History of the Goat

The common or domestic goat was
originally native of the highlands Of
Asia. Naturai,ts generally regard il
rs having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country of Persia, called in the
Persian language the paseng. Its legs
are longer than those of the common
goat, and its horns are very much lar
ger. 1t is not always easy to distin-
guish between the species and var cites
of goats. The common goat has exist
ed rs domestic animal in oriental
countries from the very earliest times.
From there it spread al over the world,
manfesting n remarkable adaptability
to climate and circumstances. In this
diversity OF surroundings great diver
sity of breeds has appeared. such rs the
Angora goat the Syrian goat, the
Cashmere goat, the Guinea goat of AZ
RIGA, and many others. No quadruped,
except the dog. has shown such sus-
cept blity of variation. These d fer
ences show most markedly in the quail
ity and quantity of the hair, and in tho
relative abundance of the two coats,
the long, silky OUTER covering and tho
softer woolly hair beneath it Goats
are found Wild in mountainous coun-
tries only; the are very surc-footcd on
narrow lodges or rocks, and show
great strength and ability in leaping.
They also prefer rs food tho leaves and
branches of shrubs and the herbs found
on mountains to the heritage of tho
richest lowland pastures. Among tho
Greeks and Romans the goat was sac
r,iiccd to Bacchus because Of its ten
dency to injuro grapcvines by eating
its young tcnlrils and leaves The
goat is not found wild in extreme north
crn countries. but when under domes-
tication thriveS rs well within shed
in the northern districts OF Scandinavia
as in the hottest parts of Asia and At
rica. All the species OF the goat are
natives of the old world The Rocky
mountain goat, SO called. of North
America. really belongs to the antelope
family. -.iHdntd Consultation.
