A GOAT FARM.
A Woman’s Venture which
has Proved Profitable.
Raising Angora Goals and Selling Their
Wool at One Dollar a Pound.
A Nyack, (N. Y.,) letter to tho New
York Timet, Bays: Threo miles from
this village, near tho ITndson River, is an
Angora goat farm, which from its novel
ty attracts nrou attention hereabout.
It is looked upon ns something in the na
ture of a farmer’s freak, like the raising
of bees or silkworms. Goats browse and
goats prosper on tiffs farm on tho heights
that border Rockland Lake ns rendily os
they do on the rocks nbout Shantytown,
in New-York City. But they are a differ-
»nt brood of goats, more aristocratic than
their city relatives as to wool, mom epic
urean in their tastes, and moro bluo-
blooded as to ancestry. The herd in
this somewhat novel farm just now num
bers 75, varying in age from tho tiny ob-
joct of three months which looks like a
cross between a dog, a rabbit, and a
lady’s powder puff, to the hundsomo pa
triarch of the Hock, a magnificent epeoi
men of the puro Angora breed, with im
mense curling horns. This handsome old
fellow with his wife were imported by
Dr. jAgncw, tho famous oculist of New-
York, from Asia Minor, and the impor
tation oost him a heap of money as the
prico of gouts goes. Their present own
er is the good womnn who now runs th's
goat farm, and who never tires of dis-
canting on the good qualities of her pets.
They t» 00 w her voice, and answer to
their nam*t when sho calls them. Kind
and gentle <hey appear when visitors arc
about, but tho fondness for lighting, 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
mankind.
A strange fact noticed in tho breeding
of these animals is that tho females do
not thrive in tills locality as well as tho
male. Tho hardy female goat of the or
dinary species was introduced into this
Qock for experimental breeding purposes,
and with marked success. Repeated
crossing with the common goat and her j
offspring has produced apparently pure i
Angora goats, tho tendency being in all
cases for the kids to revert in tho texture
of their wool toward the male side. As
* consequenco tho third generation 1ms
all the appearance of its distinguished an-
ceatry, and in the fourth generation even
the best experts cannot tell the pure
blooded from tho grade Angora. This
fact is a mutter of considerable interest
to breeders of goats, ns an Angora buck
cost (100 or ovor, while tho coinmou
goat can be had almost tor tho asking.
Tho fecundity of tho Angora is not so
great as that of tlm common goat, tho
Angora ewe giving birth to but one kid
yearly.
As a sourco of profit tho goats have
turned out well. The 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 ul $1 per pound. Just
now the demand 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, uti- ;
dressed, is worth (fi, and will sell readi
ly for that amount to glove limnufactur- i
ers. Kids on the farm in question meet
with sudden death on that account ut
about thut age with considerable regular- !
Ity. Whim it is necessary to kill them 1
the good lady has them chloroformed so (
that she may not hear the death cries of
her little pets. The milk of the goat is ]
much sought after by dyspeptics, by per
sons suffuring from pulmonary troubles, !
and by otherwise delicate persons, and it ;
brings a much greater prico than cows’ |
milk. As to their use for food little can j
be said, because the goat does not flesh 1
up well, but tlie kid, when killed young,
furnishes a fair amount of tender meat
which some people lilco. It will never
become a great delicacy in tho market, or
be In sufficient demand to become u
source of income to the goat raiser.
There is nothing in tho world so cheap to
raise os goats, because they will find am
ple food in lots up here where other ani
mals would starve to death. Acorns are
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 tho acorns.
Hiding Valuables.
Speaking of silver, says M. G. McClel
land in tho Chicago Timet, reminds ma
of a littlo story I heard a Richmond lady
tell iny mother some time after tho cap
ture. She hnd a quantity of valuables
and stowed them nbout in every conceiv
able place for safety. Among other
things she hnd a huge solid silver fire
man’s trumpet, which had been presented
to her husband by tho volunteer lire
brigade of Richmond many years beforo
in recognition of his servico as their
chief. Tliis trumpet was forgotten in
the goncral hiding of valuables, and the
Yankees woro fairly in sight when sho
discovered it resting ostentatiously in the
middle of tho center-table in the parlor.
Sho was loath to losu it, knowing that
her husband valued it greatly, but wliero
to stow away the big thing she could not
think. At last she took it out to nil old
negro man who was very much attached
to her husband, explaining her dilemma,
and told him to take the thing away and
hido it. Long before the end of tho
three days she gave the trumpet up for
Inst, ns the soldiers, not being hurried,
poked nbout in every hole and cranny
with a presevernnee nnd fertility of re
source worthy of a better ettuso. But tho
day nfter they departed the old negro
presented himself at the house with smiles
On his countenance and tho trumpet
under his nnn. On boing questioned, he
explained that he had “toted do horn
down de hill an' jammed it up in odo olo
boll\r log wlinl was sorter Iny in’ in de
erects, an’ too soggy fur to rnako fire."
