Western Colorado Teachers:

The Western Division of the Colo.
RADIO Education Association will meet
in Grand Junction October 20, ~, ana
81. The program offers a wide range
of most excellent material for the
teachers of Western Colorado, ana
Grand Junction will do all in her pow
er to make the meeting pleasant one
to every teacher who attends.
Professionally and socially the AS
sociation this year will be better than
any annual session in the past. This
year more than any other presents
its own peculiar and far reaching
problems. American problems which
relate directly to the future destiny OF
the American people must be solved
by the educational forces Of our ma
tion, and the public school teachers are
responsibly connected with the train
ing of the rising generation in a new
era where competition will be keener
and more severe than it has been in
the past.
1t is vitally important that every
teacher in Western Colorado should
attend the meeting this year and take
an interest in making it the great
success it should be. 1t is just as
essential that each teacher should be
present to receive the inspiration and
help that the meeting can give.

Goats, like sheep again, require
good dry housing and clean feed
fed in managers. They will not
eat soiled clover or alfalfa. A
pint of oats and bran at milking
time with one.half pint of cracked
corn is about the feed required.
Young does should not be bred
until 10 months old. Still l have
had does bred accidentally when
quite young and have had some
of these to give four quarts of
milk a day after their second
kidding. Such early breeding,
however, is not desirable, for it

Goats are practically immune from tuberculosis,
and their milk most beneficial for infants and invalids.
Owing 10 the very small butter'fat globules in goats
milk, i. digests three times more quickly than that of
cows. Many persons who cannot digest cows milk can
readily digest the milk of goats. Says DR.. Voelcker.
analyst to the Royal Agricultural Society of England:
The cream globules in goats milk are smaller
than in cows milk and, as the milk is more concentrat
ed than cows milk, the cream %globules are contained in
q more perfect state of emulsion than in cows milk, in
consequence of which hardly any cream rises to the
surface on allowing goats milk to stand for II hours or
longer. 1t is this quality of goats milk that explains
the fact that it is more easily digested by young child,
rem than cows milk"

land, but only a comparatively
few that are really high class.
They are described briefly as
follows:
The Toggenburg, which is
termed the aristocrat of the goat
family, is very uniform in color
markings, ranging from light to
dark chocolate. 1t has four
white legs up to the knees, is
white under the belly, with a
white stripe down each side OF
the face. The Toggenburgs are
usually born hornless, are very
docile, and excellent mixers,
producing from two to seven
quarts of milk a day, depending
on the size of the goat and the
kind of feed and general care
given.

it's train of admirers
The Schwarzburg Guggisberg
goats are great mixers, but not
uniform in color markings; hence
a herd of these would look like
a mixed lot and not as attractive
as a herd uniformly marked.
There is also a breed coming
from Abyssinia and proximity.
This is 'the Nubian orAbyssinian
This also is q great milk.produc.
ing breed, but so tender that
the animals cannot stand our
rigorous climate: The Anglo.
Nubian, a cross of the Nubian on
the hardy English goat, has been
bred up until it rivals the Nubian
in milk production and also in
the lack Of Odor in the buck,
which is characteristic of all the
bucks of every breed except the
Nubian. The Nnbian buck how.
ever. has no more odor than a
mink or a horse. However, the
Anglo Nubian being a cross.bred
animal, like the Schwarzburg.
Guggisberg, lacks uniformity of
color markings and hence does
not appeal to the fancier, al.
