THE  ANNUAL  SOJOURN 

As  there  are  so  manv  members  of 
our  AsTOc'ations  who  have  shown 
considerable  interest  in  our  trio  to  the 
Chicago  A.  iM.  G.  R.  A.  meeting-  that 
I  will  again  endeavor,  as  I  did  last 
year,  to  submit  our  itinerary.  As  all 
know,  our  trip  came  at  a  time  when 
the  elements  had  no  regard  for  trav- 
elers. 

Frank  McGauley  and  I  started  amid 
ice,  sleet  and  snow  with  the  ther- 
mometer hovering  around  the  frigid 
point  to  attend  the  A.  M.  iG.  R.  A. 
Annual  IMeet:ng.  We  travelled  cau- 
tiously over  the  ice-covered  roads  and 
at  10  P.  M.  arrived  at  Tonawanda, 
Penna.  Here  we  put  up  for  a  wel- 
comed night's  sleep.  Our  second  night 
found  us  in  Ohio,  where  we  again 
were  able  to  get  a  few  hours  rest. 
Like  all  trips,  we  had  an  incident  to 
rert.ember  of  our  trip  for  early  Sun- 
day morning  Frank  discovered  that 
althoug-h  we  were  here  in  Ohio,  his 
overcoat  was  not — he  had  left  it  in 
Tonawanda.  However,  we  decided  it 
was  too  late  to  go  bade  to  Tonawanda 
as  we  were  determined  to  be  on  hand 
for  the  meeting  on  schedule. 


We  arrived  about  4  P.  M.  at  the 
Hotel  Stevens,  met  other  members  in 
the  lobby,  after  which  we  found  we 
had  very  comfortable  accommodations 
and  made  use  of  them  to  rest  our 
selves  before  meeting  Ray  Kirby  of 
Texas,  who  invited  us  to  his  quarters, 
there  meeting  some  old  friends,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Homer  Vigal,  of  Springfield. 
111.,  owners  of  an  outstanding  herd  of 
goats  which  they  desire  to  dispose  of 
since  their  farm  has  'been  sold  and 
they  are  now  living  in  the  city,  were 
among  those  present.  They  have  won 
more  than  500  ribbons  and  prizes  and 
are  known  from  coast  to  coast.  Mr. 
Vigal  has  judged  many  times  at  large 
fairs.  Mrs.  Vigal,  herself,  is  an  au- 
thoiity  on  goats.  It  is  regrettable 
they  are  leaving  the  goat  blsiness  at 
this  time,  and  I  sincerely  hope  they 
will  return  to  the  fold  in  the  near 
future  with   an  even  larger  herd. 

As  we  have  stated  in  the  past,  we 
would  like  to  have  the  Annual  Meet- 
ing spread  out  to  other  territories.  In 
this  respect  we  are  glad  to  report  that 
during  the  course  of  the  evening  Mr. 
Kirby  presented  us  with  a  petition, 
already  signed  by  30  members  of  the

A.  M.  G.  R.  A.  in  good  standing,  to 
have  the  Annual  Meeting  transferred 
to  California  ne.xt  year.  ^Inasmuch  as 
Frank  McGauley  had  last  year  sug- 
gested that  the  meeting  be  moved  to 
Ohio  or  New  York,  he  was  asked  to 
present  the  petition.  He  did  so  at 
the  Tuesday  meeting. 

On  Monday  morning  the  directors 
held  a  meeting.  Mr.  Walton  and  I, 
under  the  able  guidance  of  Miss 
Marsh,  spent  a  large  part  of  the  dav 
checking  paid-up  memberships  and 
proxies.  Ac  noon  we  had  lunch  with 
iMr.  TeWalt  and  later  were  among 
tne  guests  of  Dr.  Burnett  at  d.nner. 
held  in  the  main  dining  room  of  the 
Stevens  Hotel.  The  doctor  proved  a 
most  gracious  host  and  treated  us 
royally.  After  dinner  we  were  visited 
by  many  friends,  which  rounded  out 
the   day. 

At  10  A.  M.  Tuesday,  we  found 
out  selves  sitting  in  on  the  business 
meeting.  Several  recommendations 
were  suggested  and  discussed,  some 
of  which  were  put  into  motions.  To 
our  viewpoint,  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant was  the  suggestion  of  movino- 
the  meeting  to  be  held  in  Cali- 
fornia. At  this  point  Frank  McGauley 
discussed  at  length  on  this  subject 
and  Ray  Kirby  put  forth  a  motion. 

After  a  long  discussion  it  finally 
ended  b"  being  decided  that  ne.xt  year 
it  will  be  put  on  the  ballot  for  tne 
membership  to  definitely  give  their 
decision. 

Another  motion  was  made  to  re- 
duce the  membership  dues  to  $1.00. 
whi^h,  after  many  pros  and  cons  was 
lost.  Frank  McGauley  oft'ered  a  com- 
promise motion  to  have  it  read  $1.50. 
This  was  passed  and  you  now  have  an 
organization  which  is  working  very 
hard  toward  the  uplift  of  the  goat.  A 
committee  was  formed  to  draw  un  a 
new  set  of  standards.  It  was  also 
suggested  that  each  State  should  ap- 
point a  delegate  to  sit  in  with  the 
board  of  directors,  each  delegate  be- 
ing an  A.  ,M.  G.  R.  A.  member,  with

WESTERN    NEWS 

The  Christmas  Party  of  Western 
Group  was  a  grand  success.  We  must 
admit  the  ladies  can  cook  and  there 
was  plenty  to  eat.  We  enjoyed  our 
meal  by  candlelight,  part  of  the  dec- 
orative scheme  of  the  Sherwoods  who 
exercised  their  talent  on  this  phase  of 
the  affair.  'Our  many  thanks  to  them 
and  to  Mrs.  Strahan  and  Mr.  Williams 
for  their  work  on  the  food  and  gen- 
eral arrangements. 

The  December  meeting  was  also  an- 
nual election  night.  The  retiring  offi- 
cers were  given  three  rising  cheers 
for  their  accomplishments  during  tne 
year.  The  following  slate  of  officers 
elected  for  1941  will  have  to  do  some 
hard  work  to  mabch  their  record: 
Pres. — ^Mr.  A.  G.  Miller;  Vice-Pres. — 
Anne  Siierwood;  Treas. — ^Willard  Mc- 
Kinstry;  Recording  Sec. — Mrs.  T.  B. 
Strahan;  Corr.  Sec. — Henry  Burrows; 
Delegates  to  State  Council — ^Langdon 
Kellogg  and  Ed.  Williams;  Direc- 
tors— Wm.  Holmes  and  Ted  Strahan. 

Anne  Sherwood  sprung  the  siir- 
prise  of  the  evening.  She  has  donated 
to  the  Association  a  silver  trophy  to 
be  awarded  to  the  best  animal  show- 
ing at  the  June  goat  show.  Members 
of  the  W.  M.  O.  G.  B.  A.  are  only  elig- 
able  to  receive  the  trophy.  It  is  to  be 
competed  for  annually.  This  is  a 
thoughtful  contribution  and  should  be 
an  added  feature  of  our  June  show. 


GOAT  ATTAINS  DIGNITY 

The  goat  has  long  been  a  lowly, 
comite  figure.  As  a  consumer  of  tin 
cans,  it  is  pictured  often  with  a 
shantytown  rubbish  heap  in  the  back- 
ground. But  a  change  is  coming. 
Nanny  and  Billy  are  stepping  out. 
The  Massachusetts  Department  of 
Agriculture  in  its  annual  report  rec- 
ognizes them  with  more  than  passing 
reference. 

The  department  tells  of  deep  in- 
terest in  goat  breeding  in  Massachu- 
setts and  how  nroduction  has  in- 
creased over  former  years.  "The  Milk 
goat,"  says  the  report,  "will  unques- 
tionably continue  an  important  do- 
mestic animal  in  Massachusetts. 

