is. on in full swing, and you will

A branch of live stock raising with which the Canadian farmer
is not’ too well acquainted is dealt with in the latest povernment
agricultural bulletin, which we recommend to the. attention of
settlers in this part of the province,

‘Most parts of Canada where live stock production prevails are
suitable to the raising of Angoras, especially if the land is high and
dry the greater part of the year, They will withstand the rigor of
even the coldest winter and do not require any greater shelter than
a shed to protect them from the wind and storm, providing a suffi-
cient quantity of nutritious food and pure water are supplied. . The
Angora goat performs a two-fold service in the Canadian scheme of
farming. It produces a high grade of mohair and at the sametime
may be used for the destruction of underbrush on lands to be broken
for subsequent cultivation.’”’” Such is one of the opening paragraphs
of Pamphlet No.12 of the Sheep and Goat Division of the Live Stock

+ Branch devoted: to the Angora Goat and general discussion on the
methods of management, feeding and breeding and of mohair
production, that can be had at no eost whatever by application to
the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, The
-pamphlet gives a brief sketch of the ovigin and history of the
Angora, which, from being a native of Turkey i in Asia. has travelled
somewhat extensively into South Africa, is fairly well known i in the

_ United States and not as well known in Canada as desirable.
Mohair, of which Turkey i in times of peace supplies 10,000, 000 lbs.
~_ annually, South Africa 15,000, 000: ‘Tbs. and: the rest of the world
' 6,000,000 Ibs.; is the technical name given the hair of the Angora
goat, . The word is derived from the French “mohere”? and, prim-
arily, from the Arabic. ‘‘mukhayar,”’ meaning mohair eloth; This,
with a vast deal more information about a particularly useful. goat,

is furnished in the pamphlet tinder our notice. Nature and the
necessary treatment for breeding and raising are set forth with
details of market possibilities, of shearing, of grading, and- of the
preparation for shipment. Extracts from letters _written by
successful breeders in Canada and the United States telling of their
experience-are printed, as well as some account of. the” complaints

_ to which the animals are occasionally subjected, with advice as to
_ Dreventatives and remedies, Illustrations of types and the fleeces
