' t '11! Pal 11.50:10 EEVIS Western Locomotives Converted Into Oil Burners. Santa Fe'Uoiler Makers Sent to Make the Changes. THIS WILL BE CHEAPER Coal and Wood Are Expensive in Honntain 'legions. Oil Relieves tLe Firemen of All Beau Work. The departure of seven boilermakers for Albuquerque, N. yesterday is an event of some importance to, railroad men- These men will do work on the engines heretofore burning coal, and will put them in shape for consuming uetroleurn instead. This Is a move that lhas been anticipated for some, time by the Santa. Fe, provided the oil-burners already in use proved to be a success. They seem to have found much favor, and it is predicted that some day oil mill entirely supersede coal aa a fuel for locomotiVeS. The Topeka. men who, went west Yes terday are prepared to stay three months or a. little longer if necessary. '3 hey are to report at Albuquerque. but tneir work will extend from tnere to '-' Fan Francisco, and it is expecte-d that by the first of April there, will .be 150 more CrIg-illeS consuming- petroleum in stead of coal. This matter of changing fuels is un dertaken with the same thought in mind as. all such changesthat of economy. In the west. particularly, coal and wood are very costly fuels and obtained many times only after being- shipped long dis tances and handled several times by the r,tilroad compani, s. On the other hand, is cheaply handled, often near by, and appears to be a better fuel than coal. In California petroleum is even tisel on the public roads to settle the oust. In making the alterations by which oil is to take the place of coal, but few ti re necessary on the locomotive proper. I;ot on the regular water tank must be placed an oil tank with a capacity of several hundred gallons, and the con E: ruction of this additional container for oil is what will require most of the time of the boilermakers. Santa Fe firemen will perhaps appre ciate the innovation more than any other people. The introduction of larger engines arid the increase of tonnage of trains has made their lot much harder than formerly. With oil burners fire men are still necessary, but they earn their money much more easily than :when heaving coal into, a fire-box. It , said. however, that locomotives con- , suming oil become rnore dirty than coal burners, and in the combustion of oil there is a, g-reater quantity of smoke resulting- than in that of coal. The Santa Fe men who went out yes terday are pleased with the. prospect of good w-agea. spending the winter in an equable elimat., and of returning to trapeka when the work in the, west is ci,,ne.

Says That the Angora Goat Has a Future Here. 1 Washington, D. C., Jan. 10,--One of the most alluring industries to the American farmer and stockraiser just now is that of raising Angora. goats. It is not of the Hogan alley, common tin can goat that is meant, but an animal highly prized for its long, soft, silky mohair and its delicate and tender flesh. This Industry is an important adjunct to the farm and is attracting much In vestment the country over. Like in most everything else the Kan sas farmer is ever on the alert to give trial to every new adjunct to his prem ises wherein there is a good profit. Even though the goat industry in America is in its infancy it is estimated that Kan sas already has in the neighborhood of 10.000 Angoras within her borders. It is with flattering success that the industry is reported in the eastern portion of the state, especially in the counties of John son and Douglas. The raising of these goats will be one of the interesting sub jects to be discussed before the annual meeting of the state board of agricul ture at Topeka this week. Mr. George P. Thompson, formerly of Manhattan, Kan., now editor of the Bureau of Animal industry at Wash ington, is considered the most eminent authority an the Angora industry of the United States. He has for some con siderable time past made the subject a close study. To the State Journal representative Mr. Thompson said a large class of peo ple in some way have become possessed of the opinion that the goat is practical ly a. useless animal. "They do nGt reach conclusions upon investigations, how ever, and do not discriminate between the different breeds. Investigations prove that the Angora goats are not only classed among the most useful of the domestic animals, but their useful ness is mantfested in a variety of ways. "The fleece, called mohair, furnishes some of the finest of fabrics among ladies' goods and is used in various oth er manufactures; this goat's habit of browsing enables the farmer in a, wood ed locality to use them to help in sub jugating the forests; their flesh is ex ceedingly delicate and nutritious; the milk, though not so abundant as with the milch breed of goats, is richer than cow's milk; so fully is the goat avail able as a dairy animal when bred to that objeet that it is sententiously des cribed as 'the poor