WILL, goats pay on Oregon farms
and ranges? This question has
been answered in the affirmative
by numerous Oregon farmers. Under
the old and mistaken idea that they
would care for themselves, they did not
' pay; but with care and shelter equal
to that given to sheep, they do pro
duce a definite profit.
Many who have lands otherwise un
productive are employing Angora goats
to reclaim them from the growth of
underbrush. For cleaning up along
roads and fence lines goats have proved
their utility. Pastured on stubble In
the Fall they make a good living. They
are most valuable, however, on brush
ranges.
Attention of the United States De
partment of Agriculture has been given
to goats as browsers and several bul
letins have been issued on the subject.
One now In preparation deals with the
grazing problem on forest areas. It
proved by the men who have worn it.
Mutton value of the goat is not con
sidered in Oregon, but In the Middle
West It is a very important addition to
the meat supply. Kansas City slaugh
ters many thousand goats each year.
These pass into distributive channels
and are consumed as Spring lamb or
the usual mutton bought over the
counter.
The goat has been the friend of man
kind from Biblical times. In return it
bas been made synonymous for con
tempt and ridicule. Yet it has come
into the livestock field as an importan
producer, finding recognition from Its
absolute merit.
Oregon Production 600.000 Pound.
Estimates for the past three years
indicate annual production of about
500.000 pounds of mohair in Oregon, in
dicating, perhaps, 125.000 Angora goats
in this state. Lane County has on Its
assessment rolls 22,000, Lincoln County
Is exDected to be ready about Janu-1 about the same number. PolK, t,tnn
nrr 1. t ' Marlon. Douglas. Jackson an other
Oregon Grower Not Orgaalsed.
Oregon as an Angora goat state does
not appear as prominently as some oth
ers. for the reason that there is no
state organization of growers. Tet Ore
gon leads all the states In production
of fine breeding stock.
An entire exhibit barn was occupied
by the Angora goats at the 191 S Ore
gon State Fair. Only five breeders were
represented, but the showing made by
these exhibitors could not be surpassed
. In any part of the world for fineness
of fleece and character of the animals
themselves. Several hundred dollars in
prizes were awarded to exhibitors.
Ranging from Spring kids, the list
Included aged does and bucks of aristo
cratic lineage up to 7 and 8 years ol
age.
Usefulness of Angoras often goes be
yond the age of 10 years, both as sires
and as producing does. The older the
animal the more wiry is the fleece. It
lacks spinning qualities desired, which
are found in highest degree in the year
lings. The mohair from a 5 or 6-year-
old goat will show finest milling quail
ties, but as a rule, the fleece coarsens
with age.
Oregon, with thousands of acres of
brush ranges on cut-over lands, affords
unlimited expanse for increase of An
gora goat growing.
One very important point is that
rare must be given goats in severe
weather, and shelter must be provided
equal to that given to sheep. In years
when Angora goats were more numer
ous in Oregon than now, it was re
peatedly heard that "Angoras would
take care of themselves."
Shelter Shonld Be Provided.
Whether they use it regularly or not,
shelter should- be available for goats
on the range. They will huddle under
trees or on the "lee side of logs In the
open, but the goat farmers who spread
the report referred to probably had
losses, and later condemned the An
cora business as a losing game.
One case in particular may be noted:
A Washington State farmer paid $4 a
head for 1000 Angora goats, when they
were less valuable than now in the
market. He turned them loose under
the impression that they would need no
care or shelter, and after two years he
found he had scarcely any remaining.
They were scattered over the Olympic
range of mountains and many hunters
brought In reports of having killed wild
goats, which were found to be excel
lent venison. Had this man supplied
herder, sheds and salt licks, he would
not have lost his Investment.
To secure best results. Angoras
should be kept on ranges where they
can be counted at frequent Intervals.
In many clearings will be found piles
or limbs and brush which have laid
for years and have been covered with
a growth of vines and berry bushes.
Climbing is one of the natural traits
of the goat. He will mount these
tacks of brush to get at the leaves at
the top. ' The decayed wood will not
hold bis weight and he becomes en
tangled so fast that, unless human aid
Is given, he perishes.
He will stand on hind legs and reach
all browse to a height of six or seven
feet. Two seasons are required to kill
off vine maple and willow growths. For
this reason the best plan is to fence off
such areas as are desired to be entirely
cleared by intensive grazing. For
preservation of open range, herders are
best employed.
Mohair Fabric Superior.
Various uses are being devised for
mohair, the fleece of the Angora goat.
Recently the United States Government
ordered in excess of ISO.OOO yards of
melton" cloth for use In Army uni
forms. This fabric contains from 20
to SO per cent of mohair, combined with
wool. The resulting cloth has been
tested In actual Army service and has
been found superior to the former all
wool textiles in use. It is durable.'
fakes dye readily and has been ap. 1
counties in Western Oregon have con
siderable numbers, but no census has
been made. The principal goat-raising
section of the United states comprises
the Southwestern states, Texas. New
Mexico and Arizona, with large herds
in litah, Colorado. Missouri, Arkansas
and Oklahoma.
Oregon growers should be organized
for their own interests. This need has
been expressed by many of the leading
growers in this state and at the Oregon
State Fair some talk was indulged on
the subject-
Milling demand has been increased
by Government utilization of mohair.
American buyers have been active in
South Africa, the only other portion of
the globe in which Angora goat cul
ture is carried on commercially. Origin
of the Angora was in Asia Minor, near
the .town of that name. This district is
near Mount Ararat and the goat spe
cies is as old as history. Turkish mo
hair has been rendered merely a nomi
nal article in the market, by reason of
the devastation of Armenia and the
entire destruction of marfy herds.
Sfohalr Prleea Increased.
Following the destruction of Asiatic
herds the price of mohair has risen
both in South Africa and in America.
Prices before the war ranged from 28
cents to 30 cents a pound. The staple
Is now selling In the Southwest at 85
cents to 90 cents a pound, while in
Oregon the market has not gone above
S3 cents for all grades of mohair.
Average fleece from range goats runs
from three and one-half to five pounds
a head. The pure-breds often shear
eight to 12 pounds.
Best Willamette Valley wool scours
away 45 per cent in cleaning; other
grades lose as much as 75 per cent In
scouring. They are by-products from
wool, such as lanoline.
Mohair has no by-products and scours
away less than 15 per cent in the clean
ing process. Therefore a bale of mo
hair of 400 pounds returns a net weight
n mining raw iioer of 340 pounds.
while the same weight of average wool
returns less than 200 pounds net weight.
The industry in Oregon is capable of
much more extensive development than
is indicated at present. Great areas
now lying untouched and unproductive
nd on which taxes are being paid.
might become at least taxpayers under
intelligent stocking with Angora goats.
One Clackamas County goat farme
states that he carried his entire herd
over the Winter of 1916-17 on rough
age, feeding only . a little straw in the
snow period.
Separate Censna Arranged.
The census of 1910 enumerated goats
and sheep together. . For this reason
it has been impossible to determine the
number of goats in this country. Like
wise it rendered uncertain any state
ment as to the exact extent of the
sheep industry.
Through activity of men in both
these kindred industries the director
of the census has provided for a sep
arate count of goats, apart from sheep,
and currently has arranged for record
ing the mohair production as segre
gated from wool. It will be possible
after next year to determine the rela
tive proportions of the two industries.
Approximately. 225,000,000. pounds of
wool are produced in this country and
perhaps 8,000,000 pounds of mohair. It
must be remembered, however, that the
sheep industry dates from the days ot
the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock.
while the commercial importance of
mohair in this country dates only from
the early '90s.
Interesting stories are told of the
first importations; how the goats were
smuggled out of the Turkish domain
by energetic Americans who braved the
death penalty to get the Sultan's goats.
First importations to this country were
made about 1850, but the industry had
no commercial Importance until 1890.
Upon these importations, with a mod
erate import from South Africa, the
American line of breeding stock has
been built.
The goat Is a pioneer, going ahead of
other livestock and giving the grass a
chance to grow. Stump land becomes
productive without removal of the
stumps. Landowners are recognizing
the fact that goats are pasture makers.
Goats are doing a work which Secre
tary W. D. B. Dodson, of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, estimates will
cost $16 an acre removing brush from
cut-over areas, while growing a valua
ble' fleece and making annual increase
of flock estimated conservatively at 65
to 75 per cent, to say nothing of their
hides.
Goata Clear Land Cheaply.
It has been proved by actual expe
rience that 200 bead of goats under
fence will destroy all brush on 45 acres
of land so completely that it can be
seeded to grass after the first year.
While thus employed they have been
distributing one of the most valuable
fertilizers known to agriculture and
have been producing a marketable
fleece and each doe has added one kid
to the flock.
Logged-off lands are all suitable fof
growing goats and mohair. Many a
homesteader has "shot stumps" until
his money was all gone and he had to
give up. while goats would have done
the work of clearing the land around
the stumps, which could have been used
for pasture and the stumps taken out
gradually at a later time when the re
sources of the homesteader were great
er. Sheep and cattle may follow the
goats in the second year, with good
management.

