A GOAT FARM.
A Woman’s Venture which
has Proved Profitable.
Raising Angora Gents and Selling Their
Wool at One Dollar a Pound.
A Nynek, (N. Y.,) letter to the New
York Timet , says: Three miles from
this village, near tho Hudson River, isan
Angora goat farm, which from its nov< 1-
ty attracts much attention hereabout.
It is looked upon as something in the na¬
ture of a farmer’s freak, like the raising
of bees or silkworms. Goats browse and
goats prosper on this farm on the heights
that border Rockland Lake as readily as
they do on the rocks about Shantytown,
in New-York City. But they are a differ¬
ent breed of goats more aristocratic than
their city relatives as to wool, more epic¬
urean in their tastes, and more blue-
blooded as to ancestry. The herd in
this somewhat novel farm just now num¬
bers 75, varying in age from the tiny ob¬
ject of three months which looks like a
cross between a dog, a rabbit, and
lady’s powder puff, to the handsome pa¬
triarch of the flock, a magnificent
men of the pure Angora bleed, with im¬
mense curling horns. This handsome old
fellow with his wife were imported by
I)r. Agnew, the famous oculist of New-
York, from Asia Minor, and the impor¬
tation cost him a heap of money as
price of goats goes. Their present own¬
er is the good woman who now runs tlrs
goat farm, and who never tires of dis¬
c-anting' on the good qualities of her pets.
They know her voice, and answer to
their names when she calls them. Kind
and gentle they appear when visitors arc
about, but the fondness for fighting, as
characteristic of goats as it is of a native
of Tipperary, crops out when the herd is
together and apparently out of sight of
mamand.
A strange fact noticed in the breeding
of these animals is that the females do
not thrive in this locality as well as the
male. The hardy female goat of the or-
dinary species was introduced into this
flock for experimental breeding purposes,
und with marked success. Repeated
crossing with the common goat and her
offspring lias produced apparently pure
Angora goats, the tendency being in all
cases lor the kids to revert in fhu texture
of their wool toward tlie male side. As
a consequence the third generation has
nil the appearance of its distinguished an¬
cestry, and in the fourth generation even
the best experts cannot tell the pure
blooded from the erode Angora. This
fact is a matter of considerable interest
to breeders of goats, as an Angora buck
cost $100 or over, while tlie common
goat can , be , had , almost , for ... the asking.
^
The fecundity' * of -c the -t Angora i is not so
great as that of the common goat, the
Angora ewe giving birth to but one kid
yearly.
As a source of pro Tit the goats have
_ turned out well. Tlie wool is from four
to six inches in length, silky, and of
beautiful texture. A full' grown animal
will yield four pounds of wool, which
will readily sell at *1 per pound. Just
now the d t^nd for this wool is not par¬
ticularly lively, as the lustrous dress of
fabric into which it was at one time
largely converted is out of vogue with
fashionable ladies. It is therefore used
almost exclusively in the manufacture of
plush for Upholstery purposes. When
the kid is 0 months old its hide, un¬
dressed, is worth $8, and will sell readi¬
ly for that amount to glove manufactur-
ers. Kids on the farm is Mmtjoa amount meet
with sudiko -oVifth on that at
--'’'’Ait that age with considerable regular¬
ity. When it is necessary to kill them
the good lady has them chloroformed so
that she may no8 hear the death cries of
her little pets. The milk of the goat is
much sought after by dyspeptics, by per¬
sons suffering from pulmonary troubles,
and by otherwise delicate persons, aud it
brings a much greater price than cows’
milk. As to their use for food little can
be said, because the ghat does not flesh
up well, but the kid, when killed young,
furnishes a fair amount of tender meat
which some people like. It will never
become a great delicacy in the market, or
be in sufficient demand to become a
source of income to the gout raiser.
There is nothing in the world so c .heap to
raise as goats, because they will lind nin-
jile food in lots up here where other ani¬
mals would starve to death. Acorns arc
a favorite article of food with them, and
as these abound in the woods the cost for
Winter fodder is mainly confined to the
trouble of gathering the acorns.

Newspaper and Orator.
