PROFITABLE RETURNS
FROM ANGORA GOATS
Probably the Most Pronounced and Useful Trait of the I
Animal Is Its Ability to Clear Pasture
of Weeds and Brush
Probably the most pronounced and
useful trait of the Angora goat Is Its
ability to free pastures of weeds and
brush A bulletin of the department
of agriculture claims that 40 goats will
clean as much land as a man with a
mattock and do it much better writes
J H Iiarpster In American Agri-
culturist A member of the Iowa
state board of agriculture Is author-
ity for the statement that the Angora
goat has added 11000000 to the value
of Iowa land In the last ten years by
freeing It of brush and weeds There
are millions of acres of land In the
United States the value of which
could be more than doubled by the
Angora Buck
falsing of these animals for a few
ears at practically no cost to the
farmers as the goat will pay for its
keep and a handsome profit besides
The goat Is the only animal that
will take the job of clearing our land
and pile a great portion of the brush
and weeds in his shed as manure and
ask nothing for doing it All he asks
is a dry place to sleep which he will
go to himself and some feed when
It is too wet for him to go out For
this he gives up a fleece of hair worth
from one dollar up and each year an-
other grubber in the form of a
lusty kid
Angora Kids
The goat will eat any feed that any as the weight of the fleece and ranges
other animal will cat and a great 'from 16 cents to $650 per pound the
deal that no other animal will touch
but it must be clean In summer
he will eat all kinds of brush and
weeds and leave the grass for the oth-
er animals In the winter he will
eat the tops of all the weeds to get
the seeds and the twigs and ends of
all brush and briars and the bark
from a great many saplings peeling
them up six feet high
Western goats are not hard to fence
as they have never been in any in-
closure except a corral and hence
FERTILIZER FOR
USE IN THE FALL
Advantage of Bayinz Hisbest
Grades is Shown by Compar-
ison of Analysis
By A J LEGO Albion W Va
It is generally conceded that either
a superphosphate or a superphos-
phate and potash Is the most econom-
ical fertilizer to use on wheat
My experience here is that a good
grade superphosphate alone gives
better results than the superphos-
phate and potash when applied to
wheat I prefer it to the phosphate
and potash if they cost the same
money but the potash added also
adds from three to four dollars per
ton to the price of the goods
It may be that it will pay to buy
the potash in some localities but I
feel sure that It does not pay here
The superphosphate hastens the ma-
turity of the crop and thus lessens the
danger from loss by rust and other
diseases which injure the wheat crop
' It helps to make nice plump grains
since the phosphoric acid is found
principally in the grain of the crop
In comparing prices it is necessary
do not know how to Jump Any good
fence will turn them they are more
apt to crawl under than jump over
hut w hen they once learn to Jump they
are good at the job A woven wire
fence three feet high Is an Ideal goat
flnce One with square meshes Is
preferable with stay wires not closer
thsu 12 inches apart
Angora ‘goats breed but once a
year and usually bring forth their
young In IhIc winter or spring usu-
ally one but sometimes twins The
kids are dellcnte when first born but
when once filled with mother's milk
will stand lots of exposure The
fall is the best Beason to buy gouts
and Does
as then you can see the mohair and It
has not added much to the price If
you buy in the spring you must buy
the fleece as well as the goat Shorn
goats all look alike to me and no one
can tell with absolute surety a ‘good
haired goat after It is clipped
The fleece of the Angora goat is
called mohair and they shear from
one and one-half to twenty-one pounds
The average for this country is be-
tween three and five pounds for one
year's growth and It Is from three to
twenty-two inches long the average
being somewhere between
The price of mohair varies as much
former price for six-months-old goats
of poor hair and the latter the price
paid a Montana firm for two fleeces
that weighed 42 pounds The goat
that took the premium at the St
Louis world's fair clipped 13 pounds
of hair and sold for $450 per pound
Tom Wedgewood of New Mexico had
a buck that sheared 16 pounds of hair
ten pounds of which sold for five dol-
lars per pound Mrs Armour of New
Mexico had a doe fleece that weighed
14 pounds and sold for $42
to consider the amount of available
phosphoric acid In tho goods
If a certain brand shows ten per
cent available phosphoric acid and is
offered at $14 per ton and we desire
to compare it with a brand which
shows an analysis ol’ 16 per cent avail-
able phosphoric acid at $18 per ton
we call the per cent pounds since
ten per cent means ten pounds per
hundred and multiply it by the price
per pound for phosphoric acid which
is usually calculated at from five to
six cents per pound and compare the
results thus:
Ten pounds phosphoric acid at six
cents per pound equals 60 cents
Sixteen pounds phosphoric acid at
six cents per pound equals 98 cents
This shows the cheaper grade to be
worth 60 cents per hundred and the
higher grade 96 cents per hundred
I Sixty times 20 is $12
Ninety-six times 20 is $1920
This shows that when 16 per cent
goods are selling at $1920 per ton
the ten per cent goods are only worth
commercially $12 per ton

