BREEDING GOATS FOR MILK.
Uncle Sam Imports Some From Malta
 for Experiments.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Uncle Sam has just imported sixty-eight Maltese goats and expects that within a few years the increase from this herd will be distributed over the United States. Owing to the stringent quarantine regu- lations the goats are to be sent to the experiment station at the Connecticut State Agricultural college, Storrs, Conn., Investigations of the manufacture of some of the foreign cheeses are being made at the college and the milk from these goats will be used
 It is intended also to breed the goats and to send the young animals to sta tions in other parts of the country. The purpose of the government is to estab- fish the fact that goats may be success fully raised in this country for the pur- pose of supplying milk. Milch goats are common In European countries, where they are driven from door to door and millxed upon demand. Goats milk is par ticularly popular in Switzerland and on the island of Malta very few cows are kept
 It has been found that the milk of goats is unusually well adapted to the use of infants of all kinds. The great animal trainer, Hagenbeck, maintains a herd of goats especially to provide milk for the young animals in his menagerie.
 There are several private importers of goats in this country. One of them, Rob- ert N Riddle of Carteret N. J., brought oyer considerable number of Toggen- burg goats last summer. This breed

 The common American goat is not of much value, as a rule, for milking pur- poses because 1t has not been bred with that purpose in view Across the water scientific goat breeders have been en- deavoring for years to fix this trait, just as in this country dairymen are trying to secure strains of heavy .nallkers among cattle It is believed that by crossing the native goats and imported animals a breed of good milkers will be produced in a few years.
