In tbe United State there ar at
preseut, It I estimated, about 2,000,000
goats. Nearly two-fifths of these are
Angoras. The rest are of various Im
ported breeds, cross-breed and mongrel
mixtures. Many American fsrmers
keep a few goats with their sheep, It
being a well-known fact that dogs
which are given to worrying sheep will
not so readily molest a flock containing
a goat or two.
The climate and aoll of most of tbe
States of the Uulon are well fitted for
the raising of goats, and as a goat costs
fur proper msliitensnc only about one
eighth as much as a cow and yields a
surprising number and amount of prod
ucts there Is little doubt that compe

would prov exceedingly remunerative.
The chief things to be remembered
In tbl connection re that good breeds
are esseutlal to success and that al
though tbe goat will thrive almost any
where and stand any amount of cold,
It does best on dry land and when
