RAISING ANG0RA GOATS.
Animals Require About the Same Care
as a Flock Of Sheep,

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-
tictent 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 APP
pears as tender shoots. which. If left
to themselves for a few seasons, con-
vert these cleared or logged off lands
back again into a wilderness. This
type OF land furnishes an excellent
feeding ground for Angoras.
The number of goats required per
mere is very difficult to calculate. So
much depends upon the nature. charac-
ter and density of the underground
that Il definite statement cannot be CIV
en-. 1t is generally estimated that from
four to six goats per acre will in two
to three seasons conyert 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 will 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

ing the coming winter. Much depends
Oh the Belgian harvest. But it is GER
tain that the commission. which has
undertaken to supply the Belgian non
combatants with food until the war
ends. has before 1t perhaps the most
arduols part of its work-most arduons
because. although the first enthusiastic
wave of sympathy for the stricken
country. which made the collection Of
donations little more than the sending
OF acknowledgements, has had a year to
lose It's original ardor, the task is just
as big as ever.
Sixty thousand tons Of food have to
be sent every month and over 1000. 600
people fed who have no means to pas
for anything. This means a minimum
of 100000 a month to be raised, and
It Is not expected the commissions
present funds can last much longer.
In one respect the work will be much
easier than it was last year. The or
%ganization of the commission is COM
plete and we'll nigh perfect. Its com
mittee has become accustomed to
smooth and harmonious cooperation,
and its agents have been established
in every center of distribution. The
problem thus is merely that of getting
the food instead of getting it and then
getting it to the people of Belgium.

Prepare For Russian Winter.

Budapest, Oct. II. In consequence
OF the feverish activity on the eastern
front n gains the impression that the
war In this theater Is to be brought al
most to Il conclusion before winter, and
with this aim In view tremendous sac
rif1ces are being made.
The rainy season is about to begin,
and in a month the Russian winter
and the suffering it brings will stare
the armies in the face. The devastat-
ed and burned country will then make
itself felt. The Kutushov system can
be laughed at now. but not so through
out n Russian winter. That is why
every ounce of strength is being now
got out of the armies. How they will
manage 1t nobody knows, but they are
determined TO manage 1t somehow.
Great efforts are being made for q
winter campaign. Last winters ex.
perience proved sickness and frostbite
are dangerous enemies, and in conse-
quence large orders have been placed
for wool lined coats and thick wooden
boots, and all tailors and clothing
houses are busily engaged in prepar.
ing the winter clothes of soldiers.

:MoLTING PERIOD OF FOWLS

The New York State College OF Agri-
culture has made some interesting
findings regarding the melting period
of fowls. These may be summarized
as follows:
The hen feathers more quickly in
parts.
From the incubator to the laying
period chicks experience at least four
moltings, either partially or COM
pletely.
Hens frequently lay during the sum-
dom during the general melting.
Young hens mott more quickly than
older ones.
Hens melting very late mott In less
time than those melting earlier.
Hens melting very late give a higher
yearly production than those melting
earlier.
Hens lose in weight while melting.
B%roodiness appears to retard mott
ing,
Starving the hens appears to in
| crease broOdiness.
Hens melting early resume produc-
| ton more quickly after melting than
those molting later.
Hens melting early lay more eggs
! during early winter than hens melting
late.

industrial Accidents.

Washington. Oct. 13.-An important
bulletin OH the statistics of industrial
accidents by Frederick l.. Hoffman has
just been issued by the United States
department Of labor. The New York
Medical Record says liz part:
The abolition Of the principle of
workmen's compensation by more than
half Of the states within the last few
years emphasizes the Importance Of
the industrial accident problem and
foreshadows the time when such COM
pensation for Industrial accidents will
become universal throughout the Unit
cd states.
"As one method OF measuring this
Importance the bulletin presents an es-
innate of the number of fatal and non
fatal accidents occurring among Amer
lean wage earners in n single year.
1.-The conclusion reached is that the
number Of fatal Industrial accidents
among American wage earners, includ-
ing both sexes, may be cons%ervatively
estimated ut $4,000 and the number OF
injuries involving a disability Of more
than four weeks. using the ratio of
Austrian experience, at approximately
100000.
"These numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
of industrial accidents, for such studies

and the open shed where the cows find
shelter at night, but l can't see any
thing superior"
The few words from his remarks,
"The small place where milking Is
DONE" very nearly tell the story of
the production Of clean milk on that
farm. The cows are clean and they
are MIXED in a clean milking room.
The milk Is handled in clean vessels
and Is kept cool. The separate milk
Ing room Is the big factor wherein
the clean milk dairy excels the others.
Being used for less than two hours
each milking period, it does not be-
come dirty at any time. The milking
room is constructed strictly with re.
gard to the production of clean milk.
Cement floors, cement cutters, cement
hangers. cement walls with water
forced through a tank provide for
cleanliness and sanitation. An almost
solid row Of windows encircling the
little building provides for sunlight
d%isinfection.
The unassuming owner has wonder
ful faith in his separate milking room.
he says that a clean milking place
does much to insure clean milk.
The reports Of the inspector and the
comments Of satisfied patrons speak
volumes for the results Of his effort
His method IS no impractical fad. AS
the man quoted above said, 1.-THE clean
milk dairy does not have one-fifth a.
much invested in buildings as some OF
the Others" There is an idea in the
plan worked out so successfully tina,
1t Is worthy of thought. Possibly there
Is something in it worthy Of emula

