Mohair Profitable Even at Low
Prices—Axong tee Weeds.
It is true that there is but little de
mand for mohair just now. My mo
hair was sold at 20 cents per pound,
much lower than ever before, but tbe
Aagora goat industry is still a good
business, even if we should not get
over 20 cents per pound for mohair
and 6 cents per pound for Angora mut
ton, and where we want weeds and
brush killed the Angora goat is a
great help.
A few years ago the Colorado river
washed away a great deal of my field
fence and covered the bottom land
with cockleburs all along the river. It
looked like a forest of cockleburs. To
save the crop I had to build a new
fence, joining the river on the upper
side of the field, so the goats could not J swer.
keep down the weeds along the river
inside of the field, but they kept all
the cockleburs eaten up clean as far
as they could go. Last winter I hired
help to beat down the ripe cockleburs
from the dead bushes inside the field
and built a new fence of eight wires
parallel with the river and opened the
whole bottom to the goats this spring
after shearing. At that time the coc
kleburs and elder bushes had entirely
covered the entire bottom for the dis
tance of nearly a mile, and it looked
like the goats would get lost in there,
but after about two months I had the
great pleasure to see that the bottom
was as clean from cockleburs and
elder as pecan gatherers may wish for.
But there is one weed that my goats
do not like. It is the wild sage, and of
the wild castor beans along tbe river
they do not eat much. I think that
sheep will eat wild sage, but do not
know if they eat the wild castor bean.
I hired help to keep down the castor
bean, which the goats will do if there
are not too many of them. I think it
would be a good plan to keep a few
sheep among the goats to keep down
wild sage also, concludes H. T. Fuchs
in Texas Farm and Bauch.

would have had no idea whither to di
rect their steps. He had learned to
read almost imperceptible signs, the
forms of icicles, the appearance of the
small branches of trees, mists rising
far away on the horizon, vague sounds
in the air, distant reports, the flight of
birds through the foggy atmosphere—a
thousand circumstances which are so
many words to those v, ho can decipher
them. Moreover, tempered by snow
like a Damascus blade in the waters of
Syria, he hau a frame of iron, as Gen
eral Kissoff had raid, and, what was
no less true, a heart of gold.
The only sentiment of love felt by
Michael StrcgoIT was that which he en
tertained for his mother, the aged Mar
fa, who could never be induced to leave
tbe house of the Strogorfs at Omsk, on
the backs of the Isrish, where the oi.l
huntsman and she had lived so long ic-
r:-. ’her. Yd hen her son left her, he
went away with a full heart, but prom
ising to come and see her whenever !.<•
could possibly do so, and this promise
he had always religiously kept.
TYhen Michael was twenty, it was de
cided that be rheuid enter the personal
service of the emperor of Russia, in the
corps of the couriers Gf the czar. The
hardy, intelligent, zealous, well con
ducted young Siberian first distinguish
ed himself especially in a journey to
the Caucasus, through the midst of a
difficult country, ravaged by some rest
less successors of Schamyl; then, later,
in an important mission to Petrepolow-
ski, in Kamchatka, the extreme limit
of Asiatic Russia. During these long
journeys he displayed such marvelous
coolness, prudence and courage as to
gain him the approbation and protec
tion of his chief, who rapidly advanced
him in his profession.
The furloughs which were his due
after these distant missions, although
he might be separated from her by
thousands of versts and winter had
rendered the roads almost impassable,
he Lad never failed to devote to his
old mother. Having been much em
ployed in the south of the empire, he
had not seen old Marfa for three years
—three ages—the first time in his life
he had been so long absent from her.
Now, however, in a few days he would
obtain his furlough, and he had ac
cordingly already made preparations
for departure for Omsk when the
events which have been related oc
curred. Michael Strogoff was there
fore introduced into the czar’s presence
in complete Ignorance of what the em
peror expected from him.
The czar, apparently satisfied with
his scrutiny, went to his bureau and,
motioning to the chief of police to seat
himself, dictated in a low voice a letter
of not more than a few lines. The let
ter penned, the czar reread it attentive
ly and then signed it, preceding his
name with these words, “Byt po
semon,” which, signifying “so be it,"
constitutes the decisive formula of the
Russian emperors.
The letter was placed in an envelope,
which was sealed with the imperial
arms.
The czar, rising, told Michael Stro-
goff to draw near.
Michael advanced a few steps and
then stood motionless, ready to an-

It is recommended to sow in fall—Au

successfully grown, it will give excel

“Hast thou relations there?”
“Yes, sire.”
“What relations?”

The czar suspended his questions for
a moment, then, pointing to the letter
which lie held in his hand, he said:
“Here is a letter which I charge thee.
Michael Strogoff, to deliver into the
hands of the grand duke and to no oth
er but him.”
“I will deliver it, sire.”
“The grand duke is at Irkutsk.”
“I will go to Irkutsk.”
“Thou wilt have to traverse a rebel
lious country, invaded by Tartars,
whose interest it will be to intercept
this letter.”
“I will traverse it.”
“Above all, beware of the traitor
Ivan Ogareff, who will perhaps meet
thee on the way.”
“I will beware of him.”
“Wilt thou pass through Omsk?”
“Sire, that is my route.”
“If thou dost see thy mother, there
will be the risk of being recognized.
Thou must not see her!”
Michael Strogoff hesitated a moment.
“I will not see her,” said he.
“Swear to me that nothing will make
thee acknowledge who thou art nor
whither thou art going.”
“I swear it.”
“Michael Strogoff,” continued the czar,
giving the letter to the young courier,
“take this letter. On it depends the
safety of ail Siberia and perhaps the
life of my brother, the grand duke.”
“This letter shall be delivered to his
highness the grand duke.”
“Thou wilt pass W hatever happens?”
“I shall pass, or they shall kill me.”
“I want thee to live.”
“I shall live, and I shall pass,” an
swered Michael Strogoff.
The czar appeared satisfied with Stro-
goff’s calm and simple answer.
“Go, then, Michael Strogoff,” said b
“go for God, for Russia, for my brother
and for myself.”
The courier, having saluted his sov
ereign, immediately left the imperial
cabinet and in a few minutes the New
palace.
“You made a good choice there, gen
eral,” said the czar.
“I think so, sire,” replied General
Kissoff, “and your majesty may be
sure that Michael Strogoff will do all
that a man can do.”
“He is indeed a man,” said the czar.