The  department's  discussion  goes 
further,  and  here  is  where  the  laugh 
is  no  longer  on  the  goat.  The  state's 
officials  give  goat  milk  and  the  dairies 
producing  it  an  important  rating  equal 
to  that  of  cows.  So  much  so  that 
they  have  asked  all  those  engaged  in 
the  handling  of  goat  milk  to  consider 
something  not  now  existent — appro- 
priate legislation  for  enactment  by 
the  General  Court  for  sanitation  and 
protection  of  the  supply.  Soon  may 
the  frisky  goat  have  the  law  on  its 
side.

the  I'.'ght  to  discuss  but  with  no  vot- 
ing privilege.  Any  kid  can  now  be 
registered  up  to  one  year  of  age  for 
50  cents.  It  was  also  decided  to 
change  the  date  of  the  Annual  Meet- 
ing to  the  first  Monday  following 
tne  15th  of  September.  This  cnange 
o:  time  should  diaw  many  more 
1.  embers  to  the  meting.  i 

In  the  afternoon  two  prominent 
veterinarians  spoke  to  the  enjoyment 
oi  us  al..  In  the  evening,  parties 
were  enjcyed  in  all  parts  of  the 
Hotel  and  our  bedtime  was  extended 
to  the  small  hours  of  the  morning.      I 

The    only    regrettable    part    of    our  j 
trip     was     that     weather     conditions 
made    it    impossible    for    visitations 
which    we    had    planned    and    looked 
forward    to    making.        Rememberin"  I 
the  spirit  of  good-will  and  friendship  i 
with    which    we    were    greeted    last  I 
year  we  had  hoped  to  revisit  on  th.s  j 
trip,   and    thereby    show   we   appreci- 1 
ated  and  did  not  forget  the  hospital- 
ii-ies  afforded  us  in   1939.  I 

Wednesday     found     us     homeward 
bound.  We  had  an  important  stop  to 
make  at  Tonawanda,  Penna.  You  will  ■, 
lecall  Frank  left  his   overcoat  there. 
We  retrieved  the  coat  and  continued ' 
on  our  way.     We  ari-ived  at  Frank's  I 
home   town   of   Leicester   about  noon 
on  Friday,  and  before  saying  good-by  i 
spent    considerable    time    recounting  I 
our    experiences    and    ended    up    bv 
making  plans  for  our  trip  to  the  next 
annual  meeting  which  will  be  held  in 
September  at  Chicago,  111.     The  Sep- 
tember weather  should  eliminate  our 
overcoat  worries  and  we  are  looking 
forward  to  the  time  of  its  arrival. 


ESSEX  NEWS  ITEMS 

We  were  fortunate  in  having  as 
guest  speaker  at  the  December  meet- 
ing. Ralph  Donaldson  of  the  Mass. 
State  College:  Mr.  Donaldson  spoke 
on  "'Forage  Crops".  The  question  of 
growing  at  least  a  part  of  the  crops 
nece£:sary  to  feed  our  goats  is  one  of 
increas  ng  importance;  and  the  sub- 
sequent question  of  which  crops  can 
le  grown  most  economically  follows 
closely.  We  were  therefore  much  in- 
terested in  the  facts  and  figures  which 
Mr.  Donaldson  presented  as  well  as 
the  pictures  which  he  showed  to  illus- 
trate his  talk.

The  program  committee  has  sub- 
mitted the  following  tentative  pro- 
gram for  the  coming  meetings  of  the 
year,  speakers  to  be  announced  later. 
January,  New  Year's  Party:  Feb-

March,  Annual  meeting  and  "Haver- 
hill Night":  April,  Wirthmore  Night: 
May,  "Mastitis":  June,  Middlesex 
University  Night.  For  the  annual 
tanquet  to  be  held  probably  in  April, 
the  committe  is  planning  something 
extra  special  for  entertainment  Just 
wait  till  you  hear  it! 

Then,  of  course,  there  will  be  the 
Kid  Show,  maybe  the  last  of  June  or 
the  first  of  July;  we  can't  announce 
the  date  yet. 

And — last  but  not  least — don't  for- 
get Topsfield  Fair  in  September. 


The  Linebrook  Herd  starts  the  kid- 
ding season  early  in  January.  Miss 
Wales  used  the  Antuitrin  S.  treatment 
quite  successfully  and  feels  that  with- 
out it,  freshening  dates  would  be 
much  later. 


Chikaming  Chloe  Patrice  No.  54922, 
a  first  freshener  Toggenburg  doe  that 
has  just  completed  her  A.  R.  require- 
ments in  the  herd  of  Mrs.  Carl  Sand- 
burg, has  been  added  to  the  Bay

SOUND    PROFITS 

WJien  you  can  see,  and  feel  a  profit — and  hear  it  jingle — you  know  you 
really  have  it. 

With  goats,  as  with  other  dairy  animals,  feeds  and  feeding  play  an  im- 
portant part  in  profit-making. 

When  the  feed  may  safely  be  used  in  quantities  necessary  to  support 
high  production — when  it  continues  to  maintain  the  condition  of  the 
animals — then  vou  have  a  profitable  ration.

SOUTHEASTERN 

At  the  Southeastern  Massachusetts 
Association  meeting  on  December  1, 
the  q"estion  was  raised  as  to  what 
could  be  of  more  interest  to  breeders 
than  means  for  improving  their  stock. 
It  was  stated  that  the  key  to  this 
lies  with  the  buck  at  stud,  who  by  his 
transmitting  power  raises  the  Quality 
or  qualities  of  his  kids  above  that  of 
their  mothers. 

Unfortunately  there  is  almost  no 
cata  on  what  our  busks  will  do  in  this 
ie;pect.  as  one  member  who  is  trying 
to  pick  backs  to  breed  his  does  to, 
pointed  out,  except  possibly  descent 
11  om  some  exceptional  doe  who  her- 
self might  be  a  freak  and  not  have 
transmitting  power.  The  value  of  a 
bu;k  is  gauged  more  by  an  average  of 
his  ancestors,  but  in  the  final  analysis 
depends  on  an  average  yield  of  his 
kids  compared  with  their  dams.  Only 
one  advertisement  was  found  that 
made  more  than  a  cursory  attempt  to 
give  the  heredity  of  the  buck  offered. 

The  Chair  pointed  out  that  it  would 
be  necessary  to  make  it  worth  while 
to  buck  owners  to  o-ather  and  use  any 
such  data,  and  it  was  suggested  that 
the  State  Council  or  some  such  body 
could  receive  this  and  compute  a  rat- 
ing for  the  buck,  which  the  owner 
could  use  in  his  advertising.  Data 
would  neiessarily  he  scant  at  first,  and 
not  too  accurate,  but  now  we  liave 
none  at  all. 

The  Chair  appointed  a  mathemat- 
ically-minded member  to  v.'ork  out  and 
submit  a  possible  form  to  be  used  by 
tuck  owners,  which  would  include  as 
many  of  the  important  characteristics 
as  possible  that  are  of  interest  in 
breeding.  This  member  had  incau- 
tiously stated  that  a  program  of  this 
kind  would  merit  a  fair  amount  of  his 
time.

uled to  be  Mr.  Ewell,  a  B-K  renre- 
sentative.  In  these  days  of  colds, 
grippe,  flu,  etc.,  the  question  of  sani- 
tation is  extremely  important,  especi- 
ally in  the  handling  of  milk  and  its 
products.  We  understand  that  Mr. 
Ewell  is  a  very  entertaining  speaker 
and  that  the  question  of  sanitation 
can  consist  of  something  more  than 
charts,  figures  and  prosaic  facts.  We 
invite  the  public  to  be  with  us  on 
February  14.

(Continued    from    Page    One) 

12:01  with  the  President,  Duncan  Gil- 
lies ii  the  chair. 

The  delegates  and  alternates  for 
1941,  who  were  present  and  voting 
v/ere  as  follows:  Centrail — Mr.  Hagberg 
and  Mr.  Gillies;  Connecticut  Valley —

The  subject  of  the  standard  glass 
goat  milk  bottle  was  discussed.  Mr. 
Bennett  reported  that  pyroglazed 
glass  bottles  could  be  purchased  for 
$10.75  a  gross  in  5  gross  lots.  This 
price  includes  $3.25,  the  cost  of  a  1 
color  pyroglazed  plate.  ;  After  *he 
first  5  gross  order,  there  is  no  plate 
charge  and  the  price  is  $3.25  cheaper 
per  gross,  or  $7.50.  A  motion  by  Mr. 
Miller  seconded  by  Mr.  Blackhall 
was  carried  that  the  delegates  take 
back  this  information  to  their  asso- 
ciations and  that  they  report  any  re- 
commendations on  the  matter  to  the 
Council    Secretary. 


Mr.  Cu'lington  spoke  on  the  status 
of  the  New  England  Goat  News 
from  the  standpoint  of  the  editor. 
Mr.  B'ackhall  also  spoke  in  behalf  of 
the  News  and  urged  more  support. 
Delegates  cf  six  of  the  associated 
members  of  the  Council  voted  con- 
tinued support  of  the  News — Central, 
Connecticut  iValley,  Essex,  Ply- 
mouth-Bristol, Southeasitern  '  and 
Western.  Middlesex  had  previously 
withdrawn   its    support. 

Mr.  Kellogg  spoke  on  the  work  of 
Western  with  4-H  Clubs;  also  on  co- 
operation with  the  Eastern  States 
Exposition  next  fall.  He  suggested 
that  delegates  talk  the  matter  over 
■at  their  meetings  and  report  any 
opinions  at  the  next  meeting  of  the 
Council. 

