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

THE DESPISED MILK
A Goold Business Opportunity
in Every Locality for Breed
ing of Them
(By Alvah Mote)
The milk goat, judging from the
remarks one hears, is a much de
spised animal. 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

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

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

There is a good business oppor
