ANGORA GOATS IN TEXAS. !
Ι
Proving to Ik' Great lnduMr}' in
Southwest Texas.
San Antonio Texas April 18.—
Three-fourths of the angora goats j
raised in the United States are |
grown in Southwest Texas. The in- !
dustry Is a very profitable one. Ac- j
cording to the testimony of S. F. I
Richardson of Junction in Kimball
county which is corroborated by H.
E. Wilson president of the First
State Bank of Junction Richardson ι
made a profit of a thousand dollars |
in eighteen months' time on an in-
vestment of $1500 in angora goats.
He paid $1012 for the nannies and
$114 for the billies. His expenses in-
cluding interest rent of pasture land
—-as he owned no land salting
herding shearing etc. during the
entire time amounted to $499.95. He
sold mutton as the goat meat is call-
ed amounting to $50 mohair $323.-
48 and lately sold the flock and its
increase for $2150 making a profit
of $1097.53. During this time Mr.
Riihardson carried on his usual
farming operations and the angora
business was a side issue. He says
that for a man with limited capital
who wants to live in the open for
his health it offers the best possibili-
ties than any other industry he
knows of.
The goats are herded by dogs
which are trained and so intelligent
that one dog can do«*he work of
three men. In the larger herds a
Mexican herder is usually sent out
with the dogs but in the smaller
flocks the dogs carry them out alone
In the morning and bring them back
in the evening.
STEPS ON A CAT.
Animal Howls and Man Screams as
They Roll l)own Stairway.
Pittsburg Pa. April 18.—Francis
Carnahan of North Braddock Is in
the hospital and the family cat
which is responsible for his being
:here is in disgrace although unin-
jured.
Mr. Carnahan was out late and
when he came home about midnight
!ie took off his shoes in the hall and
started upstairs on tip-toe. On the
:op stair was the cat. Carnahan did
lot see her and stepped on her
amidships.
There was a chorus of howls
'rom the cat and screams from Car-
tahan as both tumbled down the
stairs. The excitement aroused the
îousehold and Mr. Carnahan was
'ound to be badly injured.
Mr. Cocke In the City.
Hon. W'. A. Cocke of San Antonio
irrived In the city this morning on '
he Katy Flyer and spent two or
hree hours here waiting for a train
ο Ennis where he spoke this after-
ιοοη on Baileyism. Mr. Cocke will ι
'peak at the courthouse tonight be-
ginning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Cocke is the ι
nan who preferred the charges ι
igainst Senator Bailey during the
hlrtletb legislature.
Necessary Information About Alfalfa
It is little cause for wonderment
that almost every farmer who has
land suitable for the purpose is sow-
ing some of it to alfalfa. This is said
in view of the splendid returns re-
ported from many who are profiting
by its cultivation. For instance a
dispatch to the News from Kinkfish-
er Ok. a few days or so ago says
that off of thirteen and one-half acres
of land A1 Charleston cut three
props of alfalfa hay worth $405
and thrrshed out 110 bushels of
seed from the fourth cutting which
he sold at $10 per bushel making a
total of $1505 worth of hay and
seed from thirteen and oae-half
îcres or a fraction over $111.50 per
icre. Mr. Charleston intends sowing
more alfalfa in the spring. It would
be difficult to plant land to a crop
hat is more profitable than that
asp«cially when it is considered that
ifter a stand has once had it is so Ut-
ile trouble afterwards anc1 the ex-
pense of harvesting and market-
ing is very little comparatively
speaking. This splendid clover is
proving to be a money-maker for
housands of farmers throughout the
?oufitry. It would be still more wide-
ly cultivated if the farmers generally
were more familiar with the soils to
which it is best adapted and also
with the proper manner of its sow-
ing and cultivation. It is adapted to
ill soils and a knowledge of its
proper planting harvesting and
marketing is necessary to make its
production successful and profitable.
Those who contemplate testing
their land for the growth of alfalfa
ihouid get all possible information
>n the subject in order that they
nay givejt a fair test. Much of such
nformation can be obtained by writ-
ng to the Department of Agricul-
:ure Washington D. C. for bulle-
ins on the subject which will be
sent free to any address. These bul-
etins or others on the sume sub-
|ect. may also be gotten by address-
ng the Texas A. & M. College Col-
ege Station Texas. There are also
many individuals who have had ex-
perience in growing this plant who
would be glad to give all needed in-
formation on the subject. Among
he*e is Col. R. E. Smith of Sher-
iian who has been a preacher of the
Idvantages of alfalfa-growing for
nany years and has delivered hun-
Ireds of addresses on the subject
hroughout this and other states. He
iractlces what he preaches for he
îas over a thousand acres of fine
and devoted to the production of
his splendid forage. In fact it may
ie said of him that he has been a
jioneer in the production of alfalfa
η Texas and is now more impressed
vith its advantages and profits than
(ver.
Many men have undertaken the
growing of alfalfa without first hav-
ng proper knowledge of the neces-
;ary requirements for its planting
ind production and made failure^
>f their work when the real cause of
heir want of success was due kndw-
edge in regard to its growth. Others
lave failed because of not having
'soil that was not suitable to its
growth which they should have
known before planting it. It might
be well to state also that rare should
be taken to know that the seed
bought are pure alfalfa seed as it is
sometimes found that seed l>0'iiht i
for alfalfa seed contain other seeds j
that produce injurious plants.
The News has just published frj:u
time to time many articles on this
subject and will in the future. It is
the part of wisdom for every farmer
not only to know how to cultivate a
crop but also for him to know the
plants to which his soil is best adapt-
ed.—Dallas News.

A Good Performance.
Owing to the threatening eondi- |

at the opera house last night was
light but the performance given by
Johnny Galvin and company was a
good one. The music was tuneful
and the dances cleverly executed.
Another performance will be given
