MILK GOATS
A Herd Of Milk Goats Direct From
Switzerland Will be a Feature
If the Fair

Switzerland Will be a Feature
of the Fair.
There will be exhibited at 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 a little
larger than Richland county the milk
from the goats of the republic brings
an annual income of $4,000, 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
8 quarts per day. One COW eats as
much 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 il. 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.

A Hint to Husbands.

Isn't it strange that some men, who
will be kind and obliging to their
neighbors, gentlemanly and polite to
other ladies, will be so rude and cold
and harsh at home, and perfect bears
TO their wives-crabbed, snappish, I'M
generous and altogether unsocial and
hateful? Does anybody know OF any
such men? Not that we wish to lay
all the wrong doing and blame on
mankind. or condemn them EN- masse,
not at all. There are plenty Of good,
noble men, but not quite enough.
When they are so strong, and have 80
much power TO do good, and win love,
and bless their homes, why won they
all do il.

A Chat with our YOUNG Men.

Boys. let us be men. Lei Us be
honest, earnest, young men and we
shall then be noble men. Nobleness
and gentleness are not one and rarely
do we find them living in peace with
each other. We may never be what
the world calls great, but we can all
be noble men, and our nobleness can
commence this very hour and just
where we are. \ young mans first
and truest act Of nobility is TO love
honor and protect his parents. When
he becomes too proud to be seen walk
ing as a staff to a lettering, helpless
father, or TO stand by the bedside OF
her who is waiting a moment this side
Of the river TO catch one more gaze,
through the fading shadow OF the
past. Of her little boy lost in manhood
he is surely fast going down the emf
hence Of manllness.
When we launch our ships on the
morning waves Of the great sea Of life
let US guide them by the light Of home,
with the helm Of the cradle words OF
our mother. Not until We have left
home and are wanderers in the curious
strangeness Of a strange land, un
noticed, UNDECIDED, lonely and weary
will we know Of truth what a mother
Is. Then we feel that she is good and
we bless her Never can we repay oul
mothers kindness. Her witheret
form and her silvering braids shall be
defended till that day cometh wher
He shall make up His jewels-anC
then, we ween, Heaven will know ne
kinder, no brighter, no purer ange
than she. When the ever SHINING
stars shall wane in the fading Of on
visions. and the noisy world will grow
still in our sleep Of death, will we for
get her; not till then.

Marengo, one Of the most magnificent
OF all war horses and Washington had

who have been "quartered with the

had horses who have claimed a large
