GOATSPAY MORTGAGES
THEY CLEAN UP UNDERsRusH

Animals Are Naturally Browsers and

(By GEORGE H. DACY, Copyright, 1sl4l
Angora goats are profitable wage
earners. They clean up underbrush,
destroy weeds, yield profitable meat
and mohair and improve soil fertility
on a minimum of feed and care. They
are also naturally browsers and relish
underbrush and weeds In preference
to luxuriant pasturage. Without feed
other than what they rustic, grade
Angoras will produce from three to six
pounds of mohair per animal each
year, which sells on the market at
from IS to so cents per pound. Well
cared for pure breds often yield as
high as ten or twelve pounds Of mo-
hair to shearing, while f1eeces OF spe-
cial luster and over fifteen or eighteen
inches In length sometimes bring as
high as S. or Sc 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 four to six and half
cents pound. The manure Of the
goat rivals that Of sheep as tonic
for ailing soils.
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 couplesof years to-
ward retaining the idle land. 1t ia

field to another 30 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 a

with the task OF cleaning the land

Farmers can usually buy good CROSS
bred flocks at from $3.50 to 35 per an
imal. Pure bred bucks COST from go
to $50 apiece, while fufl blooded does

The utility Of the Angora hinges
around his ability to perform valuable
work at cut price costs. Goats abhor
wet or swamp land as well as inclem.

SOIL RoBBING IS IMMORAL
Poverty and Social IlIs Go With Wear
Ing Out Of Land-Frenoh and
Belgian Farmers Prosper.

:
No nation ever has survived, nor can
survive, the decline of its agriculture.
The decline of the Roman republic be-
gan when its farmers moved to town
and had their lands cultivated by
slaves. France and Belgium prosper
because they are nations of small far
mers, who cultivate their land to its
utmost limit. England and Ireland
are prospecting because there Is no
such thing In either country as worn
out land. America, notwithstanding
Its almost nmitless resources, can
scarcely feed its own people much
longer.
We need not go far to see the i'm
morality Of soil robbing, says Wal
lace's Farmer. If farm in any 10
cality becomes worn out, even though
that wearing out be little more than
the exhaustion OF the humus material
In the soil. 1t must expect to have a
poor tenant For good tenant, who
understands his business, will not
waste his time farming WORKOUT land.
He may undertake to restore It; but
If he is wise, 1t viii be done at the
expense Of the owner.
The rule, as illustrated in thousands
OF instances. is that the poorer tenants
get the poorer land. Having poor land.
they must continue to be poor, which
means that they lose standing In the
community. They are not able to edu-
cate their children; they are not able
to live as other farmers live. When
this becomes general In any township.
1t means that the schools in that town
ship are poor. It means that the
churches dwindle in membership, and
finally pass out. 1t means that immor-
atty becomes common even In the
sports of the young people. It means.
in short. lack OF social influence and
of political influence on the part OF
the farmers. These are the penalties
for soil robbing, which nature imposes
with absolute certainty and unfailing
accuracy:

RAat Soil for Alfalfa

Alfalfa seems to do best on sandy
loan soils that have good supply OF
plant food and are well drained.
though It has been known to have
grown in heavy clay soil. It will do
well on any soil that viii produce
wheat or corn.
The field designed for alfalfa should
be selected with the view of leaving
1t for several years. The plant seems
to reach its prime in four years and
can, as rule, be left in field profit

ficulty is experienced in getting alfalfa
out Of the field, If it is SO desired. If a

had been wounded in the leg at the
battle Of the Aisne and q few hours
prior to his starting once more. for

count Of his experiences.

along the Aisne, getting it red hot
from the Germans" he said. From II
hill in the distance their guns were
pouring a deadly fire on us and it
seemed as if it would never cease. We
saw white puffs Of smoke rise against
the gray sky, then great shells burst
around us or screamed overhead.
Felt Like Screaming.
The din was enough to drive one
clean out Of ones mind: more than
once I, felt like screaming. Do not
think, I was. frightened, for. I wasn't,
but still ] didn't feel as high spirited
as my comrades; perhaps it vas be-
cause I am only a youngster. Since 1

ports may be true, but I very much
doubt it.

every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to .disordered condition of the

foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by ennching the blood
