New York Woman Surprises Friends
by Successful! Operation Of Dairy
Near Buffalo--AnimaIs Put
on Special Feeding.

New York; New York woman
has surprised her friends by making a
success of goat dairy on her farm
near Buffalo.
No one was more surprised than
my friends when went into this bust
ness" she said II hardly know my
self how | started. It's one of those
things which come to you at times
when you feel that you must do some
ing for livelihood, yet do not know
what to do-the result of an inspira-
ton, perhaps.
But you are, after leaving the city
and moving out on this farm for the
ch1ldrens sake, realized that there
was plenty of room to. carry on a
profitable business il only knew
what to do.
THE chief reason I took hold of
goat raising. I think, Is because l
heard our family doctor say that the
best thing for young children suffering
from summer complaint and malnutrl-
tton was pure goats milk. He also
said that it was the best nourishment
for weak stomachs Furthermore, he
declared it was almost impossible to
secure goats milk in the cities.
This set me to thinking. Here I
was, an able-bodied woman, and here
was plenty of room for all the goats
I could get hold Of So 1t was goats

ta1nly made a success at II.
In the first place, the worst thing
! had to contend with was that had
no ready money. went skirmishing
around and was finally able to borrow
$500, which amount I considered suf-
1cient as my first outlay. So bought
$500 worth of goats.
These were not OF any fancy breed,
but Just ordinary goats. young and in
healthy condition. The goats sim

Of what ordinary animals would starve
upon. Accordingly. ne is not expen-
sive to keep.
But to get the proper strength of
milk in its healthy, pure condition, /
put my goats on special feeding. It
was my purpose to sell my milk to
druggists and physicians To succeed
wanted the best product could get
to put on the market.
"The eagerness with which my pro
position was received by the medical
fraternity In Buffalo encouraged me to
go In for goats milk for all 1t was
worth. I assured these people they
could depend on me for a certain sup

wolves are decidedly on the In
crease in the southern part of the
state, and more have been killed there
in the past month than in former
years.
in the event that the trouble is
not abated, it is extremely probable
that united efforts will be made by
the stockman, and hunting parties
will be organized as part of a syste-
matte crusade against them.
Another means, which has been
suggested as an aid in their eEtar-
mination, is an added reward to the
bounty given by the state, which
would be offered by the stockmen.
Large bands of sheep have been
removed rom northern Utah and 1t is
generally believed that this has been
responsible for a large number Of
wolves which have come into the
southern part Of this state, for they
have been forced out OF Utah, be-
cause Of lack of food"

LONG JOURNEY ON ONE PONY

a journey OF 2,41s miles on an
Arab pony has just been accomplished
by j. H. Bill, British consul in
southern Persia, who has reached his
home in Staffordshire, England, on the
back Of this plucky little animal. He
told a newspaper representative that
he believed it constituted record for
one animal. The early stages Of the
journey were the worst, for the pony
had to tackle hilly and broken coun-
try, and he was unable to average
more than 20 miles day. One incl
dent of the Journey was an attack by
brigands.

GARY TAX
LEVY GETS
REDUCTION
GARY's TAX LEVY.

The Gary common council last night
fixed the levy for 1912 at s1.26 which is
35 cents less than that of 1911. Reason
for this radical reduction is due to the
fact that the assessed valuation OF prop
erty in the steel city na.,. IN a years
time, leaped from a little more than
thirteen million to nineteen and one
third million dollars or increase OF
more than six million dollars.
Reduction Is a Surprise.
No doubt the reduction will come as a
surprise as a levy of at least $50 was
expected.
