The increased cost of milk would be a
good thing for the country if it should
lead people to keep goats. For some
reason goat’s milk has never been popu
lar in America, although in Europe, es
pecially in France, Italy and Switzer- j
land, it is much esteemed, particularly I
for babies. A goat can be kept at small
expense where it would be impossible to
keep a cow. Garden waste and roadside
browse will support it. A small shed
affords sufficient shelter. A goat is far
cleaner in its habits than a cow, and re
quires only such care as a child can give
it. Let us get goats.

American newspapers have overlooked
the deep significance that apparently

steel mills in Japan will cement the
friendship of relations between Japan
and the United States.
