No Everybody hereabouts reidsit Don't you? "". I - is A ft 1 yvt.ait.w The story of the exportation of horses nnd mules from the port of New Or leans Js told officially in the following figures. The showing is the largest ever made by any single seaport in the history of the world. This is the state ment: "From Oct 1. 1S99. to Nov. 30, 1001, the total valuation of horse and mule cargoes was $13,483,052, exclu sive of feed, which amounted to ?992, C10, making a grand total of $14,470, 270. The total number of horses nnd mules was 140,050, about equally di vided." From this it would seem that the average value of the horses and mules shipped to South Africa and elsewhere by the British government is, to be exact. $90.27, and we ail know thnt so small a sum of money has not since Oct. 1, 1S99, been paid for any very good horse. As has been said be fore, remarks The Breeder's Gazette, we can very well afford to lose all of the small, inferior horses of the "war rior" type that the foreigners will buy from us provided they will -ship them away out of this country bo that the marcs among them may not in time return to plague the breeders again. No doubt many of the mares taken to South Africa nnd used up in hard marches and other work incidental to warfare will do yeoman service in re stocking the high veldt "n'ith the sort of pony thnt thrives best on it, for any kind of a large, full sized horse will not do well on the thin land and bare feed and peculiar climate, with its constant chnnges of temperature, but we have no use for such now. Once upon a time perhaps we had; but, at any rate, that time has passed, nnd It Is splendid t- be able to relate that we have got rid of so many of these horses for so much money nnd in such an nd mirable way. It is an ill wind that blows nobody .good. A Stnliliorn, JInnc.

At the recent meeting of the Kansas Stock Breeders' association Mr. H. W.

This extrava gance must be met by some one, nnd the one to hear the burden of -the ex pense is the purchaser." Mr. Avery urged thnt tho members of the associ ation should lend all their assistance in discouraging the corrupt practice of the horse companies. Mr. Avery cited ..USE PURE..

'RATIONS Those who have to buy their feeds are nt a 'loss as to the most economical ones to purchase. Many farmers feel 1 that the cheapest feed is the one they can raise on their own I.I1.UID. lent results have come 11UU1 .IfUUlllJ, I 1 l. f - . 1 iwni luiiuui, oiiau, utiin and in some e:sses wheat, sys Ameri can Agriculturist. This season the very high prices paid for farm prod ucts have caused some careful think ing, aud a great many are this year selling fnrm grains and buying byprod ucts of starch mills, glucose factories, flour mills and the like. Most of these feeds nre much more concentrated thnn the originni grain ; that is, they contain .much larger quan j titles qf dltrestlhle protein and fat I The stnrch bus been removed for other purposes, but nearly all the protein re mains. The protein is always more di gestible, and consequently. It' Is more desirable for young ' growing nnimnls nnd dairy cows. Moreover, experience has shown thnt It is also excellent feed for mature cattle nnd horses. That corn concentrates nre.growing in favor one who is ntiill familiar with the.slt uation will not deny, The increased popularity is more noted in the cattle feeding sections than nny other. Farm ers who formerly bought cottonseed meal and linseed meal have discontin ued them after giving the corn concen trated feeds a trial. The secret of suc cess In feeding these is thnt they are more digestible than any of the other concentrates. They nre therefore more easily assimilated and because of this are more satisfactory than nny other feed of similar chemical uunlysis. Inning of "Con-pen Crnnlis." It is nultenmusing to Rural New Yorker to see some of the wise men coming forth with mouth full of words In praise of cowpens. For years they sneered nt the few "cowpen cranks" nnd predicted nil sorts of fnll ure and trouble. Now they find thnt thousands have Ignored their predic tions, tried the cowpen and found it a sure help on light soils. With a wis dom which commands admiration these eritics forget nil they snid and become ardent cowpen ndvocntes. This must I he both nmusiug nnd gratifying to Pro fessor W. F.

The nostril of the beef animal should be medium in size, with a clear, bright lining membrane.

STORY OF THE ANGORA. intcre-tln Account of Their IntrSK dnctlon Into THU Conntrj. When It is said that tho mohair In dustry is looking up In this country, It ls equlvalent to saying that the Angora looking up. Now, the j Angora goat history in the Lnlted I states is rather nn Interesting one. It ! -nK iiurlnc the administration of Pres ident Tolk thnt it began. The sultan of Turkey had to do with the introduction of the Angora goat Into this country. He requested President Poll: to recom mend some one who would experiment with cotton culture in Turkey, nnd President Polk suggested Dr. .lames B. Davis of Columbia, S. C. Dr. Davis accordingly was invited to Turkey by the sultan and went there, with the re sult that his cotton experiments so pleased the sultan that when he re turned to America he brought with him nlnp Angora goats, the gift to him of the sulfan. These goats were frequently exhibit ed at fairs and attracted much atten tion. It wan thought at the time that they were the Cashmere breed, from the fiber of which tlie costly cashmere shawls ure made. This mistake proved to be uufortunate, for everything that was known about the Cashmeres was said for these goats, with the final re sult that there M-as such disappoint ment that it gave n serious setback to tlie Angora goat industry nt its very outset. An Angora gout can no more serve tlie purposes of 11 Cnslnnere than the beef breeds of cnttle can serve the purposes of the finest Jersey stock. Vet, all the same, the Angora is n very vninoble animal, and this early disap pointment in the sultan's gift had a tendency to blind people for a long time to the fact. In lS&i the Davis flock of goats, consisting of eve:i does nnd .two bucks, wris purchased by Colonel Rich ard Peters of Atlanta, Gn., with tlie exception of one owned by Colonel Wade Hampton of South Cnrollna and one by Mr. Davenport of Virginia and one by Mr. Osborne of Now York. Lat er Colonel Peters imported others, and, although they did not prove satisfacto ry, he Is nevertheless regarded ns tlie real founder of the Angora gout indus try in this country. His first importation was followed by others up to ns late as 1S7C. when tlie sultan became alarmed at what lie fancied was the development of an In dustry which threatened the same line in Turkey. In 1S7C he issued nn edict absolutely prohibiting the exportation of Angoras, and this edict is still in force. Notwithstanding the edict Dr. W. C. Bailey of San Jose, Cal.. went to Asia Minor in 1901 aud succeeded in shipping four goats, which finally nr rived at their uew home in C'ulifornin. From these importations, supple mented by a fow goats brought from South Africa, have come nl! the herds thnt now are found In nearly every state in the Union. At tho close of the civil war about all tlie go ts of the Angora breed that remained in the country were in the sum h western stutes and territories, principally in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Cat -fornia. Within the last few venrs they have gone into Oregon in hi ire mun. hers, and quite recently seven, 1 thou- euiui nave ix-en taiion into iown and Missouri. There Is now manifested an Interest in tlie animal such ns wt-.s nev cr known before niuce its arrival nwnv t ones in I'rosiuent Polk's time, nnd it is believed that this interest will result, and that before very lorn,', in estab lishing permanently an Industry which will extend to every part of the coun try.