On  a  motion  by  Mr.  Cullington 
seconded  by  Mr.  Bennett  it  was 
voted  to  elect  Mary  L.  Farley  to  be 
the  "director-delegate"  to  the 
American  Milk  Goat  Record  Asso- 
ciation. 

A  motion  by  Mr.  Bennett,  sec-

Respectfully   submitted, 

Harriett  H.  Campbell, 
Assistant  Secretary. 


The  afternoon  session,  with  about 
185  persons  attending,  was  called  to 
order  by  Allan  Blacknall,  who  intro- 
duced the  speakers.  Robert  H.  Camp- 
bell of  Topsifield,  Mass.,  a  well-known 
veteran  breeder  of  outstanding  ability, 
favored  us  with  a  fine  talk  on  "Con- 
ditioning Goats  for  the  Show." 

An  interesting  talk  on  "Forage 
Crops  for  Dairy  Goats"  by  Anthony 
Chace  of  Swansea,  Mass.,  followed. 
Mr.  Chace  is  heartily  in  favor  of  La- 
dino  Clover  for  pasture. 

Mrs.  H.  C.  Struven  delightfully  told 
about  the  start  and  the  growth  of  the 
"Evergreen  Herd  of  Alpines"  which 
she  is  managing  for  Mr.  Roy  Wilhelra 
in  North  Lovell,  Maine.  Mrs.  Stniven 
extended  Mr.  Wilhelm's  invitation  for 
anyone  to  call  at  the  camp  whenever 
in  their  vicinity. 

There  is  much  to  be  done  in  the 
matter  of  by-products  of  the  goat, 
according  to  Dr.  Marion  Baldwin  of 
Killingly,  Conn.,  who  was  the  next 
interesting  speaker. 

Dr.  OLeo  Weiss,  V.  iS.,  D.  V.  M.,  Di- 
rector of  Clinics,  Middlesex  Universi- 
ty, Waltham,  Mass.,  spoke  on  "Steril- 
ity", and  his  experience  with  Euro- 
pean goats. 

Dr.  Harris  W.  Hantman,  B.  S..  D. 
V.  M.,  who  is  also  connected  with 
Middlesex  University,  certainly  put 
forth  his  topic  "How  to  Keep  Your 
Goats  Healthy"  in  a  decidedb'  inter- 
esting manner.  Many  specimens  of 
preserved  diseased  parts  of  goats 
were  shown,  some  of  which  were 
passed  around  for  individual  inspec- 
tion. He  spoke  about  the  work  that 
is  being  done  at  tlie  University.  There 
was  some  time  allotted  to  questions 
which  Dr.  Hantman  gladly  answered. 
A  fine  turkey  supper  was  served 
at  the  Aurora  Hotel  after  which  Mr. 
Blackhalll  turned  the  meeting  over  to 
Duncan  Gillies  for  the  regular  meet- 
ing of  the  Central  Group. 

Lester  Tompkins,  our  stand-by  of 
the  Department  of  Agriculture,  intro- 
duced the  speaker  of  the  evening,  L. 
E.  Bober,  of  the  Babson  Company, 
Chicago,  111.,  the  subject  being 
"Mastitis  Control  and  Detection  in 
Milking  Animals." 

Then  to  top  off  a  more  or  less  seri- 
ous day,  the  Rev.  Harvey  Eastman

Mr.  Milton  L.  Tracy  of  Haverhill, 
Mass,,  passed  away  suddenly  at  his 
home,  December  29,  1940.  Mi-.  Tiacy 
was  a  member  of  the  Essex  County 
Milk  Goat  Breeders  Association  and 
the  members  will  long  miss  the  con- 
structive part  he  took  in  the  associa- 
tion. Our  deep  sympathy  goes  to  his 
wife  and  daughter,  Barbara. 


The  January  meeting  of  the  E.  C.

of  it.  We  look  forward  to  another 
meeting  of  entertainment  at  a  later 
date. 


The  "Topsfield  Fair  Goat  Commit-

have  the  cooperation  from  members 
and  officers  that  Essex  County  has  al- 
ways had;  and  may  the  goats  add  as 
much  to  Eastern  States  Ebcposition  as 
they  have  to  Topsfield  Fair.

The  Plymouth-Bristol  and  South-

held  a  joint  meeting:  on  Sunday  after- 
roon,  January  r2th,  in  Grand  Arm"

ivell  ifilled,  o 'er  50  being:  present.  All 
business  which  was  not  aibsolutely

plenty  of  time  might  be  given  the 
speaker.  Dr.  Harris  W.  Hantman  of 
Middlesex  University,  Waltham.  He 
talked  entirely  upon  the  subject  of 
goats,  and  gave  many  helpfml  sup'!?es- 
tions  as  to  their  care.  Dr.  Hantman 
encourao'ed  the  asking  of  questions 
and  everyone  felt  free  to  discuss  their 
problems  with  him.  He  also  had 
lantern  slides  to  show  parasites  pe- 
culiar to  goats,  which  were  both  in- 
teresting and  instructive.  After  the 
meeting,  refreshments  of  coffee  and 
doughnuts  were  served  and  a  good 
time  was  had  by  all.

MORE  ANENT  THE  A.  M.  G.  R.  A. 
ANNUAL   MEETING 

Mrs.  L  E.  Ettien 

I  read  with  interest  ye  editor's  de- 
scription of  the  Annual  Meeting  at 
Chicago  in  December.  Feilt  mightily 
rel  eved  that  Mr.  McGauley  recoverea 
his  overcoat.  That  gave  me  quite  a 
bit  of  anxious  thought.  I  feared  he 
might  run  into  one  of  those  tornadoes 
he  so  graphically  described  to  us.  I 
had  visions  of  the  said  overcoat  being 
caught  in  a  mighty  wind  and  carried 
away  like  the  magic  cai'pet  just  as 
poor  Mr.  McGauley  was  about  to 
grasp  it;  or  perhaps  the  building  it- 
self ascending  and  departing  for  parts 
unknown.  But  Mr.  Cullington's  iletter 
sets  everything  right. 

Seriously,  I  think  we  did  have  an 
unusually  good  meeting  this  year  and 
inade  more  constructive  progress  than 
has  been  made  in  years.  I  notice  a 
slight  error  in  report  of  kid  registra- 
tion— the  price  is  the  same,  $1.00  for 
members  and  §1.50  for  non-members 
— but  time  has  been  extended  to  one 
year  of  age  instead  of  six  months  as 
formerly.  This  is  excellent  legisHa- 
tion  because  it  gives  the  breeder  time 
to  determine  the  color  correctly. 
Many  kids  change  color  greatly  dur- 
ing their  first  year  of  life  and  this  is 
especially  so  in  the  Alpine  breed.  So 
many  that  are  registered  prior  to  six 
months  of  age  are  quite  different  in 
color  by  the  time  they  are  a  y.ear  old 
and  have  shed  their  kid  coats  and 
taken  on  their  permanent  ones. 

With  the  reduced  membership  rates 
we  should  have  no  non-member  own- 
ers now,  and  I  think  the  coming  year 
will  see  a  really  great  increase  in  the 
membership  of  the  A.  M.  G.  R.  A. 
And  with  your  delegates  to  represent 
you  at  the  annuial  meeting  (no  matter 
where  it  may  be  held)  you  will  have 
a  very  real  voice  in  the  affairs  of  your 
National  Association.  Also  the  mov- 
ing forward  of  the  time  of  meeting 
will  make  it  much  better  all  around 
in  the  matter  of  attendance.  It  takes 
quite  a  lot  of  moral  courage  to  fare 


SOUND    PROFITS 

WJien  you  can  see,  and  feel  a  profit — and  hear  it  jingle — you  know  you 
really  have  it. 

With  goats,  as  with  other  dairy  animals,  feeds  and  feeding  play  an  im- 
portant part  in  profit-making. 

When  the  feed  may  safely  be  used  in  quantities  necessary  to  support 
high  production — when  it  continues  to  maintain  the  condition  of  the 
animals — then  vou  have  a  profitable  ration. 

HERE'S  A  COMBINATION  THAT 
HAS  PROVED  IT'S  WORTH 

COAT  PELLETS

forth  in  sub-zero  weather.  And  we 
all  surely  do  admire  Mr.  McGauley 
and  Mr.  Cullington  for  their  faithful 
attendance — despite  weather  condi- 
tions. 

Another  improvement  for  future 
registrations  will  be  a  four-generation 
pedigree  to  be  furnished  with  each 
certificate.  This  is  a  great  conven- 
ience for  both  buyer  and  seller.  It 
was  voted  that  this  go  into  effect  at 
once  with  pedigrees  attached  until  the 
present  supply  is  exhausted  and  the 
new  certificates  to  have  pedigrees  o.n 
tack  of  the  certificate. 

