Thus it is often said that the Angora
works and pays for its board at the
same time.
1t is paying more and more, for the
value of the fleece or mohair is in
creasing steadily. Formerly the use
of mohair depended so largely upon
the prevailing fashion that its price
varied widely from year to year. This
condition, however, is rapidly chang
ing as new uses for mohair are con-
tinually found, from automobile tops
and table covers to dress goods and
curled false hair, and today the
grower is assured of a reasonably
steady market. The price of course
varies with the quality, the very best
fieeces bringing on an average from az
to So cents a pound. The weight of
a fleece has a very wide range but in
1909 the average for Oregon was
found to be 81 pounds and for Texas
1.85. On account of the greater heat,
however, and the damage of shedding,
Angoras in the southwest are fire.
quently shorn twice a year-a fact
which must be taken into considera-
ton in all calculations.
This practice of clipping twice a
year is in many ways a drawback to
the industry since it tends to lower
the average grade of American mo-
hair. Mohair as good as any, can be
and is grown in this country but the
average quality is not today consid-
cred to be as good as the foreign.
About 100000 pounds are annually
imported. Ordinarily this is pleaded
and spun with the domestic product.
Six inches is the shortest length of
fleece usually desired and, because of
shearing twice year, much Texas
and New Mexico mohair falls below
this standard. Where the fleece is al
lowed to grow for twelve months, the
average length is 10 inches and in the
best f1ocks it is not unusual to get Is
to 20 inches. Romeo, the sweepstakes
buck at the FL Paso show in 1910, is
an example of what is possible. His
fleece weighed Is pounds, measured
20% inches in length and sold for
$115. Such fleece is not of course the
product of ordinary commercial con-
ditions. 1t implies a considerable
amount of care and personal atten-
ton.
The birth rate is approximately 65
per cent but in well managed flocks
this has risen on occasions as high as
120 per cent. Since the kids are not
hardy, it is obvious that this means
skill and industry during the breeding
season. The best methods of caring
for the flock at this time are discussed
in some detail in the new bulletin.
Otherwise the management of An
goras does not differ greatly from
that Of sheep.

ton it is adaptable and as far as tenn

ding busted if it didn't scare Blackie
young again; the old rack-o'-bones
ran off and smashed Pete's wagon.
"My old ark stood there in the mid
die of the road, and the horse doctor
who has of late years taken to tin
kering motor cars on the side, or both
sides-charged me SO for fixing it.
That's what a fellow gets for letting
his kin know that he has a certain
amount of ready cash.
"To cap it all, Pete made me pay
for a new wagon. Also he claimed
injuries to the old black, and said he
could prove in court that it was a
first class animal when l traded it
to him. He's going to use Orson
Rickett as a star witness-he didn't

talking to Pete about old Blackie
when we were dickering, and the
young deadbeat is sore enough at me
to make it interesting.

feelings he'll use his influence with
all the other farmers living along the

Pete Jepson as a Trader

"They tell me-" began the happy
go-lucky halter banteringly, that you
and old Pete Jepson from out there
on the gravel road have been doing
some great swapping stunts"
"D'you know old Pete ?" replied the
bald-headed philosopher. ITO put my

he'd be pleased to inform me that he
himself was pushing it, and that he
just had the horse hitched ahead out

