he advise the growing Of
same? Mr.. Evans that the
chief uses are:
/. The production of mohair.
2. The production of mutton.
g.. Clearing land of noxious weeds.
l.. Clearing land of u%nderbrush by
browsing.
The Angora goat originated in
Angora, Asia Minor, and is a small
goat Of especially fine silky hair.
The greater number Of che 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 are cross-bred goats gotten
by a top cross 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
is a coarse straight hair found scat
tered over the body, and is objected
to by millers because Of its coarse
ness and because It does not take

New Wheat for Chickens.

AS soon as wheat is harvested bring
a few bundles to the chickens daily.
They will enjoy scratching out the
grain, and 1t is the best feed they can
have. Wheat, oats, corn and buck
wheat are all good grains for poultry,
their comparative food value being
in the order given. Rye is of very lit
tie value as a grain feed for poultry,
but green rye for fall, winter and early
spring picking is excellent.

was easy to be good when not ex-
posed to temptation. But for those
born with the devil in them 1t came
hard. It was all a matter of heredity
and influence. Ones vices as well as
ones virtues are handed down to uS

in the JeRries family somewhere in the
unsavory past there had been q weak,
vicious ancestor from whom he had
inherited all the traits which barred
his way to success.
The crowds of hungry workers grew
bigger every minute. Every n was
elbowing his way into neighboring
restaurants, ~crowding the tables and
buffets, all eating voraciously as they
talked and laughed. Howard was
rudely reminded by inward pangs that
he, too, was famished. Not q thing
had passed his lips since he had left
home in Harlem at eight o'clock that
morning and he had told Annie that
he would be home for lunch. There
was no use staying downtown any
longer. For three weary hours he had
trudged from Office to office seeking
cnployment, answering advertise
ments, asking for work Of any kind,
ready to do NO matter what, but all to
no purpose. Nobody wanted him q
any price. What was the good OF q
man being willing to work II there
was NO one to employ him? A nice
lookout certainly. Hardly = dollar
left and NO prospect Of getting any
more. He hardly had the courage to
return home and face Annie. With q
muttered exclamation Of impatience
he spat from his mouth the half-con'
sumed cigarette which was hanging
from his lip, and crossing Broadway
walked listiessly in the direction Of

In a CONNER cial orchard it would
be well perhaps to set out about
200 trees of one variety, which

to have more than one variety be-
cause of the benefit Of cross pollu.
ton of the blossoms, which brings
a better and more certain yield.
Pear trees require about the same
attention in pruning az apples, but
my experience has been that they
require less spraying, and the same
cultivation.
The only pests have had were
the pear leaf blister mite end the
oyster shell bark scale, both of
which are eradicated by spraying
with the lime sulphur solution be-
fore the leaves open in the spring

latter is larger pear than The
Bartlett, good flavor, tree very Wig

Pears do better on the lower,

Horse Notes

At this season of the year wher
the new oats are taking the place
of old oats and other grain foi

that care be exercised to have this
change made gradually, 1t is best
to mix some of the new with the
old oats for a time until the horse
becomes> accustomed to the new
oats. In any case, small amount
should be fed and if possible secure
some bran, and mix about onefourth

