Milk Goats.

4sAhAA OO1Lcs
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has been looking some
what into the question of using goats
for milk producers. Italy uses the
goat largely as milk animal, and II
is not uncommon there for the milk
man to lead goat up flight OF
stairs and milk it before the buyer of
the milk. For one thing, that insures
that the milk is fresh. In some of
the cities Of the United States it is not
uncommon to see in the suburbs,
where weeds and rubbish abound, a
goat tied out That goat is not mere
ly for pet. It supplies some family
with milk AS far as the observation
Of the writer goes, the practice of
keeping goats in American cities for
this end is most common among the
Irish.
Very eminent physicians affirm that
goat milk is the best solution of the
problem Of tuberculosis, slow con-
sumption being the form in which
most persons recognize tuberculosis
in man. DR.. Finley Bell, of the New
York Academy of Medicine, agrees
with Sir William Broadbent in saying
the goat is not subject to tuberculosis.
The testimony of leading English goat
keepers support him in this position.
Such a distinguished parsonage as
Professor Nocard says that out of
10000 goats and kids taken to Paris
yearly for slaughter not one has been
found by the meat inspectors to be
affected by tuberculosis.
Suggest the use of goat milk, and
nine times out of ten you are told
that it is not 1T to drink. That is
more a matter of habit than anything
else. There are some who declare
that catfish are unfit to eat. Others
say perch are no good. But the funny
thing about it is that each of these
may be eating the fish that the other
says is unfit to eat. # we had been
raised on goat milk, we should say it
is fine. Many who speak from expert
ence, among them the investigators
Ou OLlJ1Su COumASSlOnS Say SOdC
milk has a richness and favor SUI
perior to what can be found in cow
milk.
While goats respond to good treat
ment, they will find living where
cows could not, and they give sur
prising amount of milk-that is, the
milk breeds do. There is more differ
ence among the breeds of goats in the.
amount of milk given than there is
among the breeds of cattle. 1t will
surprise some to learn that an Amer
lean Mich Goat Record Association
was organized over four years ago;
also that while quart of milk is a
fair yield for some goats, some have
been known to yield from four to six
and even twelve quarts of milk a
day. At present mich goats are
scarce in this country, and they com
mand prices that are inclined to make
buyers dizzy,

and adjoining counties the cotton
planters complain of growing pre-

The bolls are generally affected at
the point, and from there the rot
spreads until the entire boil has been
eaten away. In appearance the bolls
thus afflicted look something like an
thracnose cotton, but cotton experts
here declare that they are not the
same. Mr.. Foreman has forwarded his
specimen to the state entomologist in
Atlanta for diagnosis of the case,
The movement OF cotton at this

is about two weeks behind. Not more
than three-fourths of an average crop

Bean Leaf Beetle.

During the present month of July
the people of the western states are
often greatly annoyed by the appear
ice OF beetles on the bean vines.
This insect destroys the vines by eat
ing away the surface of the leaf, es-
pecially on the under side. The par
ten beetles live owe winter n ap-
pear ON the bean vines shortly after
they come out of the ground. They
live upon the vine, eating the leaves
for ONE weeks and during July lay
patches of yellow eggs. The eggs are
usually laid on the under sides of the
leaves and most commonly on those
close to the ground. When the eggs
hatch, the young scatter over h I'm
der surfaces of the leaves, destroying
them. Very quickly the plants be-
come brown and b beans fail to ma
ture properly. The loss to the crop is
oftentimes very eve
1t is rather difficult to combat this
insect because bean vines are very
susceptible TO any %aFsenical poison
that may be used upon them. In COM
mon garden patches it viii pay to
hunt over the vines every few days
during July for the patches Of eggs.
These may be found by turning the
leaves upward and examining the un-
dersides. These patches should be
crushed Immediately When the
young insects appear on the leaves
their presence Is quickly detected on
account of the injury, mi great num-
bers of them may be killed by brush
ing them off onto the ground. This
should be done in the middle of the
day when h ground is dry and hot,
and every effort made to get the
young away from the plants and onto
the ground where they VIII be Expos
ed to the rays of the sun. Very few
that are treated In this way will sur
vive to get back to the plant.
