CAPABILITIES of the Mich Goat.


in spite of the prejudice against them.
In this state the greatest obstacle in
the way of successful dairying is the
lack of good pasture. This can, of
course. be overcome by planting va
rious substitutes for the blue grass of
northern pastures. But as things are,
the goat will live and thrive where
even Florida cattle would starve. In
spite of the general prejudice against
it the milk has been found to be much
more wholesome for children and in
valids than that from cows, and when
used a short time is quite as well
relished.
The following is from the American
Farmer:
The two subjects uppermost in
dairy circles just now are the mich
goat and a milking machine. The
suggestion that goats milk is pre-
ferred for hospital patients in cities
and for children everywhere, has set
some enterprising men and women to
specializing On the probable profits TO
be derived from dairy farms made up
exclusively of goats. There is no
doubt about the superiority of goats
milk over that of the cow for some
purposes and it is known that there
is considerable demand for this pro-
duct, but to what extent of course, is
not so easy to ascertain. The dis.
cussiOn naturally brings out. inquiry
as to the best breeds for dairy pur-
poses and our cOnSulS abroad are be-
ing urged by the department to look
up information i'm those countries
where goat breeding has long been
recognized industry. The Swiss are
perhaps the most skilled of all goat
herds, their mountain slopes and ele-
waited valleys being peculiarly adapted
to goat culture. There, naturally, en-
quiries have been set on foot and
some information of interest has been
sent over from our COnsul-General at
st. Gall. 1t relates to the Toggen-
burg goat a variety which seems en-
tirely unknown in this country but
one that has long been a favorite i'm
the land of William Tell The milk
of this goat is rich i'm quality and
keeps quite as well as cows milk. 1t
sells for three and a half to about
four cents quart. These goats breed
at a year old. the time of CESSATION
being five months. The food in sum-
mer consists of grass and shrubs but
i'm winter. if the milk is to continue
rich i'm quality. small quantity of
grain and hay must he given and the
temperature of the stall should be
kept at from 81 to 60 degrees Fahren-
heit
In regard to the amount of Das-
ture land REQUIRED for the support of
this animal. it is computed that six to
eight goats will need as much as one
cow. and that one man can manage
from forty to fifty goats Generally
Speaking the milk of the COW is more
pODUlar. but for children the goats
milk is in greater demand. rs tuber-
rnlOsis is hardly ever found i'm these
hardy animals. The milk of the goat
makes an excellent cheese and fairly
good butter but as to the latter the
milk of the COW retains its nre-emi
nence. The meat of the young GOATS.

Lafnyette's Medal,


Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second Sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles, where
the King was about to review division
of troops. Lafayette was asked to join
in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side of
the Prince de Condo, when the King,
in his tour of conversation with the Off
(cers, came to him and, after speaking
On several topics, asked him some ques-
lions about his uniform and the mill
tary costume of the United States. The
Kings attention was attracted by a
little medal attached to the generals
coat, and he asked what it was.
Lafayette replied that it was sym
Dol which it was the custom of foreign
officers in American service to wear,
and that it bore a device
And what is the device upon yours?'
asked the King.
MY Device" said the young general
pointing to his medal, sis a liberty pole

ter"
The King smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican propen
sites of a French marquis in American
uniform, turned the conversation into
other channels. Condo looked grave

IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.
Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago watfies and but
ter with meat and gravy were the main
features of my breakfast. Finally dys-
pepsia came on and l found myself in
a bad condition, worse in the morning
than any other time. 1 would have a
pains in my heart, sides and head.
AT times l would have no appetite
for days, then I would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when l did eat and so
nervous 1 felt like shrieking at the top
of my voice. l lost flesh badly and
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day l bought a box of Grape-Nuts
food TO see if 1 could eat that 1 tried
it without telling the doctor, and liked
it fine; made me feel as if l had some
thing to eat that was satisfying and
still l didn't have that heaviness that
l had felt after eating any other food.
Il hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. | kept on with the Grape
Nuts and in a month and a half l had
gained 10 pounds, could eat almost any
thing I wanted, didn't feel badly after
eating and my nervousness was all
gone. It's pleasure to be we'll again"

Making Good Use of Ciuders

The street railway operating plant
of Portland, Ore, which employs saw
mill refuse as fuel, has adopted a Gin
der-separating plant with great sue
cess. A powerful draft from a steel
fan forces the furnace smoke through
a steel plate fiue into a vertical steel
cylinder thirty-two feet in diameter
The bottom is a cone-shaped hopper
for receiving the cinders, while the
smoke, after losing it's velocity, slowly
energies through an aperture at the
top. AS the gases lose velocity the
cinders, being heavier, drop into the
hopper, whence they are conveyed back
to the furnaces to be completely burned
Besides abating the smoke nuisance
the boiler economy is increased.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect OF the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
90 For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that / ate
tasted good and il caused disturbance in my
stomach. / tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. | was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. NV recovery was rapid, and IN
five weeks was q. well woman. | have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
e. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound.

African Manfoc.

The native food of the Malunda
country, in southern Africa, comprises
manioc. and that alone. 1t is plant
particularly adapted to wet, marshy
soil, says the author of In Remotest
Barotseland." 1t takes two years to
arrive at maturity, and while growing
requires very little attention.
The root when fun-grown is about
the size, and has very much the ap-
pearance of a German sausage, al
though at times it grows much larger.
One shrub has several roots, ana the
extraction of two or three in no way
Impairs the growth of the remainder.
When newly dug il tastes like a
chestnut, and the digestion of the pro-
verbal ostrich can alone assimilate it
raw; but when soaked in water for a
few days until partly decomposed,
dried on the roofs of the huts and
stamped, it forms a delightfully."- white
soft meal, far whittier and purer than
the best flour. Then It is beaten into
thick paste and eaten with little
fiavoring, composed of a locust or a
caterpillar which the natives seek N
decayed trees.
Another way of eating this native
luxury is by baking the roots after
soaking them, and eating it as you
would a banana. Taken as a whole, it
forms the best all-the-year-round ma
tive food; but l should advise all III
tending consumers to abstain from any
other food for three or four days be-
fore giving it a prolonged trial.

Who Inst RIM

There was a vacancy in the ministry
of West Highland parish, for which
three candidates preached in the church
on three successive Sundays. The first
was diminutive in stature, the second
smaller still, and the third the smallest
of all.
A lady in the congregation spoke
with a member of the church commit
tee, and demanded to know why such
small candidates had been selected.
The explanation, as writer in the
London Telegraph gives it, was this:
"Weel, mum, We see the steepends
haze become very small, and they're m
bringing DOT such big ministers as they
used to do
