 ad valorem; on skins for morocco, tanned but unfinished, 10 per cent

REGISTRATION ASSOCIATIONS. 



The Bailey Angora Goat Registration Association, of San Jose, Cal., 

 has kept a private register for many years, and became a general 

 record association in 1898. 



There are two registration associations in the United States which 

 were organized during the year 1900 — the American Angora Goat 

 Breeders' Association, with headquarters at Kansas City, Mo. , and the 

 National Angora Record Association, with headquarters at Salem, Oreg.

Besides these access has been had to hundreds of articles in the 

 agricultural press. Special mention should be made of the Oregon 

 Agriculturist, Portland, Oreg., the Pacific Rural Press, San Francisco, 

 Cal., and the American Sheep Breeder, Chicago, 111. The two latter 

 devote a page regularly to the goat industry. 



The library force of the Bureau of Animal Industry have prepared 

 a bibliography of goat literature, but the titles are so numerous that 

 it has been deemed advisable to hold them for separate publication 

 rather than to append them here.
