DR. u w. Payns,of Epwerth, Crssn-,
wood county milk goat breeder; has
just received by express, ten very fine
prue bred registered Swiss Toggen-
burg milk goats from one of the most
prominent breeders in California, the
state in. which two-thirds Of all the
milk goats in America are found
These goats are from some of the best
stock OF America, some, of them be.

animals and related to q part Of the
famous herd Of 72 head bought last
spring by group Of Chicago million.
aires'for $24 ,945.o0. DR.. Payne values
this lot OF does at from $1,50O.0O to
$2,000.00 and the express charges or
them from Sun Francisco were
$4,000. They were in transit seven
or eight days, but seemed to be in
splendid condition after such a long
journey. This shipment with what he
already had on hand. makes the
Greenwood county breeders herd the
finest and largest herd Of pure bred
registered Swiss Toggenburgs south
east. Of the Rocky Mountains, it is be-
ieped.
DE-. Payne has done much to intro
duce. these valuable animals in this
section OF, the country where they have
been 80 little known and as a result,
the masses are being educated as to
the, real value Of their milk as an
ideal food for badies, invalids, conva-
lescents,, old people who are ill nour-
\ ished, tubercular and pellagra pa
tents, as well as those who wish to
stay well. "This milk is the most
perfectly balanced easily digested and
assimilated food known is being far
richer in iron, calcium, phosphates and
vitamines. than that Of the cow" DR..
Payne says, "and one Of the most i'm
portant features to be considered is,
the fact that the Swiss milk goat is
the cleanest and healthiest domestic
animal in the world and immune from
tie dreaded disease, tuberculosis.
They are Thoroughly domesticated
very affectionate, fond Of children,
make the incest kind Of pets; and can
be kept on city or village lot to sup
ply family with this superior milk
at very nominal COST" declares DR..
Payne, "and while the price may at
first seem prohibitive, after one owns
one awhile and becomes thoroughly
ettached to her and knows the real
value Of her milk, the price doesn't
seem to be bad after ALL" He and his
family use the milk altogether in
preferences to cows milk, and he states
that his goats would be priceless if he
could not buy any more, az he never
expects to'be without real milk goat
as long as he lives.
He expects an exceptionally fine
crop Of spring kids from his herd. He
is also flooded with calls for stock
from peopiotiH ali neighboring states
as well as few from the Northwest
While DR.. Payne at first intended to
breed purebred only, he is now pre-,
pairing to raise grades to supply the
demand for utility stock at moderate
prices.
Visitors are a'ways welcome at Dr.
Payne's goat farm, which is located
!: about ten miles south of Greenwood,
and he takes pleasure in showing his
herd, as we'll as answering any ques.
tions one may ask concerning it.
