assist in the termination Of the seed,
in increasing the stand or in correct
ing detrimental influences that may
be operating in the soil. Their sole
duty is In gathering nitrogen from the
air and turning it over to the plants
on whose roots they grow.
If the soil is deficient in nitrogenous
fertilizers, therefore, they will enable
the legume to make a good growth
and yield. If the soil, on the other
hand, is sour or contains alkali, then
these bacteria will be Of little use.
Again If poor seed is used, or too
much or too little seed is sown the
bacteria will not remedy these trou-
bles.
These bacteria need not be used if
the legumes already growing in any
particular soil show the nodules on
the roots This can be determined by
careful examination Of the roots for
the nodules On them. New ground
is frequently deficient in these bac
terra and they should be applied arti-
ficially. The Idaho Experiment sta
tion will furnish any farmer of Idaho
the proper bacteria at five cents per
acre. which represents about the cost
of production.

CULTURE OF THE MUSHROOM
Particular Work That Many Have
Tried and Falled-Caves or Gel
lars Are Best Suited.

While there is no mystery about
growing mushrooms, 1t is such par
ticular work that many have tried
and failed. After the beds are planted
it is almost entirely question of
right conditions of temperature and
moisture. knowledge of what is
wanted and a careful touch are re-
Quired
The preparation of the beds also
requires skill which comes from eX-
perience in handling manure. Sew
eral weeks are needed to properly mix
and rot the material and it must be
done in warm weather, or in warm
room. Caves or cellars are right
places for this work and the winter
Is the best time. 1t is easier to keep
them warm enough than to keep them
cool enough in summer.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The raising of Angora goats IN the
United States is now demonstrated
success. The industry is indeed so
well established here that growers
need not be inconvenienced by the ac-
ton of South Africa in prohibiting
the expectation of Angoras, for the
quantity of good blood in this country
is already sufficient to meet all re-
uuirements. In the opinion Of experts
the best American feeces now equal
any grown in South Africa or Asia
Minor, the original home OF the An
CORA.
Although nearly every state in the
Union now possesses it's focks, the
Southwest and the Northwest are es-
pecially we'll adapted to the indus
try, in particular the large areas re-
Gently logged of in the Northwest.
There the Angora not only thrives
himself but helps to clear away the
brush which If allowed to grow un-
checked might easily become dan
gerous fire trap. Thus it is often said
that the Angcra works and pays for
its board at the same time.
It is paying more and, more, for the
value of the fleece or mohair Is III
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 grow
er is assured Of a reasonably steady
market The price, of course, varies
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1914-06-17

Iulu CONSIDERATION IN all calculations.
This practise of clipping twice a
year is in many ways 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 two million pounds are annual
" imported. Ordinarily this is blend
ed and spun with the domestic prod
uct. 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 II months, the aver
age length is ten inches and in the
best fiocks it is not unusual to get fif-
teen to twenty 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 2O% inches in
length and sold for Sis. Such fleece
is not, of course. the product of Or
binary commercial conditions. 1t i'm
plies considerable amount of care
and personal attention.
The birth rate is approximately IS
per cent but in well managed tlocks
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 management Of
Angoras does not differ greatly from
that Of sheep.
While the Angora goat needs atten-
tion it is adaptable, and as far as tenn
perature is concerned, should flourish
in any part of the United States. In
Montana the focks face the heavy
snowfalls with equanimity as long as
a dry place is provided for them st
night and though the heat in the
Southwest frequently makes it neces-
sary to shear twice year in order
TO prevent shedding, it does not 9th
erwise affect the health Of the flocks.
Dampness, however, is more injurious
than either cold or heat. High land is
the native home of all goats, and they
invariably seek it when left to them
selves. Pure water is also an essen
tiaL
Otherwise the Angora Is not particu-
lar. 1t will feed with cattle and sheep,
and, though in some danger of being
kicked, with horses also AS matter
OF fact, however, the goat prefers a
certain amount Of rough pasture and
is particularly happy when cleaning
up brush land. There is one instance
of a flock of 600 being allowed free
grazing in a California forest reserve
in order to keep the strips of cleared
land, known as fire breaks, free from
weeds and vegetation. Settlers in
the Northwest find the Angora most
serYiceable in browsing off the brush
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1914-06-17

on their new lands, and one interur-
ban railway company purchased a
flock to keep its right Of way clear
and attractive. On very rough land
the danger of injury to the fleece
must, however, be kept in mind.
AS has already been said, the An
CORA can be bred sufficiently pure for
practical purposes from the stock al
ready in this country and there is
no need of further importations for
breeding purposes. Some years ago,
however, this was not believed to be
the case and in 1881 the sultan OF Tur-
key endearored to preserve for his
dominions the monopoly of the mohair
trade by prohibiting the expectation
OF the live animal. His example was
followed by South Africa, but it was
too late. Some Of the best blood was
already in America and today other
countries are buying of Us, flocks hav-
ing been shipped recently to Brazil
and the Argentine.
Various associations have already
been formed for the development Of
the industry in this country and the
quantity of the annual product is in
creasing rapidly. In 1913 1t Is estt-
mated that 100000 pounds Of mohair
were grown in the United States.
Fuller details of the management and
care of flocks are to be found in
Farmers Bulletin 573, THE Angora
Goat" which will be sent free on ap-
plication to the department of agricul-
ture.