Compare the orator, one of the nob'est
vehicles for the diffusion of thought,
with the newspaper, and you may gam a
faint glimpse of the ubiquitous powers of
the latter. The orator speaks to hut a
few hundred, the newspaper addresses
millions; the words of the orator may die
in the air, the language of the newspaper
is stamped on tallies imperishable as mar¬
ble; arguments of the orator may follow
each other so rapidly that the majority of
the audience may struggle in a ni t work
of ratiocination, the reasoning of the
newspaper may be scanned at leisure
without a fear of perplexity; the passion
of the oi»tor influences an assembly, the
leelir.g of a newspaper electrifies a conti¬
nent; the orator is for an edifice, the
newspaper for the world—the one shines
for au hour, the other glows for all time;
the orator inay be compared to lightning,
which flashes over a valley for a moment,
but leaves it again in darkness, the uews-
paper to a sun blazing steadily over the
whole earth, and fixed on the basis*of its
. own eternity. Printing has been happily
defined the art that preserves all arts. It
catches up his dying words and breathes
into them the breath of life. It is the
gallery through which the orator thun¬
ders in the ears of ages. He leans from
the tomb over the cradle of the rising
generations.
Hiding Vafiiables.
Speaking of silver, Rays M. G. McClel¬
land in the Chicago I'imea, reminds me
of a little story I heard a Richmond lady
tell my mother some time after the cajv
turc. She had a quantity of valuables
and stowed them about in every conceiv¬
able place for safety. Among other
things she had a huge solid silver fire¬
man’s trumpet, which had been presented
to her husband by the volunteer fire
brigade of Richmond many years beforo
in recognition of his service as their
chief. This trumpet was forgotten in
the general hiding of valuables, and the
Yankees were fairly In sight -when she
discovered it resting ostentatiously in the
middle of the centcr-tabie in the parlor.
She was loath to lose it, knowing that
her husband valued it greatly, but where
to stow away the big thing she could not
think. At last she took it out to an old
negro man who was very much attached
to her husband, explaining her dilemma,
and told him to take the thing away and
hide it. Long before the end of the
three days she gave the trumpet up for
lost, as the soldiers, not. being hurried,
poked about in every hole and cranny
with a preseverance and fertility of re¬
source worthy of a better cause. But. the
day after they departed the old negro
presented himself at the house with smiles
on his countenance and the trumpet
under his arm. On being questioned, lie
explained that he had “toted dc horn
down de hill an’ jammed it up in one ole
holler log what was sorter layin’ in de
creek, an’ too soggy fur to make fire.”
lie had stuffed uj> the opening in the end
with wet leaves, and calmly watched tho
soldiers sitting on the log by the hour at
a time without the faintest suspi.iou of
its silver heart.
Killing a Giraffe.
The noble animal stood at bay pawing
and stamping the ground, his long neck
swaying to aud fro; several more shots
were fired at him, causing him to strike
desperately with his fore feet a blow
which would k'nock a horse down. Dis¬
1 mounting, I ran to get a nearer view.
j There was despair in his large drooping
brown eyes, and a look which seemed to
1 say, "AVhat harm have I ever done you?”
; It seemed a shame that no one gave him a
i coup dc grace, and put him out of his
agony. Turning to one of the men 1 said,
"Shoot him in tlie head, and put an end
to his pain.” But he answered me by
grasping my arm and pulling me to one
side, shouting, “Look out, or he will bo
on you.” Looking up I saw the crazy
j creature swinging his head about, his
' long neck putting me in mind of an
| ' anaconda, as it fairly whirled through
the air, forming wide circles as he mado
i desperate plunges to keep his bodv un¬

was a “zwart bout” (black-spotted, the
variety usually seen iu zoological collec¬
tions ; the white-spotted ones are longer
and finer' made, and have never been
brought to Europe, and are never so
heavy). He measured from the root qf
the tail to the shoulder 0 feet 1 inch, and
from the shoulder to the tip of the uose

Short History of Candles.
Candlesticks are mentioned i^i tha
! 'Bible, blit there seems to be nfj doubt
that these were lamps for turff/figc olive
oil ratucr than supports -ior wbiclrt .SW
j now called candles, f he candles used
j by the SVeeks and Romans were rude
1 t<whes made b >’ di H> in » 8trin K 8 of
TUH coating ? m them f 68 with int ;’«nd wax. In Europe afterward this
candle was in use during the middle ages,
tho wick bciug of twisted tow. Often
these were very large and heavy. Among
the poorer classes candles were made by
soaking splints of wood in fat or oil.
