Whatever may be the upshot of the few attentions (some of them crude and ill-advised at acclimating, breeding and raising these goats in Northern Eastern States, there is no dispute the great success that has attracted their culture, and especially the crossing again and again upon native stock, in California. I once more from Landrum, most cellent authority: "It is superfluous for me to say that in forty years from that time (1848), America produce more fine mohair than Asia. It is more of a sucre-America than cotton was in Minor. While Asia has about 1000 head of fleece bearing goats have now in the State of California alone over 70,000 goats of more less Angora blood, started in from one buck of the Davis state. We have now been twenty-three years breeding in America, and, sidering the time, we are slow to paired with the Cape of Good Hope. The first ten years were lost in periments, the next five in civil during which a great proportion the goats raised were destroyed.* In 1866 there were ships The Angora Goat. Have been shown a very incommunication which was added in the New York Times to the merits of the Angora shmere goats. Not having present the article in full, future to make a few extracts of the demand for mosays: * * The manof Utrecht velvets at in France, consumes 500, bands of mohair, which is spun and. Ten thousand workmen employed in weaving these Amiens in 1855, the proding principally sent to the States. Mohair yarn is emergely in Paris, Nismes and and in Germany, for the feature of laces, which are subfor the silk lace fabrics of ennes and Chantilly. The frequently spoken of as made a wool, are of a lace texture do not correspond to the e or Indian shawls. The known as llama shawls are of mohair. Mohair is also from Symrna to the Cape of Good Hope 400 goats. About one-half were lost on the way. Since then some 300 more have been shipped, all told. In 1871 England received from the Cape 2,800 bales of fleece—mohair—averaging 400 pounds to the bale, or about 920,000 pounds of fleece in five years' breeding from the start. Now, with our 450 pure breeds and 70,000 grades, what can we do in five years in a country better adapted than even the Cape of Good Hope? Divest the business of raising the Angora goat of the exaggerated features which unfortunately, through the inflated ideas of unscrupulous importers and breeders, have marked it; strip off its precious covering, and put it upon the solid bed-rock of facts, where it belongs as a legitimate industry, and there need be no fear that it will vindicate itself by its own intrinsic merits as one of the most useful and profitable pursuits of the country and age. When we reflect that of the numerous species which compose the animal kingdom, forty-three only (according to Hayes) are at the command of man, and that the only wool- Amiens in 1859, the producing principally sent to the States. Mohair yarn is emergedly in Paris, Nismes and in Germany, for the nature of laces, which are subfor the silk lace fabrics ofennes and Chantilly. The frequently spoken of as made a wool, are of a lace texture that do not correspond to the use or Indian shawls. The known as llama shawls are of mohair. Mohair is also consumed at Bradford, England, the fabrication of light address goods.

The writer adds: but little left now on the it has nearly all been ship New York and Liverpool and this season. I also learn Marysville Woolen Mills added to put in machinery for spinning mohair." The several old establish-different Eastern cities known as mohair manu-a number of woolen millsalliances for working this is safe to say there will set at home for all that introduced not to mention the importers and breeders, have marked it; strip off its precious covering, and put it upon the solid bed-rock of facts, where it belongs as a legitimate industry, and there need be no fear that it will vindicate itself by its own intrinsic merits as one of the most useful and profitable pursuits of the country and age. When we reflect that of the numerous species which compose the animal kingdom, forty-three only (according to Hayes) are at the command of man, and that the only wool-bearing animal heretofore extensively appropriated in this country, besides its product of food, has furnished in a single year from domestic sources, 70 per cent. of a raw material for a manufacture valued at over $120,000,000, we must regard the acquisition of a new animal, producing both food and material for clothing, as an epoch in the industrial history of the country. Our impatient countrymen are too prone to indulge in exaggerated expectations of the facility of acquiring new and valuable breeds of domestic animals. They need to be reminded that real progress is the offspring not only of human effort, but of time—that acclimation is not the work of a day. There is encouragement, however, in the substantial progress already made with the Angora goat in America, where the fruits of decades or centuries in older countries are matured in years. In how brief a time has this vast country been stocked with all the animal wealth which Europe had to bestow! How rapidly have we appropriated all the best ovine and bovine races of the Old World! Within half a century we have spread the Merino sheep over all the prairies of the West, and within a less period have acquired and perfected the cattle of the Durham short-horn breed, and even sent them back to ameliorate the parent stock in England. (A case in point is the recent great sale of short-horns in the State of New York, several of which went to English pastures—among them the famous "$40,000 cow"—as noted in the Times of last week.) The hope then, is not vain that the precious Angora race, whose deliberate march westward we have traced from the remote East, may at no distant time be as fully secured to the Western World as it now is to the State of California. FORESTS IN GERMANY.—Few people have any idea of the extent of forest land in Germany, and most imagine that of the Black Forest little is left except a tradition and a FORESTS IN GERMANY.—Few people have any idea of the extent of forest land in Germany, and most imagine that of the Black Forest little is left except a tradition and a conventional blister of woodland, so named. On the contrary, in Hanover alone there are 900,000 acres of wood under State management, while nearly a fourth part of the area of Prussia is in forest, although half of that is in private hands. As is well known, the forest administration in particular districts has long been famous especially in Thuringia and the Hartz Mountains. In North Germany generally the responsibilities are allotted in districts among a carefully organized body of officers, presided over by a forest director. The appointments are fairly remunerated, and they are so eagerly sought after that candidates will remain on probation for years at their own cost, or with moderate and precarious pay, in the hope of securing a place in the corps at last. A Vermonter having visited Iowa, decided that the proper man in the East to go West, are those who are poor; those who are rich or who are doing well, ought not to go. Further, it is as hard to make money in the West as in the East, and an enterprising man can make money anywhere. Therefore, there is no necessity for anybody to go West, and there is no use for the West. Wylie, of Glasgow, Scotland, has come all the way to Boston to prove his proficiency in the game of checkers, whereat he challenges any one to play with him for two hundred dollars a side.
