old mule than it does 3-year-old steer
and it will sell for three times the
price. Too many farmers though, sell
their mules as they do their steers,
without feeding them up.
A good-sized 2-year-old mule if prop
erly handled will do considerable
work. If we'll kept on pasture, stalks
and hay and then put up and fed for
two or three months they will usually
bring $25 to $50 more than if sold
without any special preparation. A
good span of 3-year-old mules will
usually bring from 1925 to $500. They
are usually healthy and vigorous Not
once in a hundred times is one injured
by barb wire and are seldom injured
otherwise.
The day of the small jack and the
little mule is about gone Neither
pays. The dam should weigh from
1000 to 1900 pounds. The bigger the
BETTER everything else being equal
Probably no other dam quite equals
the pure-bred or high-grade Percheron
for raising mules.
Many insist on a touch of thorough
bred blood. This is all right in a way,
but generally reduces the size and in
jures the disposition. The jack should
be large but not leggy. He should be
we'll formed, have a good back, clean,
heavy limbs and good action. The
cross of a Spanish jack and a mann
moth jennett usually gives the best
results. The while the Mammoth
dam gives the size. Spanish blood
gives finish and vigor. A good No. 1
jack is worth fortune in any neigh
borhOod and can be bought in the fall
or winter for from $500 to $1,000.

err. All the reasons which are valid
in other states also hold good in this
state.
The following interesting paper on
the Mich Goat, was read recently by
DR.. J. H. Hester, of Santa Barbara,
California, before the Southern Cali
fornia Farmers Club:
No doubt many of you have made up
your minds that a paper on mich
goats for this institute must surely be
intended as a sort of a joke, or even
if the writer might be in earnest,
such subject could interest only a
very few of those present.
For i am we'll aware of the strong
prejudice that prevails in this country
against the goat, or any of it's pro-
ducts, for food. I have many times
been amused at the look of surprise
and almost disgust on the face of the
mother when I have recommended
goats milk for the babe
The butchers also are so well aware
Of the prejudice of their patrons
against goats that unless you have
better success than I have had you
will scarcely be able to find out when
they have goat meat for sale.
They do not hesitate to buy them If
they are in proper condition, and, as
one of them Informed me, do not hest
tate in filling the order of their most
particular customers for mutton with
choice cut from a nice young goat,
as it will almost invariably bring
return order for more of "that nice
lamb while if it had been offered un-
der the true label it would have gone
begging for trial.
MY reason for selecting this seem
ingly unimportant subject was the
hope that I might be able to interest
you enough to cause you to investi
gate the merits of this valuable little
animal For I believe it would be
made to form an important branch of
our live stock industry and would very
materially aid in the solution of that
vexed problem: ''The providing of a
suitable food for infants and invalids
with weak digestive organs" Milch
goats occupy a prominent position in
the live stock industry Of Europe.
Professor Thompson says: Ger
man writer's say boldly that the mich
goat in it's later development has done
great service to the state, in that it
supplies a want which before caused
great unrest among the peasantry."
In England mich goats are gaining
more and more in number and popu-
larity each year.
The Standard Goat Company, which
was organized the past year in Wash
ington, D. C., with board of directors
composed of two prominent ply
sicians, one of whom is dean of the
medical department. of the Columbian
University, one prominent member of
the Washington bar, and one of our
leading veterinarians. The announce
ment states that the organization is
for the purpose of importing thorough
bred mich goats of Europe and Asia
into America, and exploiting the use
of goats milk for infants and invalids

