goats are raised. says tho ST. Louis

and testing Is carried on by few pro
gressive men and women who have
faith In the future industry. A num-
Der OF communities keep goats both for
the milk and the flesh OF the kids.
There are some goat farms In the east.
some In the middle west and some
in the west and southwest.
Not all sections are well adapted 20

there are large areas IN nearly every
State Of the Union where they can be
raised with profit. The area for their
profitable handling win probably be
enlarged when their habits and condi-
lions for health shall have become gen
orally known
Goats In general. which Is true Of

they are affected By climate about the
same as sheep are. except that very
young kids are slightly more tender
than young lambs.
