MANAGING THE ANG0RA GOAT
Animals Have Natural inclination to
Browse on Coarse Herbaee, but
Must Have Other Feed.
(By B. E. LARA.)

Goats, like other animals, must be
fed or they will die. Some people do
not seem to. reeog gniza tilis fact. but
It is true. Goats haze natural incli-
nation 70 hrows on shrubs, weeds or
any other Goa saved herbage. but
they mus nave nutritious feed IN ad-
dillon to thrive.
m Angora goals are fed and treated
as one would treat sheep they viii
get along very well. Ii the winter
time they need clean clover hay and
some grain, and clean, fresh water at
all times. The goat is almost as fin
icky as the sheep and requires water
untainted by any other animal, sweet
grain and hay, as they will not touch
these feeds if they are musty.
Too much has been said about the
ability of goats as weed destroyers.
1t is true they will clean up a pasture
of coarse weeds, and SO will sheep;
we have never been able to discover
much difference and, taking every
thing into consideration, we believe
that the farmer who raises sheep in
stead of goats will get better satisfac-
ton from his flock.

BASIS or ALL PROSPERITY
Wealth of Farmer Enters Into Every
Business and Enriches by Gre
atinq Demand for Workers.

By G. Fl. Afford, Atlanta, Ga)
The prosperity of all classes of peo-
pie in any country is dependent upon
its farming interests. The wealth Of
the farmer is at the basis of all gen
eral prosperity. 1t enters into every
business and enriches 1t as it goes,
by creating a demand for the labor of
workers in all occupations. Mining
and manufacturing, commerce and
transportation, all the wheels of in
dustry refuse to run when agricul-
tural conditions languish. When the
farmer laughs the world laughs with
him; when he weeps he does not
weep alone.
The states of Mississippi Maryland,
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, Texas, and others have taken a
long step forward in laying the foun-
dation for a higher type of educated
farmers, by establishing agricultural
high schools and thereby placing
practical agricultural education with
in easy reach of the masses.
Let each county establish an agri-
cultural school and thereby develop a
saner, broader, and more practical
education for the boys and girls of
the farm. Let us establish agricul-
tural high schools and fill our farms
with we'll educated, broadminded men
men who will restore dignity to the
long down-trodden, but honorable bus
mess of agriculture and raise it to the
highest rank among the occupations
of man.
Let us establish agricultural high
schools and give our boys and girls
an agricultural education-an educa-
ton that produces wealth and there
by make the south the wealthiest sec
ton of the world.

EUROPE'S Old RACE
Nbanians Are a Brave, Savage
and Religious People.
All Trained to Warfare-Power OF
Life and Death Over Members OF
Tribe Held by Its Chief
Women Sacred.

London.-The only race claiming to
descend directly from the Pelasgi is
the Skipetar, native Of Albania. and
its mentality affords fascinating field
for delivers in prehistoric conditions.
Christianity. ardently assimflated and
interviewer with primeval instincts. TO
which a tinge of Mohammedanism has
been added, give a curious mixture
that puzzles students of this most an
cient people in Europe. The Alban-
ian is brave, savage and religious, aft
er his own fashion. Catholicity OF
particular brand fourishes in the
northern regions. but it has proved
impotent to oust tribal custom, on
which, at most, 1t can impose certain
notifications. Thus we have the
church adapting her tenets to the reg
ulation of what she cannot as yet re-
move; the blood-feud, archaic mar
rfage laws, and intertribal relations.
There is nothing modern about the
Albanian, except his weapons, which
are of the best caliber, for here he Is
indeed connoisseur. The annual GER
emony of blessing the guns In the
Mirdite tribe Is very impressive. The
Albanian youth does not always wait
for 1t to be invested with what Is to
him the symbol of manhood. Should
occasion arise, after he has completed
his sixteenth year, it is solemnly hand
ed to him.. and he receives it rever-
emily. making the sign of the cross

lation, although he has not had weap-
on Of his own, but not until he has
used it to some purpose may he wed
the maiden to whom he has been be-
trothed from infancy.
An Albanian tribe or fis is governed
arbitrarily by it's chief, who has pow
er of life and death over its members.
A fis knows no distinction Of creed;
Moslem, Catholic and orthodox ow-
ing perfect allegiance to each other,

another tribe. The head of Moslem

Catholic ''Kocogas' A tribe is divid-
ed into "bariks" or banners, which
muster in the appointed order as soon
as the summons for action goes forth.
Cowardice is a vice unknown to the
Albanian, for he has lived since birth
in a fighting atmosphere, and his skir-
mishes with his neighbors are more
frequent than football matches in Eng

GET LEARNING FROM BOOKS
Modern Farmer Who Does Much
Reading No Longer Subject of
RidIcule-Many Study.

