RAISING ANGORA GOATS.
Animals Require About the Same Care

Animals Require About the Same Care
as a Flock of.Sheep.
Most parts Of North America where
live stock production prevails are suit
able to the raising of Angoras, espe-
cially If the land Is high and dry the
greater part of the year. They will
Withstand the rigor of even the coolest
winter and do not require any greater
shelter than a shed to protect them
from wind and storm, provided a suf-
ficient quantity of nutritious food and
pure water are supplied. The Angora
goat performs a twofold service in the
scheme of farming. 1t produces a high
grade Of mohair and at the same time
may be used for the destruction Of
underbrush on lands to be broken for
subsequent cultivation.
1t is the common opinion that goats
will not only live but thrive upon
"any old brush" or other rubbish that
may happen to be within their reach.
This may be true to some extent of
the common billygoat, but not Of the
Angora. Angora goats will, however,
thrive upon green leaves and tender
foliage. After the first culling Of trees
has been removed a second crop ap-
pears as tender shoots, which, II left
to themselves for a few seasons. con-
vert these cleared or logged of lands
back again into a wilderness. This
type Of land furnishes On excellent
feeding ground for Angoras.
The number Of goats required per
here is very difficult to calculate. So
much depends upon the nature, charac-
ter and density Of the underground
that a definite statement cannot be CIV
Ell. 1t is generally estimated that from
four to six goats per acre will In two
to three seasons convert a brush area
into a grass pasture suitable for cat
tie, horses or sheep.
1t Is q common opinion that the An
CORA will readily adapt itself to the
most trying climate, feed entirely upon
brush, is immune from all diseases and
p~redacious animals and win yield a
large profit without any care or atten.
ton on the part Of the owner. The
truth of the matter is that although
the most beautiful they are at the
same time the most delicate of all
goats. They are subject to most of the
diseases common to sheep i~nhabiting
the same vicinity-Bulletin Canadian

The late blight and rot fungus Of po-
tato has been collected In practically
all of the potato fields about Wooster,
Aug. DIG. 1915, by representatives Of
the botanical department of the Ohio
experiment station. This has already
made unusual progress under the re-
cent cool, moist weather and certainly
has been at work for a week or more.
The same fungus was collected Aug.
10, 1904; July 25, 1905; Aug. D. 1906.

season continue, as heretofore. with

In 1906 spraying as above gave a gain
Of forty to forty-fye bushels of mar

SERPENT OF LERnAEA.

to the legend. If one was cut of an

The origin of this serpent, as well as
its acts and its final destruction by

When cows are on good pasture 1t
will be found that they will consume
a considerable amount of hay. They
like some dry forage with their succu-
lent feed. Cottonseed meal Is not as
good a supplement TO pasture as corn
meal. Pasture grasses are rich In pro-
tein. and ~cottonseed meal Is rich In
protein. but the COWS need a feed rich
in carbohydrates to supplement pas
ture. Ground corn or barley is a bet

with green sugar cane and oats will

We've Biggest Tonnage Since 1863.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-The American
flag now floats over more ships In the
foreign trade than at any time since
1863.
Figures made public by the depart
ment of commerce show n record In.
creas In American shipping for the
year ended June 80. On that date
there were registered in the foreign
trade 2.76S ships. totaling 1.s13.715
gross tons. an increase of 1868 ships and
1862 tons for the year.
Practically all the increases are due
to the new American registry law.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the de-
partment Of commerce said Ia n state
ment today:
This is about triple the increase In
registered tonnage for any previous
year in American history. Our regis
tered tonnage is now much greater
than at any time since 1868. when we
had 2,026,114 gross tons In foreign
trade. 1t is many times more efficient.
however, as the steam tonnage now
amounts to 1,213,0G7 gross tons, while
in 1868 it amounted to only 1925
tons.
The increase from the ship registry
act of Aug. is, 1914. to June Is, 1915.
was so rapid that tonnage under the
American flag now employed In for
eign trade is nearly equal to such ton
mage under the French o. Norwegian
flags. British tonnage. of course, is
more than tenfold greater"
