MOHAIR GOATS IN OREGON ARE GOOD The Only Range Animals That Will Kill Brush and: Give Grass Chance (By H. B. Steiner) Oregon could produce mohair as fine as the market demands and in -quantity many hundred times the present output. So far as fineness Is concerned, we think it is more in the breed ing than the feeding, because we know of one flock in particular where the owner has been getting grading reports of over 83 per cent kid hair, when his actual percentage of kids in the flock, was not above 15 per cent and at least half his goats were six to ten years old. ' This flock has been maintain ed for years near the coast where feed conditions are the very best. There are a number of other breed ers in the state who are turning out very fine mohair, and have been doing so for 30 years. There Is feed and acreage here for several millions of goats. The country is pretty well settled and in a great many rjcalitles it would be rather difficult to consolidate enough acreage in one tract to accomodate a really large herd of goats. Here and there, however, are many ranches of suitable area which can be bought or leased at- a reasonable figure. Large timber holdings afe, per haps the best chance to Becure land in large tracts. Logged off land in western Oregon is admir ably suited to mohair goat raising. After the slashings are burned and tame grass seed is sown in the ashes, it is only a few months until there is the finest kind of pasture. Sown as the ground is with all the native plant seed which the fire does not entirely destroy, it is not long before there is a verdant growth of brush and weeds with the cultivated grass. If the pasture is not handled prop erly the growth or wild stuff soon takes possession of the land and the labor and expense of seeding are lost. Goats are the only range ani mals that will hold the brush and other wild growth in check and give the sown grass a chance. There is an abundance of pure water in springs and creeks, Drouths in summer and blizzards in 'winter are rare. There is con siderable rainfall through the win ter months and shelter sheds are desirable and necessary where early kidding Is desired. However, many flocks of goats winter out in the open in Western Oregon without sheds and kid on the open range without any more care or attention than control of the kid ding season to April or May. Al though the rainfall at times is quite heavy, it does not seem to have any detrimental effects on stock. Herding is not practiced to any extent but corraling at night Is practiced where coyotes menace. Coyotes are not numerous but cause considerable loss where the herds are not closely watched. The remedy for losses of this nature Is either to fenee with coyote proof fencing, Work the range regularly with coyote hounds, or follow in structions of the biological survey of the U. S. department of agricul ture in regard to traps and poison. Government hunters under the di rection of the' biological survey are working in this section and it is foreseen that the coyote will be cleaned out entirely and become a thing of the past! . As a hojne state, Oregon would be hard to beat With the widest range of field and farm crops, ve getables, fruits and flowers that beggar description we can not see but that if one wanted - to enjoy the' natural advantages while rais ing . goats, Oregon would be ' the place. .'--. - ' 4 r Samsat on the sunny side tf the tree.,, the perspiration running down his- face.

Most of the people who make derogatory remarks have no prejudice against them. They are only passing along what they have heard others say. Those whoi have a personal prejudice have gained their impressions from the" neglected, alley goats of the great cities and Mexican, ham lets of- the southwest.' This fact suggests "the chief val ue of the milk goat as a dairy animal. They can be kept where a cow would starve. They do not require the expensive feed neces sary to maintain a cow in good milking condition. In fact, they do, verywell without any of the usual high grade hay and dairy feed, which is the principal diet of the cow. Weeds and brush are their favorite feed. They' Have Two tTses "Momentarily setting aside all consideration of their valuefas a dairy animal, they are well worth keeping for the weeds they will destroy. Poison oak. moss, wild rose hushes and wild blackberry bashes are among' the strange plants they are 'very fond of. There are without doubt oaay farms where themillc goat would be valuable in cleaning up the neglected places, and 'furnish the best milk in the world for infanta and Invalids at the same time.' They can b kept ob chains around the buildings and fences or allow-! ed to rnn in wood lots or pastures. ilake Good Pets ... ; : - As pets they can hardly be sur passed by any animal. Even the old goats are playful, but the kids are especially so. They are gentle and affectionate; and -.will not barm anyone who treats , them kindly. But they; can derend themselves p'ettjr Well against T U KD two parts of vinegar. It depends some what on the strength of your vinegar. Some prefer; lemon juice to vinegar, and many add a dash of paprika for color. And to this very delightful French Dressing one thing or another may be added to captivate your guests. Worn cestershire sauce or a bit of chutney for green salads, mustard sauce for fish and meat salads or some strong mint jelly on a salad of ruit ' . But do dogs or any person who abuseB them. In this Tespect it might be a big help to parents with mis chievous boys to keep a billy goat to teach them respect for farm animals. Good Itusiaess Openings Many claims are made for the high milk records of pure bred Swiss and English milk goats, which do them great credit. They are also said to be practically free from tuberculosis, and the milk is always in demand at a higher price than cow's milk. Since the cream does not rise as readily at I i -K No w- Xwim r use a good salad oil Wesson Oil, for ; instance.- It is dear ., v and light in color and very delicate , , in flavor and so good to reat that it makes delicious French. Dressing. in cow's milk, r the quality' Is al ways quite, uniform and" rich.? There is a good business oppor tunity in 'every locality for those who are in a position' to take top the breeding of milk goats to fur nish the natural demand for this most rich and healthful food to those who are in need of it.
