GOATS AS THRAsHERS.

Picturesque Customs Practiced by
New Mexico Farmers.
The many sidedness of the domestic
goat as a contributor to the satisfac-
ton Of human needs is perhaps less I'M
derstood than the facts warrant. The
Importance Of the goatskin in the
leather trade we all know about, and
most Of us have heard that goats milk
is staple article Of diet among some
peoples. But it takes trip to New
Mexico, where herds Of these demo-
cratic animals are an everyday feature
Of the landscape, to make us scquaint-
ed with the fact that goats flesh is
shipped east by the car load to do duty
as mutton chops, that goat horn is a
material out of which the ingenious
red man loves to fashion tobacco boxes
and that the live goat makes an ex-
cellent thrashing machine. In New
Mexico 1t Is quite common to see
thrashing floor upon which wheat is
being tramped out by herd Of goats.
Such thrashing floors are made tn
the open fields by plastering bit Of
ground with adobe mud, which dries
in the hot southwestern sun to the
hardness of cement. Upon this the
ripened sheaves are spread. The goats
are then turned in and driven rapidly
round and round by shouting Mexicans
or Indians. the trampling of the multi
tudinous little hoofs gradually shatter-
ing the grain out Of the heads. When
all is considered beaten out the goats
are given q recess, and the drivers
pick up shovels and pitchforks and
start in to toss the broken straw and
the chaff high in the air. The wind
catches the light stuff in midair and
carries it away, while the grain, by
reason Of its weight, falls to the ground
! and is ready for the sack. These
thrashing customs, primitive as the
time Of the pharaohs, form one of the
most picturesque sights of agricultural
life in New Mexico, that easy going
land Of wait Bit" where in all the
United States time is cheapest and
hurry is least known. = Philadelphia
