He is always such a gen

whether | am right or

is the right thing.
My parents object to my
seeing any young men
friends, and they expect me
to sit at home evenings and
read the paper. They say
II is not the right thing to
go out with young men.
Now, Miss Grey, 1 have
never done anything that is
the least out of the way, and
have always and can truth
fully say that | have been
straight, and when | go out
with a young man friend /
always act like a perfect
lady and am highly respected
by them. At home they re-
fer to the young men as
"beaus," your fellow" and
all such names as that. Now
what | want to know is, has
not any girl the right to as
sociate with men friends as
well as women, and are men
such vicious animals that
we must have an iron cage
around us to keep safe? Why
did God create men? Why
didn't He create all women
so that we may not see
men or associate with him?
Ism. it perfectly natural for
young men and women to
mingle together and have
good times, or are they to
stay separate? l am twenty

HE raising of Angora goats in the
United States is now a demonstrat.

THE raising of Angcra goats in the
United States is now demonstrat-
cd success, according to report
just published by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, under the title,
"The Angora Goat Farmers Bulletin
573. The industry, says the bulletin, is
indeed so well established here that
growers need not be Inconvenience by
the action of South America in prohib.
iting the expectation Of Angoras, for
the quantity of good blood in this coun-
try is already sufficient to meet all re
quirements. In the opinion of experts
the best American fleeces now equal
any grown in South Africa or Asia Mi
nor, the original home of the Angora.
Although nearly every state in the
Union now possesses its flocks, the
Southwest and the Northwest are espe-
cially well adapted to the industry, in
particular the large areas recently log.
ged off 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. Thus it
is often seid that the Angora works and
pays for its board at the same time.
Value of Fleece Increasing.
1t is paying more and more, for the
value of the fleece or mohair is inereas
ing steadily. Formerly the use of mo-
hair depended so largely upon the pre-
yailing fashion that its price varied
widely from year to year. This condi
tion, however, is rapidly changing as
new uses for mohair are continually
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 fleeces bringing on an av
erage from AZ to 55 cents pound. The
weight Of fleece has very wide
range, in 1909 the average for Oregon
was found to be 81 pounds and for Tex
as 1856. On account of the greater heat,
however, and the damage of shedding,
Angoras in the Southwest are frequently |
shorn twice a year-a fact which must
be taken into consideration in all cal |
culations.
This practice Of clipping twice year
is in many ways drawback to the in
dustry, since it tends to lower the aver
age grade of American mohair Mohair
as good as any can be and is grown in
this country, but the average quality is
not today considered to be as good as the
foreign. About 100000 pounds are an
nually imported. Ordinarily this is
blended and spun with the domestic
product. Six inches is the shortest
length of fleece usually desired, and
because of shearing twice a year, much
Texas and New Mexico mohair falls be-
low this standard. Where the fleece is
allowed to grow for twelve months the
average length is 10 inches, and in the
best flocks it is not unusual to get 10
to 20 inches. Romeo the sweepstakes
buck at the FL Paso show in 1910 is an
example of what is possible. His fleece
weighed eighteen pounds, measured
twenty and three fourths inches in
length and sold for S1l5, Such fleece is

west find the Angora most serviceabIe
in browsing off the brush on their new
lands, and one railway company pur.
chased flock to keep its rightof way
clear and attractive. On very rough
land the danger of injury to the fleece
must, however, be kept in mind.
Importations Not Needed.
AS has already been said, the Angora'
can be bred sufficiently pure for prac-
tieal purposes from the stock already in
this country, and there is no need Of
further importations for breeding pur-
poses. Some years ago, however, this
was not believed to be the case, and in
1881 the Sultan of Turkey endeavored
to preserve for his dominion the monop-
oily 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
having been shipped recently to Brazil
and tho Argentine.
Various associations have already
been formed for the development Of the
industry in this country, and the guam
tity Of the annual product is increasing
rapidly.
Never work team Of colts together until
they arc thoroughly broken, as they will
worry each other.

Hgh Birth Rate.

High Birth Rate.
The birtn rate is approximately IS per
cent, but in web managed flocks this
has risen On occasions as high as 100 per
cent. Since the kids are not hardy, it
is obvious that this means skill and In
dustry 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 man
agement 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 Mon
tana the flocks face the heavy snow
falls with equanimity as long as dry
place is provided for them at night, and
though the heat in the Southwest fire.
quently makes it necessary to shear
them twice year in order to prevent
shedding, it does not otherwise affect
the health of the flocks. Dampness,
however, is more injurious than either
cold or heat. High lands is the native
home of all goats, and they invariably
seek it when left to themselves Pure
water is also an essential.
Otherwise the Angora is not particu
lar. 1t will feed with cattle also. AS
a matter of fact, however, the goat pre-
f.rs certain amount of rough pasture