The use of these wood splints is mention-
ed in English history about tlie begin¬
ning of the fourteenth century. Wax
caudles were, also made during this cen¬
tury, but they were expensive and deem¬
ed a great luxury. Scon after this a
dipped candle made from tallow was in¬
troduced. A company for making wax
candies was incorporated in London in
1484. Mold candles arc said to bo the
invention of the Sieur Le Brez, of Paris.
Spermaceti candles are of modern manu¬
facture. —Chicapo Inter-Ocean.
Goats as Animal Doctors.
It is a curious fact that, prejudiced as
we seem to be against the useful goat, in
spite of all its really admirable proper¬
ties, it lias been from very early times
popular iu this country, on account of a
virtue which is purely fictitious and fan¬
ciful. Antiquity has bequeathed to us
the legend that goats were exceptionally
wise in the matter of wholesome herbs,
that they were, in fact, the herbalists
among quadrupeds and “cunning in sim¬
ples.” Out of this grew the idea that
they were virtually physicians, that their
presence among domestic animals was
beneficial, and that their odor, though
unpleasant to man, was wholesome to
horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and the farm¬
yard generally. For this reason one sin¬
gle goat was often kept, and farmyards
may still bo found where "Betty” or
"Nanny” lives at its ease, and is main¬
tained, not for any real use it is put to,
but in deference, perhaps quite unknow¬
ingly, to an almost obsolete superstition,

Hawk and Cat.
A huge California hawk swooped down
on a sleeping cat at Santa Rosa the other
day, and bore it Equalling and scratching
high in the air. When about 500 leet
high the hawk lost its grip, end the cat
cuinc down with fearful velocity, but
the hawk caught it again just before it
struck the earth, and was carrying it off,
when suddenly both fell like lead to the
ground. The cat had bitten through the
hawk’s head, killing it instantly, and the
fall killed the cat.
FOR THE FARM AND HUME,
I>rptli to Now XVlieaf.
Experiments in sowing by Mr. Charles
A. Plumb at the Geneva (N. Y.) Expcri-
nent Station showed that wheat sown
from one-quarter, and from this to one-
half, three-quarters, one k one and a half,
iwo, and two and a half inches deep
terminated from ninety-one down to
i eighty grains—the latter at two and two
ind a half inches—per 100 sown. But
I'he winter-killing was most severe in the
;„i«. .lightly covered, beieg eighty-
seven plants at one-quarter inch and
only eight at two and a half inches deep.
from this latter depth down to a depth
of seven inches the results were more and
more unfavorable. At six and seven
inches only nine plants came up. Tho
conditions were bad and the winter-kill-
ng severe, and undoubtedly from the
fact that in deep seeding the plants come
ip exceedingly weak, are obliged to put
out surface roots for support, and hence
remain weak. The results and these
have been pretty constant in other like
experiments show that, anywhere from
wo three inches, ucconting to whether
the soil be heavy or light, ’ is the proper
depth , for , sowing . wheat. , But in this
connection the farmer must not be misled ...
m the sowing ... of spring grains. . From
to and . , half ,, inches . , . the
one one a is
proper depth for wheat and rye, and
lomewliat more for barley and oats. In
flax the best results will probably come
in covering not to exceed one inch,
The grain thus throws out its feeding
roots within the influence of heat and
moisture, gradually going deeper and
deeper as the season advances.
The Rainyard.
Of all the leaks on a farm, says the
Rural World, a leaky, sloping barnyard
is the worst. The time-honored fashion
of placing the barn on a knoll or the
highest spot of land near the house is a
most reprehensible one. More wealth
glides away from such a sunny, elevated
barnyard than can be computed. It must
reach far up into the millions annually.
The number of barns that are so placed
that the water that falls from the roof at
each rain and rushes through and washes
out the most valuable soluble portions,
can be numbered by the hundreds of
thousands.
