MILK GOATS
A Herd Of Milk Goats Direct From
Switzerland Will be q Feature

A Herd Of Milk Goats Direct From
Switzerland Will be Feature
Of the Fair.
There will be exhibited ut the COM
ing county fair herd of milk goats
directly from Switzerland. These
goats were raised by FIR. Sucker, on
his own mountain land in the little
republic of Switzerland. The milk of
the goats Of Switzerland brings an
enormous revenue to the owners.
While Switzerland is only little
larger than Richland county the milk
from the goats of the republic brings
an annual income of $40, 900, 600. 90.
When we think of the disrepute in
which the common goat of America
stands, we smile when some one
speaks of goat, yet we think of the
important part that they play with the
finance If Switzerland, we should be
rather slow to condemn an animal that
we know nothing or little of. These
goats are hornless. very domestic,
never fight and give in milk from 4 to
9 quarts per day. One COW eats as
much a 8 goats. The milk is much
richer and more healthy than cows
milk. The goats that will be ex-
hibited this fall at the fair, are a
strain of milk goats that have been
kept pure in the mountains of Switzer-
land for the. past 300 years. The first
importation to this country was in 1904
when l6 were landed in America.
There are only few at the present
time in the United States, and it will
be worth the while of every resident
of the state to see this herd of goats
which will be OF. exhibition.
