Angoras will produce from three to six
pounds Of mohair per animal each
year. which sells on the market at
from So to 60 cents per pound. Well
cared for pure breds often yield as
high as ten or twelve pounds Of mo-
hair to a shearing. while feeces of spe-
cial luster and over fifteen or eighteen
inches in length sometimes bring as
high as SIS or SO per pound.
The meat Of the Angora is tender,
well marbled and nicely favored. and
many consumers eat goat meat and
imagine that they are consuming lamb
or mutton. On the grade fat Angoras
sell for from to 81 cents a pound.
The manure Of the goat rivals that Of
sheep in tonicing ailing soils.
First Aids to Farmers.
Angoras are first aids to farmers
who desire to inexpensively subdue
wild land. Twenty-Five or thirty goats
pastured on 100 acres Of bush land will
effect wonders in couple Of years to-
ward reclaiming the idle land. 1t is
best to rotate the goats from one small
field to another so that the animals
are constantly gaining in live weight
and at the same time killing out the
undesirable growth. Angoras will
stand on their hind legs and browse all
the leaves and twigs within their reach.
They uniformly Craze over field so
that when they are through with the
task OF cleaning the land the field is
in shape for plowing.

Fletcher seized the customs house to
prevent a German vessel landing
arms ordered by Huerta.
There had heretofore been con-
siderable feeling in official circles
here over the apparent impotency Of
this government to stop receipt of
arms by Huerta brought in the Ger
man vessels. 1t was recognized that
such munitions of war would greatly
strengthen Huerta and give him more
power against the United States. 1t
was also known that since there was
no formal blockade in effect the Ger
man vessels could not be prevented
from landing their cargoes and that
II any attempt was made to stop
their shipment out of Puerto Mexico
for the interior, il would be con-
strued by Huerta as an act of war,
and a violation of the implied
armistice now In effect.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Danger OF
complications in the Mexican situa-
ton by landing of munitions of war
for Dictator Huerta at Puerto Mexico
from two German ships was averted
this afternoon. Secretary of State
Bryan announced that he had receiv-
ed a message from Consul Rogers at
Havana, stating that the arms aboard
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie variously
reported at or near Puerto Mexico,
would be returned to Germany, and
that agents of the vessel have recon-
mended the same treatment for mu-
nitions aboard the Bavaria, another
German vessel due at the same port
on the 18th.
Bryan did not state whether the
German government had interviewed
to stop sending of this war material
TO Huerta, or whether the act was
a voluntary one by the steamship
companies
II was admitted, however, that the
return of the arms will ease a situa-
tion that had been regarded by army
officers as exactly similar TO that eN-
istinR at Vera Cruz before the Amer

DECLINE OF RIVER AND BAY
FISH CAUSES AGITATION

The great decline in the numbers Of
shad and sturgeon caught the past few
years has impressed many that some
thing should be done nationally TO con.
serve the food fish supply, says The
Pennsgroye Record. Sturgeon fishing,
which used to be profitable industry
on the Delaware River and Bay is now
abandoned except by few The scare
ity Of fish caught has caused the price
Of the raw roe TO 20 from 80 cents up
TO from Sl.75 TO " pound and the
meat in the rough carcass to from to
10 cents pound, double what it used
to be.
The scarcity of shad has Kept th'
wholesale price this year up to from
$40 to $50 a hundred in May when they
should be abundant at half that price
to the consuming public as formerly.
What the causes are for decrease are
discussed by many and different reasons
given. The government for years has
had a shad Matching steamer in the
Delaware and millions of try were
Matched and put into the waters where
the fish are presumed TO return to de-
posit their eggs after they have grown
to maturity. Ii was thought for many
years that the Matching produced great
results, but during the last few years
the numbers OF shad caught have great
IL decreased. notwithstanding the arti-
fetal Matching.
Undoubtedly the increased flow OF
sewage from cities has contaminated
the waters much, but much more has
the chemical poisons from factories.
Some most interested in the fishing
industry for years believe that the
oil which escapes from the large stor-
age tanks at Marcus Hook, and the
dregs pumped from the holds OF the
large oil tank steamers float upon the
surface of the water and undoubtedly
kill millions OF shad fry before they
reach the ocean.
Another reason assigned for the de-
creased food fish supply in the bays
and rivers is the great increase in
catches made in the huge pound nets
along the Atlantic coast. These traps
are built on shoals in the ocean from
one to three miles from the shore. A
few years ago there were only a few
on the Jersey coast, now there are
scores, There are about t25 all told
along the Atlantic coast. With so
many trops to catch the fish which
go on the ocean shoals where the
water is warmer and for a supply OF
food, and an almost continuous line
of gill nets in the bays and rivers.
is it any wonder that so few shad

products. Peas, which have been sell
ing at quarter quarter" for the
last few weeks, are now to be had
at - cents quarter peck. They are

nearby peas arrive. The next stage in
the approach Of the produce to the
home grown variety will be the arri-
val Of the Norfolk "truclS, which will
begin within the next ten days.
Beans Of crisp freshness are com
ing in rapidly and selling now at 10
cents. They will drop to 10 and s
cents when the local fields yield their
crops, but at this season is cents is
considered cheap. Both garden wax
and the green string varieties are TO-

Other vegetables show greater
abundance and lower prices, too.
Florida cymlings are only nickel
apiece and they are about the freshest
and most tempting looking things in
all the length and breadth OF King
street.
There are some fine big carrots Of
the late winter crop that are selling
at only s cents, and some Of the
freshest, tender young beets ever
shlped TO market are procurable at s
and 10 cents.
There is o fine lot Of new slaw cab
bagc, green and grassy lokoing, but the
price Is high in comparison with the
winter cabbage that is still available.
A head OF the new cabbage costs 10 TO
Is cents
Caulilower is almost all gone and
none Of the new crop has vet arrived,
but eggplants from Florida, al ldone up
IN tissue paper wrappings, are TO be

high prices still asked for them

largest.
Tomatoes are cheaper aud more
edible-looking than at amy time this
season. They are still coming from
Florida and are still incased in tissue
paper wrappers, but the price has drop

really delicious tomatoes may be had
Lettuce and celery are in poor sup

other green's TO hel pout the supply OF
real spring stuff
New potatoes are getting so
plentiful and so big and ripe that
their newness is not apparent There
are still some tiny Early Rose pota-
toes of pinkish hue and dainty flavor

Trout is the most popular fish next
to shad and both varieties are in good
supply. Shad roe is cmly 80 cents