Mo lmf stuffed up the opening in tho end
with Wvt leaves, and calmly watched tho
soldiors fitting on the log by tho hour at
a time without tho faintest suspicion of
its silver heart.
FOR THE FARM AND HOME,
Killing a Gli-nlTn.
Tho noble animal stood at bay pawing
nnd stamping the ground, lus long nock
swaying to and fro; scvernl more shots
were tired at hln, causing him to strike
desperately witL hiH foro feet a blow
which would knock a horse down. Dis
mounting, I rnn to get a nearer viow.
There was despair in his largo drooping
brown eyes, nnd a look which seemed to
say, “Whnt harm have I over done you?”
It seemed n shame that no one gave him a
coil]) do grace, and put him out of his
agony. Turning to one ol the men 1 said,
“Shoot him in the head, and put an end
to his pain." But lie answered me by
grasping my arm uml pulling mo to ono
side, shouting, “Look out, or he will bo
on you." Looking up I sa-.v the crazy
creature swinging his head about, his
long neck putting me in mind of an
unneondn, as it fairly whirled through
the air, forming wide circles as ho inado
desperate plunges to keep his body un
der his neck; pitching forward, he fell un
liis liend nnd xhoulders, nnd rolled ovor
with n thud that, shook tho ground, lie
was a “zwnrt bout” (black-spotted, tho
vurioty usually seen iu zoological collec
tions; the white-spotted ones are longer
and liner made, and have never been
brought to Europe, and aro never go
heavy). Me measured from the root of

Peplli to Bow Wheat.
Experiments in sowing by Mr. Charles
A. Plumb at the Genova (N. Y.) Experi-
nent Station showed that wheat sown
from one-quarter, and from this to ouo-
hnlf, three-quarters, one, one nnd a half,
5wo, and two and a half inches deep
terminated from ninety-one down to
eighty grains—tho latter at two nnd two
ind a half inches—per 100 sown. But
‘he winter-killing wa3 most severe in tho
grains slightly covered, being eiglity-
icven plants at one-quarter inch and
only eight at two and a half inches deep.
From tliis latter depth down to a depth
if soven inches the results were moro and
moro unfavorable. At six and seven
inches only nino plants came up. Tho
conditions were bad and the winter-kill-
■'ng severe, nnd undoubtedly from the
fact that in deep seeding the plants come
ip exceedingly weak, are obliged to put
silt surfnee roots for support, and hence
remain weak. Tho results—and these
hnvo been pretty constant in other like
txperimenta—show that anywhere from
two to tliroo inches, according to whether
the soil be heavy or light, is the proper
depth for Rowing wheat. But in this
connection the farmer must not bo misled
in the sowing of spring grains. From
ono to one nnd a half inches is the
proper depth for wheat and rye, and
Nuncwliat more for barley and oats. In
flax tho best results will probably come
In covering not to exceed ono inch.
The grain thus throws out its feeding
roots within the influence of heat and
oioisturo, gradually going deeper and
deeper us the season advances.
Newspaper aud Orator.
Compare the orator, one of the noblest
Vehicles for the diffusion of thought,
with the newspaper, and you may gam s
faint glimpse of tho ubiquitous powers of
the latter. The orator speaks to but n
few hundred, the newspaper addresses
millions; the words of the orator may die
in the air, tho language of tho newspaper
U stamped on tables imperishable us mar
ble; arguments of the orator may follow
each other so rapidly that the majority of
Che audience may struggle in a net work
of ratiocination, the reasoning of the
taewspaper may be scanned at leisure
without a fear of perplexity; the passion
of the orator influences au assembly, the
feeling of a newspaper electrifies a conti
nent; the orator is for an edifice, tho
newspaper for the world—the one shines
for an hour, the other glows for all time;
the orator may be compared, to lightning,
which flashes over a valley for a moment,
but leaves it again in darkness, the news
paper to a sun blazing steadily over the
whole earth, and fixed on the basis of its
own eternity. Printing lias been happily
defined the art tliat 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.
Short History of Candles.
