A. Hathaway, OF the Big Elk country,

gonian that they will eat brush briars,

search for and devouf juat what the
farmer desires to get rid Of, entirely
ignoring grass, which they seldom

trouble and more profitable than sheep,
requiring little OF no attention; and, if
proper sheds are provided, they will re-
turn from their feeding grounds as
regularly as clockwork every evening.
He paid IS head for his arst lot Of
goats, which cost was more than re,

of the nannies dropped two kids each.
By the exercise Of a little care and
attention during the time he has been

sheared from the goat always is in de-
mand at fair price.
