GRASS IN NOKTH 'GEORGIA Agricultural -Department Replies to .U. .nquby * From -he Northwest. Market l-or Hogs «..u Cattle. ~ The following (inestum was asked oi Department ft few-itiys ago: Does it pay to keep Angora goacs-iu Georgia? Mr. J. C. Dalzcll of Union county an svverefi this question vAvy'ctuapiefiily in a talk With a reporter tot the Atlanta ‘Constitution. He expresses the opinion •that --the Angora goat-industry, which 'is already assuming immense propor tions in the United States, could bu made to make the poor whites of out southern mountains the most iudepend cut and prosperous rural community in the,land. “The AngtVm goat is highly profitable —much more profitable than sheep, even ■'trader the most favorable conditions. There is a strong and constantly grow* 'ing market far the hides and hair, and the meat is equal to mutton. The skins of Angora kids are in great demand by manufacturers of the finest' leather -goods. Tt costs absolutely nothing to raise the Angora in our Georgia mourn tains. Even with the ground covered with snow for weeks at a time, these goats will rustle enough twigs and bark to keep them hearty, if not fat, and or diaarily they will roll iu flesh on what a cow or sheep would reject. They eat any kind of weed or shrub, and require only* such shelter ns nature furnishes. The Angora breeder need have mo feat of wolves and ‘sheep killing- dogs. ’ Just let such varmints tackle hrs goatship. He will do the rest. Angora goats propa¬ gate fast and are readily rfomestioatod, 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, cah as safely count on handsome returns. The largest herd I know of in this mountain region is that owned by Colonel Oonnaily, a Wealthy citizen ol Asheville, N. Oi, Whose ‘ranch is near Mt. Mitchel, oh the north fork Of the Swannauoa river. He made some im¬ portations direct from. Spain, at high, figures, and is an enthusiast, spending his summers among his flock. While the high strains are very expensive,very fair stock can be purchased in the south¬ west at from $l.i>0 to $2.00 a head,which can bo bred up. “I have gone into the business on a modest scale and 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 pamphlet on Angora | culture printed by the government.” I What Mr. Dalzell says is confirmed by the yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture for 1893, which contains an illustrated article en¬ titled “Keeping Goats For Profit.” W'e do not wish to be understood as advising ‘every farmer to keep goats. But there are opportunities for the mountaineers 'of North Georgia to enter into a business far more profitable and less hazardous Thau the illicit distilling of whisky.— -State Agricultural Department. Growing Grass In North Georgia. •Question.— Propounded by a gentle¬ man living iu one of our northwestern states who 'is thinking of moving to : Georgia. 1. What kind of grass grows on tlie mountains of northern Georgia? 3. Will they produce blue grass? 3. How much are they worth per acre? 4. How many cattle will 100 acres support.? • 5. How long will they have to be fed in winter? *' (5. Could we get river bottom land to raise grain on, and at how much an acre? * 7. What are fat steers worth a pound, J live weight? Answers'to 1 the above questions: 'j. On tlie mountains and in the val¬ leys bf North Georgia are several native grasses, shell as sage, Bermuda, orchard, crab and another grass, which grows in 'bunches dr tufts, the naine of which is unknown'to hs. 2. Blue ferass dotes weU bver a great .part of the mountain sectibn of Georgia. 3. Lairds bf this part bf the state are 'Worth from $4.f)0 to $6.00 ah acre; some 'Of the best improved lands froth $10.00 to $20.00. 4. The number of cattle that'lOO acres can support will depend upon the pas ttii-ago. Some of the lauds yield from 8,000 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 feeding from four to live months (luring the winter, usually live months. 6. Good river bottom laud can be ob¬ tained at. p^jees ranging from $6 to $24 an acre, according to locality and de¬ gree of -improvement. Some of the best lands sell as high, as $50 an acre, 7. Fat ^teers are worth from 3 to S cents a pound, live weight. The price depends npon the age and condition of the animal.—State Agricultural Depart¬ ment. SUGAR CANE CULTURE, i Inf or matlon Given liy the State Ag< r!«u Itural Depart merit. Question.—S ^ _ c ome time .. since ■ T I saw 44 it stated that good cane could bo grown from the top third of oaue. Please write me if this theory cau be relied on. Any other information touching cam oulturo Will interest south Georgia planters. Answer.- lit bus boteu iltemonstrated £ Dr - C.'