TIE editor Of the FARMER has thought Of
giving the goat trial though he had been
accustomed to an animal Of larger size, but
as his favorite horse is over the mountain,
and feeling the need Of a little saddle prac-
tice, he has queried whether a goat would
not be his next "bcst holt" Of one thing
he is sure, the company in which be would
train would be of the best, and if he should
by any mishap get endorsed, they would
stand ready like good Samaritans to bind up
his wounds, in body and spirit, and send him
on his way rejoicing. Having seen many
good horses, cattle, sheep, etc., belonging to
the grangers of Vermont. he is very anxious
to kdow about the "blood," condition, value,
ETC., of that mysterious goat" and as prac-
teal experience seems the best way to secure
the desired knowledge, his course ought to
be tolerably clear Ed. FARMER.
