In Monta­ na the fl<x*k# /ace the heavy snowfalls with equanimity as long a* a dry place is provided foe them at night, nnd. though the heat in the southwest fre­ quently makes It necessary to shear twice a year in order to prevent shed­ ding. It does not otherwise proven}; the health of the flocks. High land is the native home of all goats, and pure wa­ ter b» also essential In connection with their production. Although nearly every state In the Union now possesses its flocks, the southwest and the northwest are es­ pecially well adapted to tbo industry, In particular the large arena recently logged off In the northwest. There the Angora not only thrives Itself; hut helps to clear away the brush. Thus It; is often said that the Angora works and pays for Its board at the same time. ' ; » It 1st paying more nnd more, for the mains' o f tbcrfleeee,' or-mohair,-is-in-- creasing steadily* The price, of course, varies with the quality, tlie very best fleeces bringing on an average from 43 to 55 centh a, pound, The weight of a fleece has.a very wide range, but in tOOathe averagd'far.Oregon was found to be 8.7 pounds and for Texas 1,85. On account of the greater heat, how­ ever, and the damage of shedding An­ goras in the southwest are frequently shorn twice a year, a fact which mast be taken into consideration in all cal­ culations. , Six Inches is the-shortest length of fleece Usually desired, and. because of shearing twice a year much Texas and New Mexico mohair falls below this Standard. Where the• fleece Is allowed to'grow for twelve months the average length is ten Inches, and; in the best flocks It is not unusual to get fifteen to twenty inches. Romeo, the sweep- Economy Hints A pwimy saved is a penny tamed.— Benjamin Franklin, W»M« aiiEEdSb J l KGOBA. DOB. staked buck at the £1! Paso show in 1910 , is ah example of what is possible. His .fieecq weighed. eighteen pounds, measured twenty and three-quarter inches in length and sold for $115. Such fleece is not, of coarse, the prod: uct of ordinary commercial conditions. It implies a considerable amount of care-and personal attention. The birth rpte of Angoras is approx­ imately 65 per cent, but in well man­ aged flocks this has risen On occasions as high as 120 per Cent Singe'the kids are not hardy It is obvious that this means skill and industry during the breeding season; otherwise the man agement of Angoras does not differ greatly from that of sheep. They will feed with, cattle nnd sheep. ■ and, though in some danger of being kicked] with horses also.* As a matter of fact however, the goat prefers a’ certain amount of rough pasture and is particularly happy when clearing tip brush land. On very rough land the danger o f injury to the fleece must, however,, be kept in mind. < Curing Cowpsa Hay. Cowpeas are cut and cu&d about the same as clover or alfalfa hay. It is a common practice to let the cow- peas remain in the swath from twen­ ty-four to thirty-six hours before rak­ ing and cocking. It Is the practice of some to run a tedder over the field as soon afi the upper leaves have wilted If left In the swnth for thirty-six hours and then put Into cocks, in fa­ vorable weather the hay will be ready' to put into the bam in two or three days. Two or three hours before haul­ ing to the bam the cocks,should be opened and exposed to the sun nnd air. K**p th* Plow Bright. Take care of your ptow. When yon It*,through with your day’s work cov­ er the metal parts instead of allowing them to remain exposed to the damp night air and rust until next morning When you store your plow in the shed rub a little grease of any kind over the moldboard, share nnd laftd side. This will effectively prevent rust, and the grease Will he rubbed off as soon ns you put the ptow in the ground again. Egyptian Cotton Seed. * The federal horticultural board has issued a notice to all cotton mills and ♦specially those in the south to de­ stroy by burning all seed that may he found in bales of imjjorted Hgypliun cotton. These seed are likely to con­ tain the larvae of the pink bollworm, Which Is very destructive to American cotton. How to Exterminate th« Trpybi**o»nc Cockroaches, * f | T I T i I the approach of warn; mil/ spring wenther cockroaches WW multiply rapidly and leave * w their winter hiding places. The following simple remedy recom­ mended by one of the department of agriculture’s scientists, will unques­ tionably destroy great quantities of tin* past and keep them Ih check as Ef­ fectively as ‘troublesome insect pow­ ders and dangerous poisons: . Mix one part of plaster of purls and three or four parts of (lour. Place this dry mixture in a saucer or ou ft flat piece of wood or tin where roaches are numerous. Nearby place another flat plate containing pure water, Supply a few inclines of wood or cardboard from the floor to the edge of tho plate or saucer to give easy access, Float one or two thin pieces of tvood on the water so that they will touch the edge of the dish. The insects reafltly eat the plaster mixture,. become thirsty and drink. The water makes the plan* ter‘set in the intestines and kills thy roach. ^ . “Another sinime'tfap wBIchlins been successfully used is the following: A deep vessel or Jar Is partially filled with stale beer, for which roaches seem to have a special fondness. A'num­ ber of flat strips o f rough wood are placed at an incline against the vessel and bent over so that they project into the interior n few Inches. The roadi­ es climb ‘up the inclined sticks to get the beer and slip off into the vessel. There are various poisons,which, It is. asserted, are fairly effective as rem­ edies pgalnst roadies. The only one Ot these that seems to give satisfactory results is a phosphorus paste, sold in the form of pills. It consists of sweet­ ened flour paste containing 1 to' 2 per cent of phosphoirus, and is spread Ou bits of paper or cardboard nnd placed in the runways of the coaches. This mixture lias been used very 1 success­ fully in the department of agriculture jo free desks from Croton bugs, num­ bers of the dead insects being found in the drawers every day during the time tire potson was kept about. As phos­ phorus is poisonous to human beings and domestic animals, besides being highly. Inflammable, it should be used very carefully. Considerable relief may be gained by a liberal-use of pyretbrmn powder. It is,not n perfect remedy, however,' and Is at best but u temporary expedient. It may also be burned In an Infested apartment, The smoke nnd vapors generated by the burning of this in­ secticide are often more effective Sar destroying roaches than the appUcntktia of the substance in the ordinary way as a powder. There is no attendsnt danger of explosion, and-the only pre­ caution necessary is to ate that the room Ja kept tightly Closed, for from six to twelve pours. The time to put on High Shoes ishere.

A UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT. How to Make a Novel and tntereating Linen Shower-. At a recent linen shower given for a charming young bride elect the gifts were tied in red papers with fancy ribbons in UUcolors and gold cords. The presents were placed in a gal­ vanized tub which wus prettily con­ verted Into a huge pie. The sides off the tub were covered with light brow*, crape paper, and the cover, marks# like a pie, was made of wrapping po- per. The usual crimped edge wo 3 out­ lined with chocolate mints, nnd through the central opening a ribbon from each package protruded. The mysterious looking pie proved more interesting than did Jack Hor­ ner’s, and certainly nothing could be daintier than this homemade pie of many surprises. Aside from this feature was some­ thing new and decidedly novel. An ingenious girl, deeply Interested in the forthcoming nuptials, held the ribbons and strings while the bride elect open­ ed each package and, as Wo albknow, exhausted n supply of adjectives in rendering thanks. These ribbons and cords disappeared. When again seen the girl who had taken them had tied, them together In the hit and miss fashion nnd crocheted them Into a solid little mat of red. blue, pink, white, green and orange. The extreme edge was a beautiful shell effect made with the gold cord. This was attached to a large green silk sachet bag, Oiled with rose perfume. Needless to say the unique sachet will outlast the tokens. Printed at the Same Price Others Charge for Cheap Stock THE BELL AT LLOYD’S. mi»i.THie 0 u a i* .