War Hits Swiss Hotels.

Geneva, Oct. 18.-Bereft Of tourist
patronage by the war, the Swiss hotel
keepers in convention assembled have
appealed to the government for relief.
They want a state system of mortgages
On furniture in inns and a delay of two
years after the end Of hostilities for
the payment Of interest on the mort
cages.
There are about 1000 tourist hotels
in Switzerland, employing $4,000 peo-
pie, with a yearly wage list of $780,
600, and 1921, 10000 capital is invested
in the business.
More than $1o0,O0O,00O was spent by
tourists in Switzerland in 1913, Of
which $1,O0O,O00 went for postage
stamps and souvenir cards, 100000
was spent for kilograms and phone
talks. 81. 100000 was taken by the rail-
roads for fare and freight. and the
balance. less a comparatively small
amount for customs duties, was got by
the hotels and shops in the proportion
of eight to two.
These estimates are the official ones
made public at the national exposition
at Berne.
English. French. German and Amer
lean travellers make GO per cent Of the
Swiss tourist trade. The war came
early enough in the summer Of 1914 to
reduce the hotel receipts 40 per cent.

SAVE THE POTATO CROP.
Late Blight and Rot FUNGUS Now Pre-.
vajlinq In Ohio.

Late Blight and Hot Fungus Now Pre-
vaiiing In Ohio.
[Ohio agricultural experiment station.l
The late blight and rot fungus of DO
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.
II, 1904: July %, 1905; Aug. 0, 1906,
and Aug. 13 and IA. 1912. Should the
season continue, as heretofore. with
cool weather or be very moist 1t is
feared the injury to the late crop may
prove to be very great, even exceeding
that Of 1908.
This disease works very rapidly and
is distinguishable from the other dying
Of potato leaves by the mildew-ljke or
frosted appearance Of the under por-
tion of the diseased parts of leaves.
This late blight and rot of potatoes
may be prevented by spraying fire.
%quently with strong bordeaux mixture,
made with four to six pounds Of blue
vitriol and four to six pounds of lime
to fifty gallons Of water, the spraying
to begin Immediately. This spray re-
quires to be repeated ut eight to ten
day intervals until the crop is matured.
In 1906 spraying a. above gave a gain
of forty to forty-tive bushels of mar
ketable potatoes to the acre upon the
late crop. -Four to six sprayings may
vet be required on very late paintings.
Under conditions such as have charac-
teriZed the season of 1915 delay in
spraying treatment Is most unwise.
The rot Of tubers follows the leaf dy-
ing. Instructions for making and mp
plying the spray are contained in the
Spray Calendar, bulletin 2332. which
will be sent upon application.
For these later applications Of the
spray about 100 gallons per acre or
even more will be required for effec-
tive covering Of leaves. With an or
binary four row sprayer it will lie
wise to 90 twice over the field. moving
in the opposite direction the second
time. after the first spray has dried.

dom Will corn and cane be ready

Corn is usually ready several
weeks before cane has reached
the proper stage Of maturity.
The mixing OF the two crops un-
der these circumstances would
not increase the value Of the re-
sulting silage, and, in addition,
the labor of filing would likely
be increased. The best results
will come from putting the corn
into the silo when 1t has reached

We've Biggest Tonnage Since 1868.
Washington. Oct. 1S.-The American
flag now floats owe 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
crease in American shipping for the
year ended June 30. On that date
there were registered in the foreign
trade 2.7GS ships. totaling 1,S13.775
gross tons. al increase Of 6 ships and
1903 tons for the year..
Practically all the increases are due
to the new American registry law.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the de-
partment of said IL a state.
ment today:
This is about triple tn. increase in
registered tonnage for any previous
year in American history. Our regis
tered tonnage Is now much greater
thnn at any time since 1868. when we
had 2,02C,114 gross tons in foreign
trade. 1t is many times more efficient,
however, as the steam tonnage now
amounts to 1928, OCT gross tons, while
in 1868 it amounted to only 1925
tons.
1.-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 tom
flags. British tonnage. Of course, is
more than tenfold greater"
