The Poor Man's Cow.
That Milch Goats are a boon to
Humanity will be shown
by a World's Fair
Exhibit,
By W. C. McCarty.
The Goat is going to butt into
popular favor at the World's Fair,
The sheep and goats will be sepa
rated, and comparisons that may
be then made are sure to win for
the goat the high place that he
has merited for many centuries,
but which he had been debarred
from possessing because of a pop
ular but unfounded prejudice,
During the Universal Exposi
tion the animal that has roamed
over the ashheapsof Korry Patch,
eating labels from tomato cans
and paper from the bill-boards,
will come into his own. Hereto
fore hisonly glimpses of good so
ciety haye been gained when he
was presented by Mr. Westmore
land Place to his youthful son and
heir. Then after after a preca
rious existence, during which he
served as the motive power for an
unbreakble cart, he perhaps com
mitted the indiscretion peculiar to
goats of lowering his head and
colliding forcibly with the young
hopeful, and it was back to the
patch with his goatship,
The entire world will be drawn
upon to vindicate the goat, and to
show that he has been a much
maligned animal. Mr, George F,
Thompson, of the United States
Burcau of Animal Industry, an
authority on goats and other do
mestic animals, will tour Europe,
Asia and Africa, and import spe
cimens for the World's Fair goat
show that will demonstrate the
goats value in city and country,
Although the success that has
attended the breeding of Angora
goats in America had done much
to awaken the public to the goat's
real value, the publicis slow to
accept as true the claims that goat
breeders assert and prove. A few
years ago Angora goats were not
known outside of a few of the
United States in which - there are
not hundreds of them. The goat
thrives best on land that has here
tofore been considered valueless.
On the thickets of a mountain
side where the undergrowth is so
dens¢ that no other animal can
force an entrance the goat cats
hiy’ wéy. The brush and the
bramblé he devoures bodily. He
gnaws the bark from saplings as
high as he can reach, He passes
by the blue grass and clears the
land for ~ cultivation more
thoroughly than can the woodman
with his axe, He enriches the
ground, and if blue grass be in
diginous to the soil it springs up
spontaneously. When the thick
ets are gone the Angora goat
thrives on grass equally as well as
does sheep. .
The Angora goat's usefulness is
manifested in various ways, The
fleece, technically called **Mohair”
furnishes some of the best fabrics
known among ladies dress goods,
as well as plushes, robes, rugs,
ete. The flesh is exceedingly del
icate and nutritious and on the
market finds a ready sale as mut.

suspects it The flesh of the kid
is better than lamb. The milk,
thoug not abundant, contains
more albuman and casein, fat and
and sugar than does cows milk.
Their tanned skins are not suit
able for shoe leather, but good
work-gloves and morocco for book
bindings are largely made from
them. Their pelts make rugsand
robes of striking beauty and great
utility.
Mr. Thompson is tracing the
the origin of the Angora goat lo
cates his native habitation in Asia
Minor, He quotes the scriptures
to show the value put on the
goat'e fleece. Exodus xxxvi-14-
15. “And he made a curtain of
goat's hair for the tent over the
tabernacle; eleven curtains he
made then, The length of one
curtain. The eleven curtains were
of one size?” The thirty-fifth
chapter of Exodus reveals that
Moses commanded the children of
Israel to make offerings of goat's
hair among other things.
Mr. Thompson in his European
and Asia tour is seeking speci
mens of milch goats. His first
stop will be at the Island of Malta,
the little island in the Mediterran
ean sea on which the Apostle Paul
was shipwrecked. Mr. Thomp
son says that probably no country
has brought tne raising of fine
milch goats to the state of perfec
tion attained on this little island.
the population is about 200,000
and the people there rely almost
wholly on the goat. The average
yield of milk from a Malta goat is
between three and four quarts a
day, The Maltese goats are abcut
two feet six inches in height and
they often weigh one hundred
pounds, They are generally
white. Although there are many
red, brown, and black. Therc
are two varities of Maltese goats,
the long and short haired. The
hair of the former is often four to
six inches long. There is no re
cord ofa Maltese goat ever being
imported to America. :
The Toggenburger goat is im
ported from a valley 1n Switver
land of the same name. This
goat has been imported into
America and England and 1s reck
oned as the best milch goat for
these countries. . A Toggenburger
will yield about four quarts ‘of
milk a day. The Nubiad goat is
larger by half than the common
species. The breed is sensitive
to thecold, and in America and
England they require a warm goat
house or barn, and are never sent
to pasture when there is danger
of frost.
i There is no question as to the
;superiurity of goats milk as com
'pared with cows milk, says Mr,
|'l‘humpson. It lastes better, is
richer and is the ideal milk for the
infant and sick person. There is
one sanitarium that supplies its
patients with no other milk than
that it gets from a herd of goats.
In one castern city a charity or
,ganization acquired a number of
igo.'ns and when a child is reported
sick a goat is loaned to the family
% until such time as the goat's milk
is no longer necessary. The odor
that is reputed to attach to goat's
‘milk Mr, Thompson says is alto