Tbe Story of the Sun. by Frank M. O'Brien.
Illustrated. $3. George H. Doran Co.,
New York City.
This is the wonderful etory 6f the
New York Sun newspaper now 85
years old.
.Newspaper people know the Sun
practically there's only one newspaper
of that name. But, alas! changes come
so thick and fast in this life that the
newcomers in it many of them have
not heard of the glories of the Sun.
It is undoubtedly to interest and in
form the ''wider audience that. Mr.
O'Brien's book nowyses the light. Ap
parently, he is, or was, a Sun worker,
but the fact is successfully concealed
in his book, which is modest, volumin
ous, well written and authoritative. It
brings out the human touch and the
living personality of the Sun from the
date of the late Charles Anderson
Dana, its great editof. until now. An
interesting introduction is given by
Edwin P. Mitchell, editor of the Sun.
In the days of Benjamin H. Day,
founder of the Sun, in one issue in tbe
year 1S33, we meet with the frank
paragraph: '
With the exception of the interesting
news from Portugal, there appears to be
very little worthy of note. Nullification has
blown over. Black Hawk has gone home.
The new race for President is not yet com
menced and everybody seems settled down
into a calm. Dull times, these, for us
newspaper makers. We wish the President
or Major Downing or some other distin
guished individual would happen along again
and afford us material for a daily article.
Or even if the sea-serpent would be so kind
as to pay us a visit, we should be extremely
obliged to him, and would honor his snake
ship with a most tremendous puff.
In Editor Day's time the other news
papers of New York City were six-cent
ones, and it was considered extremely
daring of Mr. Day to issue the Sun as
a penny paper. Advertisements could
not at first be obtained for the Sun, so
Mr. Day clipped what advertisements
he fancied from other papers and
printed them, without charge. In the
Sun.
Space is not available at this time to
make copious extracts from the entire
newspaper history of the Sim, and espe
cially of the stirring days of the mas
terful personality of Dana. The most
striking portrait of all Sun workers is
that of Arthur Brisbane, reporter and
managing editor of the Evening Sun
when he was 23 years old. Next in in
terest are the word portraits of Amos
Cummings and Julian Ralph.
' Dana died at Desoris, October 17,
1897, in the30th year of his reign over
the Sun newspaper. A few years be
fore, when absorbing an ordinary
paragraph which Mr. Dana had written
about some noted man, John Swinton
asked his chief how much space he
(Swinton) would get when his turn
came.
"For you, John, two sticks," said Mr.
Dana. Turning to Mr. Mitchell, then
his chief editorial writer, he added:
"For me, two lines."
Strangely enough, when Mr. Dana did
die, the Sun the next morning printed
only ten words, and these were carried
at the head of the first editorial col
umn, without a heading:
Charles Anderson Dana, editor of the Sun,
died yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Dana had meant that he "had
made the Sun so great that the with
drawal from it of one man's hand was
negligible."
Throughout the days of the Sun that
succeeded the ownerships of Paul
Dana, Laffan, Reick and Munsey Mr.
O'Brien's story is of more than ordi
nary interest, and is always live and
graphic. It is so far the newspaper
storybook of 1918.