Every level-headed farmer has, or
should have, a level or slightly concave
barnyard, much in the form of an invert¬
ed watch crystal. If flat, and the bot¬
tom is of clay, the outer edge should be
raised to a height of at least one foot,
so that no water xveuld escape that had
fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion of the wheat straw in¬
to valuable manure, the stack should be
built in the centre of such a yard, and
sufficient straw be scattered from time to
time to keep the yard in a passable con-
tion.
To make the manure heap of the great¬
est value, the manure of the various kinds
of farm animals should be daily or fre¬
quently scattered over the straw in the
yard, so that each, possessing a distinct¬
ive value of its own, would become thor¬
oughly commingled, and thus form r
manure in common, that is_ espccit?jly
well adapted to growing all kinds of
crops. Such daily or weekly deposits in
the manure bank enable the thrifty far¬
mer to check out from ft'me to time a
reasonable nuMunt of valuable manure
Without danger of overdrawing his ac¬
count. The farmer who has a good
bank of well-decomposed manure made
annually subject to his order, is, and can
be, the only true independent one, for
the income derived from abundant crops
will as surely make him so as ten times
one are ten. Feed the soil, and it will,
in turn, feed, clothe and enrich you.
Strawberries.
Some people recommend planting in
May and June, and others in September
and October; each practice has its adher¬
ents, and while they are settling which is
best we will prepare our ground by deep
trenching and a liberal dressing, from the
compost heap, and then we will tell them
that the best time for planting the straw¬
berry is as soon as you can get the frost
out of the grouud in the spring. If
planted in September and October, more
than one-half of the young plants are
thrown out and destroyed by frost, and if
planted in May and June, the hot, dry
weather coming on before they have got
a permanent hold of the soil shrivels more
than one-half of them up; but when
planted before the sun has much power,
and while there is plenty of moisture in
the ground, and generally a liberal al-
lowancc of showers, they commence with
the season and never go back. The
strawberry should be planted two feet
apart between the rows, and about eight
inches between the plants : these, the
year after planting, will give an abun¬
dant yield, and in spring should be top-
dressed with a mixture from the compost
heap and rather more than half de¬
cayed barnyard manure. The com¬
post and the decayed parts of the ma¬
nure will feed the plants, and the littery
parts of the manure drying will not only
act as a mulch by keeping the sun from
drying the ground, but will also keep the
fruit and flowers clean during heavy rain.
When the fruiting season is over, this
long stuff can be raked off and carted
■with other garden refuse to the heap, and
the rest of the stuff forked in. The plants
should be encouraged to make good
strong crowns for next year’s fruiting. If
the weather is very dry during June,
when the strawberries arc coming into
flower, give copious waterings; far better
leave it alone than half do it. and if the
ground gets two or thrpe good floodings,
the top-dressing will keep it moist most
through the fruiting season. Every third
year, instead of digging the plat up and
planting another, train the runners into
middle between the rows and peg them
down. With the liberal top-dressing we
have given the soil, here will be just the
thing for a new bed, and as soon as tha
yoting plants can do without their foster-
ing mother the old ones can be cut off
and carted to the heap uforesaid, some of
the decayed parts of the heap brought
! back in their place and dug in, and by 1
the full wo will have a flourishing bed of i
g„ e strong crowns that will yield a
8p iendid crop the coming season." And
this may be repoated every third year,
renewing the ground and plants in tho
Silm e manner, This is a way of my own.

Most crops, excepting clover, derive
their food mainly from the first five or
six inches in depth of the soil. If we
can keep the surface fertile nothing more
is needed. Pulverizing the subsoil by
the subsoil plough is useful mainly to en¬
able it to hold more moisture and to open
it so that roots may go down in search of
it.
On large farms thero are necessarily
many horses employed eluting summer,
and if these are mado a bill of expense
during half tho year or more it is little
wonder if the winter consumes all the
profits of the year. On grain farms cut
straw, with ground feed of some kind, is
much more economical than the usual
ration of hay and grain.
It will not do to crowd the ewes with
their lambs into a small pen with all the
other sheep. In trying to get theii
share of the rations they will be injured
by the crowding and jamming which at¬
tend the feeding. The ewes need extra

in such quarters is all wrong.
