The Old Manhattan Goat.

The city Health Department nd.
vises increased use Of the milk Of
goats az food for infants. II is set
forth that among other virtues ID
has freedom from tuberculosis germs,
rs the goat belongs TO n Of the few
species Of animals which are immune
to that disease.
II would have been easier In the
earlier years Of the city to take adj
vantage NJ this advice than it Is now.
Not more than forty years ago the
northern sky line Vt Manhattan Island
above Fifty-ninth street was dotted
with goats. Billy goats stood at dusk
on the crags that have given place
TO blocks Of apartment houses, and
while the evening breezps blew
through their whiskers looked down
upon the %twinkling gas lights Of what
was then upper New York. Back Of
them were more rocks and more goats
until the Harlem valley was reached.
and beyond that were more goats and
more rocks clear up Ia Spuyten Duy-
VII Greek. The city was bounded by
the shores Of Manhattan Island.
The caprid recession toward the
north was m index Of tho growth Of
the town from the time when the
goats came down to welcome the
earliest settlers until almost the last
CONT had been crowded of Manhat.
tan Island and the greater city was
formed. The goat. although the 10
diucnl sign Capricornus is next I q
ANuarius. Is in nc way aquatic. As
the city grow toward the north he
had to retreat IN that direction or
swim either the East River or the
Hudson. He retreatod. not prccipi-
lately. but Just fast enough 10 escape
the flying fragments NJ rock from the
advancing city's firing line Of blasts.
Where are the goats Of Manhattan
I>land-of old New York-now? Are
they living in their progeny in The
Bronx. In Brooklyn and IN Queens?
Are they marking in those boroughs
the growth Of the greater city ms they
marked that of the old town? II so
they are doing II in q less picturesque
way than when from the crags of
Manhattan they heard the roar Of
dynamite aud saw the rocky heights
melt away.
There IL no scarcity Of goats In the
outskirts of the ~borou;hs mentioned.
In The Bronx there are a few that
seem to have Inherited love of the
rock climbing freedom that they en-
Joy. In Brooklyn and Queens are no
lofty sky lines on which they can
pose, and they are seen mostly teth-
cred to stakes and browsing on grasses
and weeds. This feed may increase
the quantity Of milk they give. but
It's quality probably does not surpass
that which was given by those of the
Manhattan rocks, which found differ
ent pickings.
The appetite Of the goat has been
slandered in comparing II with
that of the ostrich. which has been
said to eat everything but food. The
nanny goat has her W economical
way of finding nutriment that enables
her TO give milk that the New York

Valdez daily prospector., 1915-10-12

six years past the public here has, with ample coal at it's doors: been forced to buy coal from Japan and British. Columbia at .exorbitant rates, while eastern coal is sold tosDenmank and European countries. By these means the north can not become a competitor of the east in the al markets of the world.
 But it is idle to invefgh against the mingled cupidity and stupidity of the educated. idiots in,. control. at Washington, who at long range feel it duty to rob the west and Alaska and to retard our development for several decades until the eastern cap- italists can come out and gobble up our resources, They know no more about our conditions here than they know of the God they pray for bless ings from.
 But they continue to pray to God and prey upon the pioneer.-Cordova Daily Times.
