as to secure proper and uniform utili-
zation 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 oyertakes 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 palatable feed has
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 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
ducing a 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 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 q
very large quantity of fine mohair
should be retained in the herd after
they are two years old.

Yanks Salvage
Immense Booty

every gun they found. broken or in
serviceable condition, as well as all
war material, and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
in army trucks. The colored fighters
reoeived instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch IL, but to put
up little stick beside 1t with a note
SO that the munition salvagers could
find 1t later.
The doughboys soon made the dis
covery that the Germans In their
flight abandoned hundreds of machine
guns and even large pieces Of artillery
which the Yankees. in their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded In Box Cars.
One of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number Of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
In the Argonne forest. No information
was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save In his flight
toward the Rhine. but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one town located in the rear Of
the battlefield there is a pile of brass
shell cases. abandoned by the Ger
mans. that would more than fill the
hold Of a large ocean freighter. 1t
was estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that vii
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Salvage Work Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 per cent
more war booty in the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due, 1t is said, to the rapidity of
the American advance and TO the
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerors.
The work of cleaning up the Ar
gonne battlefield. however, has been an
expensive one, although vast auanti-
ties Of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. 1t has cost more than
S2OO0,000 TO complete the task, but
the work has been a success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.
