Missionary estimate, but can easily DC

The total importation Of goat skins
into The United states during the
year ending June 30th 1909. amounted
to 10404S,244 pounds, valued at $25,

and the skin. The flesh alone would
make it a profitable Industry for the
carcas of each animal would bring
from $1.00 to $3.50. Fats of all kinds
are high priced in all parts OF this
country There is a steady demand
for tallow at from T. to Il cents per
pound. At . years old fat goat will
weld from to ~ pounds Of cleaI
tailow. which will be worth from -

part of the goat Is the skin, worth
$1.25 to $50 an dthe constant trend
OF prices is upward There are buyers
OF goat skins wherever skins are to
