prediction haa bean made that within tha
next decade a troodly portion of the untena
ble brunh land In the United States will be
converted by It Into available farming land.
Tha Angora la proving Ita value aa a gen
eral utility animal for tho American farmer,
and Its aervices are nadly needed byf farm
era In many parta of the country. Many an
abandoned farm, which had been glvan over
to all kinds of rank growths, under tha
pruning and, trimming given p by the An
gora seat haa beeu transformed into a
condition of fertility and uraf ulnesa that
xceeded its palmy days. I
The Angora is profitable in many ways,
the mohair can be put to various uses In
tha manufacture of fabrics, tha fleh has
wort recognition as a first clans food stuff,
and the milk of the Angora, undw repeated
tests, has proven richer and of better taste
than cow's milk. Tha Angora has certainly
found a warm spot In the heart of the
American fanner and a history of the good
It has accomplished In this country within
a remarkably jhort space of time makes an
tetarestlng story.
Orl.l. . t.o As.ora.
The , Angora was first made . known ' in
by Father Belon, who had traveled
extensively In Asia Minor. Father Belon'a
brlnf description caused many to think tha
Turkish province of Angora was the borne
of this animal. There Is nothing on .which
, to baso this claim, aside, from the modern
world having first heard of the Angora in
that province. In any event, since . that
time it has been known as the Angora.
Thjse who claimed the Angora originated
tn the provlnoe of that name cited the
fact that the climate was peculiarly
adapted to the needs of . the animal and
wan ultftgether responsible for Its benuttful,
t silky hair. And the argument seemed con
clusive when It was further shown that
the rabbit and cat of that province had the
same kind of coveting. But when the
"kurd," a low grade of goat, with black,
oarse hair, was discovered in the same
province, the theory was dissipated.
Others have maintained that the Angora
sprung from the famoua Cashmere goat of
central and northern Asia. To all appear
ances the animals are the same, and the
two constitute the only known strictly
lanlgerous goat The Cashmere Is quite
large, the horns are flattened, straight and
black and slightly divergent at the ex
tremities. The primary hair, which Is
long,1 silky and lustrous,' divides upon the
back and lies In wavy masses alone; the
flanks. In the autumn beneath this hair
there Is developed a short and exceedingly
flue wool, from which the famous Cash
mere shawla are made. But the points
of difference between the two are numer-
ous, although not apparent to a casual ob
server. So the exact origin of the An
gora la shrouded. In mystery and the
naturalists will doubtless continue to dis
pute over the question, as In the past.
latrodactloa to Karope.-
The Bosnian government Imported a flock
tn lit, which marks the Introduction of
the Angora Into Europe. In 1660 Toume
W l- VJ1I.31 UUUIIBl W 1119 VI A
bad reported that:
' They .rear the finest gnats In the world
In the Champaign of Angora. They das
ale with their whiteness, and their hair.
wnicn is as nne as sua, curling nauirany
In tresses, eight or nine Inches long, is the
material of many stuffs. . . .
Thereafter the Angora' was Imported to
oilier places, and In 11166 Cape Town nuer
, chaata became greatly Interested. Sir
Titus (Salt, who had made a failure with
tha Angora in Kngiand, co-operated with
the South African tradesmen and more
than S, 000 Angoras were quietly transferred.
The foople of Turkey thought the Angora
could not be Veared successfully elsewhere;
that nature had given them exclusive priv
ileges. About fifteen yearsater Turkey
realised lis mistake, as the exports from
South fAfrloa had risen from 885 pounds In
lStjo to 210.000 pounds In 1878, which was
one-half the amount Turkey was then
producing. The -ultan- then Issued an
edict prohibiting the shipment of Angoras,
but It came too late, and today the South
African Industry is, greater than that of
Turkey. ,
The Angora goat of Turkey differs
greatly from the Angora as now propagated
In this country In point of else. AH au
thorities agree that the early Angora goat
was small and delicate, shearing from two
to two and one-half pounds of mohair. It
Is not an uncommon sight now to hear of
Individual bucks shearing as high as fifteen
to eighteen pounds and does shearing nine
to ton pounds. v
la the Valted States.
The Introduction of the Angora Into the
t'nlted States dates from 1849, when Dr.
lames B. Davis of Columbia, S. C, brought
over a small flock. Dr. Davis had devoted
himself to the study' of agriculture, and In
IM4 President Polk, la response to a
request from the sultan, appointed hfrn
is the proper person to Introduce the
vulture-of cotton Into Turkey. His con
tract procured for him a yearly salary of
$12,V0 In gold, a residence, carriage ard
horea. After a three years' stay In
Turkey, when about to depart, the sultan
presented Mrs. Davis with an additional,
purse of fX.Wto, a portion of which Was
Invested in the purchase of a small flock
of Angora goats snd some other animal.
The goats did well In this country, snd Dr.
Davis said of them:
In locating hwe animals In different
fwtlona of South Carolina, I can se no
difference between those reared here and
the Imported, with the exception that those
reared In this stste are finer and heavier
fleeced than the Imported.
In 1PM Dr. Davis disposed of Ms entire
flock to Colonel Richard Peters of Atlanta,
Oa., who Is regarded as the father of the
Angora goat Industry in the United States,
for In all probability had he not become
Interested In them they would soon hare
scattered and died out. Descendants of
the original flock are today the-property
of an Iowa farmer, where they have done
valiant service In the clearing of new and
the reclaiming of old lands.
Groat as Grabbers.
The Angora will thrive where the soil
Is not marshy or swampy. A dry, rocky,
mountainous country Is best, but the goat
will do well on any land . which la dry, and
hilly, or rolling. While the Angora has
proven to be a money maker along other
lines, the greatest profit from them is to
be ' found in the cleanlng-out - process on
some old worn-out farm, that has grown
up with briars and brush, thereby restoring
It to a condition of fertility and usefulness.
Or by the conversation . of some native
forest, or stump land. Into good farms.
The latter plan- has been carried on ex
tensively, and with pronounced success. In
Iowa. Oregon and California, The eastern
and older states offer many opportunity
along both lines, and many of the
abandoned farms can be restored to their
original fertility. ' "
In Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas farm
era are troubled with a most aggravating
growth, termed "buck" brush, which pro
duces a small, red berry, of which birds are
very fond and which they distribute all
over that section, to such an extent that In
some places entire fields have been covered.
The brush throws out a running root, and
in a short time the pastures become prac
tically worthless. No kind of stock will
touch It, snd for a time It. was a serious
question as to whether It could be ex
terminated. The first experiment with the
Angpra solved , the problem and .now the
Angora Is fast being . shipped into these
states. The Angora goat regards the Ca
nadlan thistle as one of the choicest kinds
of diet and it cannot thrive where the An
gora Is found. ,
-.One of the pioneers In the Angora Indus
try regards the Angora aa '"a veritable
gold mine as a brush exterminator." They
not only clear the ground of brush and
weeds, but enrich It evenly as they work.
thus giving the blue grass, where It Is nat
urally grown, a chance to grow luxuriantly.
The Angora not only lives but thrives on
that which is considered of no value.,