give from three to five quarts per day.
with a long period of lactation. It is
claimed that many of them yield an
nually from ten to sixteen times their
body weight and exceptional ones
have given over eighteen times their
weight
Of the important breeds, I think,
for this locality, for anyone who will
give them careful attention, the Nubi-
an or Upper Egypt goat would prove
the most profitable and satisfactory.
They are the largest, being about one
and one-half times larger than the
common goat No member of the goat
family is more peaceful or gentle. 1t
is claimed that there is no odor con-
nected with this breed, even at rutting
time. 1t is an exceedingly prolific ami
NAL, having been known to give birth
to as many as IL kids during one year
-four on each of two occasions and
three at another. The female has no
horns. The hair is usually quite long,
deep brown or black, and quite fine.
The records show that Nubian is
the most productive mich goat known,
and for this reason are much sought
for to cross upon other breeds.
The Saanen and Toggenburg seem
to be the most popular Swiss breeds
They are both very hardy and both
porta ton of mich goats into this
country consisted of ten Saanens and
sixteen Toggenburgs, and It. S. Peer,
of Ithaca, n. Y, who selected this
importation, says the best individuals
of either breed are able to produce
milk per day. He says the Saanen
four and in some cases five quarts of
goats are about third larger than
the Toggenburg and are pure white,
solid brown, with white markings
about the face They are very full of
quality, and, when fresh, carry i'm
mense bags. In their native country
they are stabbed in winter and in sum-
mer go with the cattle to the noun
tains.
The Maltese GOat.-PrOfessO
Thompson says: "It is probable that
in no country has the raising of fine
mich goats been brought to such a
degree of perfection as in the Island
of Malta. 1t is said that the milk
characteristic Of the breed has been
so perfectly developed that nearly
every doe kid becomes good Mixer
The Maltese goats are about two
and "a half feet in height, while they
aften weigh 100 pounds. They are
usually hornless. The predominating
color is white, although there are
many of other colors-red, brown and
black. There are two varieties Of
Maltese goats long haired and the
short haired. The hair Of the former
is four to five inches long.
And now / will close by saying that
1 believe a mich goat dairy offers the
best prospect for profitable business
on a small investment Of anything
that 1 know of. We have a climate
that is enticing people to come from
all parts of the world in search of
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-09-26

which previously mad prOhlDlted I1e
importation of such stock from any
countries where the mich goat had
been brought to it's greatest perfec-
tion
Already an importation consisting
of representatives of two of the Swiss
breeds has been made and are report
ed as doing we'll in their new home.
There are conditions where the goat
might be utilized for the production
of milk to a much better advantage
than the cow.
The first cost Of the goat, together
with the difference in the expense for
keeping, make them available to
great many families who could not
afford cow It is claimed that eight
goats may be kept for what it would
cost to keep one cow. The goat utiliz-
es it's food better than the COW, and
gives considerable more milk in pro-
portion to- it's body weight. In case
Of dry year you can take advantage
Of the goats strong preference for
the leaves and twigs of bushes, and
transfer them to some brushy pasture,
where they will thrive even better
than on good feed.
The advantage of this characteris-
tic in the goat was impressively dem
onstrated in the early part of last
winter, when it looked as if we were
in for another dry season, and almost
every cattle owner was puzzling his
brain to decide whether or not it was
worth while to try and carry his cattle
through another drouth, 10y a band of
goats that fed upon the brush covering
the hills back of Carpenteria. A farm
er called my attention to them, saying,
''There is the kind of stock to keep;
it will make no difference with them
whether it rains or not"
Another important feature to be con-
sidered in favor of the mich goat is
the remarkable immunity from tuber-
culosis which they seem to enjoy.
Professor Law, one of our best Ameri
can authorities, says: ''Sheep and
goats kept under natural conditions
show a remarkable immunity from
tuberculosis Among the European
authorities, Hood is quoted as saying:
"Undoubtedly the most important of
all qualities of goats milk; especially
in it's relation to- the feeding of in
fants, is it's immunity from the danger
of carrying the germs of tubercular
disease"
The tables of analysis given show
the fat Of goats milk averages about
45 per cent. One writer says: elm
dividual instances, though they do not,
of course, prove the average, may be
quoted to show it's extra rdinary rich
ness.'' The milk of an Angora goat
which was analysed by F. S. Lloyd,
analyst to the British Farmers Asso-
citation, contained no less than S6S
per cent of butter fat and 9.95 per cent
of casein and milk sugar, the water
amounting to only S0.53 per cent; the
water in the average cows milk would
be about 81 per cent. A crOssbred
Toggenburg and Nubian goat gave
S.11 per cent of fat, and we have seen
no Jersey records that have reached
