Excerpt from A Manual of Angora Goat Raising: With a Chapter on Milch Goats The remarkable development of the Angora and mohair industry in this country during the last three years and the widespread demand for definite and reliable information concerning the breeding and raising of this class of goats and the production of mohair, emphasized by more than one hundred thousand letters of inquiry, a large number of which have come directly to the office of the American Sheep Breeder, have made apparent the desirability of and necessity for a manual or hand-book concise and cheap enough to be within the reach of all, and yet comprehensive enough to meet the wants of new beginners as well as veteran breeders. To meet this demand we are pleased to present this volume - "Angora Goat Raising and Milch Goats." The author, Prof. Geo. F. Thompson, the distinguished editor of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, is the recognized authority in this country upon the subjects herein treated. The book is the result of years of painstaking study and research, and we offer it to the American public in the belief that it will meet a warm welcome and subserve the purpose for which the gifted author prepared it. The industries treated in these pages are yet in their infancy and manifestly have a great future. The demand for Angoras and mohair is far in excess of the supply and likely to remain so for many a year to come. We have many millions of acres of rough mountain, hill and brush land eminently suited to the goat industry, but unsuited to any other domestic use, that may be profitably devoted to the raising of Angoras and mohair, and until these are utilized, the mission of this book will not be wholly fulfilled. Coincident and coextensive with the Angora movement is a general awakening of interest in milch goats, especially in the towns and cities and among the leading physicians, hospitals and sanitariums. Our author gives an admirable summary of up-to-date information upon this subject, which we are sure will be received with marked approval.
