Did You Ever Haue
A Goat For A Pet?

How would you like to be the
milk man." asks Mr.. N. C. Maris
in the Angora and Milk Goat Jour,
nal.
This is not 4 joke, but a serious
! question which is being put to
thousands of boys and girls in the
| schools of Portland and other cities
of Oregon just now, and, judging
by the response and general inter
| est, it loks as if Portlan and per
haps some of the other larger cities
will soon be dotted with scores Of
small diaries. Instead of being &C.
cupied by cows. these miniature
diaries will be filed with what you
might call west pocket editions" or
limitations OF that noble animal, all
doing their utmost to assist her In
meeting the great shortage Of milk
so essential to the welfare, not only
Of infants, children and invalids.
but of most adults as well.
Goats are intelligent, sensitive
and afectionate and make ideal
pets for children. They are respon-
sive to hind treatment and, like the
dairy COW, will give much better re-
turns at the pail II so treated. 1t
10 . splendid thing from habit and
character developing standpoint
for . child to associate with, and
have the care Of such an animal.
As they care for and learn to love
their goats We hope they will re-
member the thousands of destitute
children IN warridden, devastated
France and Belgium, who formerly
depended up on the gentle little
goat for their principal nourish-
ment and living, and will Be willing
and glad to donate q part Of the
profits from their little goat dairy
business 10 assist In restocking
that country with milk goats.

the pulp of the DURAN Is unques-

comes an extraordinary and disa-

some sea captains to forbid the
fruit being brought on board their
ships.

to 100 feet RICH, and carries its
fruit hanging on the larger branch:
