There was an old man who had a wooden leg; He bad no money, and he just coulda'i beg; But he had a piece of pipe and a 12 inch board And he said, "By golly, I'll build me a Ford." So he took a gallon of gas and a sprinkle of oil And a piece of rusty wire to make him a coil; Four big spools and an old tin can, He hammered them together and the blamed thing ran.

"Moet parte of Cll,nada where live stock production prevails are suitable to the raising of Angoras, especially if the land is high and dry the greater Part of the year, They will under, stand the rigor of even the coldest winter and do not require any greater shelter than a shed to protect them from wind and storm, providing a sufficient quantity of nutritious Ifood and pure water are supplied, The Angora goat performsfa two -fold sera vice in the Canadian scheme of ferret- ing. arming. Ib produces a high grade of mohair and at the same time may be used for the destruction of under- brush on lands to be broken for sub- sequent cultivation," Such is one of the opening paragraphs of Pamphlet No, 12 of the Sheep and Goat Division of the Live Stuck Branch devoted to the Angora Goat and a general dis- cussion of methode of management, feeding and breeding, and of mohair production, by T. Reg. Arkeil, B,S.A,, B, Sc., and Horace V, Bent, B. S,, that can be had at no cost whatever by application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The Pamphlet gives a brief sketch of the origin and history of the Angora, which from being a native of Turkey in Asia has travelled some- what extensively into South Africa, is fairly well known in the United States and not as well known in Canada as desirable. Mohair, of which Turkey. in times of peace, supplies 10,000,000 lbs. annually, South Africa 15 000.000 lbs. and the rest of the world 6,000,000 lbs„ is the technical name given the hair of the Angora goat, The word is derived from the French "mohere" and, primarily, from the Arabic "muskhoyyar", meaning mohair cloth. This, with a vast deal more informat- ion about a particularly useful goat, is furnished in the pamphlet under notice. Nature and the necessary treatment for breeding and raising are set forth with details of markeb poe- , ibilities, of shearing, of, grading, and of preparation for shipment, Extracts from letters written by suceessful breeders in Canada and the United States telling of their experience are printed as well as some account of the complaints to which -the animals are occasionally subject, with advice as to preventives and remedies. Illustra- tions of types and fleeces carried at various ages lend impression, expres- sion and interest to the pamphlet, Toronto Fair Best on Record. Directors Planning Programme on Scale Commensurate with a Record Attendance. There was never a time in tho thirty- seven years of its history when the Canadian National Exhibition promis- ed more real instruction and enter- tainment than this year. In addition to the marvelous proofs of the manner in which the patriot at home is taking care of his responeibilities in the way of increased production that the patriot at the front may have the wherewithal to keep in his place in tie battleline, there will be special feat- ures of patriotic and historic signifi- cance. The big war spectacles in front of the Grand Stand will be quite the moss elaborate pageant ever presented by the Fair, while the Model Military Oamp, aeroplane flights and the min- ing and torpedoing of ships in the harbour, supplemented by the war trophies, will be a revelation, The new Giant Midway with its army of spielers, never presented a more diversted list of attractions, while the Hippodrome and Circus in front of the Grand Stand will be a triumph in the amusement line`, The Fair this year in all departments promises to excel] any previous one ever held in Toronto. The Directors are looking forward to a repetition of the "Million Year" and are planning their programa on a scale to fit this immense attendance, Page Five - REMEMBER Our Monster Clearance ..SALE..
