Leads Lambs to the Slaughter.

The goat is an important parsonage
in the loading of lambs. When the
chute is opened he proceeds up into
the car and Immediately the lambs
follow him. The goat goes into the
car and up to the front, where he
waits few minutes and then returns
Of his own volition to the yards to
wait for another car to be backed up,
when he again leads another bunch up
the chute. The cars are double deck
ed and both decks are filled at the
same time, which requires a goat for
each deck.
These goats are kept at the stock
yards and at the several feeding sta
tions along the route to the markets
for reloading. Old Bob, the Pueblo
goat, is so well trained that he at
tends to business as faithfully and in
diligently as the men engaged in load
ing the lambs on the cars.-Monte
