Newspaper Page TextAGE 4 THE SPRINGFIELD NBW9 THURSDAY, DISC. f, 1018 Farmer, Stockman and Dairyman S S "THE TATTLER" i'9-H. Annoro Goat Profitable Farmers 'Bulletin No 573, entitled 'The Angora Goat," mnkes a good showing for this useful animal. The bulletin snys. In part: Although nearly every state, In thi Union now possess its flocks, tho Southwest ind the Northwest aro es pecially wefl adapted to tho industry. In liartlcular In tho largo areas' re cently logged off In tho Northwest. There tho Angora not only thrives himself but holps to clear away tho broth which if allowed to grow in checxed might easily become a dan- Ijnrous Are trap. Thus It Is often sM that the Angora works and pays for i e board at the same time. It Is paying moro and more, for tho valuo of thti fleece or mohair is In creasing steadily. The price, of course, varies with tho quality, the vtiy best fleeces bringing an. avenwo of from 42 to 55 cents a pound. Tho welpht of the fleeco has a very wMu range but in 1909 the average for Ok gon was found to be 3.7 pounds and for Texas 1.85. On account of tho greater heat, howover, and the dam age of shedding, Angoras in tho Southwest1 aro frequently shcrn twloi b year a fact which must be takoa luto account ,in all calculations. . Thw practice of clipping twlco & yeai Is p. drawback to the industry since it tends to lower the average grade of Amni icon mohair. Mohair as good ns any can be and is grown in this coun try, but the 'f average quality is not today cent I if red to bo as good jc foreign. Abont 2,000,000 pounds are annually Imported. Ordinarily this is blended and spun with the domestic product Six inchc-i is the shortest length of fleece usually desired, and because of shearing twice a yei much Texas and New Mexico mohulr falls below this standard. Where the fleece is allowed to grow for twelve months, the average length is 10 Inches and in the best flocks It is not unusual to get 15 to 20 inches. Romeo, the sweepstakes buck at the El Paso show in 1910, Is an example of what is possible. His fleece weighed eighteen pounds, measured 20 inches in length, and sold for $115. Such fleece is not of course the product of ordi nary commercial conditions. It Im plies considerable amount of care, and personal attention. While the Angora goat needs at tention, it is adaptable and as far as temperature is concerned, -should flourish in any part of the United States. In Montana the flocks face the heavy snowfalls with equinimlty as long as a dry place is provided for them at night and through the heat in the Southwest frequently makes it necessary to shear twice a year In order to prevent shedding, It does not otherwise affect tho health of the flocks. Dampness, however, is more injurious than either cold or heat. High lands is the native home of all goats, and they Invariably seek it when left to themselves. Pure wa ter is also an essential. Otherwise the Angora is not particu lar. It will feed with cattle and sheep, and .though In some danger of being kicked, with horses also. As a matter of fact, however, the goat pre fers a certain amount of rough pas ture and Is particularly happy when cleaning up brush. There is one In stance of a'flock of 600 being allowed free grazing in a California forest re serve In order to keep the strips of cleared land, known as fire breaks, free from weeds and vegetatlpn. Set tlers in the Northwest find the Angora most serviceable in browsing off the brush on their new lands, and one railway1 company purchased a flock to keep Its right of way clear and at tractive. Changing Location Froin year to year there are thou sands who are prone to seek a now location. They read the pages of the real estate literature, and in many cases this literature is sufficiently smooth to cause dissatisfaction with a person's present place and causes him to seek the placo of better (?) conditions. Many make a mistako by so doing, while many others better their condition. ' Every place has norao advantages and also some disadvantages, The troublo with tho real estate Htreature Is that tho disadvantages aro omitted. Tho important point about hunting a new locatJon, or rather first think ing about a new location, is to make up your mind as to what you want to do. If you want to raise livestock you Want a different location from tho fel low who wants to raise grain exclu sively, and so on .clear through tho list. The main, troublo why so many aro dissatisfied and make poor head way in every place they go is because thoy do not devote their energies In accordance with natural advantages, If you aro In a cattlo country, raso cattle; if you nro In a country suited for cotton, ralso cotton, etc ," But tho one main consideration I want to mention 1b that