PRACTICAL ANGORA GOAT RAISING. 



where the meat differs from that of the common 

 goat. 



The goat is a slow grower, and not until the sec- 

 ond year do the bones ossify. Therefore, a two-year- 

 old can be sold for lamb, as he has a " soft joint." 

 Grown Angora wethers do not average much more 

 than one hundred pounds as a rule, although there 

 are occasional bands sold which average one hundred 

 and fifteen pounds. 



It is safe to say that Angora venison will never 

 supplant mutton, but it will have its place among the 

 edible meats.
