INDUSTRY FOR
(Cordova Times.)
Mrs. Mary E. Hart, wife of the late
Frank Hart, of Cordova, who has been
identified with Alaska since the early
days at Nome, contributes an inter
esting article to the Montara, (Cal.,)
Comet on “A Coming Profitable Indus
try for Women.” Mrs. Hart lives at
Corte Madera, Cal., where she owns a
beautiful little residence.
In a personal letter to a friend she
says she intends to visit Alaska, and
expresses her appreciation ' of the
kindness shown her by our people in
the following words: “I have a warm
spot in my heart for Cordova, as it
was the place that my husband liked
best, and where his remains are re
posing on the beautiful banks above
Lake Eyak. Sometime I shall visit
Cordova again and place a monument
at his grave. I would like the friends
who were so kind in his last illness, to
know that I have not forgotten them.”
Mrs. Hart’s latest literary contribu
tion deals with a new industry in Cal
ifornia, and she believes Alaska offers
an excellent field for the example set
by the fair sex of that state. Her arti
clcle is herewith reproduced:
Miss Morris Wagner and Miss Irma
garde Richards are demonstrating the
fact that goat raising—that is, the
rearing of imported breeds—-is a most
remunerative industry, and especially
adapted for the so-called “weaker
sex.” These young ladies have a flock
of half a hundred, full blood and
mixed breeds, which command a ready
sale of from $20 to $200 per head, ac
cording to pedigree. The milk at hos
pitals is in demand at 60 cents per gal
lon, and one of the large San Fran
cisco markets has a standing offer of
an equal amount per pound for all the
goat milk cheese than can be produced
from the Los Cabritas herd, the name
that has been adopted.
The animals increase rapidly and en
tail scarcely any expense for mainten
ance aside from the labor of herding,
as the succulent grasses and twigs in
the beautiful Montara canyons furnish
ample provision.
A pur'- bred doe will give four to six
| quarts of milk daily in season, and
one gallon of milk makes a pound of
the most delicious cheese. Only 105
of these Toggenburgs have been im
ported into the United States and the
young ladies are congratulating them
selves upon the quality as well as
the rapidly increasing number of their
herd. The work of herding, milk
and choe»e making is all done by the
two girls, who have formed a co-part
nership, and the outdoor lfe has trans
formed them from frail and almost
anaemic college graduates into pic
tures of blooming health and unbound
ed energy.
A few days since they burned off
the thick underbrush and weeds on
the hillsides of their north canyon and
will soon have a pasturage of new suc
culent growth when the winter rains
set in.
The industry promises to become
popular in Alaska, a small herd hav
ing already been established at Sitka,
and the writer is strongly tempted to
give up all other interests and trans
form at least a portion ofthe so-called
“Frozen North” into an Arcadia simi
lar to the delightful one so recently
discovered in the fertile canyons of
beautiful Montara.