man's cow,' because of the combination of value with econ omy of keeping; their tanned skins, though inferior in quality to the skins of the common goat.are used for leather; their pelts make the neatest of rugs and robes; they are excellent pets for chil dren; a few of them in a flock of sheep are a protection from wolves and dogs. These are the vital subjects of varying degrees of importance considered in An gora goat raising." It is roughly estimated that there are In the -United States 500,000 goats of all kinds. There should be 30,000,000 in order to supply the hides which are imported by us. The value of ra,w bides imported last year amonnted to $15,776,601, and their actual costs to consumers was about $25,50S,2-19. The demand is rap idly inpreasing, as is that for the fleece of the Angora, now principally im ported. Practically all the goatskins entering into the commerce and manufacture of the United States are imported. With the exception of that portion of the pop ulation and its increase mostly upon territory derived from Spain and Mex ico, the people of this country have not usually evinced much interest in goat hPriling for a profit, either of skins or other products. There have been for centuries small herds In the sparsely A SPHINX WHO BAFFLES THE WORLD.

AIN'S, Ticket Agent, Topeka, populated western territory, and, be sides, a not inconsiderable number of goats in the aggregate has been kept for milk in the suburbs of cities. lf all the g-oats in this country were kept with the single object of supplying skins for market they would fail to supply a small fraction of the present demand and a,t the sante time remain at the present number. At four pounds to the skin, which is not far from the av erage weight of dry skins, it requires the slaughter of over sixteen million goats and kids to yield the skins im ported the last fiscal year. This repre sents live flocks of foreign goats aggre gating from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 at least for our present supply of market a,ble skins alone. Very few of the goats in the United States are raised for the purpose of marketing their skins. In addition to the large proportion of common stock kept, as stated, in the suburbs of cities, many are kept in parts of the west v,rith sheep for protection against other ani mals, while the increasing flocks of An goras are kept principally fGr their val uable yield of mohair. As to climate, but little need be said. The Angora, is easily adaptable to all countries.and thrives in all climates, ex cept that of the Polar regions. Evident ly,however,it will tend to be most profit able in those localities where the ex pense of keeping is the least the year round. Hardy, agile, enterprising., it al ways thrives, if unconfined, in heat or cold, on mountain or plain, but prefers rough. rocky, wild and elevated lands. Relative to areas suitable for go,at keeping upon any scale, from a few for milk or cheese to a' large flock for their fleeces a:nd skins, it may be confidently asserted that wherever there is a suitable climate there are also suitable unculti vated lands. In the aggregate, millions of acres of poor, rough, rocky or bushy land, distributed through all the stales, call for subjugation and enrichment through animal occupation, preferably of the goat, which would not only de stroy the growth that invites recurrent conflagrations, but would result ulti mately in the introduction of nutritious grasses. In speaking of their ability to clear brush land, Mr Thompson said: "An goras a,re browsers by nature, and there is no vegetation they will eat in prefer enee to leaves and twigs of bushes. While this fact would at once establish them as an intolerable nuisance in an orchard or garden or any other place where desirable shrubbery is growing-, it also shows that they may be of great value in many localities where it is de sirable that underbrush be destroyed. They are omnivorous eaters and seem particularly to avoid that character of vegetation which other kinds of live stock prefer. Every lea,f and every tv,1g, within their reach is greedily eaten, even to most of the bushes and weeds that are considered poisonous to other ruminants, while a remarkably few weeds are passed by. They will desert the finest clover and. bluegrass for such an outlay. "In those localities where valuable land is completely subdued by brush the goats are considered of more value for the purpose of clearing- it than for their mohair or meat. They become one of the farmer's important tools. By occu pation of the goat not only are benefits derived by the clearance of undergrowth but the growth of nutritious grasses 8,re introduced by natural methods and thus i a painting on silk found in palaceat Pekin with anxious interest the outcome of representa,tives of the powers and the the one power in China is the Empress rests the answer to the question whether , PACIFIC LINES Lv.

"It is the browsing of, the Angora, that gives to the meat the game flavor, thus leading some to name the meat 'Augora. venison.' When deprived of brovvse and fed on grass and grain the game flavor disappears. There is no reason why this should not be true, for it is a well 'known fact that flavor may not only be fed into meat, but into milk and eggs as well. POne of the reasons why the , mohair industry has lagged so in this country during the fifty years since the intro duction of Angora goats is that the use of the mohair goods was subject to the capricesof fashion. It would not bestrict ly correct to say that the industry has even got beyond the influence of fashion, but it is at least nearly so. There is now a steady demand for t,he product of our country, and much is imported besides. Dame fashion is still whimsical toward all-mohair goods, especially dress goods, but the mohair is mixed with other fibers for producing fabrics of strength and luster, and the home supply is not nearly equal to the demand. Because of the limited and uncertain supply, some mills which have a,t times used mohair no longer attempt to secure it. They are prepared to use .it as soon as the supply will warrant the undertaking. "There is not much to be said about the meat of the common goa,t. It is not so generally used as that of Angoras. The flesh of their kids is considered very fine, and in some sections of the coun try goats of all ages are killed for meat. There are comparatively few common -goats in the United States (about 50,000) and no attempt is being made to put them upon the markets. The current report that goats are sold to the packet's in the large cities for canning purposes is true in the main, but refers to the Angora grades. "Their flesh, is considered exceedingly nutritious and palatable. being among the best kinds of meats. In the south west these animals are as readily sold for meat as sheep, and the market has never been overstocked. While the goats pass as sheep, they have not yet brought as good prices by a, few cents as the lat ter, but it is thought that as soon as there will be a demand for their mutton and prejudice against goats disappears they will bring equally as good prices. The difference, however, now is very slight in some places. In Kansas City, for instance, the sheep bring about one half a cent per pound more than goats. The pa,ckers buy them as goats and sell them as sheep in the form of dressed meat or canned. "The Angora skins are exquisitely beautifulbeing a pure white in color. It has a long, soft and curly fieece,and brings upon the market all the way from $5 to $18 apiece. Their skins are used quite extensively as carriage robes, and make up very handsomely. There was a time when the buffalo, the wolf, and other animals supplied the dernand for robes in this country, but the ex tinction, practically, of the buffalo and the great searcity of the others has forced us to look elsewhere for substi tutes. These conditions have resulted in a great demand for Angora. skins for this purpose. Besides these skins make very fine rugs and bring a, good profit. They are also manufactured into mor rocco for use in binding books, and ex cellent gloves are 'made from them which bring from $1 to $1.50 per pair. As well extensively are they used for trimming' for children's cloaks and coats and doll's hair. "Irt the modern methods of economic production and manufacture nothing is permitted to go to waste. Whoever it was that said facetiously that the pack ers saved every portion of a hog but his squeal spoke the whole truth. The same truth applies as well to the carcass of any food animal. In the case of the goats the horns find many uses, and the fat is said to be the best tallow known for the manufacture of candles. Any part of the carcass not useful in other ways is converted into fertilizer. "Those who embark into the business of Angora goats for the production of mohair, rather than for the sale of their meat or skins. should be particular to start with a. thoroughbred flock, which will yield profit from the beginning. Desirable does will cost from $5 to $12 each, and bucks all the way from $,;() to $100 each. "Practically all of the mohair pro duced in the United States, that is, that which has been sheared from the goat, is consumed by the mills of New Eng land. 'rhe amount thus consumed in 1899 was 1,119,465 pounds, besides 1.077,- 00 of the imported product. Many thousands of pounds are left upon the skins to be used as rugs,robes and trim mings, and the amount used for doll hair and wigs Is great but not esti mated." lb. W. MAVIS.
