NEW OCCUPATION FOR GOAT
Billy and Nanny May Be Profitably
Employed in Clearing Away the
impeding Underbrush.

The monkey cotton picker was never
an entire success. The monkey could
pick the cotton, but 1t cost more to
provide human direction to guide his
efforts than the negro cotton pickers
asked for the whole job, picking, direct
ing and all. But the AngOra goat as a
clearer of land requires no direction.
Just string few strands of harbed
wire around the land to be cleared so
that Mr.. and Mrs. Goat and the kids
shall not clear the land that is not to
be cleared and they will do the Job
without even casual suggestion from
the land Owenr.
The success which has attended the
raising of Angora goats in the rugged
Ozark country of southwestern Nilsson
ri has suggested to specialists of the
department of agriculture that it might
be equally profitable to place such
herds on many other wild tracts, par
ticularly those which have been cut
over, because these goats are proving
of great help in clearing away under
brush. Growing mOhair and producing
kids, the Angoras in the Ozarks are
also trimming down the brush, manur-
ing the hills and preparing the way
for grass, cattle and sheep.
According to reports secured by "a,
representative of the state college of
agriculture in Missouri, the Angoras
required to clear an acre of land
varies from two to five, depending on
the density and size of the brush.
