Hands In Hamilton County.
Special to Republican.
Webster City, March 21-FeW coun-
ties in all Iowa can show larger real
estate transfer values for March than
Hamilton. County Recorder Hunt re-
ports that during the first seventeen
days of the month real estate transfers
here totalled $2,157,0OS. Using an Crdi-
nary basis of figuring. it is predicted
that the transfers Of property In Ham
ilton county for all the month Of March
will run up to 3s,0o0,0OO. The vast
ness of this sum may be realized by
figuring 1t in acres Figuring land at
1925 per acre, this sum would buy a.
900 acres, or more than an entire
township.

The goat because OF its hardy nat
ure Is less liable to tuberculosis than
the cow 1t utilizes food better and
gives more milk considering Its body
weight. They prefer hilly ground and
do not do SO well on low swampy
ground. They need protection against
cold rains and should be well housed.
Goats milk is thicker. richer and
sweeter than cows milk and makes
an excellent food for invalids and
babies. being more like mothers milk
than any other.
Although butter Is made from the
milk 1t takes longer to make 1t than
from cows milk because the fat gloo-
ules are smaller and will not rise
quickly.
1t makes excellent cheese. The
best known goats milk cheese is the
Roquefort. The odor which is so Of
ten found in goats milk is mostly due
to outside causes as the milk absorps
fiavors quickly. more SO even than
cows milk.
A goat should give two quarts OF
milk day to be profitable, but the
average is three quarts day. They
keep this up for six or seven months.
A good milch goat should be MIXED
three times a day.
The two most popular goats are
the Toggenburg and Saanen. although
there are a great variety OF breeds.
The Toggenburg Is the best mixer.
The color of its hair Is brown with
a white stripe down each side with
white feet. The Saanen Is white
Both breeds are supposed to be horn
less. but occasionally horns are
found on some.
When Just beginning the business 1t
Is best to buy goats four or five years
old as they will known how to take
care of their kids and will also be
broken to milk.
Goats produce milk after their first
kid but do not attain their greatest
milk capacity until their third year.
Beginners usually breed their goats
too young which not only stunts them
but reduces their flow of milk.
1t is best to breed a goat when she
is about year old. They produce
offspring twice year, but unless one
is breeding kids for market 1t is best
to breed but once year.
Goats need plenty of exercise in
some place were they can climb A
fence four feet high will keep goats
inside an inclosure which is better
way than stalking them out. They
can be kept on the pasture much as