Candlestick', ure mentioned in the
Bilile, but there seems to lie no doubt
tliat these were I nips for burning olive
oil rntner than supports for which are
now called candles. The randies used
by the Greeks and Romans woro rudo
torches made by dipping strings of papy
rus or rushes into pitch, and afterward
coating them with wax. In Europe this
candle was in uso during the middle ages,
the wick being of twisted tow. Ofteu
these were very large and hoavy. Among
tho 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 the begin
ning of tho fourteoutli century. Wax
caudles were, also made during this cen
tury, but they were expensive nnd deem
ed a great luxury. Scon after this a
dipped candle made from tallow was in
ti oduced. A company for making wax
candies was incorporated in London in

The Barnyard.
Of all the leaks on a farm, says tho
Rural World, a leaky, sloping barnyard
Is tho worst. The time-honored fashion
of placing tho barn on a knoll or the
highest spot of lnnd near tho houso is a
most rcprclicnsiblo ono. Moro 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 bnrns that nro so placed
that the Water that falls from tho roof at
each rain nud rushes through and washes
out tho most valuable soluble portions,
can be numbered by the hundreds of
thousands.
Every icvel-hcnded farmor has, or
should have, a level or slightly concavo
barnyard, much in tho form of an invert
ed watch crystal. If flat, nnd the bot
tom is of clny, the outer edgo should be
raised to a height of nt least one foot,
so tliat no water would esenpe thnt had
falleu in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion of the wheat straw in
to valuable manure, tho stack should be
built in tho centre of sucli a yard, and
sufficient straw bo scattered from time to
lime to keep the yard in a passable con-
tion.
To make the manure henp of tho great
est value, tiio manure of tho various kinds
of farm animals should be daily or fro
qucntly scattered over tho straw in tip
yard, so thnt each, possessing a distinct
ive value of its own, would become thor
oughly commingled, and thus form! a
manure in common, that is especially
well adapted to growing all kinds of
crops. Such daily or weekly .deposit? in
tho manure bank enable tho thrifty far
mer to check out from timo to tims a
reasonable amount of. valuable manure
without danger of overdrawing his ac
count. The farmer who has a good
bank of well-decomposed manure made
nnnunlly subject to his order, is, nnd ran
be, the only true independent one, for
the income derived from abundant crops

Goats ns Animal Doctors.
It is a curious fact that, prejudiced as
we seem to be against tho useful goat, in
spite of all its really admirable proper
ties, it lias been from very early times
popular in 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 ip. the matter of wholesome herbs,
that they were, in fact, the herbalists
among quadrupeds nnd “cunning in sim
ples.” Out of this grew the idea that
they were virtually physicians, that their
presence among domestic nnimals was
beneficial, and that their odor, though
unpleasant to man, was wbolesomo to
horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and the farm
yard generally. For this reason ono sin
gle goat was often kept, nnd farmyards
may still be found where “Betty” or
“Nanny” lives nt its case, 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 tho other
day, and bore it equalling and scratching
high in the air. When about 500 ieet
high the hawk lost its grip, and the cat
curne down with fearful velocity, but
the hawk caught it again just before it
struck the earth, and was currying it off,
when suddenly both fell like lead to tho
ground. The cat lmd bitten through the
hawk’s head, killing it instantly, and tho
fall killed tho cat, '

Somo people recommend planting in
May nnd June, and others in September
nnd October; each practice has its adher
ents, and while they arc settling which is
best we will prepare our ground by deep
trenching nnd a liberal dressing, from the
compost henp, and then we will tell them
thnt tho best timo for planting tho straw
berry is ns soon as you can get the frost
out of tlie ground in the spring. If
planted in September and October, more
than onc-linlf of tlie young plants are
thrown out nnd destroyed by frost, and if
planted in May and June, the hot, dry
weather coming on beforo 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,
nnd while there is plenty of moisture in
the ground, and generally a liberal al
lowance of showers, they commence with
the season and never go back. Tlie
strawberry should be planted two feet
apart between tho rows, and about eight
inches between tho plants ; these, the
year nfter planting, will give an abun
dant yield, and in spring should be top-
dressed with a mixture from the compost
heap and rather moro 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 nnd flowers dean during heavy rain.
When the fruiting season is over, this
long stuff can be raked off nnd carted
with other garden refuse to the heap, and
the rest of tlie stuff forked In. The plants,
should be encouraged to make good
strong crowns for next year’s fruiting. If
tho weather is very dry during June,
when tho strawberries arc coming into
flower, give copious waterings; far better
leave it alone than Half do it, and if the
ground gets two or throe 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 wo
have given the soil, here will be just the
tho deenyed parts of the heap brought
back in their place and dug in, nnd by
the fall wo will have n flourishing bed of
line, strong crowns that will yield a
splendid crop the coming season. And
this may be repented every third year,
renewing the ground and plants in the
same manner. This is a way of my own.
