Ranch.

as to secure proper and uniform utili-
cation of the forage. The divisions
should be protected from grazing ex-
cept during the seasons determined
upon. On successive parts of the sum-
mer and fall range grazing should be
deferred until after seed maturity of the
forage plants SO as to insure proper
revegetation. On winter range the for
age close to the sheds should be re-
served for stormy periods only.
The old practice of bedding the goats
ON the same bed ground every night
in the year prevents proper manage
ment of the range and results in over
grazing, in uneven utilization of the
forage and general depreciation of the
range. This in turn has a bad effect
on the condition Of goats and the pro-
duction of meat and mohair. The use
of many bed grounds widely distribut-
ed over the range aids materially in
improving the quality and quantity of
the forage, reducing the trailing and
driving of the goats, and securing bet
ter growth of goats and mohair. The
ideal system is to bed the goats wher-
ever night overtakes them, and it is
this system, called the ''bedding-out"
system, that growers of goats are
urged to adopt whatever practicable
The bedding-out system cannot be
strictly adhered to during kidding, dur
fng periods of stormy winter weather,
nor just after shearing; but its use at
other times is practicable and it has
many advantages.
Range to be suitable for goats should
possess a mixture OF browse, grasses,
and weeds, be free from continued
heavy rains and SHOWS, and be well
supplied with bed grounds and water
ing places. Browse furnishes most OF
the range feed for goats throughout
the year, so that it should be abundant.
Grass and weeds are necessary for
does and kids during the spring and
summer, and are of considerable value
at all times to give variety to the for
age.
Plenty of fresh palatabIe feed has
marked beneficial effect on mohair pro-
dGction, growth of the goats, and the
proportion OF kids raised. It also re-
duces the proportion of losses. There
fore, instead of overstocking a range
with inferior goats, the producer
should stock it with the number of
high-grade goats which it can conserv-
atiYely carry.
The range goat should be the large,
welI-built, early maturing Angora, pro-
ducing large quantity of fine mOhair-
The body and chest should be relative
~ broad and deep, the back wide and
straight, the thighs full, the ribs well
sprung, and the legs short, strong, and
set wide apart. Such AngOraS make
possible a substantial revenue from
two sOurceS-mohair and meat
The does should be uniform, Of good
size, have good constitutions, be good
producers Of mohair, and should pro-
duce sufficient milk to insure proper
growth OF their kids. The bucks should
more nearly approximate the ideal
than the does. They should be large
and vigorous and should produce a
large quantity Of high-quality mOhair.
Only those Wethers which produce
very large quantity OF fine mohair
should be retained in the herd after
they are two years old.

The woolly beast was the fur cap Of

which a little blood had flowed. The

Her gray eyes, black in the gaslight,
stared into niue, and there was nei-
ther fear nor recognition in them. She
was fully dressed, and the bed had
not been occupied.
I flung myself at her feet. I took
the weapon from her hand. "Jacque-

hands to my lips and caressed them.
She seemed quite unresponsive.

prepared by the United States Depart

The production OF more mohair and
meat can be obtained in raising goats
on the range by following a plan OF
grazing which viii give the vegetation
a chance to grow sufficiently TO main
tain itself. Most goat ranges are used
throughout the year. This and the
general practice Of driving the goats
out from a corral at the ranch head
quarters and back every day for
months or throughout the year have
been largely responsible for deteriora-
ton Of the range. An excellent method
of giving the forage a proper oppor-
tunity for growth is to divide the range
into three areaS-one for spring, an
other for summer and fall, and a third
for winter.
The number and distribution of the
goats on these divisions should be such

In comparative report issued by the
United States Employment Service, IL is
shown that, following the armistice and
I'D to December q, the demand for fe-
male labor suffered a marked decrease.
Beginning with the week following the
latter date, however, both demand and
supply showed upper tread throughout
the country. AZ the close Of the week
ending December 2i. the demand for
this class of labor had fallen, approx
mately, to $4,000 and the supply to &c.
900. The tide turned, the figures show,
with the beginning Of the next week, at
the close Of which, December %, the
demand was, approximately 5000; sup
ply. 1900.
The heaviest demand for female labor
in any given week is placed at $4,000
for the week during November ?, at
which time the supply stood at $1,000,
and from about that date up to Decem-
Der 2s, the demand exceeded the supply
by about 1900.
There is indicated in the same report
a net increase Of 5,739 in the male reg

Mass. He was graduated from Har-
Harvard In 1851, shortly afterward
entering the employ OF a rich uncle
upon whose death he Inherited an
estate Of $4,000 pounds. He was sew
err times elected 10 the Massachu-
setts General court and was elected
president OF the Continental Con
press In 1855. He was fair scholar
and an orator of no mean ability,
but his great patriotism was the
most potent factor of his life. Many
people think that he was the great
est American patriot who ever lived
for the singular fact that he was
the first signer OF the Declaration OF
Independence. When pardon was Of
