Good Story, Anyway.

Ollie James of Kentucky, recently q
representative, but now a senator
tells of the time when he was driving
through a hilly section of his native
state partly for pleasure and partly
on business connected with his po
litical hopes. He came to a farm
house where there was a nice looking
we'll and windmill, and he pulled in
and asked the farmer ii he might have
drink.
"Ah'm sorry, sah,' said the farmer
"Ah'd suttenly like to 'comadate you
but l cyant. Ef you all II jest drap
into Jones place, bout a mile further
on, maybe you can git somethin'."
But I thought noticed a fine well
here on your place. said the senator
from Kentucky.
why, that's water! l didn't know
you wanted water; l thought you
asked me for a drink. You sure car
have all the water you want"

Of these places will have a centennial
celebration. Some have been planning
for some time and local historians
have been gathering material for the
historical address. The birthdays
come in February, but following the
usual customs will be held in the sum-
mer and in connection with something
like an old home week. when the sons
and daughters Of the town will gather
from all parts of the country. There
will be family and class reunions, ex-
ercises in the town hall, a historical
parade, big dinner, always a Cen
tennial ball" and music by the village

Rushing Business.

Recently well-known partner Of a
brokerage house was seen rushing
wildly downstairs in a Broad street
skyscraper. A friend stopped him and
asked the cause Of the hurry. why,
an old client OF mine stepped in to see
me for moment and the fool Office
boy did not tell him / was in an inside
oflce and he left saying he was going
to be shaved. SO l am following him
up" Later the broker was again met
by his friend, who called out genially;
did you find your customer in the
barber's?" Eyes, old man, and he
gave me 10-share order in New York
Central" was the triumphant reply.
The friend said nothing, but thought
all the more, for had not the same
broker refused to carry "a mere go
shares of Union Pacific" for him in
1906 on the plea that the firm did not
care for "odd lots ?"-Wall Street Jour

the state game wardens, who are now
trapping the birds by thousands and
sending them to other sections Of the

covey of quail that must have contain
ed 5000 birds.
"They were SO thick the sun light
was shut out when they few past" he
said. "The quail are very wise." DO
continued, "and hunters find trouble

valuable part Of the goat is the skin,
worth S125 to $1.50, and the constant
trend of prices is upward" These
figures of values are presumably in
Mexican currency in whic hthe dollar
is equivalent to about one-half dollar
in United States currency.
The Consul adds that the increase in
the number of goats is very rapid,
since they begin breeding at from 6
to s months OF age, and bred twice a
year, bringing forth 2 and not infIe-
quently kids at each breeding sea
son. A single shepherd it is said will
look after at least 900 goats. He
adds "A careful investment Of 81 900
well looked after can certainly be
counted upo nto doubel itself in 212
years, and to give at least so per
cent profit per annum from the end
of the second year" The report of
Consul Canada closes by presenting
the result of a three years experiment
in goat raising on farm in the State
Of Guerrero, Mexico, as follows:
I'm 1904 the manager OF the farm
received $4,000 goats, including large
and small, at valuation of $1.5O each,
equal to $4,000. From the produce
of these he sold, during 8 months of
1904 and the years 1905 and 1906, 5O,-
600 head at $5 each, equal to $25O,O00,
and had, at the close of 1906 $4,000
head on the farm, being $4,000 more
than he started with. The result was,
counting the value of the $4,000 in
crease at $3.50 each with the forego-
ing sales, the investment OF $4,000
produced in less than 9 years $2SS(OOO,
besides the original stock of $4,000
goats was intact" (Figures in Mex
iean currency)
The above facts as to the possibil-
tiles in the increase of the meat sup
ply of the United States, while retain
ing at home the hundreds of millions
of dollars now sent abroad for the pur-
chase of goat skins, and producing this
supply of valuable material on lands
now practically unutilized, are cited
as the cause of the numerous inquiries
upon this subject now reaching the.
Department OF Commerce and Labor.
The number of goats now produced in
the United States is small compared
with that of many other countries The
latest figures in the Bureau of Stats
tics show the number in the United
States in 1910 at about 8 million; in
Mexico, 4A million; Turkey in Asia,
8 million; British South Africa, II
million; and British India, "a million.
The Importation of goats skins into
the United States was in 1911 stated
in values. from India, nearly Z million
dollars worth; from China, a little
over 3 million dollars worth; from
MeAlCO. over = liilioH uOildi 20 WI III
and from England, l million dollars
worth For the current fiscal year,
ending with the present month, the
total value Of this article imported
will approximate "a million dollars,
the number of animals represented
by these importations being about 45
million.
The number of goats in the United
States according to the census of 1910,
increased about 50 per cent in the
last decade, very large proportion
of the million enumerated by the
census of 1910 being in the southwest
ern states.
