ANGORA GOAT LANDS.

Angora goat breeders/are selling large" numbers of fine stock to be run on the cutover lands of northern Wisconsin. Alone the "Soo Line,” which extends east and west through a fine strip of country at least a doxen fine flocks have gone in during the last few months and the demand for goats exceeds the supply. The wool of the Angora goat browsing on the rich herbage of northern Wisconsin is of a superior quality, due, no doubt, in part to the climate, water and ideal conditions there found. The farmer who puts sheep and Angora goats upon land from which the timber has been removed will soon find that, without any work on his part, these animals have converted the land into a pasture covered with a mat of blue grass and white clover, for as soon as the brush and the browse has been grazed down and the sun gets to the soil, blue grass and white clover spring up as if they had been seeded by man.
