NEW OCCUPATION FOR GOAT
Billy and Nanny May Be ProfitabIy
Employed In Clearing Away the s
impeding Underbrush. r

The monkey cotton picker was never
an entire success. The monkey could
pick the cotton, but II 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
clearer Of land requires no direction.
Just string Il few strands: of barbed
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 n casual suggestion from
the land owenr. ...
g The success which has attended the
raising of Angora goatS in the rugged
Ozark country of southwestern Missou-
ri has suggested to specialists of the
department of agriculture that 1t 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 q
renresentatiye of the state college OF
agriculture In Missouri. the Angoras
required to clear an acre OF lanu
varies from two to five, depending on
the density and size of the brush.

How MWaIIopn Oriqinated.

An incident of interest in English
and French history occurred In the
year 1914. The French fleet ravaged
the coast of Sussex and burned
Brighthelstone, now Brighton, where
upon Sir John Wallow, one of the best
naval commanders of his time, was
sent by Henry VIII to make reprisals.
In this he succeeded only too well; he
burned 81 French villages, demolished
several harbors, and thrashed the en-
envy to his hearts content. His men,
however, proud of his achievement, de-
clared that they had walloped the
French. Thus there came into the
English language as a synonym for
thrash the new word wallop. -

JlBEs AT MARRIAGE
Writers Of All Ages Seem to Have
Considered Matrimony as Sub
Ject for Humor.

Some Of the pithiest and most anus
ing humor has centered about matri-
mony, William Huntington Wright
says in San Francisco Chronicle. From
Balzac's exhaustive treatise, 1.-THE
Physiology of Marriage" to Dryden's
trivial
AS for women. though we scorr and iout
em, ....-..
We may live with. but cannot live with
out 'em.
we find an almost limitleSS range OF
observations - tragic and farc;cal,
grabbed and good natured, contemptu-
GUS and. mellow, brutal and senti-
mental.
The definition of marriage has par
ticularly appealed to the humorists.
Petit-Senn has summed it up thus:
Marriage is port in the storm, but
more often storm in the port; ;" while
Edmond About uses another and more
violent metaphor. Says this gentle
man: Marriage Is in life like duel
in the midst of battle" Beaumarchais.
on the other hand, is milder, but equal
ly as cynical. He remarks that "of
all serious things marriage Is the most
ludicrous." Balzac, who really never
married, but who had much to say on
the subject, puts it in this terse man.
ner: Marriage is fight to the death"
La Rochefoucauld,- the greatest of the
French epigrammatists, compromises
with the extremists and remarks:
"There are good marriages, but there
are no delicious ones" How different
is this esthetic viewpoint to the petu-
liant observation of Sulpice Guillaume
Gavarni, who says: "When Il man
says he has wife it means that q
wife has him."