^bbs of the Louisiana Sugar Experiment. Station, as well til other dirocWrs> that tbe top thir<x o{ t h« cane stalk-is %ot as good, trtxt superior faP geed ptvrsioso3 . 'Dr. Stubbs toeoin mends that only this ■ portion of the plant be used fiir -seed. The tops, how @ver, should not be bdhke'd, ‘as is tht custom where tile whole Cane'is used foi see d purposes. The laud upon which cane is to be grown another season should be thoroughly prepared, and tlifl rows opened before grinding takes place, “The top third of the cane, I f says Dr. Stubbs, “should be cut off and planted in the rows in the usual manner, bul without stripping. The tops are then covered by means of a turning nlow au‘d the middles opened to alio# drainage. I To prevent freezing thobaue r tops should ( fo, covered ftftm-5 to6 inches deep. This j method'of seed saviug-is the practice ol many farmers in Louisiana, and is nc : longer an experiment. 1 ’ j The Southern Farm Magazine says \ that Dr. Stubbs, 'after' six years of expe rimeuts with a great variety of canes, | has developed a sugdr cane which is capable of yielding 30 per cent more ol j sugar than the'cane now grown in ths j state of Louisiana, ffetelaims that this j variety the Of The chtie juice will produce yields 38 phr tons to . acre. -16 cenl of sugar, while the old canto jgtves an. acreage of Sti'tb 35 tons, with a '12 pat cent yield iu the'jtticto. Small bundles of this cauo will bo furnished to planters of Louisiana free. Would it not be a good plan for a few of our Georgia farmers to interest them¬ selves iu this new variety of sugar cane, which promises so much for our sistei state? Dr. Stubbs’address is Audubon Park, New Orleans, La.—State Agri¬ cultural Department, More Pure-lireed Cattle For Georgia. In our last monthly talk mention was made of the instrumentality of the De¬ partment of Agriculture in connection with other parties in bringing into Georgia 100 short-horns and Here fords for the purpose of improving the breeds of beef cattle. Since that time two more carloads of pure breeds have been shipped into the state and sold at fair prices. All Of these, like the first lot, are youug cattle. A short while ago the prison commissioners purchased from Mr. .Murray Babcock of Vir¬ ginia, a 12-rU0nths-old Hereford bull for the prisoh farm. The animal, which is one bf the handsomest ever brought -into the state, cost $200. Judge Turner is he'gotiating for a herd of Hereford heifers fOf the purpose of raising bn the prison farm pure stock to sell to -Georgia farmers fbr breeding purposes. It must be borne ih blind that ‘Here, fords are raised fbr'beef and not for ifalik. The cows of 'this breed ftirUish only enough nlilk-tb sustain a calf. One heeds only to lobkiat a Hereford, with his short legs ahd long body, to know that he Will furnish abundance of the best beef. They are a well-marked breed, easily distinguished from other cattle by their white heads, legs, bellies aud tails and red sides. The bulls aro very docile and easily managed. The live stock department is one of the best features of the state farm. It is the intention of the commissioner ta raise on the farm not only all the meat needed for the convicts, but also the best breeds of cattle and hogs to sell to the farmers and stock raisers of Georgia at the lowest possible price.—State Agri¬ cultural 'Department. Fattening With Corn. Question.—^W hat food is best for fab tening? Answer. —We know of no better an¬ swer to this than the following, which appeared in one'of our daily papers: “For iurnishiilg food for market no food substaUfeo’kuown equals corn. Al¬ falfa, clover, Bermuda, sorghum, arti¬ chokes, sweei potatoes and peanuts are all good food to promote growth aud make lean meat; : Bht 'Cbrn for adding the plumpness that -rdaites porkers sell, cannot be improved upon, as far as is at present known. We can raise more corn than all the hogs iu tlie world can eat, and raise hogs enough to eat all the corn we can grow. This Is a fact; not a paradox,” The best way to use this corn is fo grind it into meal before feeding, for then it is more digestible. Raising Hogs. Question.— By a correspondent from another state—L Is it profitable to raise hogs in North Georgia? 2. Will they fatten if allowed to range through the woods? Answer.— 1. A great many hogs are raised iu North Georgia and, like the beef of that section, find a ready market. 2. During at least seven months of the year they range the woods and grow fat on acorns, chestnuts, hickory nuts and such other food as they can pick up. But of course, like any overstock, hogs need the attention and care of man to produce the best result*.'—State Agri 'cultural Department. a m # Eg k •3 'F 1 V*" WINE OF CARDUI haa broiig:Rt' SMtfortng , i>Arraakn«mt'r®Hof who to a mi! iioo women were on their way to premature graves, Mr*.
