ANGORA GOATS.
• The flocks at Bickerstaffe ( North Auckland) and Motuara Island ( Queen Charlotte Sound ) have made good progress during the past year. The progeny of the second and third crosses of the Angora from the common goat, show a satisfactory approach to the mohair type, and the fleece is assuming a commercial value. The efficiency of the goats, both pure and crossbred, as destroyers of blackberry, briar, and other weeds, has been proved in many situations, and there is a great demand for both sexes for use in breeding herds for this purpose.