from t& to (15 per acre to have It cleared.
and even then a large portion of the very
best kind of grass land Is too rough to plow.
Along tha streams there are innumerable
nooks, bends and bluffs that could never be
plowed. After such land Is pastured for a
number of years it becomes set In briars.
buck bruBh or turkey berry, so that neanly
all of the grass dies. A few Angora goats
will kill all such .growths as clean as If
swept by fire and make It yield more grass
thsn before.
The Angora does not kill the brush by
eating It. They only denude the branch of
tts leaves, and continue to do this until the
brush is sick to the very extremity of Its
roots, causing them to die aa soon as the
tops, consequently there Is no sprouting.
Land cleared In the old way will have
more or less sprouts for many years, and
especially In the nooks, and bends ' In
branches and fence corners., which render
them very unsightly. Aa the Angora is a
browsing, and not. a grazing animal, he
becomes doubly valuable to the man with
brush or weedy land. I
lees of Hfoblr.
Another great source of x profit Is the
mohair secured from the Angora. Mohair
la not a substitute for wool, but occupies
Its own place In the textile fabrics. It has
tho feel, the lustre and aspect of silk, with
out Its suppleness. It lacks tha felting
quality, and therein differs materially-from
wool; and the stuffs made from It have
the fibres distinctly separated and are al
waya brilliant, and since they' do not re
tain dust or spots, they become particularly
valuable for furniture goods. '
The fibre Is dyed with great facility, and
Is tha only textile fabrlo which takes equ
ally the dyes Intended for all tissues.
Mohair Is seldom woven alone, on account
of Its fibre. When used for filling, the
warp la usually of cotton, siik or wool, or
the reverse. While soft, mohair Is at the
same time gifted with elasticity, lustre
and durability of fibre, with sufficient firm
ness to permit of Its being spun. Its lustre
and durability, peculiarly fit It for the
manufacture of braids, buttons and bind
ings, which greatly outwear those, of
silk or wooL The qualities of lustre Ithd
elasticity fit It for Its chief use the manu
facture of Utrecht velvets, commonly
called furniture pluah, the finest qualities
of which are composed principally of mo
hair. The best mohair plushes are practic
ally Indestructible. They have been in
constant use on railroad cars for several
years, and are In good condition today,
and are now sought after br all railroads
as the most enduring of all coverings.
I sed for Unnnrr aaa Winter.
Mnhalr Is now largely consumed tn the
fabrication of light summer goods. They
are woven with warps of silk and cotton,
and to the development of this manufacture
Is due, prlnelpaily, the Improvements In the
unaklng of fine cotton warps, the combina
tion of wool with mohair not being found
advantageous. Mohair Is largely coming
Into use to form the rile of certain styles
of plushes used for Indies' cloaklngs; also
for the pile of the best fabrics styled
astrackans. Narrow strips of the skin of
the Angora, with the fleece attached, have
recently been In fashion for trimmings, and
large prices were obtained for a limited
number of pelts for that purpose.
The skins with the fleece attached will
continue to , bring a good, price for foot
rugs,, on-account of their peculiar luster
and the advantages they possess over those
made of wool In not being liable to felt.
The trade In Angora skins Increases rap-
Idly and furnishes the most perfect substi
tute . for animal furs that can be found.
The skin can be, taken at various stages
In the growth of the hair, and can be made
to represent very many of the wild animal
skins so perfectly that an expert can
scarcely detect them from the genuine. The
monkey skin mult and boa, so commonly
worn by young women, is a mohair product.
The bear Is another skin that mohair will
duplicate, and when properly dyed will defy
the moRt expert furrier:
Meat la Now Profitable.
It Is only a few years ago that the senti
ment against goat meet was so strong It
was impossible to find a sale for the Angora
venison, though It was not uncommon fof
packers to slaughter a few when ' shipped
with a lot of sheep. Today no trouble Is
experienced in disposing of the Angora
venison arM the demand Is Increasing rap
idly. Hence the Angoia venison Is now
recognised as a standard class of meats on
the daily markets.
The skin of the common goat is coarse
grained and thick, while that of the An
gora is thin and fine grained, and la not at
all suitable for leather, i The difference tn
the quality of meat In still greater. Angora
venison being much superior to the com
mon goat. - .
Its superior richness alone distinguishes
the milk of female Angora from that of the
cow. The cream separates from the' milk
vety tardily, and never so completely as
In the case of cow's milk. The superior
richness, however, of the Angora's milk
renders the use of cream needless.
The milk of the cow yields 12.8 per cent
of solid, while that 'of the Angora yields
17 per cent The Angora milk also yields
more butter, less sugar, but considerable
more caseine, than that of the cow, and the
taste of the Angora milk Is much to be pre'
ferred by those accustomed to it.