The farmer who reads agricultural
papers. books, and bulletins, and at
tends farmers institutes is no longer
ridiculed as book farmer, except by
an occasional simpleton whose cen
sure amounts to real praise. People
are studying agriculture as never be-
fore. Once, and not very long ago,
either, it was thought derogatory to
the high character of the human in
tellect to engage 1t in the sordid af-
fairs of business. Eventually brains
became involved in business affairs
as well as in philosophy. rhetoric, and
poetry, and later even philosophers
and poets became reconciled to this
humiliation of the "God-like" faculty
of man. Later farmers began to in
woke the intellect to insure success
and began to arouse themselves from
the lethargy of centuries, and to ask,
why so much progress in other lines
and so little on the farms. Farmers
are now combining in one enthusias-
tic chase In hot pursuit of knowl-
edge. Let every one of us run the
race of our lives.

LIVE STOCK
g5 NOTES

Inferior sows constantly pull down
the average of the herd.
Muddy pens in winter are discour-
aging places to keep a hog.
Sheep will do better on rough land
than will any other kind of stock save
goats.
Good feeding is an integral part
of success in breeding pure-bred
swine.
A rigid system of selection of brood
sows should be practiced by all swine
breeders.
Kafir fodder should never be fed ex-
clusively to cattle because it will
scour them.
The profits of successful hog
man rest largely upon his success In
raising pigs.
Few branches of stock feeding offer
better inducements than feeding
range lambs.
Cattle feeding is not a hazardous
business, provided it is done intelli-
gently and conservatively.
Soft coal or coal cinders are rel
ished by pigs and hogs because of the
mineral matter they contain.
Hogs that have a natural shelter
and a good dry ground under them
will always do well in winter.
Lambs to. be finished for market
should go into winter feeding quarters
before the weather becomes cold and
unsettled.

He is of ali men miserable who en-
joyeth not his food.
Spanish Stew.-Buy beef ribs at the
price your butcher insists on asking:
put them, after q thorough wiping,
into a pot with cold water, a peeled
and sliced onion and a half can of to-
matoes, a red pepper well minced, and
five whole cloves Simmer gently for

ribs is sufficient for a family of six.
little chopped ham left from din
ner, added to a white sauce and used
on creamed potatoes, makes a very
appetizing dish.
Beans and Bacon.-Soak a pint Of
beans over night and cook in fresh wa
ter until tender the next morning
Just before serving add a seasoning
of cream, salt and pepper and serve
hot Bacon cut in dice and fried, the
beans added and cooked five minutes,
is also a nice way to serve them.
Potato Croquettes.-Take a cup and
a half OF mashed potatoes and mix
it'll tablespoonful of butter and the
yolk of an egg. Season with salt and
pepper and milk to moisten Mold
into croquettes, make a hole in each
and stuff with little green pepper

crumbs and ending with the banana.
Pour in rich milk enough to fill the
spaces. dot with bits Of butter and

FARMERS AND TIER AUTOS
Not Bought for Pleasure, but Because
Machines Can Be Used TO Mucn
Advantage In Farming

Recently there has been consider
able pessimism expressed by country
bankers over the alleged reckless e1-
travagance of farmers in buying auto
mobiles. and some state bankers as'
sociations have gone SO far as TO e1-
press in official resolutions their ois-
approval OF farmers taking tneir
money out of the banks to buy ma
chimes and intimating that credit VIII
be refused those who try to borrow
money for that purpose.
These pessimistic warnings Dy
the banks are so uniform in charac-
ter and are sent with such marked
regularity as to arouse the suspicion
that they emanate from a certain
source and are intended to conceal
sinister purpose. Perhaps this activ.
ity on the part Of certain powerful
financial interests may be explained
by the reports that great trust ls
being formed to take over all the prln-
cipal automobile factories in the
United States, and If the business can
be demoralized by frightening people
and thus preventing them from buy
ing machines the central plants can
be bought for less money.
While 1t Is true that thousands or
farmers have bought autos, it VIII
doubtless be found on proper investi.
cation that most Of them had the
money In the bank to pay for them,
and that very little borrowed money
has been used for thia purT The

