THE GOAT AS A PEST DESTROYER. 
The Angora goats, which the Agricultural Department of New Zealand 
recently imported from South Australia, are doing well on Somes Island, 
where they are undergoing quarantine (says the Wellington Post). Angora 
goats are already running in several parts of the colony, and are found to be 
articularly well suited to rough country. They are very fond of blackberry 
foliage, briars, &c., and several settlers find them of use in preventing the 
spread of those pests. There is a considerable demand in New Zealand for 
the animal, but great difficulty is found in supplying it. The Turks have pro- 
hibited their export, and the Government of Cape Colony has placed a heavy 
export duty upon them. In addition to their value in keeping down black- 
berry, briars, and other similar pests, the goats give a plentiful supply of rich 
milk, and from each one between 4 lb. and 6 Ib. of mohair, worth from 1s. 4d. 
to 2s. per Ib., can be cut every year. At the present time there are about 
4,000,000 Angora goats in Cape Colony.
