The Angora goat is not afraid OF
dogs and can protect itself well against
their attacks. They are fond OF but
ting each other in, play, but l never
saw one attempt to fight other stock.
II requires some kind of fence to
keep the goat in which he cannot
stand ON the top OF or climb up. The
best fence for Angora goats is the
woven wire fence. This fence need
not be over 40 or az inches high. The
fence must be close TO the ground. so
they cannot crawl under. When their
hair is long enough to protect them
goats will often crawl through a
barbad wire fence II the wires are not
very close or the posts close together
with the wires well stretched. Goats
will not jump over any fence, they
want TO climb up, and then they will
jump down, or they will jump up on
top OF the fence and then down; but
they never jump over a fence like
mule or steer.

TO MANAGE NEBRASKA SOILS
Manure Should Be We'll Rotted Be
fore Applied and Spread Evenly
In Light Layers.

while I was inspecting some land
in Scots Bluff county, Nebraska, last
summer. | noticed that the majority
of farmers had large manure piles ly-
ing about in their yards. IL was only
here and there that the manure had
been hauled out asked about the
reason for this and was told that the
sandy soils in that county become too
loose when manure IL applied to them
and, in fact, that manure does more
harm than good in that section.
observed that the corn crop was very
small as compared with the crop in
Iowa, which was undoubtedly due TO
the impoverished condition of the
soils. Can the sandy soils in that
county be improved? II So how?"
II Is a common opinion in the West
that manure is not good for land.
Farmers believe II causes 1t to dry
out and the crops to burn up. This
belief is due to the fact that the ma
nure Is often applied, when not well
rotted and is put on In large quant-
ties per acre. and then plowed under.
more humid climates and often with
beneficial effects for the reason that
the manure is usually much better
rotted i'm humid climates and because
the land is much heavier and the
loosening effect of the manure is bcne-
fetal rather than otherwise. but the
most important difference is that in
humid climates there would be suffi-
cient rainfall to rapidly decompose
the manure In the soil and compact It,
while in western Nebraska there is
not enough rainfall to decompose this
manure In the soil or to repack the
soil after It has been plowed under.
The result is that the manure re-
mains In an undecomposed condition
in the soil for several years and keeps
II in n very loose condition. 1t has
been observed. however, that several
years after manuring when it has be-
come well decomposed and incorpo-
rated I'm the soil that the crops are
greatly increased just as they would
be in Iowa soils In other words, the
manure is just as beneficial in west
ern Nebraska as It is in Iowa when
II Is thoroughly decomposed and in
corporated with the soil. In fact, the
western soils are more in need of
humus than any other, due to the fact
that there never has been large
growth of vegetation on this land.
Extra precaution should be taken in
the West to thoroughly rot the ma
nure before being applied to the land
and then spread it on evenly in light
applications. not more than Is or 20
loads TO the acre. It is also best TO
spread II on the land which has been
plowed rather than to plow II under.
If the manure is applied in this way
the soluble fertilizer elements will be
washed into the soil with the first
rain and the manure will also act as
a mulch TO the crop and prevent the
blowing of the land.
If these rules were observed by
western farmers. they would find ma
nure just as beneficial as do the Iowa
farmers.

Difference In Maintenance.

You can get a man to look out for
your horses and carriages for $40 per
month and board, and who will sleep
in the stable says the Horseman. The
chauffeur demands 500 per month
and good quarters. Your stable man
keeps the rigs in shape at a moderate
cost, while the chauffeur runs up bills
for tires and various repairing that
give you sleepless nights until you get
accustomed to it. A man with a posi-
tive income, or one who has to reach
patients quickly. or who can develop
his business by the use of the automo-
bile, never laments when he installs
one or more. But the average man
who is used to paying horse-vehicle
bills receives severe jars or his nerves
when his experienced automobile man
comes for his monthly wages, and at
the same time exhibits costs of re-
pairs and sundry articles.
