Goats to Protect sheen

The old idea that the goats are all
bad and the sheep all good will have
to be modified, if the goat proves
himself as useful as a southern farm
er says he is. After trying in vain to
protect his sheep against sheep-kill-
ing ours by shooting an occasional
cur that presented a good mark, Mr..
J. A. Morris, of Atlanta, bought some
Angora goats. He found that these
animals, while friendly with sheep,
fought the stray dogs to finish. Not
only so, but their pugilistic spirit
spread to the rams, which had for.
merly been afraid Of the dogs, and
SO the flock was doubly protected. If
this faculty of the Angora goat is
general it will be worth many thou
