VALUE OF THE GOAT.

An Animal Which Deserves Promine nj
Place on the Farm.
In England they now have special
breed of goats for the dairy, and an as
sociation has been formed, the best an.
imals registered in flock book, and q
general improvement determined on.
In fact, an illustration of celebrated
dairy goat, recently appearing in an
English paper, showed such capacity
of udder as to compare favorably with
some COWS now in +. our dairies. And
why should not the goat be given a
useful place among our domestic ami
mails? If it can be so improved as to
give large quantities of milk, it will
largely contribute to the assistance of
those who have no facilities for keeping
COW. while their prolificacy will place
them within the reach of all. There
is very foolish prejudice against the
goat. Its flesh is even superior to NUT
ton, possessing gamey favorin which
the sheep is lacking, and if the males
are fatted, and sold at about one year
old, we venture to predict that once
the public is educated to the value of
the meat there will grow up a demand
which will not be easily supplied.
As to the flesh of the kid,
it is excellent. The goat being
herbaceous. and living on the same food
as the sheep, should destroy all preju-
dice that may exist. The She goat some
times gives as much as six quarts Of
milk. il they are superior mixers, and
the milk is not only rich az cream but
in all the elements that form COM
plete food. Butter is not made from
goats milk, but some of the richest and
best favored cheeses are produced from
it. We predict that ere long we will
begin to import strains of good milking
goats from Europe.-Farna, Field and
St0ckmdn.

THE PIANO PLAGUE.

Berlin Tclectrician's Humane and In.
valuable Invention.
1t is no secret, says continental
contemporary, that private scholar is
a ruined man if next door to his resi-
dence on the same floor a maiden prac-
tices on the piano from eight o'clock
to twelve in the morning, and in the
afternoon again from three to seven,
besides giving performances to friends
in the evening. Knocking against the
wall, whistling, bombarding the wall
with boots, il all of no avail against
piano-mania. There has, indeel,
hitherto been no remedy, and we are
still waiting for piano tax. Lately,
however, Berlin electrician has helped
tortured friends by means of piano.
piano on Il lovely spring day; her de,
light at touching the keys could be felt
through the wall, when suddenly-oh,
heavens!--the whole piano went out of
tune and not a single sound was
correct. The girl trembled with fear,
and the operators next door heard
through the wall how she began
to weep, which softened the heart
of the electrician, who was, however,
furiously attacked by his friend when
attempting to restore its music to the
instrument, tho enraged savant swear
ing that the tortures which he had en-
dured from the piano were not to be
atoned for SO easily. The case of
Else's piano became widely known,
chiefly because now and then the old
clear music returned to the keys. The
greatest musicians and pianist doctors
came in flocks to examine the strange
case, but no one could solve the riddle,
which was finally explained as follows:
A large electro-magnet was put into
the room of the tortured savant, and its
pole was put close to the wall, against
which stood the piano in the next
house. An electric battery was con-
nected with the electromagnetic. When-
ever strong stream of electricity was
turned on its effect could easily be felt
through the wall by the horizontal
steel springs in the piano, and although
the electricity was not very powerfully
felt it was quite powerful enough to
put the piano out Of tune. Whenever
the electric stream was stopped, which
occurred as often as the victim of the
piano plague went out, the mystical
influence stopped and Miss Else could
play.-PGN Hall Gazette. srfsn
