Dr.. Du Bots
Clues Lecture.

DIR. w. Z. B. Du Bots Of New York
City, editor of the Crisis and secre-
tary Of the recently held Pan AFRICAN
Congress, delivered forceful address
at st. Paul's A. M. Il. church Tuesday
evening to an over-crowded house. The
lecture was given under the auspices OF
the Des Moines branch Of the N. A. A.
G. p. The seating capacity of st. Paul
was over taxed, there being 1000 seated
and many were turned away.
A short program was rendered before
DIR Du Bots was introduced by Hon.
Harvey Ingham, editor Of the Register
and Tribune, who had performed this
same office on a former occasion fifteen
years ago.
DR.. Du Bots severely criticised the
carrying of American prejudice against
the Negro in civilian life to the army
and to the handling of troops in France.
He said, ''Now that the war is over it
is opportune that we find ourselves and
determine what we may have lost or
gained. It is not over stating to say
we have gained much. The Negro has a
better chance to work, and better OPP
portunity to prove that he is an Amer
lean than he had before the war. The
troops made good record wherever
given an opportunity to do so. =
After the lecture refreshments were
served and short reception held in
the church parlors for DR.. Du Bots,
after which he was banqueted by the
Roosevelt Club at the Army Club.
Others present outside Of the club were
! DR.. f. A. Carter and DR.. Willis Of Bux-
ton, Miss Lottie Pearl Mitchell, Mr..
Ebert r. Hall and wife, making total
of 48.
DR.. Du Bots came to Des Moines from
Gary, Indiana, where he spoke, and left
fer Lincoln, Nebr., to deliver another
lecture.

PLAN OF GRAZING FOR GOATS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The production of more mohair and
meat can be obtained in raising goats
on the range by following a plan of
grazing which will give the vegetation
a chance to grow sufficiently to MAIN
tain itself. Most goat ranges are used
throughout the year. This aud 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 d third
for winter.
The number and distribution of the
goats on these divisions should be such

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
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
ing 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 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 1t 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 palatable feed has q
marked beneficial effect ON mohair pro-
duction, growth of the goats, and the
proportion of kids raised. 1t 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-
atively carry.
The range goat should be the large,
well-built, early maturing Angora, pro-
dueing Il large quantity of fine mohair.
The body and chest should be relative
ly broad and deep, the back wide and
straight, the thighs full, the ribs we'll
sprung, and the legs short, strong, and
set wide apart. Such AngoTas make
possible 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
mere nearly approximate the ideal
than the does. They should be large
and vigorous and should produce a.
large quantity of high-quality mohairs.
Only those wethers which produce q
very large quantity of fine mohair
should be retained in the herd after
they are two wears old.
