Getting Your Goat

Just now the phrase Getting your
goat" IS not slang, however apparent
may be the resemblance. 1t is rather
a subject for consideration by subur-
ban jewellers. in connection with the
milk situation Because of the high
cost of grain, and scarcity or labor.
some farmers are disposing of their
herds. and the constantly soaring
prices of milk and milk products are
a source of much anxiety, Growing
children need milk, but. under present
conditions many are unable to get it,
and when they are so fortunate. it is
often of so poor quality as to have
but little food value.
The Swiss mich goat is especially
adaptable TO small farms and suburb
an lots She is the. gentlest of ami
mails. and very intelligent-an ideal
pet for children doe will supply
enough milk To-. the average family.
While a diet Of tin cans is not especial
ly to be recommended. the goat re
quires but little in the way of expen-
sive food 1t will cat the lawn clippings
and table scraps. A wide range is not
necessary for its happiness, but it is
we'll to supply the back yard with an
exerciser to work off surplus energy.
Your goat win not only furnish rich
milk at low cost, but release consid
cradle amounts of money for Uncle
Sam, for it is foregone conclusion
that small savings will find their way
into War Savings Stamps BY getting
your goat, lessons of, kindness to ami
mails and thoughtfulness for their
care. playful companionship and ma
tritious food are provided for your
children, and the investment in War
Savings Stamps Of the money saved
will insure a snug nest-egg for then
when they arrive at. maturity.
BY getting your goat, you vii
put delicious milk and cheese up
on your table, roses upon the chill
dren's cheeks, and your purchases o
War Savings Stamps will help to pu
our country where it belongs, at tn,
head of the world.
