Who will start Florida goat farm
Goats are easily raised, requiring lit
tie or no care. and in Florida especial
ly, no expensive feeding. 1t is true
there are fewer tin cans than in for
mer years lying around vacant lots
but although old tin cans are sup
posed to be the ideal food for goats
we think other and more easily di-
gested provender may be found in
abundant quantities, free of cost.
Goat milk is in many respects pref
cradle to that furnished by the COW
In Europe, and especially in Switzer-
land, it is extensively used in the
manufacture of sugar of milk, large
quantities of which are imported into
the United States or used incidentally
and in the manufacture of foods for
invalids and children.
Goat milk finds ready sale, espe-
cially so when labelled Venison, as is
so frequently the case, and this decep-
ton appears to have been handed
down from the days of the patriarchs
of ancient times. (See Genesis, 9th
chapter, list to 10th verses.)
Goat skins also find a ready market
at all times and at profitable prices
Statistics show imports of goat skins
amounting to more than $1O,OOO,OOO
during the past year, and the demand
is not likely to diminish while kid
gloves and some other articles are in
such general demand.
Goat farming, therefore, offers
profit in three distinct lines; any OF
which will warrant the undertaking,
and the three combined would make
this one of the most profitable indus
tries in Florida, and one requiring but
a small investment Of capital and
Welding immediate returns.
Sugar of milk has always been well
protected by the United States tariffs
Under the Mckinley bill it paid q
duty of eight cents per pound but was
reduced to five cents by the Wilson
bill, at which figure both House and
Senate propose to let it remain under
the Dingley bill. AS the average
Wholesale price is fifteen cents per
pound, the protection to the manufac-
ture is not likely to be less than
thirty-three and third per cent. any
time. With this protection on an arti-
Gle that can be produced as cheaply in
Florida as in Switzerland, the manu-
facture of sugar of milk ought to
yield handsome profit, and especial
ly so if undertaken on a large SCALE
