This fact re minds me of a farm bock in old York state, in Wayne County, where I, like Topsy, grew up. We had a farm which in those years long ago I never could tell just what it was intended for, but since that goat business has become widespread, it has occurred to me that 'twos goats that farmneeded. It was one of those out of door, rise-up-and-come-along-with-me sort of farms. As an in cline plane it had-few equals. It was as steep and npright-as a piano on the in stallment plan, and as perpendicular as a greased pole ats. picnic. It was im possible to improve it much.- About all that it hod on it in a good state of pre servation, upon which even u lien could not stick, was.it water shed. ' It was a sure thing goat pasture. Goats could climb and cluster on the peaks and pin nacles of that ranch and then chase themselvesup and down the Milky Way. I notice that you, Mr. -Editor, are ad vocating the sowing of prunes.