It was In a Philadelphia publlo school
the other day, relates the Public Ledger,
that a class in spelling was going over a
lesson In words of two syllables. One of
the . words was "mummy." "Children,"
said the teacher, "how many of you know
the meaning of the word " 'mummy?
After a long silence one little girl raised
her hand.
"Well, Maggie ?"
"It means yer mother.
The teacher pointed out her .'mistake, and
explained fully the -meaning of the word.
Presently the word "poppy" had to be
spelled.
"Who knows what 'poppy means?" asked
the teacher.
The same little girl raised her hand, this
time brimful confidence.
"Well, what's the answer, Maggie?
"It means a man mumy," replied the
child. ' . ,
In a certain mountain town, says Lippin
cott's Magaxine, lived a little boy of
who was very much frightened at the
thought of a bear in fact. It was the only
animal or thing ho was afraid of and his
mother, In trying to keep him from running
Into the street and playing In the Irrigating
ditches, and wandering away to a little
unkept park, told hlro he must not go, for
there were bears there. This frightened
William and the following day he sat on
the doorstep tn a very quiet mood. When
asked by the village clergyman, who was
passing by, why he did not go out and
play, William replied: "I must not go out
of the gate, for there are bears In the roads
and down In the park." The minister
laughingly replied: "No, thers no bears
anywhere around." but William Insisted
there were. The minister said: "Let's go
in and ask mamma about It," and mamma
had to acknowledge she simply told Will
iam that to keep him from running away
rrom nomo. .When alone with the little boy
the mother aald: "Willam. mamma Is
sorry she told you a story about the bears,
and I guess we had better let me ask God
to forgive her," whereupon William said:
"Mamma, you hsd better let me ask God.
for maybe he wouldn't believe you."

