"It Is proposed id grad.nnd macad-
nfii a broad highway from 'ow York

tively short time tills country would

eclipse anything on earth.
"In this age of development nlong
all lilies tho roads of the country bnvo
been criminally neglected. We bnvo
nothing that could bo called a road
connecting too cast with Uio went, and
it is one of tho earnest neods of tho
times. With tho development of tho

before the: farmer will movo his crop

thh power, and wltli it continental

"Every state should lw given chargo

"In company with huntlrcds of thou

'Tho N'atlonal Dalrr union is organ

aud I rtm firmly of the opinion that the
progressive farmer who nro dalrynlcii
wll bd'ln favor of the bill for national
aid. I urn so much interested 1U its
success that I am willing to use my In
fluence to have onr dnlry fanners petl

tho fiinncr or merchant or other busi

prevent tbo farmers from marketing
their products or from procuring the

The agricultural department puts th$

A. 8. Graven, who lives near Shenan
doah, la., manages to have good roads
nlongnldo of Hh fa nil nearly tho year
-round. Ho keeps the rond graded up
properly, and when tho ruts get dry
and rough ho goes out with his tenm
nhd harrows and scrapes the road and
makes It smooth. Good Roads Magn
fine. Here are some good reasons offered
by Wool Markets and Sheep for keep
ing Angora goats: Every vlcl kid shoo
Is mad.i! from the goatskin. There is a
demand for live times ns much mohair
as can .possibly he produced In this
country, and the Vietnam! Is Increasing
every year. Their inllk and the meat
nrif both "bsolntcly free from any tu
bcrciluir contamination. Their milk Is
next to mother's milk in vnlue for In
fants, nnd children brought up on It
will not develop scrofula or tuberculo
sis. It coits no more to watch a good
goat grow into money than It does to
wntch a poor one eat the same feed and
not grow into money. There Is Just
double the money lu good Angoras that
Uiere Is In good cattle on the rnnge';.ito
both call be run together, with more
than double profit. They will often
run miles to get In before it rain",
while sheep will drift before a storm
itnd then Ho down nnd smother or
starve ns soon ns tbo ground la cov
ered with snow.
Kid Ment.
'As a meat producer the Angora Is not
worth considering if he Is being kept
for bis fleece. One cannot cat lilo cake
and have it too, says 0. l Thompson
.of the agricultural department at Wash
ington. It may hu said, however, tnat
Uio flesh of the kid under ono year of
ago i ns luscious as that of tho best
Shropshire lamb. It is entirely free
from tho goat odor. If a hotel served It
ins lnmb few could detect the differ
'nce. As a matter of fact, there is
much kid meat .Bold ns Iamb in city
innrkcts, while the great packers of
Kansas City and Chicago make no se
cret of tho fact that they biy Angorn
meat for a cent a pound less than the
mutton thoy sell under thq same mut
ton brand. The two meats simply can
not be told apart by the great majority
of peoplo.
Anf onui ou t- iMelsta Coast.
Mr. L. It. Cnrfer writes the Oregon
1AgricuHurl8t that in tho vicinity of
Gardiner Augora goats nro not doing
ns "well ns formerly. It has alwayi
been uncertain about Angoras bftlng
adapted to tho couhtry which Is direct
ly affected by the air from the ocean.
Thoro havo been sdtnc quite successful
goat raisers on the west sldo of the
coast range In Oregon. The Angoras
may adapt themselves to the cUmaUc
conditions found Uwro after a few gen
omtlonrf. There are successful' Angora
brecdora in Llucoln county who have
beeu keeping -jonts there for twenty
year, but they nro farther from the
ocean than Gardiner, hen John S.
Harris had his flock of Ahsoras In
California bo came to thor conclusion

tho grasses which enter into tno eo(n

stems when the grass Is cut down, nud
tho process of curing does not destroy
.their vitality; lionco when new hay 1
fed these eggs, replete with life, nro
taken Into the horse's stomnch and

Then Jn all new hay there Is much

ter a lesser qunnUty of the old liny
does tho same, work of nutrition, anil
tho old is for that additional reason to

H-port of Cattle unit Sheep. '
Exports of cattle and sheep have been
resumed from Itoston nnd Portland, In
New England, to Great Uritaln am)
Ireland. Swine, however, ore still un
der Uio ban, the prohibition of land
ing such animals from New England
ports still remaining In force, says the
Brooder- Gazette. This raising of the
qunrnutlno will undoubtedly help tho
export 'trade In cattle and sheep In tins
United States for the reason that It
will provide 'carrylug space, which hits
not beeu available since G,reat Britain
scheduled fliese Seaports last winter.
Some of tho cuttlo ccrrylug ship"
which formerly piled between Boslwi
and Liverpool, Loudon mid Hull have
since the scheduling of Portland aud
Boston chauged their American deto
nation to New York, Baltimore or
Newport News, and hence the In
crease in space may not bo so lurgo 'as
might bo expected, .but for nil It Is to
be hoped that a wholesome fillip wllj
be given to tho trade!1
