"The production of milk goats has for a great many years been an important feature of the live-stock industry in many European countries, but it has never secured a very strong foothold in the United States. In this country the goat has always been an animal of more or less ridicule, as the majority of the people do not realize the possibilities of certain breeds or types that have been bread for many years along definite lines. In continental Europe milk goats are largely used by families unable to keep a cow, and great benefit is derived from having fresh milk at had at a low cost. In those count ires the goat is often spoken of as the "poor man's cow." During the past several years considerable interest has been manifested in the milk-goat industry in this country. The fact that the goat will supply sufficient milk for the average family can be kept where it would be impossible to keep a cow is beginning to appeal to many people, especially those living in the small towns and suburbs of the large cities. The milk-goat industry is only in it infancy in America. This type of goat is adapted t our country, and the industry should become of greater importance every year."--Page 2.
