1t may be found in the develop

RAISING MILK.
GOATS VIEWED
AS PROFITABLE
Fenwick Sees Potential In
dustry From His Ex-
pertinent Here

The raising of milk goats is
seen as a profitable business By
Frank Fenwick, who became in
terested in goats as hobby and
later learned that they have great
health value.
Telling of his experience, Mr..
Fenwick says that in January,
1882 he purchased four SCRUB
goats as a hobby. He raised sew
eral kids and disposed of them
as pets. He MIXED the goats and
fed the milk to his children. No
ticing Improvement in their con-
dition, he traded the scrub goats
and purchased two real milk
goats. These, he says, have been
MIXED for a long time and at the
present time he has five of the
finest milk goats in Western
North Carolina.
Milk goats, he says, are the
poor mans cow. Eight goats can
be fed at the cost of single cow
and they give from two to ten
quarts of milk daily. He says
that another advantage is that
cheese can be made from any
surplus milk and that the kids
may be eaten.
Milk, he says, is admitted to be
o balanced food and children can
digest goats milk in 20 minutes,
while cows milk requires two
hours. Goat milk is alkaline and
cows milk is acid. Goats milk Is
especially good for babies with
weak stomachs. =,
There are several breeds of
goats in the county, but ne does
not believe the bred to be impor-
tant. In his herd he has Toggen,,
burgs, Nubians, and Saanens, and
he intends to increase his herd by
raising more goats.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July
4, 1934.-Today the United
States of America celebrates
its 15Sth birthday.
And in the 1853 years that
have passed since that hot July
of 1776 when Americans took
their lives and fortunes in
their hands and told the world
they were cutting loose OH
their own, governments all
over the world have come and
gone.
Today, America, accustomed
to think of itself as a young
nation, finds its government
one of the oldest in the world.
England, whose Parliament
was first summoned in 1865,
has continued down the years
depending increasingly en- that
one ruling body-nearly $40
years. And Cor nearly 500
years before that she was CROP
ing toward representative gov
eminent.
So Britain gets the palm
for age. Little Liechtenstein,
which assumed its present
form in 1919, is one of the few
other governments that are
older than our republic.
OLD FORMS FALL
Old countries, yes, far older
than the United States. But
time has rung changes i'll them
all. China, often considered the
cradle of the race and the old
est civilization, became a re-
public only in 1912, and the
present Marking government
was established only in 1928.
Japan, ancient through her
dynasty is founded in 6oO
B. c., legend says,) saw TINS
power restored to the throne
only in 1868, when the Shotgun
power was overthrown. So the
present empire is really only a
youngster.
Time-tempered Greece her
self adopted a new constitution
in 1927, giving one of the ola.
est peoples one of the youngest
of governments. .

amounts to p new government
when Mussolini's Blackshirts

Our nearest neighbors are
both younger than We. Canada
received her present form Of
government by royal procla-
nation in 1867. And Mexico,
though she started off on her
own in 1857, has had innumer-
able revolutions, and got her
present constitution in 1917.
Practically all our neighbors
of South America won their
