GOAT IS PROFITABLE
Animal Is Less Liable to Tuber-
cuIosis Than the Cow.
-Toggenburg and saanen Are Most
Popular, Although There Are
Great Variety Of Breeds-Need
Protection Against Rains.
tRx MRS. A. Joseph,

The goat because of its hardy nat
ure is less liable to tuberculosis than
the cow 1t utilities food better and
gives more milk considering its body
weight. They prefer billy ground and
do not do so we'll 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 glob-
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 founu In goats milk Is mostly due
to outside causes as the milk absorbs
fiavors quickly, Esre 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 mich goat should be MIXED
three times day
The two most popular goats are
the Toggenburg and Saanen, although
there are 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 it
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 now of milk.
1t is best to breed 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 Enclosure which is better
way than stalking them out. They
can be kept on the pasture much as
