don, a graduate of the Purdue COL
lege of Agriculture, is superintendent
of the BeltsEille experimental farm,
the largest agricultural project of its
kind in the world.
The Beltsville herd of goats was
established in 1908 when the initial
attempts were made to cross thirty
common brush goats brought to
Washington from Alabama with pure
bred goats from Switzerland. The
breeding experiments have been con-
tinued until now most of the goats in
the government herd are at least
seven-eighths pure while some OF them
are 3132 purebred.
The national researches in goat
family improvement at Beltsville
demonstrate that native American
goats can be readily improved by in
termingling their blood lines with
those of the aristocratic milch goats
of foreign ancestry.
Unquestionably in the vicinity of
every large city in America today
there is attractive opportunities
awaiting the init,atiye and energy of
goat dairymen who will establish
profitable herds and embark III the
special goats milk business
In the latitude of Pescadaro. Calf,
is one Of the largest goat ranches in
the world. a project that maintains
5000 miich goats of all ages, sizes
and varieties. The management of
this ranch. appreciating the demand
for goats milk for infant and invalid
feeding in all parts of the United
States, several years ago established
and equipped the first goats milk
condensing and evaporating plant in
the world. All the goats milk pro-
duced on the ranch is now concen-
trated and canned in special contain
ers and distributed among retail
druggists in all sections Of America.
At present the output of the plant
each year represents the conversion
of more than one and one-half million
pounds of goats milk into a more
concentrated and marketable product.
Down in the highlands Of Virginia
below Roanoke lives an Episcopal
minister, d. Campbell Mayors, who
has established a most remarkable
milch goat farm. 1t so happens that
the clergyman is native of the Bar
bados Islands, where he first be-
came interested in the breeding and
raising Of mflch goats. When he
came to America, about fifteen years
ago, he brought number of his goats
with him. Originally he accepted a
charge in the neighborhood of War
renton, Va, but several years ago he
moved to southwestern Virginia,
where he has since been operating
his goat herd In a most unusual way.

butter made from goats milk is very
white and resembles lard i'll appear

ever, have proved irrefutably that O
good quality Of butter can be pro-
duced when the goat milk and cream
are properly handled.
The European cheeses made from
goats milk are numerous and are SO
popular that they are shipped in
large quantities to all the leading
dairy products markets of the world
In France goats milk cheese is
called cheveret or chevrotin; in Italy.

Coats milk cheese has a charac-
teristic and individual flavor all it's
own, although the products closely
resemble Limburger cheese. 1t is
made either entirely of goats milk,
or, better, with one-fourth or one
third of cows milk, as this. mixture
materially improves the quality OF the
product.
Latterly at q large New York city
hospital goats milk was supplied to
eighteen sick babies that were not
thriving on any other food that had
been tried. In seventeen of these
cases a satisfactory state of nutri-
tion was established through tho use
of the goats milk, the beneficial re-
suits in some instances being very
marked. With certain of these chill
dren the situation was regarded as
very serious previous to the addi-
tion of goats milk to their menus.

THIS matter of the management of
the government goat herd at
Beltsville has simmered down to
sort of a family affair with the Bran
dons. Miss Mary Brandon. a scienti-
fic assistant in the animal husbandry
division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, attends to the
Office work, the maintenance of milk
production and butterfat records and
other data connected with the expert
mental research with goats at Belts

chased for $40 to $50 apiece. The
cost of 10 cents a day to feed them
is under unfavorable conditions where
all the feed has to be purchased. On
the basis that such goats will pro-
duce 900 pounds of milk a year. which
can be marketed at 80 cents a quart
the gross income per animal will
aggregate about $157.50 or more than
three times the purchase price of the
doe.

THE mich goat is known popularity
as the poor mans cow" through
out continental Europe, where grass
and browse are abundant and where
goats can be maintained under condi-
tions which would be prohibitive to
cows. The general plan is for the
peasant family to keep two milch
goats, one animal to freshen in the
spring, the other in the fall Thus

sition is that the increased digesti-
bility of this fluid obtains from the
very uniform distribution of the fat
globules. Unlike cows milk, the
cream on goats milk will not rise
readily TO the top of the vessel or
container in which the milk is kept.
This results from the even distribu-
ton of fat particles throughout the
lacteal fluid.
Many chemical tests have demon
strated that the average fat content
of goats milk ranges from 80 to "A
per cent. Relatively speaking, there
is no marked difference between the
milk of the goat and that of the COW
except the more uniform distribution
of the fat particles in the former
fluid. Goats milk is eminently suit
able for practically all the purposes
to which cows milk is put except for
making butter.

pounds OF hay and two to three
pounds of grain daily. During the
grazing season grass and browse
supplant the hay in the goat bill-of-
fare. Mich goats really like good
browse, including lots Of tender green
twigs and branches, better than they
do the best bluegrass pasture. In To-
calities where an abundance of good
browse is available the annual main
tenance charges of the goat herd are
materially reduced.
On the majority of municipal mar
kets where goats milk is available
its price is double that of the best
cows milk. 1t ordinary milk sells
for 16 cents a quart, goats milk
usually brings 80 or 80 cents a quart.
In New York city goats milk has
sold for as much as so cents a quart.
1t is easy to see how attractive
profits may accrue to the goat dairy
man who will maintain a good pro-
ducing herd.

her. "Chickie girl, you wouldn't

She didn't tell him it was for

She closed her eyes hard.

setting out the dainty blue dishes
in the cosy breakfast nook it was
Chiclie. Instead of Edward
whistling through the hail, it was
some one tall, with black hair
straight across his forehead not
Jimmy, OF course-but some one
full of grins and big like Jimmy
was. Dreaming this, her step hur-
ried, grew light. She laughed,
glancing about warily lest some
one perceive the shy, bright ex-
uberance wherein she walked.
In the beginning nothing mar
red this picture. When the four
of them went out together, people
looked at them, because they
laughed with such careless glee.

Hungary Trains Boy Scouts.
Good boy scouts make good fasc-
isti. Hungary has learned that les
son, and that's why in Hungary you
will find highly developed boy scout
roovement.
A traveller thru that country sends
the news that he saw some of the
best types Of boy scouts in the land
of Horthy. Not content with having
washed their hands in the blood of
the Hungarian Communists, the
white guard, monarchist leaders in
that Inflated land are training their
youngsters to be the murderers of
any future attempts on the part OF
the workers.
Would you be surprised to learn
that the Hungarian boy scouts are
the image of their American broth
ers? Even their creed is formulated
on the same principles" Boy scouts
the world over are merely army kim
dergartens. In the lands of the open
reactionary anti-working class (fasc-
ist) rule. the boy scouts are kinder
gartens Of murder and destruction.
There is no mathematical problem
involved in the question: How far
is it from boy scout to a white
guard? It's matter of command.
obedience" the central theme of
the boy scout creed, covers a multi
tude of sins.
What is most heart-rending, tho,
is to see some good. honest trade
unionists encourage these organiza-
tons. It's like taking lions cub
for pet, thinking you were bringing
up an Angora cat.
Every worker who permits his kids
to 3oiu the boy scouts can blame him
self when this same kid labs bayo-
net into the ribs OF some STRIKING leI-
low worker, or burns down some
trade union hall.
Why uniform on the boy scouts?
Why drill? Why unquestioning
obedience and blind patriotism to a
Daugherty Injunction government?
Why such liberal contributions from
the bosses to the boy scouts? Ask
yourself these questions, worker.