To a reporter for The Bee Mr. Carroll
said: "I left Nome September 3 and
am now enroute to Atlanta, Ga., to visit my
parents, whom I have not seen for ten or
twelve years. I have been in Alaska, at
Dawson, Nome and other points about
nine years. Tea, I have met with reason-

in-law, I cleared up over fl.000.000. My

"When I get home I am going to fix up the

heard from me for nearly te years.
'I went to Nome about four years ago
and am Interested In a number of good
mining properties there. We made the trip
from Dawson by dog sled over the Ice down
the Yukon, 1.800 miles. Nome Is a town
of about 8,000 Inhabitants. There are
eighty-six saloons in the town. Mail la
received there about once a week during
the open season from June to the last of
September. The rest of the year Is a closed
season because of the Ice. The summers
are just as nice as -one could want, but
mosquitoes and gnats flourish In great
shape. The town lies along the beach and
is about a mile In length by 100 yards In
width. A number of big stores are located
there and all sorts of gambling prevails,
An ordinary drink costs two bits, but It
used to bring $1. ,
'There Is no fuel in tha country except
what Is brought from Seattle and that
now brings 120 per ton. It used to bring
1100. All the teaming Is done by dogs.
They can make about 100 miles per day.
The horses thst were brought there a few
years ago were no good and they were
subsequently killed for dog feed. Some
fish can be had there, but most of the
provisions are canned stuff and beef shipped
from Seattle.
'Some good mining claims are still to be
found In the country, especially at Anvil
Creek, Dexter Creek, Gallatin Bay and
Council. The latter place Is about sixty-
five -rnilcs from Nome. Law and order
prevail fairly well, since the government
has located troops there, i But the law and
order conditions are much better at Daw

and what It says goes.
Beach Mlaes Exhaosted.
"The beach mines are about played out
and about the only good mining claims
are to be found under the tundra. This
la a heavy growth of moss, which varies
from two to three feet In depth, and It
has to be plowed off .before a claim can bo
worked. - Underneath this Is sand from
three to four feet deep and the gold usually
lies on top of the bedrock at that depth
To get at It a man will have to dig about
a foot or so through the frozen sand and
then let It lay for a day or two to thaw
and then dig again. Only about three
months In the year can mining be carried
on. The torn and rocker are used In some
Instances, but the genersl plan ef mining
Is sluice mining. . We are beginning to think
up there that the gold Is washed up from
the sea, as there Is no record yet of the
mother lode being found up. nearer the
hills. The tundra plains extent! about six
miles back from the seacoast and very few
paying claims have yet been found in the
hills. There is some quarts and as you
get nearer the hills the gold gets mixed
with baser metals and la hardly worth the
digging. What smelting we have to do Is
done at Seattle, thoygh some quicksilver
amalgam work Is done with the flour and
finer nugget gold. The gold is usually
found in small nuggets from the size of a
grain of sand up to that of a bean.

"Daylight begins there about April 1
ana continues until August L However
for about half an hour the sun sinks below
the horlion one day !n-the middle of June
and then 'reappears, to remain In sight
constantly until August 1. From that time
until September 1 is twilight, and night
continues until about Christmas, getting
lighter gradually each day until March,
when the sun reapphars, and morning dawn
continues up to April sgain before you can
call It real daylight. It is rather funny
sometimes to see old Callfornians and
others, newcomers to the country, waiting
forty-eight of seventy-two hours at the
night season for bedtime to come. The
only wsy we can reckon tint is by the cal
endars and our watches. Sunday is for

to return to the States to And how old he Is.
. "Most of the people who do not intend
wintering there have left Nome by this
time, for after October there Is no vessel
communication at all until next spring with
Seattle. During the summer time all kinds
of grass grows on the tundra flats snd It
makes fine feed for cattle and they fatten
quickly on It. There is not soil enough to
raise any vegetables an (J we have to depend
upon Seattle for everything of this kind.
Huckleberries grow there abundantly on
little low bushes scarcely six Inches high
during the summer snd about the only
game to bo found there Is ptmargln, a bird
much like the grouse. They are very
abundant In season and make the finest
kind of eating.
"The natives up there are gradually dying
out. The smallpox Is extremely fatal to
them and ovr half of the native popula

the past few years from this disease. The
mines up the Yukon do not seem to pad
out very well and the prospectors are leav
ing them gradually.- Borne gooof beach
claims are occasionally found down the
coast from Nome, but the area seldom ex
ceeds a mile and they are soon worked
out. The plan of sea mining along the coaal
Is a failure and entirely abandoned.''

Buy Good Rubbers.
The trouble with rubbers has been
you didn't know whether they were good
or not until you had worn them awhile;
then when you found they were poor, all
you could do was to buy another pair
and go through the same process again.
No need of that now; there are good
rubbers in the market; better-than-usual.
They cost you the same as the usual, plus
the trouble of asking for them. ;
Tell your shoe-man you want Selz
Royal Blue Rubbers and take no other.
