Going Into Goats.

Uncle Alf McCoy is taking a plunge in the Angora goat line, and a big plnnge at that. A flook of 417 kids of that breed, of the vintage of 1903. were unloaded for him here Monday morning. They were driven oat to Jim Baboook’e farm .vest of town and weighed, and were then brought back, reloaded and shipped on to Fair Cake. There Unde Mao has set aside 300 acres of brush and sandridge land for them to roam over and dear of anderbrnsb. They were bought at Kansas City and should have been sent direct to Fair Oaks, but by a mistake were billed here, instead. Unde Mao is going into the goat business to stay in and will have them for sale to anyone wanting to try raising them, and will always have a supply of “kids” oh tap for people who haven’t any of their own.
