TO FEATURE COATS At FAIR
Milk Goat Department VIII Be En-
Iarged This Year.

The milk goat department, born last
year, will be a feature of the Kansas
Free Fair to be held in Topeka Sep
tember IL to II, again this year.
Because goats milk is palatable and
no1lrishing and because the animals
can be kept on a small lot, steps are
being taken to encourage all those
who can do so to own a milk goat.
The department last year was very
successful and substantial, premiums
are offered the winner this fall. F. H.
Durant, 1151 Mulvane street, is super
intendent of the department. Entries
close August 80.
Aside from the food value of the
goat, the more or less leisurely in
clined will find in the animal a good
substitute for a lawn mower and a
rather easy solution of the garbage
problem.
