^ -----—
Agricultural Department Replies to
an Inquiry From the Northwest.
Market For Hogs and Cattle.
The following question was asked ot
the Department a few days ago: Does it
pay to keep Angora goats in Georgia?
Mr. J. O. Dalzell of Union county an¬
swered this question very completely in
a talk with a reporter of the Atlanta
Constitution. He expresses the opinion
that ‘‘the Angora goat industry, which
is already assuming immense propor¬
tions in the United States, could be
made to make the poor whites of out
southern mountains the most independ¬
ent aud prosperous rural community in
the laud.
“The Angora goat is highly profitable
—much more profitable than sheep, even
under the most favorable conditions.
There is a strong and constantly grow
ing market for the hides nml hair, aud
the meat is equal to mutton. The skins
of Angora kids are in great demand by
manufacturers of the finest leather
goods. It costs absolutely nothing to
raise the Angora in our Georgia moun¬
tains. -Even with the grouud covered
with snow for weeks at a time, these
goats will rustle enough twigs and bark
to keep them hearty, if not fat, aud or¬
dinarily they will roll in flesh on what
a cow or sheep would reject. They eal
any kind of weed or shrub, aud require
only such shelter as nature furnishes.
The Angora breeder need have no fear
of wolves and ‘sheep killing dogs. ’ Just
let such varmints tackle his goatship.
He will do the rest. Angora goats propa¬
gate fast and are readily domesticated,
making great pets.
‘‘Of course, while the industry is in
its infancy in the east, breeding stock is
high and hard to get. Hundreds of
level-headed capitalists are figuring out
prospective fortunes in Angora goats,
and the humble farmer, with a small
start, can as safely count on handsome
returns. The largest herd I know of in
this mountain region is that owned by
Colonel Conually, a wealthy citizen of
Asheville, N. C., whose ranch is near
Mt. Mitckel, on the north fork of the
Swaunanoa river. He made some im¬
portations direct from Spain, at high
figures, aud is an enthusiast,
his summers among his flock.
the high strains are very expensive,very
fair stock can be purchased in the south¬
west at from $1.50 to $2.00 a head,which
can be bred up.
‘‘I have gone into the business on a
modest scale aud feel sure of my ground.
To anyone who is interested, I would
suggest that they write to the agricul¬
tural department at Washington, or get
their congressman to procure for them
the very complete uamphlet on Angora
culture printed by the government.”
What Mr. Dalzell says is confirmed
by the yearbook of the United States
Department of Agriculture for 1S9S,
which contains an illustrated article en¬
titled “Keeping Goats For Profit.”
do not wish to be understood as
every farmer to keep goats. But
are opportunities for the
of North Georgia to enter into a
far more profitable aud less
than the illicit distilling of whisky.—

2. Will thev produce blue grass?
3. ti How much are they worth
How many cattle will 100 acres
support?
6 How long will tliev " have to be fed
in winter?
6. Could we get river bottom land to
raise grain on, and at how much an
acre?
7. What are fat steers worth a pound ,
live weight?
Answers to the above questions:
1. On the mountains aud iu the val
leys , of ,.. Nort Georgia „ are several , native .
grasses, such as sage, Bermuda, orchard,
crab and another grass, which grows iu
bunches or tufts, the name of which is
unknown to us.
2. Blue grass does well over a great
part of the mountain section of Georgia.
3. Lauds of this part of the state are
worth ... from $4.00 to $6.00 j.,, an acre; some
of the best improved lands from $10.00
to $20.00.
4. The number of cattle that 100 acres
can support will depend upon the pas¬
turage. Some of the lauds yield from
3,000 to 6,000 pounds of hay to the acre;
others from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. You
may judge from that.
5. The cattle require feediug from
four to five mouths during the winter,
usually five months.
6. Good river bottom laud can be
tained at prices ranging from $6 to $21
an acre, according to locality and
greo of improvement. Some of the best
lauds sell as high as $50 an acre.
7. Fat steer* are worth from 8 to 3
ceuts a pound, live weight. The price
depends upon the age aud condition of
the animal ' * ' * ’"
Horseshoes.
Horseshoes are of uncertain dote and
have caused some discussion among
military historians. Nailed shoes were
not known by the Greeks, for Xeuo
pbou gives minute instructions for
hardening the hoof. Nor did the Ito
maus use them. Nero had mules shod
With a plate of silver fastened by
crossed thongs to the hoof. With I’op

