GOAT OF
BEST MILK SPECIES
American Consul in Switzer-
land Gives Information

There have been numerous inquiries
through the st. Gall consulate recently
concerning Toggenburger goats and
their Importation from Switzerland into
the United States, which leads Consul
r. E. Mansfield to supply the. following
information:
This special milk producing breed of
goats comes from the canton of st. Gall,
where they pasture upon the scant
vegetation of the mountains and little
valleys and thrive in the high attitudes.
They are of medium size, of gray color,
and rather long coat. The females are
hornless. white the males have sharp
curved horns. They produce their first
offspring when / year DID, sometimes
younger They occasionally breed twice
a year not infrequently producing twin
kids. but frequent breeding impairs the
strength of the animals and renders
them less valuable for milking pur-
poses.
The goats become milk producers
after the birth of the first offspring
but do not attain their greatest ca
pacity as mixers until about 5 years
old good milk animal OF the Tog-
genburg breed will produce from 80 to
200 gallons of milk in a year some of
them exceeding that figure. The milk
is said to be especially desirable as food
for children and for the manufacture
of cheese.
Like most animals of their class the
Toggenburgers thrive where the orr
binary animal would starve, which re-
duces the cost of maintenance to the
minimum. Ordinary hill pasture during
the summer. and bran, ground corn, or
oil cakes, with a little fodder in the
winter is the feed usually provided for.
them in Switzerland. In order to oh
tain plentiful supply of milk they
should be well housed in cold weather.
The goats are of contented nature
and mild disposition and are tractable,
even the males seldom being vicious.
They are hardy and will withstand
almost any kind of changeable or Sc
we're climate. One experienced man can
care for 40 or so animals in the winter
when stabbed, and double that number
when on pasture. The flesh of the
young goats makes good food. A kid
from 6 weeks to 2 months old will pro-
duce from IL to 20 pounds of meat.
which is tender and brings good prices
in the Swiss market.
The price of milk goats varies ac-
cording TO age, quality. size and the
season when purchased. The best time
to purchase is in the autumn when
they are taken off pasture. The average
price per head is as follows: Females.
1 to ? years, $500 per head; years
and over. $40 per head: males, / to
years, $40 to $50 per head.
The cost of expectation from Switz
erland to the United States is about
s29 per head.

IMPERILS LIFE IN POSE.
sculptor Was ENtricated with DifH
GUILTY from Quicksnnd.

One of the most remarkable works
exhibited this year in the salon OF
French artists is that of NJ. Paul Ca
pellani, a young sculptor whose work
savors Of realism because of his insist
ence that the model from which he pat
termed his subject should undergo
some of the agonies which he wished
to depict. Sucked In" is the name
under which this piece of sculpture is
designated in the catalogue, and but
one glance at the work is necessary to
portray its meaning, says L'Illustra-
ton.
Close to the sea, submerged in
quick sand up his armpits, with his
body slowly sinking in the treacherous
mass, is man. The upturned face
expresses the sufferings of mind and
body which he is undergoing; the
strained eyes are filled with the mad
ness of despair, the mouth, wide
open, seems gasping for a few last
breaths, and the outstretched arms
are contending in hopeless struggle
with the sand which is sucking him
down.
There is a startling realism about
this piece of sculpture which is not
less startling when one learns that the
ingenious sculptor himself posed for
1t in real quicksand before the lens
of a moving picture machine. The un-
dertaking was filled with more danger
than either the sculptor or photogra-
pher realized, and aid had to be called
from terra firma beyond before either
could be extricated from the quick
sand where they had risked them
selves in the interests of art. The ex-
pertinent was a successful one, how
ever, and the sculptor stands as a
striking piece of art taken from real
life.
