You'd Hardly Think the Two Wr go latod, but They Are. , Everybody knows something about Insurance. Almost everybody carries some life, accident. Are, fidelity, plate glass. pnrtnersLilp, - burglary, niarlno or what not and many occasionally find the payment of the reRUlarly re curring premiums a heavy tax. bow ever greatly they may appreciate the advantages- of holding tbe policies Everybody .""'known' . something about goats, but fpw . woniri tblnlr of asso ciating goatM with 'Insurance or of ac quiring gonts with a view to reducing the niiiount of their premiums. Vet a lui'ge contriit'tlnK Qrui In Kansas City keeps u. herd of Angora goats for that very purpose. i : The compuiiy's yards ' cover : (nany acres of ground, unci the buildings and other' equipment thereon represent an Investment ' of sevoral hundred thou sand dollars. . , When the yards were first established the .weeds and other vegetation on the property were con stdered by the underwriters to be dou- gerous tire: hazards, so mucb so that the rates charged ' were . almost pro hibitive. It was agreed.; however, that if the weeds were kept down - the premiums would be greatly reduced. But the cost of mowing the weeds and cutting down the undergrowth would have been In Itself no Jncon slderable Item In the yearly budget. The company accordingly bought flock of Angora goats and turned them loose In' the extrahazardous yards. The goats now keep the yards cropped as close as a mowed lawn and not only save the firm a large amount an nually In fire insurance premiums, but thrive so well on the objectionable Vegetation and multiply so abundantly that they have actually returned a con slderable profit on tbe amount of the company's capital that their purchase represents.
