ANGORA GOATS 



Angora Goats 



The angora goat is a native of Turkey and the raising of these animals in this country 

 will be oiie of the coming great industries. One of the great advantages in raising angora 

 goats is the ease and economy with which herds can be profitably handled. They are practi- 

 cally immune from all diseases, and will thrive and prosper where sheep or cattle would starve 

 to death. They are great brush destroyers and will not only clear away the brush better than 

 a gang of laborers could do, but will also get fat in the process. Land which is practically 

 worthless can be made valuable by having it cleared by these goats, who will fertilize it at 

 "the same time. A great deal of farmland in Iowa and California has been cleared in this 

 manner. This shows how easy and cheap it is to keep angora goats. They can be raised 

 with profit in any section of the United States. 



The angora goat makes an ideal domestic pet. It is intelligent and affectionate and 

 its milk is declared by scientists to be next to mother's milk in value. The chief value lies- 

 in its fine wool, which is long and lustrous. This wool is second in commercial value to silk,
