Profits in Angora Goats.
The popularity of the Angora goats continues on the increase, and they are becoming the subject of conversation around the fireside in the rural homes. They are as profitable as sheep, and sheep stand highest on the farm. Their fleece, called mohair, commands a ready sale, being manufactured into dress goods, braids and plushes used in upholstering furniture and railway cars.

The meat of the Angora compares favorably with the best of mutton. Their pelts are tanned on the flesh side leaving the long, curly hair on, can be made into rugs, dyed any color, and worn as trimmings to ladies' apparel.

The Angoras will clean up the weeds, briars and undergrowth on a farm and at the same time enrich the land. Pure bucks crossed upon the common goat will in a few years develop a valuable flock.

Utility vs. Appearance.
The young breeder should not fall into the error of choosing the show ring model for his ideal brood sow. Select for a breeder rather than the fair ring.

It is a well known fact that some of the best known brood sows, noted as producing the highest priced show animals, do not have the form themselves to fill the scale of points required of a prize ring animal. They have a lightness in the neck and shoulders, extra roominess in the abdomen and a little too much length of leg and activity to make up into square built show animals. It is the strong, active sow full of vigor that is likely to do the best service in the breeding pen, and not the overfed lubber.

When once we find a promising breeder, we have better property than the average claim in a gold mine, and it will pay to see that she has proper attention at all times.