SOMETHING DOING
 AT ORPHEUM THEATRE

! There is always something doing | that is not on the regular program during the second show at the Or pbeum on Tuesday nights that causes
 the audierce much amusement. The occasion for this extra entertainment.
 is the fact that the two teams that are to start their engagement here on
 Wednesday always reach town Tues
 day and are in attendance at the
 show that night, they are not, how
 ever, among those in front. but at.
 tend the show behind the scenes and
 do lot of kidding of the actors who
 are on for their last appearance here
 at that time.
 Last night Balancing Stevens who
 was closing his engagement here was
 the victim of the actors who will be
 seen for the first time tonight at the local playhouse, at feast be was
 inclined to blame his successors on
 the local stage for the misfortunes that bcfell him during his final Rp- pearance. When Lc attempted one of his leading stunts, that of sitting in a chair balanced on a broom han. ale the latter broke and he fell, on investigation he found that the broom handle had been neatly sawed in two and then fastened together so th2s it would hold it's own weight but not the weight of the nan and chair. He became excited about the conspiracy against him and made so much fuss on the stage that one of the local of hcers appeared and informed him that he was under arrest, after some little time, however, he saw that he was still being made the goat by his actor friends and that the pinch was part Of the joke and then went cn with his act. Nelson and Nelson must have been wiser than Stevens, however. for they were not disturbed in their act and it is supposed that they fixed the iokers :n some way during the day so that they were al lowed to get of without any inter rGpdons.
 For several weeks it has been ad yertised that there would be some thing doing" at the Orpheum at the second show on Tuesday nights and many of the local vaudeville patrons have formed the habit of attending on that particular occasion and al ways enjoy some extra stunts" in addition to the regular program.

 The handicap tournament at the Warren District Country club courts has been well contested and inter esting but it has reached it's final stage and from members of the club it is learned that other tournaments are unlikely though not impossible. IL is expected that the final match of this tournament will be played on Saturday afternoon between Notman and Roesler. There has been some talk of a match between teams se- lected from among the best players of the Warren and Douglas Country clubs but as the season advances the chances for such a match become more remote and the call of Play" gives way to the ringing shout of Fore echoing from the golf links, for golf goes on the winter through iG the southwest, indeed that is the season Of the year when the constant ly increasing number of devotees of the Scottish game enjoy it most So exit tennis and enter golf in out O door sports.

 Upon the soundness of the plea there wili be general agreement. IL is but new statement of the philos- ophy of Jesus that each man should take care of his own soul But 1t Is a creed that has been much more sue cesfully taught on lonely farms and pastures than in universities.
 Still. the creed Is a good one to teach. It can never be taught too often. Better than all laws against vice and crime and folly is an i'm. pulse toward self-reform. And per haps such an impulse was never more needed than now. for never was he voice of the crowd more clamorous nor the influence of the crowd more potent.

BlSBEE BALL TEAM

 Return Engagement

In Bisbee the spirit of resenge is
 rampant. This is true among the
 players O. the Bisbee bah nine and as 10 fans as well. If the reader doubts its application to the players let him hie himself to the ball park at Warren any day this week at or after live in the afternoon and see the snap and life tbat the players are pGtttng into their practice. They are preparing for a goat hunt which is to be held next Sunday afternoon and on that hunt they expect 10 recover one missing Bisbee Aneora and another that bears the brand c. C. c. c. and is the property Of the Quien Sabe out. fit of Cananea bail players. Yes. brother fans. the Cananea baseball team is to invade the Warren Dis trict next Sunday and hence the sweet dreams of revenge that are sVeetening the slumbers of the Bis bee ball players ahen they retire Wearied from a hard afternoon of ptac- tjce.
 Bisbec will be stronger on Sunday than when a specimen of the genus Capra was reluctantly left as a host age at Cahanea. At that time there were certain Bisbee players who were not able 10 make the trip into the lsnd of revolutions, mescaI and frijoles but who will be seen in the lineup next Sunday. And further tho order has gone forth that all players must be on the diamond each after noon thls week for practice promptly at o'clock
 The mystic word Cananea, reuin- | iscent of so many diamond battles Of the past, is enough to rouse the enthusiasm of all fans. The Quien 1 Sabes are bunch that is never beat en until the last ball for the firal out 1 in the ninth inning nestIes snugly i and peaceably Tn the mitt of some op- posing player. That is why they al | ways draw the crowd and why they . are ever assured of a warm welcome | in Bisbee whenever they appear here. | It is really too bad to seggregate and | separate them from their cherished Angoras but then it is revenge and as 1t is in love so is it in baseball, all is fair.