I  hope  all  goat  breeders  everywhere 
will  have  a  very  prosperous  year — 
and  if  we  aH  work  together,  co-oper- 
ating in  all  things  that  are  for  the 
advancement  of  the  milk  goat — I  am 
sure  we  wilil.  Look  up  the  birth  dates 
on  those  1940  kids.  If  they  are  still 
under  a  year  old — send  them  in  for 
proper  registration.  And  take  upon 
yourself  to  bring  in  at  least  one  new 
member  to  the  A.  M.  G.  R.  A.  This 
new  membership  rate  is  on  trial;  it 
is  a  membership  drive.  If  you  all  do 
your  part  it  will  become  a  perma- 
nent ruling.  If  you  do  not —  and  the 
memlbership  is  not  sufficiently  in- 
creased to  warrant  this  low  cost — it 
must  of  necessity  go  back  to  the  orig- 
inal fee  because  expenditures  cannot 
be  met  unless  we  have  enough  mem- 
bers to  warrant  this  low  price.  After 
gaining  so  much,  do  ilet  us  see  to  it 
that  we  hold  what  we  have  gained.  Do 
your  part.

A  most  attractive  booth  of  the 
Massachusetts  Council  of  Milk  Goat 
Breeders  Association,  Inc.,  stood  in 
the  lobby  of  the  Lincoln  Memorial 
Building,  Worcester,  Mass.,  during  the 
three  days  of  the  Union  Agricultural 
Meeting. 

Four  beautifull  paintings  by  Miss 
Ann  Sherwood  and  her  mother 
adorned  the  back  wall.  Each  painting 
represented  one  of  the  four  breeds  of 
goats,  namely,  the  Toggenburg,  the 
Alpine,  the  iSaanen  and  the  Nubian. 

The  taihles  were  well  supplied  with 
free  bulletins  and  ramphlets  donated 
by  the  different  publications.  There 
was  a  fine  display  of  goat  supplies 
such  as,  halters,  collars,  chams, 
b'ankets,  bottle  caps,  etc.,  kindly 
loaned  by  the  Ross  Bros.  Co.  of  Wor- 
cester. Printed  paper  milk  battles 
and  oa^s  of  various  kinds  were  sent 
by  the  Paper  Goods  Co.  of  Cambridge. 
Mr  Ewell,  the  B-K  representative,  al- 
so donated  to  the  display.  There  was 
a  fine  showing  of  creams  and  lotions 
made  from  goat  milk  at  the  Hillshire 
Farms,  Killingly,  Conn.  .

NEWS  FROM  WESTERN 

Our  January  meeting  was  produc- 
tive of  good  results.  The  progess  we 
made  last  year  is  still  gaining  momen- 
tum, and  our  new  President,  Mr.  Mil- 
iler,  says,  "Watch  our  dust."  Tenta- 
tive plans  were  made  for  the  full  year, 
committees  have  been  appointed,  there 
is  plenty  of  work  ahead,  and  we  are 
counting  on  your  support.  Here  is 
something  worthy  of  your  effort.  A 
membership  drive  has  been  announced 
and  Mr.  Miller  is  donating  an  8-quart 
stainless  steel  milking  pail  to  the 
member  bringing  in  the  greatest 
number  of  applications  before  October 
1,  1941.  This  looks  like  a  double  chal- 
lenge; the  winner  not  only  has  to

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

Dear  Vic: 

As  every  one  knows,  I  went  down 
to  Palm  Beach  most  unexpectedly  on 
just  a  few  hours  notice  because  of  the 
sudden  death  of  one  of  the  firm,  so  I 
missed  the  Worcester  meeting,  to  my 
great  regret.  I  have  had  some  won- 
derfully nice  letters  from  my  friends 
about  "'t  and  am  glad  the  meeting  was 
such  a  success. 

You  just  should  have  seen  us  down 
there  trying  to  find  some  goat's  milk. 
First  we  tried  pasteurized  cow's  milk, 
but  I  couldn't  even  drink  the  first 
glass  of  that.  Then  we  had  certified 
raw  cow's  milk  which  was  some  bet- 
ter. But  I  decided  that  I  wouldn't 
drink  any  milk.  Then  I  caught  a  bad 
cold  and  thought  a  little  goat's  milk 
was  just  what  ,1  needed.  So  we  drove 
seventy  miles  to  the  dairy  beyond 
Miami  where  we  have  always  bought 
our  milk  in  the  past  and  bought  two 
quarts  of  precious  liquid.  Incident- 
ally, this  was  the  Tropical  Goat 
Dairy,  address  in  the  Miami  telephone 
book,  and  it  has  my  unsolicited  testi- 
monial letter  right  here  and  now. 
Mrs.  Maecher's  goats  looked  so  good 
to  me  that  Sunday  that  I  could  have 
spent    the    whole    day    playing    with 


them.  She  had  plenty  of  kids  and 
fresh  does,  though  this  was  the  very 
early  part  of  January.  They  were 
loose  in  an  umfenced  lot  with  just  a 
dog  to  keep  them  oflf  the  highwav  but 
cut  all  day  in  that  tropical  sun  and 
air  and  they  seemed  very  clean  and 
healthy. 

This  dairy  is  so  modest  in  appear- 
ance as  to  be  nothing  to  look  at.  But 
behind  the  scenes  is  every  facility  for 
producing  clean  milk  and  delivering  it 
attractively.  The  bottles  have  the 
name  of  the  dairy  blown  in  the  glass 
and  caps  that  cover  the  lip.  There 
is  a  tiny  but  snappy  truck  that  de- 
livers and  the  driver  wears  a  white 
coat.  Mrs.  Maecher  is  a  registered 
pharmacist  and  knows  what  real  sur- 
gical cleanliness  is.  She  was  a  power 
in  keeping  required  pasteurization  ol 
goat's  milk  out  of  Miami's  local  laws, 
but  she  is  under  strict  supervision. 
Any  day  an  inspector  may,  and  often 
does,  stop  her  truck  and  take  a  quart 
to  be  tested.  Inspectors  arrive  at  the 
dairy  unannounced  and  unexpected 
and  make  sure  that  she  is  keeping  up 
to  her  very  high  standard.  She  has  a 
mixed  herd  of  Toggenburgs  and  Nu- 
bians and  has  recently  added  a  few 
Saanens.  I  saw  six  or  eight  bucks, 
both  young   and  old,   all  together   in

one     small     yard,     living     peacefully 
enough. 

Well,  I  was  working  until  six 
o'clock  each  night,  and  a  hundred  and 
forty  mile  drive  seemed  just  a  little 
out  of  proportion,  even  when  it  is 
goat's  milk.  So  we  started  hunting  for 
a  nearer  supply.  One  of  the  big  dair- 
ies was  most  helpful,  after  the  drivers 
had  had  a  good  laugh  at  our  expense. 
We  were  told  to  go  to  iLake  Worth, 
which  is  the  next  town  south  of  Palm 
Beach,  and  inquire  at  the  police  sta- 
tion for  some  woman  who  kept  goats. 
We  couldn't  find  the  police  station,  so 
we  inquired  at  the  fire  station,  which 
worked  .out  just  as  well.  We  were  di- 
rected to  a  little  five  acre  farm, 
where  there  was  a  sign  out  "Goats 
Milk,  Grapefruit,  Fresh  Eggs" — and 
they  were  all  good.  That  was  just  the 
kind  of  place  where  most  of  us  dream 
of  retiring  in  the  south.  The  house 
was  stucco  and  comfortable,  with  a 
few  cocoanuft  palms,  flowering  vines 
and  a  lovely  hedge  to  enclose  it. 
There  were  bee-hives  in  the  ffrape- 
fruit  grove,  there  was  a  beautiful  row 
of  little  finger  banana  trees,  with 
their  lovely  purple  tulip-like  blossoms 
hangin-^  down  and  such  a  good  hen 
house  with  nice  fat  Rhode  Island  Reds 
and  a  little  goat  house  with,  I  think, 
five  milkers.  Just  a  woman  who  kept 
a  few  goats,  fed  them  well,  kept  them 
clean  and  handled  her  milk  properly. 
It  was  delicious  milk,  and  it  was  a 
pleasure  to  go  there  after  it. 

But  now  comes  the  grand  finale  of 
my  story.  Just  before  we  found  the 
woman  in  Lake  Worth,  we  had  writ- 
ten back  to  the  Tropical  Goat  Dairy 
asking  if  they  could  ship  us  milk,  and 
had  had  a  mesisage  that  they  could 
not.  So  one  day,  to  our  great  surprise, 
a  local  express  company  stopped  at 
our  door  with  a  huge  case  of  milk — 
twelve  quarts  to  be  exact.  Well,  that 
is  quite  a  bit  of  milk,  when  we  aver- 
age to  use  about  a  quart  a  day.  We 
started  manfully  to  drink  and  drink 
before  it  should  change  taste  or  o-o 
sour.  After  the  second  day,  I  would 
taste  it  very  doubtfully,  thoroughly 
prepared  to  refuse  it,  but  each  day  I 
would  drink  it  once  more.  This  went 
on  for  TEN  days,  the  milk  still  per- 
fectly delicious.

used  it  on,  very  favorable  results 
have  been  observed.  The  number  of

goats. 