A packer declares that the cost oi

Women in Postal Service
The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America nor is the employment of
women In the postal service a new
idea As early as 1548 a woman post
master was appointed to look after
the malls of Br&lne le Comte an im-
portant town of France In the try-
ing times of the Thirty Years' war
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman
Alexandrine de Rue From 1628 to
1646 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire the Nether-
lands Burgundy and Lorraine She
was known as a master general of the
malls In America Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department She had charge
of the letters In Portsmouth N H in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen-
tury A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post-
office in Salem Mass
The Doctors’ Orders
A lady whose husband Beemed to be
I doing little but lie in the hammock
and eat apples was asked by a sym-
pathetic neighbor what the trouble
with him was “Doctors" she replied
sadly “No he hasn’t come Into a for-
tune" A writer in To-Day’s Magazine
tells the story
“You see” explained the wife “he’s
been having some sort of matter with
I his stomach and he consulted two dif-
ferent doctors about it One told him
I to eat a ripe apple every hour and
the other said to rest an hour after
eating So he’s trying to do both”
Troubles of People on Venus
Inhabitants of Venus if there are
any must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time Venus always
turns the same face toward Ue sun
so the planet has no day and the
lack of a moon deprives it of a month
Finally it has no year for its axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit and the latter is almost
tircular
PRESSED HARD
Coffee’s Weight on Old Age
When prominent men realize the in-
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others
A superintendent of public schools in
North Carolina says:
"My mother since her early child-
hood was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and com-
plained of that ’weak all over’ feeling
and sick stomach
“Some time ago I was making an of-
ficial visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with' one of
the merchants of the place I no-
ticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of
the coffee and asked him concerning
it He replied that it was Postum
“I was so pleased with it that after
the meal was over I bought a pack-
age to carry home with me ami had
wife prepare some for the next meal
The whole family liked 4t so well that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely
“I had really been at times veir anx-
ious concerning my mother's condition
but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach that the
headaches were not so frequent and
her general condition much Improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us
“I know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam-
ily but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother as she was
a victim of long standing’

MUSH HOUR ON THE ’PHONE
Sweethearts Select the Time Between
Eight and Nine O’clock In
the Evening
The crusty man was hopping mad
“Can't get & telephone" he said
"Every booth In the place la occupied
and has been occupied for the last
half hour I never heard so many
long-winded conversations going on at
one time”
"Between eight and nine o'clock In
the evening" volunteered the opera-
tor sweetly “there are more overtime
telephone conversations registered
than In any other In the 24"
“Whnt Is the cause of it?" snapped
the crusty man
"Sweethearts" said the girl “For
various reasons He and She cannot
meet every evening so on the off
nights they satisfy their longing by
talking over the telephone It takes
a long time to say all the things they
want to say Under the circum-
stances other people ought to be
patient"
‘Sweethearts! Humph!" scoffed the
crusty man and he didn’t look pa-

WHAT IS PAINT?
t
The paint on a house is the extreme
outside of the house The wood is
simply a structural under layer That
Is as It should be Unprotected wood
will not well withstand weather But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an Invulnerable armor
against sun and rain heat and cold
Sych paint protects and preserves
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the houses A well-constructed
building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting
National Lead Company have made
It possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying They do
this by patting upon every package
of their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark That trademark
Is a complete guarantee
So What’s the Use?
“Yes I went fishing yesterday" be-

mented: "Bet he didn't get a bite"