SiIage An Excellent
Feed For Dairy Cattle

Silage is the main reliance of dairy
farmers in many sections for cow feed
since it has been found to be particu-
larry well adapted as feed in this
connection, is the statement contained
in Farmers Bulletin 57S. While 81
lage is an excellent feed for dairy
stock, it should be combined with
some other leguminous feed, such as
clover, cOwpeas or alfalfa, owing to
its insufficient productive quality.
The leguminOus material will tend
to correct the deficiencies of the silage
in dry matter, protein, and mineral
constituents. A ration of silage and,
say, alfalfa hay alone is satisfactory,
however, only for cows which are dry
or giving only small amount of milk
and for heifers and bulls. Cows in
full milk require some concentrated
feed in addition to hay and silage, as
they can not consume enough of these
feeds to keep up large flow of milk
and maintain body weight
The amount of silage to feed a cow
will depend upon the capacity of the
animal to consume feed. She should
be fed as much as she will clean up
without waste when consumed along
with her hay and grain. Raise or
lower the amount until the proper
quantity is ascertained. Generally
speaking, a good COW should be fed
just short of the limit of her appetite.
If she refuses any of her feed it
should be reduced at once. The small
breeds will eat % or 80 pounds per
day; the large breeds 40 or more; and
the medium sized ones amounts vary
ing between.
Ironclad directions for feeding cows
can not be given. In general, how
ever, they should be supplied with all
the roughage they will clean up with
grain in proportion to butter fat pro-
duced The hay will ordinarily range
between 5 and IL pounds per COW per
day when fed in connection with ST.
lage. For Holsteins one pound of
concentrates for each four pounds of
milk produced will prove about right.
For Jerseys one pound for each three
pounds of milk or less will come
nearer meeting the requirements. The
grain for other breeds will very be-
tween these two according to the
quality of milk produced. A good
rule is to feed seven times as much
grain as there is butter fat produced.
The following rations will be found
good:
For a 1,300-pound COW yielding 40
pounds Of milk testing 35 per cent:
Silage. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 40 lbs.
Glover, cowpea or alfalfa hay 10 lbs.
Grain mixture ..............10 lbs.

pounds of 3.5 per cent milk:

Grain mixture ..............11 lbs.

FATHER LOVE.

We hear about mothers love
In story and in song,
How stanch it is through thick and
thin.
How tender and how strong,
How sweet and pure and beautiful,
And every word is true,
But what about fathers love
That claims some credit, too.
It's father delves the darksOme mine,
And climbs the girders high,
And swings upon the scaffOESJ ding.
Between the earth and sky
It's father bends his aching back,
And bows his grazing head,
To bear the burdens of the day,
And earn the children's bread.
For both must work and both must
plan,
And do an equal share
To rear the little ones the Lord
Has trusted to their care,
All honor to the mother love,
The universe it fills,
But when you praise it don't forget
That father pays the bills.

after milking or at least several hours
before milking the silage odors may
pass through the cows body into the
milk. Besides, the milk may receive
some taints directly from the stable
air. On the other hand, if feeding
is done subsequent to milking, the
volatile silage odors will have been
thrown off before the next milking
hour Silage is usually fed twice
day
Calves may be fed silage as soon as
they are old enough to eat it. 1t is
perhaps of greater Importance that
the silage be free from mold or decay
when given to calves than when given
to mature stock. They may be given
all the silage they will eat up clean
at all times. Yearling calves will con-
sumo about one-half as much as ma
ture stock; that is, from 10 to 20 or
more pounds a day. When supple
mented with some good leguminous
hay, little, if any, grain will be re-
quired to keep the calves in thrifty,
growing condition.
One of the most trying seasons of
the year for the dairy cow is the lat
ter part of summer and early fall.
At this season the pastures are often
short or dried up, and in such cases
it is a common mistake of dairymen
to let their cows drop off in flow of
milk through lack of feed. Later they
find it impossible to restore the milk
flow no matter how the cows are fed.
Good dairy practice demands that the
milk flow be maintained at a high
level all the time from parturitlon to
drying off. 1t becomes necessary,
to supply some feed to take
the place of the grass. The easiest
way to do this is by means of silage.
Silage is cheaper and decidedly more
to use then soiling crops.
The amounts to feed will depend
upon the condition of the pastures,
varying all the way from 10 pounds
to a full winter feed of 40 pounds. 1t
should be remembered in this connec-
ton that silage contains a low per-
centage of protein, so that the greater
the amount of silage fed the greater
must be the amount of protein in the
supplementary feeds to properly bal
ance the ration.

tity of good blood in this country is
already sufficient to meet all require
ments. In the opinion of experts the
best American fleece is now equal to
any grown in South Africa or Asia
Minor, the original home of the An
CORA.
Although nearly every state in the
union now possesses its focks, the
southwest and the northwest are espe-
cially well adapted to the industry,
in particular the large areas recently
logged-of in the northwest. There the
Angora not only thrives himself but
helps to clear away the brush which
if allowed to grow unchecked, might
easily become dangerous fire trap.