Breeders  of  livestock  in  Middlesex 
County  have  cooperated,  for  a  number 
of  5'ears,  in  what  is  generally  believed 
to  be  the  first  Dairy  Herd  Health  As- 
sociation in  the  United  States.  In 
this  association  the  members  are  ap- 
plying "the  principles  of  socialized 
medicine"  to  their  livestock.  Twenty- 
one  farmers  have  hired  a  competent 
veterinarian  to  care  for  their  cattle  to 
forestall  losses  due  to  disease. 

The  timie  now  seems  ripe  for  some 
such  plan  to  be  put  into  practice  for 
the  care  of  goats. 

Those  interested  in  having  a  compe- 
tent veterinarian  inspect  their  herd 
monthly,  will  kindly  write  the  editor.

Mr.  Patrick  O'Toole,  owner  of  the 
Sunshine  Goat  Dairy,  Chicopee  Falls. 
Massachusetts  (one  of  the  largest 
dairies  in  Massachusetts)  claims 
that  the  outlook  for  the  dairy  goat 
industry  looks  much  brighter.  The 
public  is  slowly  but  surely  becoming 
better  educated  and  moi'e  appre- 
ciative of  the  value  of  goat's  milk. 
Inquiries  about  goats  and  their  prod- 
uct are  en  the  increase  and  in  the 
last  month  he  has  had  to  turn  down 
about  20  new  requests  for  goat's 
milk  due  to   his   inability  to   furnish 


the  increased  demand   at  this   period 
of  low  production.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

Dear  Editor  and  Goat  Friends: 

Now  that  the  Union  Agricultural 
meetings  are  over  and  having:  heard 
the  fine  speakers  and  having  met  all 
of  our  goat  iriends  once  again  1  sup- 
pose you  have  all  settled  dovi^n  and 
are  wondering  what's  next.  Well,  I 
have  tentative  arrangements  with  Dr. 
Grossman  of  the  Middlesex  University 
for  a  state-wide  goat  meeting  to  be 
held  on  the  campus  some  time  in  the 
spring,  the  date  to  be  set  later  and 
hoping  for  good  weather.  We  will 
have  a  chance  to  see  and  hear  all 
about  goats  and  other  animals  and 
what  they  are  doing  to  help  us  with 
our  problems.  The  school  is  well 
equipped  with  good  instructors  and 
materials.  Plans  will  be  completed 
later  and  I  hope  that  many  of  you 
from  all  over  the  state  will  plan  to 
be  with  us.  There  we  will  have  a 
chance  to  hear  some  more  from  those 
two  fine  speakers,  Dr.  Weisz  and  Dr. 
Hantman.  Bring  your  problems  with 
you   and   get   first  hand   information. 


We  hope  that  the  meeting  can  be 
held  on  a  Sunday  so  that  as  many  as 
possible  may  come. 

Gordon  Eisenhauer  and  the  writer 
traveled  one  nice  stormy  Sunday 
afternoon  down  to  the  Plymouth- 
Bristol  -  South  Eastern  meeting:  a 
few  weeks  ago  to  hear  Carl  Leach, 
but  were  disappointed  in  not  seeing 
and  hearing  him  due  to  the  storm. 
We  hope  that  he  will  be  able  to  wt 
to  these  parts  again  soon.  But  our 
visit  was  not  in  vain.  We  had  a 
grand  time  and  heard  most  inter- 
esting talk  by  Dr.  Weisz  of  Middlesex 
University,  who  by  the  way  is  a  great 
sport  to  come  and  talk  on  such  short 
notice.  You  who  have  not  heard  Dr. 
Weisz  and  Dr.  Hantman  have  been 
missing  something,  so  do  try  and  hear 
them  soon.  We  stopped  to  see  Mary 
Gould  and  her  herd  of  "Marigolds" 
and  "Snowball"  and  the  other  boys. 
They  are  a  fine  lot  and  well  worth 
seeing.  We  spent  a  long  time  there 
and  Mary  was  a  fi:ne  host.  Thanks 
again,  Blary.     It  was  nice  seeing  all

With  goats,  as  with  other  dairy  animals,  feeds  and  feeding  play  an  im- 
portant part  in  profit-making. 

When  the  feed  may  safely  be  used  in  quantities  necessary  to  support 
high  production — when  it  continues  to  maintain  the  condition  of  the 
animals — then  you  have  a  profitable  ration.

the  fine  goat  people  again  and  sitting 
in  such  a  fine  joint  meeting  led  bv 
President  Allan  Blackball  of  [South 
Eastern.  Hope  to  be  with  them  again 
soon.  The  meeting  reminded  one  of 
the  Worcester  Meetings  held  each 
January,  seeing  all  the  familiar  faces 
frorn  all  over  the  state  and  also  Con- 
necticut. 

Had  a  nice  letter  today  from  our 
genial  Council  Secretary,  Mary  Far- 
ley, who  is  now  back  from  the  sunny 
south.  Dr.  Marion  Baldwin  and  Mrs. 
Leavitt  of  Hillshire  Farms,  who 
shared  our  booth  at  the  Worcester 
Meeting,  are  in  Worcester  at  one  of 
our  Ds"*-  stores  for  the  next  two 
weeks  with  their  display  of  Goat 
Milk  Products.  They  are  great  boost- 
ers for  your  goat  milk  so  give  them 
all  your  support  when  they  hit  your 
locality.  They  have  a  full  window 
display  including  some  mounted  kids 
which  help  to  make  a  very  interesting 
setting.  Also  at  one  of  our  movie 
houses  they  are  showing  a  movie 
short  of  Dr.  Baldwin's  farm  and  lab- 
oratories. All  these  things  are  going 
to  help  boost  the  sale  of  milk  around 
here  and  every  place  they  go  so  ba 
looking  for  them  when  they  hit  your 
town. 

Well  there  isn't  much  more  to  say 
just  now  except  that  right  now  there 
iis  a  greater  demand  for  milk  than  any 
of  the  breeders  can  supply  so  better 
plan  now  to  have  more  winter  milk. 
As  we  are  at  the  .start  of  the  kidding 
season  I  hops  yru'll  all  have  plenty  oi 
nice  big  doe  kids  this  year.  Now  that 
we  have  the  war  I  feel  that  the  ^ood 
old  U.  S.  A.  is  going  to  take  the  lead 
of  the  world  in  producing  the  best  of 
milk  goats. 

So  long  for  mow  and  I'll  be  seeing 
you,

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

(Continued  from  Page  Two) 
At  the  end  of  the  ten  days,  we  de- 
cided to  ffo  to  Miami  for  a  long  week- 
end. So  we  took  along  our  two  re- 
maininsr  quarts  of  milk  just  because 
we  had  gotten  so  used  to  having  it 
arouind  that  we  couldn't  bear  to  part 
from  it.  On  the  fourteenth  day,  we 
finished  the  milk.  By  this  time,  the 
White  cream  had  risen  to  the  top  of 
the  bottles,  so  that  it  had  to  be  stirred 
up  to  pour,  but  it  was  still  better  than 
average  goat's  milk.  All  this  in  a  cli- 
mate warm  and  humid,  comparable  to 
our  summer  conditions.  The  moral  of 
all  this  is  that  it  takes  bacteria  to 
spoil  milk  and  even  under  simple  con- 
ditions, goat's  milk  can  be  kept  so 
clean  if  a  person  knows  how  and  will 
take  the  pains,  that  bacteria  which 
would  make  it  spoil  just  are  not  pres- 
ent. It  is  better  than  I  know  how  to 
do  myself,  but  I  am  determined  to 
learn. 

Still,  now  that  I  am  back  home,  my 
owni  good  milk,  fresh  every  morning, 
tastes  amazingly  good  to  me,  and  I 
thoroughly  like  the  idea  of  having  it 
fresh.  Twelve  hours  is  all  mine  has 
a  chance  to  keep. 

Sincerely  yours, 

Molly  Parley.

PLEASE  NOTICE  CHANGE  OF 
DATE 

The  April  meeting  of  the  E.  C.  M. 
G.  B.  A.  has  been  changed  to  Friday, 
April  18,  instead  of  the  date  previously 
announced.  The  place  is  the  same  — 
the  Dairy  Building,  Elssex  Aggie, 
Hathorne.  The  program  is  the  same 
— "Wirthmore  night". 

