to understand the real worth OF this
little producer.
Commercial development of the-possl-
bilities in mohair growing, however, is
rapidly removing this neglect, and the
goat is becoming recognized as one OF
the important and productive farm ami
mails in the Americas. Mexico has for
year been utilizing goats for milk sup
ply, but has given no attention to breed
mohairing for mohair or improving the
quality of the stock. On the other hand
with less than four hundred head OF
!, imported stock to build upon, North
America has increased its Angora flocks
to several millions. South America has
/ little but common stock though herds
are extensive. Canada has been rapidly
increasing the number of goats on the
farms and in domestic surroundings. 1t
, may therefore be expected that the goat
| is at last coming to be recognized gen
orally in the Americas as it has been
! long valued in the Old World.
Angora goat culture in the United
States has been carried on commercially
in the western states since 1890. Origin.
al importations came to this country as
early as 1849. In 1848 the Sultan Of Tur.
key presented nine pnre-bred Angoras
from the best flocks in Asia to DR.. J. B
Davis, who had been sent as a diplo-
matte representative from the United
States government to the Ottoman EN-
.pire These were the first goats import
ed to the United States. Subsequent
breeding flocks Of small numbers were
j brought at intervals thereafter up to
1893 when the industry may be said to
| have become somewhat established. Lat
! er importations have been Of small mum
hers and there have been scarcely any
| Angoras brought to this country recent
: ly, the latest noted being in 1889. En-
barge was placed on expectation from
South Africa and the Sultan Of .Tur
key made it an offense punishable by
death to take Angoras out of his EN-
'pire.
! In spite of this fact, one Californian
| q young physician, DR.. W. c. Bailey

brought out few goats at great cx
pense.

American flocks.

Game hunters have found the Rocky
mountain goat one of the most elusive
and most difficult animals to secure. 1t
inhabits the higher regions of the back
bone of the continent and, while be-
longing to the goat species, is individual
and may be classed as sub-genera. Its
woolly fleece is softer than that of the
common or short-haired goat, but is
characterized by long straight hair.
There is found under the hair close
coat of fine white wool. Some breeders
have suggested cross of this goat on
the Angora, but it has been impossible
to secure bucks of this species. If there
are any in captivity, the writer has no
knowledge Of them.
1t has been stated that Angoras were
first kept as household pets, and de.
rived gentleness from this method of
domestication. The beauty and sickness
Of their fleece induced the women of the
household to weave fabrics of the hair
and to use it for cushions, pillows and
beds, before it became staple for com
mercial purposes.
Today the principal uses for mohail
are for car-seat plush upholstery, tapes
tries, auto robes, auto tops and dress
goods. The list Of other purposes fol
which it is available and employed is
very large and the yarns spun from An
CORA fleece are the most beautiful OBJ
tainable.
Industrially considered, goats are
productive of mohair, milk, meat anf
skins. Even the long straight hair Of
the milk goat is utilized commercially.
Their value as browsers and land
cleaners has been proved, although tht
mistake has been made Of thinking An
goras capable of getting their own liv
ing without food or shelter in severe
weather and losses have resulted, with
consequent impression that goats were
llnprofitable stock on brush range

Given the average care accorded Il
sheep, however, they have been founc
equally, productive. Good sheds should

be provided where long snow periods
are experienced, and feeding is essen
tial when snow covers the ground.
Goats flesh is generally undistinguish-
Teble from mutton Of the sheep, and large
quantities are supplied annually and alb
sorbed in the markets of the United
States without creating any adverse
comment, or even being recognized as
goat meat. In fact its agreeable taste
and high food value render it in no way
inferior to sheep meat. Increasing guam.
titles are marketed each year. Young
does or wethcrs prepared before the
iage Of five years are excellent. Kid
meat is superior to lamb in tender and
Juicy quality. Goat meat is procurable
lin many portions of the globe where
other meat is not.
The Angora is pioneer, in the1sense
that it goes ahead of other live stock

crops. In many new countries settle
ment would have been impossible with,
out the goat.
!, In the Southwestern States large
flocks of Angoras are maintained,
Texas having nearly as many goats as
sheep on its ranges. Fifteen thousand
in the Arizona, county were sheared in
! 1917.
The Department of Agriculture has
published several farmer s bulletins on
the subject of Angoras, that numbered
1873 being the most useful. The branch
of this department having the forest
service in hand is keeping special graz
ing examiners in the field studying
flock management, methods Of care and
breeding, 'grazing on forest areas, elm
Iination Of marauding animals, restock-

Goats and ibexes are of the same
genera. Closely resembling each other
IN some points, they are yet of distinct
types. Wild goats Of the Pyrenees
mountains between Spain and France
are of the ibexes. The largest and hand
ssmest of wild goats are found in Cen
traI Asia. 1t is from these animals that
che modern goat was derived. The
autobiography of the goat is confined to
few volumes, but naturalists and other
authorities on the subject apparently
agree that the goat is of earlier origin
than the sheep.
Two general designations distinguish
0ne from the other: capra (goat) and
Gvis (sheep). He who tries to trace back
the origin Of each species find himseir

goat whose habitat was between the
Black Sea and the Himalayis. 1t seems
probable that all goats of today wexu
evolved from common and very re-
mdte ancestral stock.
The mohair goats of Armenia are con-
sidered to have resulted from inter
breeding various types of goats, the
Kurdestan goat being crossed upon the
smaller and finer haired goat Of the
Angora district, in order to secure more
body in the animal and more weight
and strength in the fleece.
Domestic or milking goats are consid-
cred to have originated likewise from
the wild goat (capra Aegagrus), al.
though the Encyclopedias Brittanica
says: Considerable diversity of opin
ion has been expressed by naturaists as
to the original stock of the domestic
goat, which is met with in nearly every
quarter Of the globe-the now prevalent
and most probable conclusion being that
the various domestic breeds are descend.
ed from wild stock now extinct.

vaudeville and burlesque shows, and
in certain kinds of operas elderly
people are made to appear foolish

possible things their alleged imitators

in the audience, and the artist

very considerable minority of those
who sat silent were either Inundated

This sort of thing does an incalcul-

a considerable amount of truth in it
and they sometimes lose respect for
those whom they formerly honored.

No actor has a right to injure or
insult any group of people merely for
the sake of getting a laugh.
But American audiences may help
stop this buffoonery. The owners and
managers of theatres are very sensi-
tive to public opinion, and some
times a letter addressed to the man
ager in q respectful fashion will re-
suit in the offending actor receiving

way to help clean up other forms of

RHYMES
Melancholy Days
BY A MA S o N

On this broad continent, somewhere, the warmth of spring
is in the air, and doodads are in bloom but where l live the
winds are bleak, and drearly the heavens leak, and all is
wrapped in gloom. Somewhere the skies are blue and bright,
and mockngbirds sit up all night to sing their sweet refrain;
but here the north wind has an edge that pierces like an iron
wedge, and frost is on the plain. And there will be long months
Of snow, and many weary storms will blow, before we see the
spring, before that season we behold when blossoms bright
adorn the world, and umpty-doodles sing. And so, distressed,
upon a time, I heave a sigh for some bright cline where skies
are always bright, till 1 reflect, I'm such a land the pesky flies
are never canned, and chiggers always bitel' If I am prone
to ~grumbing here, I'd be distraught where skies are clear,
and balmy breezes blow; I'd grow accustomed to the sights, to
perfect days and scented nights, and dig up some cheap woe.
