Angora Goats by George Edward Allen

Millions of acres of land in the mountain districts of America and along the great lakes are overgrown with brush and weeds. For ordinary industrial purposes they are worthless. A permanent revenue of even a few cents an acre from this vast territory would add millions, if not billions, to the wealth of the country. A cent a year from a piece of land as large as a city lot does not seem like much money, but on a val- uation of a dollar an acre, which is a liberal figure for brush and stumps, it is a greater percentage of profit than is realized from the best improved property in New York City.
