exercised, however, as IL absorbs sodors
easily and an unpleasant flavor will. be
found il the sanitary conditions are not
# the best. For that reason the goat Is
not MIXED in the stall, but in a special
room. The amount Of milk yielded may
vary from pint to four quarts a day. A
goat which gives two quarts is considered
valuable. The tactical period ought TO con-
tinue five or six months. Thus. If a family
has two nannies, one coming fresh in the
spring and the other in the fall, its milk
needs are properly cared for.
II IL were not for the difficulty in Ret4
ting good breeding animals, milch goats
would soon be common in this country
even as they are abroad. There lie a wide
and growing interest in goats for milking
purposes. The government has Just com
pleted a census showing that there are
fifty-five regular breeders in the United
States, and probably there are in reality a
number of others, whose names were not
obtained. The agricultural experiment sta
ton at Geneva, N: Y, is not included in
the list, although it has a fine herd.
For some years the government has been
fostering the interest in goats, but has been
hampered because importations have been
interfered with on account of quarantine
measures. At one time large herd of
Maltese goats were imported; but the ami
mails were quarantined in New York har-
Dor, where most of them died. That ex-
pertinent seemed to dampen the govern
mental enthusiasm for a time; but the in
sistent demand for information continued
and the authorities are now helping In the
general goat propaganda.

TALKING of
DRINKING CUPS
Doctor Ramsey Upholds His
Legislation.

Perth Amboy, July 16-Criticisms
OF the law against public drinking
cups are unjustified, in the mind of
DR.. w. E. Ramsay, assemblyman from
Middlesex, who introduced the bill.
When people become educated as
to the benefits of the law, said the
doctor, in an interview here last week.
they will more fully realize it's bene-
hts. have no number of complaints
about the new law; only a few scat
tering ones. The idea of those inter
ested in the general welfare comedies
with the reasons the authors of the
bill had in mind. If you could see the
children that come to nv office and
to the office of every physician, with
the beginnings of growths in their
! mouths, you would more fully realize
the Importance of the law. am con-
vinced that these growths, in the
great majority of cases, were con-
| tracted from public drinking cups"
DR.. Ramsay said the bill was pre-
sented to him by the New Jersey As
| sociation for the Prevention of Tuber
culosis. The bill went through with
out a. dissenting vote. AS for intima-
| tions that the law will be repealed,
| DR.. Ramsay said he did not think it
possible. "The bill was passed., he
| said, partly for it's educational ad-
vantages, showing the people the ne
cessity of guarding against contagion.
When this is more fully understood.
there will be less talk about repeal
| ing"
Regarding the proposition that the
bill be amended to force railroads to
| install individual cups, the doctor said
he did not think it possible. "Such a
clause in the bill would have made it
unconstitutional" he said 81 doubt
that We could have compelled any one
to do such a thing. The same holds
! true for separate bill, providing for
individual cups. The fact that the rail-
roads did not oppose the bill at Tren-
ton. but are known to have favored
it, makes it appear that they can be
induced to provide for the drinking
public without legislation. The Penn
sylvania is installing individual cups
| and in fact had begun to do so months
before this bill was introduced, and
its example will undoubtedly be fol-
| lowed.
1T is certainly embarrassing to en-
ter railroad station and want a
drink of water with no means of pro-
curing it, but it is better to have this
temporary inconvenience than the
contamination from public drinking
cups. The anti-drinking cup law is
enforced in several western states,
where its advantages are thoroughly
realized"

The Popular View of 1t

In discussing the public cup ques-
ton, the Newark Call says:
"The law prohibiting the use of
public drinking cups became effec-
tive almost simultaneously with the
arrival of the heat wave. 1t was a
law readily enforced, it had the ap-
proval of corporations directly af+
fected, and it was given an immediate
and thorough test. From the start it
was unpopular. Except in rare in
stances, it meant that the public could
not drink water without paying. This
was aggravated by the countenancing
of the sale of drinking cups on some
railroads at extortionate prices. In
other cases the old cups were removed
and the drinking was done from fauc-
cts, defeating the very purpose of the
law.
THE sufferings provoked by these
conditions during the extreme heat
brought forth a general attack upon
the law and clamor against it that
went so far as to voice demand for
its repeal
while the sanitary value of the law
cannot be called in question, the pub
lie is nevertheless entitled to some
protection of it's conveniences which
is not provided in this instance. DR..
Ramsay believes a clause in the law
providing such protection would have
rendered it unconstitutional, but this
is by no means certain. The test was
one that should have been made, and
it is not too late now"
