The I^anchk
of wool growers the plan of holding
wool auction sales in America, simi
lar to those held in London.
The following resolution, introduced
by the Secretary of the American An
gora Goat Breeders' Association, an
organization affiliated with the Na
tional Wool Growers' Association, and
adopted By the convention, will be
read with especial interest by the An
gora goat owners of the country:
"Whereas, Recognizing in Angora
husbandy a live stock pursuit kindred
to sheep raising, that is peculiarly
adapted to many localities in the Unit
ed States, and an industry that is of
signal promise in this country; and,
"Whereas, Appreciating in the ma
terially inadequate supply of domestic
Angora products for the home demand
today, necessitating annual purchases
of mohair and skins in foreign coun
tries of upwards of a million dollars
in value, it would indeed be showing
an un-American spirit if encourage
ment and protection shall not be met
ed out to the plodding husbandman of
this young industry.
"Now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, By the National Wool
Growers' Association, that it endorses
the demand of the Angora husband
men of this country for the continued
protection of the present duty on mo
hair; for a protective tariff on An
gora skins; for a reduction of the
fee for grazing on the national for
ests to the same rates applying for
sheep; for an enumeration of Angora
goats in the next census, separate and
apart from the common or non-shear
ing animals; for provision by the De
partment of Labor and Commerce of
the United States Department of Agri
culture in behalf of the Angora goat
industry, and provision for the print
ing and distribution of liberal editions
of its enlightening and instructive
publications on Angora husbandry;
"Resolved, That we commend to
the Department of Agriculture and
the Department of Commerce and La
bor, the need of favorable action on
the requests of these, our fellow hus
bandmen."
The association elected Fred W.
Gooding, of Idaho, as its president
for the coming year; Dr. J. M. Wilson,
of Wyoming., western vice-president;
Jos. E. Wing, of Ohio, eastern vice
president; Geo. S. Walker, of Wyom
ing, secretary, and Louis Penwell, of
Montana, treasurer.
A special fund of $100,000 for carry
ing on the work of the organization
was raised by the convention in rap
idly expressed subscriptions of from
$100 to $500, when the matter of
finances was befpre the meeting. The
association now enjoys a membership
of over 7,000 wool and mohair grow
ers.
HOW TO EXAMINE A SICK ANI
MAL.
By Dr. David Roberts.
Wisconsin State Veterinarian.
First take the temperature of the
animal by placing a self-registering
Veterinary Fever Thermometer into
the rectum, allowing it to remain
there from three to five minutes. The
normal temperature of a cow is 101
degrees (Fahrenheit) and the normal
temperature of a horse is 100 de
grees (Fahrenheit); hog, 100 degrees;
sheep, 101 degrees.
Second, take the pulse of the ani
mal, which can be found at the angle
of the lower jaw bone. The normal
beats of a cow's pulse is from 40 to
50 per minute and that of a horse is
from 33 to 40 per minute.
Third, count the respirations of the
animal, or number of times it breathes
by watching the sides of flanks, or by
pressing the ear to the side. The
normal respiration of a cow is from
