How To Clean Bkush Land.—“T he Ken¬ 
tucky Way" and a “Long Island Farmer” are 
not in it with Angora goats for clearing 
land of brush and weeds. We got them to 
do the job for nothing, and at the same 
time they paid us more profit than any 
stock we ever kept. As brush killers they 
kill them dead, never to grow again, and 
grass comes in of itself. As manure spread¬ 
ers they beat any machine ever made. We 
cleared 80 acres of brush that one could not 
get through with 150 Angora goats in three 
years, so that it is as line pasture for cattle 
and sheep as any we have. Anyone who has 
a brush lot should write the United States 
Department of Agriculture for Farmers' Bul¬ 
letin No. 137, “The Angora Goat.”
