On. Million Goats in America.

In Farm and Fireside appears. a
most interesting article about goats
an article full of facts bout the com
mercial possibilities of raising these
animals. There are 1.O0O.0 900 Angora
goats in America and yet we import
annually over 30 per cent of the mo-
hair used in our domestic manufact-
ures. There is no reason why our
farmers cannot maintain enough goats
to supply our domestic trade with SUI
perior mohair. Following is an extract
from the article:
The banner goat farm OF America is
located in Texas. n numbers 10, 900
head of grade and pure bred Angoras.
Last year the owner of this ranch real
lied "a net profit of 81 per animal from
tentious goat farms throughout New
Mexico. California and Oregon. The
largest goat ranch in the Mississippi
valley has 1000 head. but the average
flock in this country is from 1000 to
500 animals.
The custom is to shear the goat
early in April. Ordinary hair sells for
IS to So cents a pound. This common
grade of mohair. which commands no
especially high price, is that whose
length is less than u inches; the or
binary fleece of one years growth
measures about 10 inches in length.
The average mature doe will shear
sIA w IA O0AAA va 4AIOAAdi
each year while the full crown buck
will yield from 10 to 15 pounds. Pre-
vious To shearing, the flock is graded
into classes of does, bucks, kids and
wethers. The fieeces are marketed ac-
cording to this classification. The
American Angora Goat association
maintains a special mohair warehouse
in Boston, where the f1eeces of prac-
tically all the Angoras in his country
are marketed. AT this depot the fleeces
are carefully cleaned. regarded if nee
essary. and baled ready for consign-
ment to the manufacturing plants.
where the raw mohair is converted into
clothing. rugs. book bindings. shoes ard
gloves.
"One very beautiful fleece. which was
- inches in length. solo for $3.50 a
pound. the record price for raw mo-
hair in this country. -Four dollars a
pound is about the ordinary top figure.
Land can be cleared by Angora
goats of the worst brush known to
this country for a little less than moth
ing. How? Simply this: Angora goats
will live on leaves and weeds, leaving
the land cleaner and nicer than can
be done in any other Way.'

Wealth Without Poetry.

"For twenty years. says Hamilton
has been too busy to take ccOun OF
it's poetry: but now that it is learning
that wealth without poetry is weari-
ness. and that the divorce of the senses
from the imagination is a spiritual
scandal. and a breeder of material
scandals as we'll. it may turn again to
the singers who hav neither feared
nor battered it. but have refused to be
blinded by it's prosperity or confused
by its resounding activities. The new
poetry is refreshing reading, no be-
cause it is great but because 1t keeps
the old loyalty to the things Of the
Snirif."

NORMAL SCHOOLS FOR
RURAL TEACHERS NEEDED

academic subjects of secondary or col
legiate grade, additional courses in
natural and physical sciences. particu-
larlN in their applications. and in ma
ture study. elementary agriculture.
domestic economy. sanitation. rural
economies. and rural sociology"
Three main agencies are attempting
teachers. The normal school. the coun-
ty training school. and tn high school.
Th.. bulletin describes the work of
each OF these agencies and selects
typical examples from different sec
ions OF the country for more detailed
description. State normal schools at
B~ellingham, Wash. H~arrisonburg, Va.
and Athens. Ga, are discussed as ex-
aniples OF normal. schools that offer
ers. based ON the special needs of their
respective localities.
I'm other state uOrnais there are de-
partments of rural education. as in
those of Michigan: the Illinois State

and five Wisconsin normal schools.

teachers are offered at Valley City. n.

n. g. Certain county normal schools
are designed solely for the preparation
of rural teachers. as in Wisconsin. So
great has been the lack of trained
teachers i'm rural education that the
high schools have been pressed into
service. Thirteen states have organized
high schools or IN close connection with
them.

ENJOIN RAILROAD
 SWITCHING TRACKS
APPROPRIATENESS
COURT ORDER PROHIBITS LAY. ING OF TRACK ON WEST
 SIDE OF SQUARE.

actlng upon petition filed this morning by Dr. George S. Brown. Frank E. Robins, T. R. Douglass. Mrs. Alice Hines and other owners of property on the west side, County Judge J. W. Holt today issued an in- junction restraining the St. Louis. Iron Mountain & Southern Railway company from laying any additional tracks on any part of Railroad ave nue or the public square.
 The petition was drafted and filed When 1t was seen this morning by the laying of ties and placing stakes that practically the entire west side of the pubhc square would be occupied bv switch tracks under the new arrange 1nent of the railroad yards in connec ton with the building of the new pas senger depot and removal of the old cepot for freight purposes. The new tracks, if laid, would also completely block the entrance to Railroad avenue from the north end of the square. ieaving only about six or eight feet from the outside edge of the tracks to inc property line of Dr. Geo. s. Brown ct this point. From this point the tracks as staked out would curve Ja the west and in front of the Hines ho- tel street of only 40 feet or less would be left west of the tracks.
 The petition of the plaintiffs alleg- ed that their property would be great ly damaged by the new arrangement .of the tracks, and that the land in Railroad avenue and on the public square, upon which the defendant was proposing and intending to encroach with It's tracks was public property.
 Judge Holt, after hearing the peti- uon, at once granted the injunction and notice was served by Sheriff J. S. Johnson upon the foreman in charge .0f the track-layers and Agent J. W. James. The work of laying the tracks. winch was progressing rapidly, was immediately stopped.
 Unless dissolved sooner by the chan .cellor, the temporary restraining or der will stand until the next term of .chancery court, which convenes here ln September. The injunction will probably have the effect of delaying the work of removing the old depot. it having been planned to shift the old structure across the tracks today.
 The matter of the roalroad's en- rroaching on the streets and public square was brought to the attention O. the city council last night and was re- ferred to the committee on streets and alleys, composed of H. T. Whiddon. R. B. McCulloch and Wellington Robbins.

Books By Parcel Post?.

Congressman David J. Lewis, Of
Maryland, whose investigation OF
parcel post did not cease when the
parcel post law was enacted, made
several valuable contributions to
public knowledge on this subject in
his recent speech, but none was more
valuable than the one which correct
ed the popular impression that all
books are barred from parcel post.
$s Mr.. Lewis showed, only lighter
books are barred by the law from the
benefits of the new postal service.
"Books and all third class matter
above four pounds in weight are
shipable by parcel post" he said.
"Books below four pounds in weight
are not now shipable by parcel post,
but may say know that the Post
master General has under advisement
proposition to extend the service to
include books"
