chance to eat when one of the other
two paused for breath.
More male kids are born than

OF when very young, it shocked us
little to find that they are often
killed when only few days old :
the meat then tastes like rabbit
and the fur is soft kidskin coats.
If kept little longer the meat is
much like venison from then on
just goat.
We sat on the hillside facing Mr..
Strong's mountain, which is much
nearer and seems much larger
then when we view it from lay
louisville and we learned about
goats. We asked, SIS it true that
they eat anything and every
thing?" and were told on the con-
trary goats are very fastidious :
they will not drink after even a.
cat. They do browse on things a
COW or horse will not eat daises,
poison oak and ivy, honeysuckle,
1.-THE botanical name of which
means goat leaf'') and they espe-
cially love rose leaves and orange
peel. According to Mrs. Hargate
one can keep 6 to 8 goats on the
ration required for one COW.
At "Sticks and Stones" they do
not keep doe that averages less
than five or six quarts of milk a
day, for which they get sixty cents
per quart retail. Hospitals buy
goat milk for patients recovering
from operations and for babies who
are allergic to COW and human
milk; the Hargate milk as we
said before goes to the Zoo. Raw
goat milk tastes like homogenized,
pastuerized cow milk, and comes
complete with the sunshine vita
min D, for goats absorb ultravio-
let rays.
Here are other claims Mrs. Har-
gate makes for the milk: Goats
are free from tuberculosis, more
over their milk contains capric
acid" which is an aid to the cure
of T. B.; the goats eat poison ivy
and drinking the milk makes one
immune to the poison; there were
other things we cannot recall. in
deed we mentally threw away our
apple and decided to get a goat
to keep the doctor away.

Yherd name the call the bells :
about the dogs and the cats and a
little more about the Hargates
themselves so how about finish