purpose and that one bank in Kansas

had been placed to get money to buy
automobiles, have been proven to be
entirely untrue.
Farmers are buying automobiles
not as bankers do, for pleasure-but
because they have learned that they

the labor of a team and man in the
field is we'll worth while and highly
'commendable
Thousands of autos are used every
day by dairymen, fruit growers and
truckers to deliver their produce to
market, and these machines, loaded
to the guards, may be seen daily on
the streets Of market towns in every
state, east, west, north and south.
Many farmers also use their autos
for power to run separators and 9TH
er light machinery on the farm, as
it is the cheapest power that can be
supplied. And if in addition to these
needs the farmer uses hts auto to take
his family to town or to church or to
visit his friends with comfort and
celebrity while the work teams are
resting, he is merely showing further
evidence of his conservative business
judgment and good common sense
which we may safely continue to
trust.

RaIsinn Race Winners.

Before deciding to patronize any
lines may be pleasing, the small
breeder who is desirous of raising
race winners should learn whether
the horse has sired race winning
speed or not. He should also learn
whether the ancestors of the stallion
on both sides have been successful
either as race winners themselves or
as sires or producers of uniform race
winning speed. The horse all Of
whose ancestors for several gener-
ations have been the most successful
in this respect, other things being
equal, is the most likely to transmit

ABANDON BIG PEACH ORCHARD
Bearing Trees to Number OF 225,o0o
Cut Down to Make Way for More
Profitable Crop.

An item appears of curious sign1fi-
canoe with regard to agricultural
production in the south. 1t is that
what is described as the largest peach
orchard in the world, that Of the
Bayley estate of Americus, Ga, has
been cut down and burned and the
ground given to cotton raising. The
orchard contained 225,000 bearing
trees and for years has been among
the first to supply the northern mar
kets, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
But while there have been immense
shipments. large quantities went to
waste and the owners believe that
they can get more profit out OF cotton
on the same ground.
It has been one of the chief claims
that the souths greatest hope was in
diversifying it's agriculture and espe-
cially in raising fruits and vegetables
for northern markets. Yet 1t appears
from this that the cost of shipping is
an immense drawback for the south
ern producers of perishable crops,
the greater part of which has to be
sold in the north. Yet it remains the
fact that there are few junctureS
when the southern peaches cannot be
readily sold, and If northern raisers
can get a good peach crop at all they
can sell their product at good rates.
It is true that cotton gets far bet
ter price now than when the southern
fruit movement began. Yet we find
it hard to believe that this great
peach orchard would not have yield
ed it's owners more than the cotton
crop is likely to.

MORE PAPER BAG COOKERY.

Tomatoes Baked In Small Paper
Raas--Wash the tomatoes, lay them
in creased paper bags II is nice to
allow a bag for each tomato ana
serve them In the bag. Bake In
moderate oven for twenty minutes
They should be tender, without being
broken. The flavor OF tomatoes baked
this way is so much better that IT Is
worth trying.
Stuffed Onions. .-Parboil sufficient
number of medium-sized onions for the
meal, put them into cold water, drain
and, when cold. remove the centers.
Fill the onions with savory stuf1ng
or chopped ham, or nuts or bits or sau-
sage: anything that will make stut-
fing of sufficient flavor. Place In
buttered bag with little water ana
butter, and bake for three-quarters OF
an hour Remove from the bag TO
hot vegetable dish, sprinkle with salt
and pepper and serve with the sauce
from the bag poured around them,
Baked Potatoes.-Parboil for ten
minutes a sufficient amount of pota-
toes for the family, then place in
buttered paper bag with few table,
spoonfuls OF butter. Bake for half an
hour, then tear open the bag, sprinkle
with parsley and serve from the bag,
placed on a platter. Salt should be
added to the potatoes before putting
them in the bag. The flavor .of pota-
toes baked in this manner is really
surprising to those who have never
eaten them.
A fish steak may be stuffed and laid
in a paper bag and baked, making
most elegant dish.
Liver, previously parboiled and
cooked in a paper bag, would never be
recognized as the same dish which we
so often serve on our tables. Lay the
bacon in the bag, and on these pieces
of calfs liver, which have been well
scalded in boiling water, season and
fold the bag; lay on the rack in hot
oven and bake for twenty minutes or
until the bag is a golden brown. Slide
the bag off on hot platter and carry
to the table before opening.
Pigeons, squads and small game are
delicious baked in paper bags. Stuff
wild duck. after parboiling, with a
bunch of celery or an onion, and put
into the buttered bag Bake in hot
oven for twenty to thirty minutes.