We  hope  the  weather  will  be  favor- 
able so  that  there  may  be  a  large  at- 
tendance, for  we  can  guarantee  a 
worthwhile  program.  The  Wirthmore 
Grain  Co.  is  a  regular  advertiser  in 
our  New  England  Goat  News.  It  has 
for  many  years  been  the  donator  of 
the  Wirthmore  Trophy  Cup  for  the 
grand  champion  doe  at  Topsfield  Fair. 
Last  year  its  director  of  dairy  sei-vice, 
Stanley  L.  Freemam  spoke  at  a  meet- 
ing of  our  association  and  gave  us 
much  new  information  to  consider. 
We  have  asked  him  to  come  again  this 
year  and  are  anticipating  another 
similar  evening  of  service  and  help  to 
us  and  our  goats.  Shall  we  see  vou 
April  18? 


FROM   THE   MAIL   BAG 

Col.  Chas.  A.  Meserve  of  the  South- 
Eastern  and  Plymouth-Bristol  Asso>.i- 
aticns,  was  completely  burned  out  at 
his  farm  in  East  Bridgewater,  on  a 
cold,  windy  night  the  latter  part  of 
February.  He  was  awakened  about  2 
A.  M.  to  fiind  his  living-room  in 
flames,  and  had  just  time  to  esca»>e 
through  a  window.  Neighbors  helped 
rescue  his  fine  herd  of  French  Al- 
pines, all  of  which  except  a  valuable 
doe,  were  saved.  The  Colonel's  two 
dogs  were  trapped  in  the  house  and 
lost.  His  entire  property,  including 
furnishings  and  several  tons  of  hay,  is 
a  complete  loss.  The  fire  started  in 
the  house,  which  was  attached  to  the 
barn),  so  there  was  time  to  get  the 
goats  out  and  drive  them  down  to 
pasture.  Mrs.  Kay  of  Abington  is 
caring  for  the  herd  until  Col.  Meserve 
can  rebuild. 

The  news  was  a  great  shock  to  all 
present  at  the  March  meeting  of  the 
South-Eastern  and  Plymouth-Bristol 
Associations,  and  a  vote  of  svmpathy 
to  be  extended  to  Col.  Meserve,  was 
taken. 


The  last  meeting  of  the  Central 
Group  was  held  at  the  home  of  Dan 
Davis  of  Auburn,  Mass.  Dan's  home, 
with  its  antiques  and  colonial  charm, 
is  always  the  envy  of  those  who  ap- 
preciate such  things.  Mrs.  Davis  is  a 
dear  hostess  and  feels  mighty  proud 
of  her  great  danes,  as  well  she  might.

FROM  THE  COUNCIL  PRESIDENT 

Dear  Editor  and  Goat  Friends: — 

Another  month  has  passed  and  we 
nre  all  nearinp:  the  height  of  the  kid- 
ding sfa?on.  No  doubt  many  of  you 
have  had  a  lot  of  kids  by  this  time. 
Let's  hope  that  you  have  a  lot  of  nice 
prize  does.  A  few  vears  ago  it  was  a 
fairly  easy  job  to  select  the  prize  win- 
rers  at  the  goat  or  kid  show.  But  in 
the  Ia5t  couple  of  years  the  problem  of 
judging  seems  to  be  getting  harder  as 
we  have  been  improving  our  stock. 
Let's  keep  up  the  good  work.  A 
number  of  people  I  have  talked  to  re- 
cently aoem  to  be  interested  in 
Nubians.  We  can  stand  some  good 
Nubian  stock  around  these  parts. 
While  the  good  ones  that  we  have  are 
very  good  there  doesn't  seem  to  be 
enough  at  the  present  time.  I  think 
the  main  rea<!on  for  this  is  the  scarcity 
of  good  Nubian  bucks.  One  has  to 
travel  a  great  distance  for  service. 

On  February  20,  Miss  Farley  and 
the  writer  attended  the  luncheon'  of 
the  Union  Agricultural  Meeting  As- 
sociation as  your  representatives.  It 
was  a  new  'experience  for  me,  but  old 
stuff  for  Molly.  We  had  a  fine  time 
and  enjoyed  meeting  all  the  others 
there.  Election  of  officers  was  held 
and  then    reports   of   the   last   Union 


Meeting  held  at  Woi-cester  were  made. 
Plans  lor  next  year's  meetings  were 
discussed  and  the  writer  had  the  op- 
portunity of  thanking  the  Common- 
wealth through  Mr.  Lombard  for  the 
cooperation  given  the  Council  at  the 
last  meeting. 

On  March  5th,  Miss  Farley  and  I 
journeyed  again  to  Boston,  this  time 
to  put  in  our  protest  at  the  hearing  of 
the  crpam  bill.  There  was  one  Item  in 
th"^  bill  pertaining  to  goats.  In  the 
definition  of  the  "Dairy  Farm"  the 
bill  calls  for  "two  cows  or  four  goats". 
We  protested  this,  claiming  that  two 
goats  was  not  a  fair  comparison  to  one 
cow.  The  bill  did  not  copcern  us  ex- 
rei^t  for  that  one  point.  However,  we 
did  listen  to  a  very  discouraging  re- 
port from  a  Doctor,  a  board  of  health 
officer  regarding  the  goat  conditions 
from  his  section.  It  really  was  dis- 
couraging. I'm  sure  that  Miss  Farley 
feels  as  I  do  that  something  must  be 
done  to  change  these  conditions  be- 
cause it  is  always  a  black  eye  for  the 
goat  business  to  have  'any  such  reports 
go  on  record  at  these  hearings.  If  the 
goat  people  do  not  do  something  soon 
about  keeping  clean  barns,  etc.,  it  is 
gojng  to  be  harder  for  them  to  sell 
their  milk  around  the  state.  This 
particular  health   officer   will   not   let

any  goat  milk  be  sold  in  his  city. 
Now,  such  a  condition  as  that  is  very 
bad,  not  only  for  that  city  but  as  the 
other  cities  and  towns  hear  of  such 
things  they  are  going  to  do  likewise. 

Personally  I  do  not  think  the  goat 
conditions  are  as  bad  as  the  cow  con- 
ditions were  before  they  ha,q  state 
control.  Which  brings  up  the  thouopht 
that  I  have  always  had,  that  what  we 
need  is  a  Goat  Milk  Bill,  'a  bill  of  our 
own,  to  deal  with  nothing  but  goats 
and  the  milk.  We  need  inspection  and 
testing  of  our  animals.  With  such  a 
bill  and  the  records  of  the  testing 
kept,  I'm  sure  that  in  a  few  years  we 
could  prove  that  under  such  control  it 
would  be  safe  for  us  to  sell  raw  milk. 
Pasteurizmg  is  not  going  to  improve 
cur  milk,  nor  is  it  going  to  make  it 
cleaner,  all  it  does  is  to  cover  up  ne- 
glect and  destroy  much  of  its  value. 
No  matter  how  clean  your  barns  are, 
why  not  see  if  there  isn't  something 
you  can  do  to  make  it  better  and 
cleaner.  The  best  'advertising  you  can 
do  for  the  goat  business  it  to  really 
shock  people  that  you  are  showing 
through  your  barns,  with  its  clea.n'- 
liness.  'It's  little  things  that  count, 
make  your  visitors  say  "What  lucky 
goats".  One  of  our  members  at  Cen- 
tral makes  his  milker  wear  a  sur- 
geon's mask  at  milking.  It  may  sound 
silly  to  some  of  you  but  it  is  sanitary 
and  certainly  impresses  the  public.  I 
cannot  emphasize  too  strongly  the 
testing  of  your  goats.  You  may  know 
that  they  are  alright  but  does  the  pub- 
lic know,  unless  you  can  point  with 
pride  to  your  test  certificates. 

There  is  an  interesting  letter  in  to- 
night's paper  (March  13th)  in  Dr. 
Brady's  column  from  a  friend  of  the 
goat.  Certainly  is  interesting  reading 
but  of  course  old  stuff  to  us  "goat 
hounds".  More  good  advertising.  Al- 
so in  this  morning's  paper  there  is  an 
article  about  one  of  Mr.  Stauffer's 
goats  having  had  "quints"  again  this 
year,  repeating  last  year's  perform- 
ance. 

Don't  forget  the  milk  scoring  con- 
test in  April,  and  take  care  of  the 
horns  on  your  kids  now — so  that  you 
won't  be  sorry  later. 

So  long  for  now, 

Dune  Gillies.

