Goat Farm In Assumption.

A novelty In stock raising In the
southern part Of the state has been
introduced by Henry Delaune, the
Assumption parish sugar planter and
stockman, who has just started with
Angora goats on a place he has along
the shores of Lake Verret, in AS
sumption. Mr.. Delaune recently
picked up one ram and four ewes in
Texas, where Angora raising has
been developed to its highest point IN
this country, and the interesting fea-
ture of Angora goat wool is that It
has escaped the tariff executioner's
axe, not being free listed like the
lowly lambs wool. Mr.. Delaune says
Angora wool sells for about rs cents
a pound, and his purchase OF the lit.

iment and see If they are adapted to
this climate and range such as they
