Suppose I should fashion you Loves

 Spring shines through, And hill beyond, where the sun

 With vio1ets marching in. wind

ANGORA GOAT RAISING
IN THE UNITED STATES
Price For MOhair Steady and There is
Always Market For PrOduct-In-
duStry Growing RaIsidly.

Angoras goat raising has developed
into an immense and important indus
try in this country, according to a bull
letin on the subject just issued by the
Department of Agriculture. A few
years ago it was questioned whether
the goat was going to be a success
here, though as early as 1906 there
were considerable herds through New
England and the West and some of
the animals sold for good prices.
Almost twenty years ago Turkey
prohibited the export of an angora
goat for breeding purposes, n i'm
mediately thereafter South Africa did
the same, the idea being to make the
raising Of mOhair a monopoly in these
two countries. They were too late,
however, as was h case with South
Africa in prohibiting the export Of
ostriches. Both industries have got
ten a foothold in this country and the
angora goat as early as 1906 was rec
ogniZed a. an economic factor. In
fact, in that year the sweepstake buck
at the Kansas CitNz stockyards sold
for 81, 500. This was considered an
immense price at the time, but sinc
then the price for breeding animals
has greatly increased. At the Ell Paso
show last year the sweepStack bucks
sheared a fleece averaging twenty
inches in length and weighing 1877
DOunuS Inc average WClShN VI Liz
Texas fleece in the same year was
little less than two pounds. One rea-
| son for the light weight of these
| southern fleece is hat the weather is
so hot that there is danger of their
shedding during the Conse-
quently they are sheared twice a year
The average for the Montana fleeces,
where they are sheared only once a
year, is about three pounds.
There is imported into this country
each year 100000 pounds Of mo-
hair wool. The native clip is abOu,
5000, 900 pounds. The quality of the
native wool is said to be equal to the
imported, although as a rule it bring:
a slightly lower price. The price FOL
domestic mohair runs from AZ to D.
cents a pound. Usually the domestic
wool is mixed with the imported fol
spinning purposes
One Of the chief uses Of goat Hock!
in the Northwest and Southwest Is II
keeping down undertrush. At thi
they are very adept. and it is said tina
they work and pay for their board a
the same time. In some OF the ma
t;onal forests f1ocks of h goats ar
kept to eat the u~nderbrush along tn
spaces that have been cleared for FIR
lines. and one of the big interurba'
street car lines in the West has a BIZ
6ocl, of the goats it has bought t
keen its r~ight-of-way brOwSed clear.
One advantage in raising goats a
q business now is that there are man,
more uses for mohair than formeri
was the case The price is steadle
and there is always a market for a.
that can be raised. +