INTERESTING  TALK  ON 
GOAT  FEEDS 

At  a  joint  meeting  of  the  Plymouth- 
Bristol  and  Southeastern  Massachu- 
setts Associations,  on  March  2,  in  the 
Armory  Hall  at  Randolph,  an  in- 
formative talk  on  goat  feeds  was 
given  by  Mr.  M.  E.  Kniese,  Dept.  ot 
Animal  Husbandry,  of  Middlesex  Uni- 
versity. Mr.  Kniese  stressed  the  value 
of  high-grade  feeds  in  producimg 
abundant  milk,  and  suggested  that 
such  could  be  purchased  at  the  least 
expense  in  unmixed  fomis.  _  The  fol- 
lowing is  a  summary  of  the  important 
facts  in  goat-feeding  set  forth  in  Mr. 
Kniese's  talk. 

Grass-eating  animals  require  about 
one  calorie  of  food  per  kilogram  of 
v,'eight,  per  hour,  for  their  body  main- 
tenance. (By  food  is  meant  digestible 
food,  exclusive  of  waste,  and  of  this, 
grain  possess  about  75%  digestible 
matter,  hay  50%,  and  ensilage,  25%).) 
Besides  the  amount  required  for  body 
maintenance,  it  takes  4/10  pounds  ot 
digestible    matter    to     produce     each

pound  of  milk.  One  pound  of  digesti- 
ble matter  contains  1812  calories. 
These  figures  form  a  basis  for  follow- 
ing compuljation. 

Let  us  compute  the  food  required  by 
a  four-quart  doe.  A  goat  weighing 
100  lbs.,  also  weighs  45  kilograms,  ft 
requires  24  calories  per  day  for  each 
kilogram,  and  allowing  for  waste,  30 
is  a  more  practical  figure.  30  times  45 
equals  1350  calories,  which  is  con- 
tained in  1350/1812  pounds  of  digesti- 
ble matter,  which  amounts  to  3/4 
pound.     This  is  for  maintenance. 

For  four  quarts  of  milk  the  doe  will 
require  4  times  4/10  pounds,  or  3.2 
pounds  of  digestible  matter.  Her  food 
bill  is  thus  3/4  pounds  plus  3.2  pounds, 
or  4  pounds  of  digestible  matter.  This 
can  be  made  up  of  4  pounds  of  hay 
which  will  give  us  two  pounds  of 
digestible  matter,  and  3  pounds  of 
grain  which  will  give  us  2%  lbs.  of 
digestible  matter.  (According  to  the 
U.  S.  Dept.  of  Agric,  a  four-quart  doe 
should  get  2.2  pounds  of  grain,  which 
agrees  with  this  figure.)  The  hay 
should  be  self -fed. 

If  the  grains  are  bought  separately, 
they  should  be  mixed,  in  the  propor- 
tions of  six  parts  cereal,  2  parts,  bran, 
and  2  parts  proteini  supplement.  Of 
the  cereals,  corn  has  the  highest  ener- 
gy content,  barley  9/10  as  much  as 
corn,  and  oats  8/10.  This  mixture 
would  thus  be  60  pounds  of  grain,  20 
pounds  of  bran,  and  20  pounds  of  meal 
/(protein  supplement).  One  or  several 
cereals  can  be  used  in  the  mixture. 

Cereals  should  be  cracked  but  not 
ground,  as  the  fine  material  tends  to 
cake  in  the  stomach.  Bran  should  be 
first  "rade.  Of  the  proteins,  those  of 
animal  origin  are  said  to  be  of  higher 
quality  than  plant  proteins.  They  all 
contain  amino  acids,  of  which  ten  are 
needed.  In  cereals  these  acids  are 
small  in  quantity,  and  mostly  of  the 
non-essential  variety;  so  for  the  pro- 
tein supplement,  we  must  feed  al 
falfa,  clover,  soy  bean,  and  cow  pea 
among  the  fodders  and  linseed,  cotton- 
seed, and  soy  meals.  These  latter 
should  be  of  the  screening  or  pea  size. 


SOUND    PROFITS 

WJien  you  can  see,  and  feel  a  profit — and  hear  it  jingle — you  know  you 
really  have  it. 

With  goats,  as  with  other  dairy  animals,  feeds  and  feeding  play  an  im- 
portant part  in  profit-making. 

When  the  feed  may  safely  be  used  in  quantities  necessary  to  support 
high  production — when  it  continues  to  maintain  the  condition  oil  the 
animals — then  vou  have  a  profUnhle  ration.

Her  coat's  of  many  colors,

In  the  matter  of  minerals,  iron, 
copper,  and  iodine  are  seldom  m^eeded 
in  the  feed,  as  deficiencies  of  these 
are  rare.  Calcium  is  vital,  especially 
at  kidding  time,  and  a  box  of  ground 
limestone  is  all  that  is  required.  (It 
was  pointed  out  in  the  discussion 
period  that  worming  a  pregnant  doe 
was  apt  so  to  lower  the  calcium  con- 
tent of  her  system  as  to  cause  her 
death  at  kidding.)  Phosphorus  is 
best  fed  in  ground  bone  meal;  but 
all  minerals  should  be  fed  separately, 
as  they  are  apt  to  make  the  grain  un- 
palatable. A  good  mixture  is:  2 
parts  limestone,  2  parts  bone  meal, 
and  1  part  salt.

NEWS  FROM   MIDDLESEX 
UNIVERSITY 

The  question  of  goats  played  little 
or  no  part  in  the  deliberations  of  the 
Trustees  of  Middlesex  University 
when  they  decided  to  establish  a 
School  of  Veterinary  Medicine  and  ap- 
propriated the  funds  for  the  erection 
of  a  veterinary  hospital  and  animal 
clinic.  Elaborate  provisions  were 
made  in  a  small-animal  hospital  for 
the  care  and  treatment  of  dogs  and 
cats;  a  spacious  operating  room  and 
comfortable  box  stalls  were  es- 
tablished in  a  large-animal  hospital 
where  horses  and  cows  could  be  re- 
ceivied  for  treatment;  but  the  Trustees 
did  not  foresee  that  their  veterinary 
hospital  would  be  deluged  with  a  flood 
of  middle-sized  patients, — specifically 
goats. 

At  presemt,  Middlesex  is  the  clear- 
ing house  for  all  the  ills  that  beset  the 
goat  population  of  New  England,  and 
at  any  time  a  wide  variety  of  these 
fascinating  animals,  Toggenburg, 
Nubian,  French  Alpine,  Saanen,  or 
just  plain;  native  goats,  are  to  be 
found  in  the  animal  hospital.  As  a 
result,  several  full-time  members  of 
the  veterinary  faculty  including  Dr. 
Edgar  A.  Grossman,  dean  of  the  veter- 
inary school.  Dr.  Harris  W.  Hantman, 
and  Di'.  Leo  Weisz,  who  was  chief 
veterinarian  of  the  Austrian  army 
during  the  first  World  War,  have  be- 
come authorities  in  the  diagnosis  and 
treatment  of  the  diseases  of  goats. 
All  of  these  scientists  were  guests  of 
honor  at  a  recent  convention  of  the 
Massachusetts  Milk  Goat  Breeders' 
Association,  and  a  future  meeting  of 
the  Association  will  be  held  at  the 
veterinary  school. 

There  are  some  three  thousand 
goats  in  Massachusects  and  the  produs- 
tion  of  goat  milk  in  that  state  is  a 
two  million  dollar  enterprise.  A  milk 
goat  is  a  cow  in  miniature  and  is  sus- 
ceptible to  various  diseases  of  cattle, 
although  it  is  much  more  rugged  and 
easier  to  raise.  In  Europe,  particu- 
larly   during    war    time,    goats    have

proved  of  great  value  in  supplement- 
ing _th°  milk  supply.  Their  milk  is 
particularlv  in  demand  for  invalids 
and  for  children  who  cannot  tolerate 
cow's  milk,  because  goat  milk  has  a 
much  higher  butter-fa.t  content  and  is 
more  readily  digestible. 

From  an  economic  point  of  view  the 
goat  is  a  better  producer  than  the 
cow,  giving  more  milk  per  pound  of 
body  weight,  and  it  can  be  housed 
much  more  easily  and  it  is  less  ex- 
pensive to  feed. 

The  Middlesex  animal  clinic  con- 
ducts routine  tests  on  its  goat  patient'J 
for  tuberculosis,  undulant  fever,  and 
parasites.  Its  veterinarians  have 
overcome  sterility  in  goats  by  a  varia- 
tion of  the  Steinach  operation,  and 
they  have  successfully  made  use  of 
intravenous  anesthesia  as  a  pai't  of 
their  operative  technique.  They  have 
a  painless  method  of  treating  young 
goats  so  that  no  horns  at  all  develon. 
This  avoids  the  necessity  of  a  dehorn- 
ing operation  which  is  frequently  per- 
formed on  adult  goats. 