The Vital Issue of the War, by Rev. Rich

Boston, Mass.
Writing as the minister of the First
Unitarian Church, Buffalo, N. Y., our
author presents six sermons relating
to questions concerning the war (let
us hope) that has just been concluded.
These sermons are not "dry" as some
sermons are, but live, thoughtful, criti
caleven going as far as sensible
fault-finding. For instance. Mr. Boyn
ton, in his sermon on "Making the
World Safe for Democracy," writes:
"Our country, the United States, is not
and has never been a democracy, but
a federal republic We do not always
elect our best men to public office.
Autocracy in Germany is wrong and
brutal, but in the government of cities
in Germany there is much we can
learn."
In other words, we can learn much
from the best that our enemy has.

It was while Mr. Cronyn was work

he became interested anew in the
poems of our American Indians, and he
resumed the study with added serious

Boni .& Liveright, New York City.
Translated from the 100th French
edition, with an introduction by Edward
J. O'Brien, we have a novel whose
teaching as to love and passion is so
daring that the scenes ueptctea are
rarely expressed in English rather,

The plot is laid in a French boarding-house,
in which the sentimental
hero finds by accident an aperture in
his bedroom through which he can
view people in the room adjoining.
Sensational events are described,
after the realism of Zola. There Is no
need to say more.

In an address he once delivered be
fore the American Booksellers' Asso
ciation, Mr. Heyliger said: "Germany
cannot play fair, because German boys
never had a national sport, with its
orresponding code of honor, or
uvenile literature to drive home the
meaning of that code."
Now, American boys are different.
They have national games in baseball,
football, etc., with their sturdy codes
of honor and, cleanness. It is this
praiseworthy spirit that Mr. Heyliger
has visioned in this sterling novel for
crowing boys not sissies but boys.