wo tpo often look at a new location from standpoint of dollars and cents, exclusively. This1 13 utlhltvij "jv.ifc. t.uitni ...... lt that one great motive In nlmoso every chango Is to got a placo where wo can make moro money; but, friends, don't forget to examine tho social and per sonal surroundings with as much care as you do tho soil and water in getting a new homo. Most of us havo children. Wo aro working for them. Wo are making money so that wo can all havo a good living and after that leave a HUlo for them. Tho children want and must havo some social advantages. Thoy will mingle with tho children and young folks around them, no matter whether those other folks aro to your porfoct liking or not By and by they will marry and nine chnnccs to ten they will marry tho company you havo ushered them into. Many a timo wo sco young folks mate with those whom their parents do not favor. Tho reason many times fs because we havo lived and kept the children among just that kind. They mlnglo with them so much 'that thoy do not see the worst that is in their associates. In selecting a now loca tion let us look well into theso mat ters. But some ono who has soma small children thinks it does not mako any difference with them, as they will bo young for several years, and by that time tho objectionable party will have- sold out and gone. Maybo that will work, but it Is a mighty risky von' ture. Thoso little children must go to s'chool. they must havo playmates and friends, and' those of youth often cling through life. A child can be accna-! tomed to any quality of friends, If i taken in timo. Community Development- Communities, like Individuals, must grow better by a closer and moro Inti mate knowledge of the things imme diately environing them. They must grow through a bigger, broader view of tho obligations of life. This Inti mate knowledge of environment is do-r-endent upon roads, since roads form ie base of all community develop ment A community fails to grow when tho average of its citizens fails to grasp the spirit of progress so a community is not bettered by better conditions surrounding a fow homes, but by their conditions surrounding the many, the average homes. Even when a community has better homes, It hasn't all It must have bet-' ter churches, better schools, and tho extension of the educational thought in many directions before it reaches! the high point of community develop- ment and 'efllcient community spirit. It must have lectures, libraries, ser-; mons, amusements, sport, and all of the things In an educational way that fake men and women bigger and bet- ter and help them to throw off the cares of life and enjoy Its blessings. The individual in' a community who falls to encourage better schools, who ls opposed to better roads, who takes tlon of colds, pneumonia nnd other re no interest in the county agent dem- splratory dlscnses Is carelessness or Ig onstrations, who falls to attend chucrh 1 norance of the people regurding suit and support the preacher, who neg. j f ble clothing during the seasons when i. au 4 i u 1 Uio weather suddenly changes, sitting lects to encourage the teacher, who , , warm roo,ns ,00 h;avIly bdrc'ssed 0 forgets to subscribe and pay for the wllut ,s even moro eonlMlon( especially local newspaper, who falls to show among women, dressing so lightly that his appreciation of the better horses, i windows nre kept closed In order to be better cattle, better hogs, he who ' comfortably wurm.

A variety of coal- tar dips are on the market. MSst of these are quite satisfactory if of a sufficient, strength, and warm enough (about 110 degrees F). Do not boll. 1 The hoc should bo clven a cood thor- ough soaking in tho dip not less than two minute. The hog must go un (Jer, head and all, at least once. Treat- ment must usually be repeated one or mule uiuub ui in iui v iiiu oi eifim uu)H. Treat the wholo herd and do it thor- oughly, An effective dip can be made from crude petroleum as follows: Four gallons crude old. 4 . Sixteen gallons water. Ono pound soip. The soap should be dissolved In the water by heating. An emulsion is iiicu uiuuo iy uuuiim mo on anu utor- oughly churning tho mixture. Water in different sections differs vory great ly in the way it will comblno with soap. If this amount of eoap does not give a good emulsion simply add moro soap. Avoid oily dips In cold weather. While the hogs aro taking the dip, thoroughly clean and then disinfect, tho pens. In case of true mango, tho , fence posts, trees and everything against which tho hoga can rub mu.it nUo be disinfected. Use a strong dis infectant and plenty of it. After treat ment do not put tho hogs back into lousy or mangy pens. fcarly everybody In Springfield nud vicinity reads tho Ncwb. U. S.
