people do not seem to recognize thia this fact but it la lit true boits have a natural inell nation to browse brose on shrubs weeds or any other coarse leaved herbage but they must have nutritious feed in ad ditton to thrive if it angora goats are fed and treated as ono would treat sheep they will get along very well vell in the winter time they need clean clover hay and some grain and clean fresh water at idl times the goat Is almost as on icly as the sheep and requires water untainted by any other animal sweet grain and bay hay as they will not touch these feeds it if they are musty too much has been said about the ability of the goats aa as weed destroyers it Is truo true they will clean up a pasture of at coarse coarse weeds and so will sheep wo we have never been able to discover much difference and taking everything into consideration we me believe that the farmer who ho raises sheep instead of goats will III get better satis faction from his flock CARING FOR HORSES TEETH excellent plan to make examination two or three times yearly treat them with if your horse home shows difficulty in eating or loses flesh without apparent cause it la Is time to examine the teeth very often elongated teeth prevent a horse from properly masticating its food thereby rendering it impossible to obtain much benefit from it ulcerated teeth also are a source of 0 great trouble and present prevent a horse from eating well sometimes broken teeth cut the sides of the horses mouth and form painful sores aich of course interferes with mastication it Is a good plan to examine the teeth of all horses two or three times a year and in case of broken or elon gated teeth of a valuable animal are arf badly affected it should be treated by a veterinary surgeon pasturing reacting cattle of cattle that react under the tuber colln test if they are not to be dis posed of at once should be kept in a separate pasture pastured this pasture should be some distance from the other or so fenced that it will be for tho the infected and non infected animals to get their beads together ther bad feeding you cannot starve money into an animal therefore underfeeding is a waste overfeeding is just as wasteful when we overfeed we e not only ruin the animals digestive organs but we wd are feeding that we never get re turns from halter on the colt teach the colt the use of the halter baiter as