were of gold. The earliest posi¬
evidence of nailed shoes Is fur¬

BOERS IN TRADE.
They Know How to Came the Hag*
lish Trouble In That Line Too.
The South African Dutch are sup
posed to be "conquered,” says the New
York World, yet there are a few points
In which the vanquished Boers have
not yielded. "Joint stock stores” con
B ututo the chief of these. The Dutch
joint stock stores arc to mean the ruin
c f Die English traders in South Africa.
Aud the English traders know it.
Six mouths ago the Dutch established
one such co-operative concern in every
available country town. The equip¬
ment for trade was generous enough to
Include almost everything that could
come within the ordinary demand. The
prices were reasonable, aud every
burgher had a modest share in the
stock.
The advantages <>f this were plain
enough. Every Dutchman grasped at
them. And the deatli blow to foreign
traders was struck. Yet Sir Alfred
Milner, sending home a dispatch at this
time, ridiculed the movement and de¬
clared that the Dutch by challenging
British commercial enterprise were in¬
juring themselves. Such statements
misled no one. At the end of August
there was held n meeting of the vigi¬
lance committee. whereat the new tnen
n< i.- to trade was discussed. Many of
the Cape delegates confessed them- .
selves in ali-c ine < • '1‘ ,U1 ■ 11 ape
Colony,” they told each other, "to be an
Englishman means ruin.” As a matter
of fact there was nothing that the
British could do.
The situation now is that many
ish traders in the midland towns are
already being rapidly ruined by the
course of separate trading now pursued
by the Dutch. The British wholesale
dealers iu the coast towns will meet
the same fate unless they can under¬
sell their German competitors, to whom
otherwise the Dutch custom will go in
preference, as it lias already begun to
do. The Germans are quite alive to the
opportunity, the bulk of the German
population of the colony being pro
Boer. Many German citizens who for¬
merly adhered to the progressive party
so called have now gone over to the
Afrikander.
The British in South Africa are not
farmers, but traders.

So John took a box of matches and

WASTE OF INVENTION.
Ken Dlacoverlea Send C'ontiy Machin¬
ery to the Scrap Heap.
It seems almost as though it were the
other day that the scientific journals
and the professional engineers were
speaking with enthusiasm of the won¬
derful forge hammer set up at a vast
expense by the Bethlehem Steel corpo¬
ration, writes Holland in the Philadel¬
phia Press. It could strike with a force
of 100 Titans or with the softness of
velvet. Y'et within a year or two after
this superb machine was set up it was
cheerfully thrown to the scrap heap
because it had been discovered that the
new hydraulic process would do the
same work cheaper and tu every re
spect better.
So, too, Mr. Carnegie, after expending
hundreds of thousands of dollars in es
tablishiug vast furnace plants, in the
course of a year or two pitched the en
tire machinery to the scrap heap be¬
cause there were better processes uew
discovered furnishing a greater prod
uet at less cost.

supremacy and that unquestionably ac¬

“What be going to cal! un, nurse?”
“Missus says it's to be William," was
tbe reply. “William be Mowed!” said
the invalid. “Call un plain Bill’” In
accordance with these laconic instruc

FREAKS IN LUNCH ORDERS.
Walter Calla Attention to the Imita¬

One of the causing things to be no¬

of imitation, If the ma® on the end

ders a ham sandwich, pumpkin pie and
a glass of milk, all his neighbors and are
likely to duplicate his order, soon
there will be a whole row eating ex¬
actly the same tilings. Sometimes this
similarity of appetite causes serious
embarrassment. This is invariably the
case if the occupants of the high chairs
shift about the same time aud the men
on the end have numerous chances to
set examples for 20 or 30 patrons, then
the pumpkin pie or sandwiches are
6ure to give out before the noon hour Is
past. people are,”
"It’s funny how lazy
said one of the waiters at a down
town lunch place. “There are lots of
men who won’t look at a hill of fare,
and they just stare over the counter
aud ask for anything that comes into
their beads if they don’t happen to see
another fellow eating just what they
want. If we have something sort of
out of the ordinary, like fried oysters,
something that can be written on the
card in ink. so it will make a good im¬

Teitlns Rifle Barrels.
A rifle barrel held ln a vise will not
shoot accurately. The passage of r
bullet through the bore expands the
j "KW.V are^undulating ceTt . a,D . curves! de ^
Dorma , t atug
The pressure of the vise Interrupts the
curves, chokes the barrel at the point
of pressure and probably deforms the
bullet ln Its cross section. To test a
rifle rest the barrel near the muzzle
upon n bag filled with sand. The spring
of the barrel from the rest will cause
It to shoot one point higher than when
held offhand, an error that all riflemen
understand.
Your correspondent who advises the
rise test Is no rifleman.—Allen Kelly In