As  things  stand  at  present,  the  Uni- 
versity faces  the  need  of  a  separate 
wing  for  the  hospitalization  of  goats, 
since  meither  the  small-animal  nor  the 
large-animal  hospitals  were  primarily 
designed  for  this  particular  species. 
Several  grateful  goat  breeders  have 
donated  animals  to  the  University, 
which  now  has  a  thriving  goat  herd, 
in  addition  to  its  horses,  sheep,  poul- 
try, dogs,  cats,  laboratory  animals, 
and  its  already  well-known  kinkajou.

FROM   THE   MAIL  BAG 

We  purchased  some  of  the  Goat's 
Milk  Swiss  Cheese  that  was  adver- 
tised in  the  News  and  found  it  the 
most  delicious  domestic  Swiss  cheese 
we  have  ever  tasted.  It  was  well- 
aged  and  mellow  without  a  trace  of 
goaty  fl'avor.  We  have  sent  another 
order  for  twice  as  much  as  we  bought 
the  first  time  and  wish  to  thank  you, 
Goat  News,  for  putting  us  in  the  way 
of  obtaining  such  a  delicacy  right  now 
when  imported  cheeses  are  so  diffi- 
cult to  find. 


Mr.    Walter    Bruce    who    was    the 

speaker  at  the  February  meeting  of 
the  Eastern  Connecticut  Dairy  Goat 
Breeders  Association  is  convalescing

FROM   THE  MAIL  BAG 

Middlesex  County  has  found  panel 
discussions  the  answer  to  their  quest 
for  variety  in  their  programs.  At 
last  meeting  the  topic  "Your  Goats 
find  the  Garden  and  the  Garden  land 
Your  Goats"  was  handled  informally 
by  the  group  at  large.  We  learned 
that  general  garden  crops  will  be  rel- 
ished by  our  animals  and  special  crops 
such  las  oats,  field  peas,  soy  beans, 
millets,  and  grasses  are  easily  and 
economically  fed  green  as  well  as 
dried  into  hay  for  stonage. 

The  goats  in  return  supply  a  valu- 
able fertilizer  which,  when  used  prop- 
erly with  limited  amounts  of  commer. 
cial  plant  foods,  will  greatly  enhance 
the  beauty  of  lawns  and  will  in- 
crease the  yield  of  garden  crops. 

Mr.  Gillies,  President  of  the  State 
Council,  found  time  to  be  with  us  at 
the  last  meeting.  We  enjoyed  his 
visit  and  hope  others  will  follow  his 
example  and  drop  in  on  future  meet- 
ings.

The  May  meeting  of  the  ECMGBA 
will  be  on  Friday  night.  May  9,  at  8 
P.  M.,  at  the  Essex  Aggie,  Hathome. 
The  speaker  will  be  Dr.  Woelffler  and 
the  subject  "mastitis".  As  this  is 
such  a  malefactor  with  dairy  cows  it 
is  wise  for  us  who  have  dairy  goats  to 
be  on  the  alert  to  anticipate  trouble 
from  such  a  source  with  our  animals. 
Dr.  Woelffler  is  an  authority  on  this 
subject  of  mastitis  in  cows  and  we 
fee)  that  his  remarks  will  be  likewise 
applicable  to  goats.  The  meeting  is 
open  to  all  and  we  invite  you  to  be 
with  us  on  May  9. 


The  ECMGBA  will  hold  its  anmual 
Kid  Show,  on  the  lawn  of  the  Essex 
Agric.  School,  Hathome.  The  judge 
will  be  Allan  J.  Blackhiall,  former 
president  of  the  Mass.  Council.  Mi-. 
Blackball  was  our  excellent  judge  at 
the  1940  Kid  Show  and  we  are  hoping 
for  larger  classes  of  outstanding  1941 
kids  for  his  appraisal.  More  details 
will  be  given  in  the  June  issue  of  the 
News.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

April  13,  1941. 
Dear  Editor  and  Goat  Friends: — 

On  April  second,  your  council  secre- 
tary and  I  journeyed  to  Boston  to 
hear  Dr.  Herman  C.  Lythgoe  of  the 
Massachusetts  Department  of  Public 
Health  give  his  talk  on  "Goat  Milk" 
at  the  New  England  Health  Institute. 
Dr.  Lythgoe  gave  a  very  fine  talk  and 
I  was  pleased  to  hear  such  a  fair  and 
v.nbiased  lecture  on  a  ,sub.iect  so  many 
people  know  so  little  about.  Many  in- 
teresting points  were  brought  out, 
some  very  much  to  our  credit  and 
others,  not  so  much.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  not  a  single  case  of  Mas- 
titis, Contagious  Abortion,  or  T.  B. 
was  found  in  about  250  goats  tested. 
One  thing  that  I  was  surprised  at 
was  that  the  goats  milk  varied  so 
much  in  quality.  It  seems  that  in  the 
summer  months  the  milk  is  lower  in 
quality  but  in  the  winter  it  is  above 
cows  milk.  No  reason  was  given  for 
this.  Perhaps  some  of  you  may  have 
tan  explanation  for  it.  Tkere  was 
great  interest  shown  as  I  believe  there 
must  have  been  about  150  people 
there,  and  I  know  of  only  four  that 
were  interested  in  goats.  Dr.  Lyth- 
goe is  to  be  conigratulated  for  his 
very  fair  and  expert  talk. 


Later  in  the  evening  Miss  Farley 
and  I  went  to  visit  the  Middlesex 
meeting.  It  was  my  'first  visit  and  I 
certainly  enjoyed  the  meeting,  and 
having  an  opportunity  to  meet  all  of 
our  friends  at  Middlesex.  They  had 
a  fine  meeting,  presided  over  by  their 
President,  Judd  Farley,  who  does  'a 
swell  job  along  with  the  other  officers 
After  the  business  meeting  a  panel 
discussion  was  enjoyed.  This  certain- 
ly is  a  great  way  to  keep  interest  in 
the  meetir.gs.  I  hope  that  the  Central 
group  will  have  one  soon.  During  the 
business  meeting  some  interest  was 
shown  regarding  a  Library.  I  must 
mention  this  here,  as  I  think  and  have 
thought  for  a  long  time  that  evei-y 
goat  organiaation  should  have  every 
book  or  pamphlet  written  about  goats, 
also  the  Goat  News,  Dairy  Goat  Jour- 
nal and  the  Goat  World.  These  copies 
should  be  kept  as  a  record,  las  many 
times  one  may  lose  some  copy  that 
they  may  want  to  refer  to.  I  also 
want  to  mention  the  recordin.gs  of  all 
registrations  published  by  the  Goat 
World.  These  containi  all  the  reeis- 
tmtions  from  the  beginning  and  it 
will  not  be  long  before  the  early 
copies  will  be  out  of  print.  While  we 
are  speaking  of  books  I  would  like  to 
recommend  very  highly  for  your  read-

ing  the  following,  "You  and  Hered- 
ity", by  Amram  Scheinfeld.  This  is 
not  about  goats  as  you  will  see  by  the 
title  but  it  is  written  so  that  just  an 
ordinary  person  without  knowledge  of 
genetics  can  understand  in  a  small 
way  what  it  is  all  about. 

The  Central  Group  are  planning  a 
kid  show  to  be  held  in  Holden,  Mass. 
some  time  in  June,  time  to  be  an- 
nounced later.  This  is  held  on  the 
Common  right  in  the  center  of  town. 
The  John  Harkins  Post  of  the  Ameri- 
can Legion  makes  this  possible  as  it 
is  held  as  an  attraction  for  their  car- 
nival held  each  summer.  It  is  hoped 
that  this  show  will  be  open  to  all 
comers.  Plan  now  to  be  ready  with 
your  kids  for  this  show. 

Well,  I  guess  that's  all  I  know  for 
now,  so  long,  I'll  be  seeing  you  soon  I 
hope.

P.  S. — I  wonder  if  it  wouldn't  be  a 
good  idea  to  exchange  panel  speakers 
at  the  different  meetings.  We  might 
get  some  new  ideias. 


DELAYED   ANSWERS 

For  the  benefit  of  those  who  have 
written  to  the  Goat  News  and  have 
not  yet  received  a  reply,  we  wish  to 
inform  you  that  your  answers  will  be 
forthcoming. 

We  find  our  mail  has  reached  such 
proportions  that  an  immediate  reply 
is  impossible.  However,  we  are  glad 
of  these  letters  and  we  are  pleased  to 
send  replies. 

Many  questions  asked  could  be  more 
specifically  answered  if  they  were  ren- 
dered before  an  association  meeting 
There  the  pros  and  cons  of  different 
methods  and  ideas  could  be  discussed, 
thereby  enlightening  the  questioner 
on  a  broader  scale. 

We  sincerely  request  anyone  inter- 
ested in  the  goat  industry  (whether 
they  have  herds  or  not),  to  join  the 
association  in  his  or  her  vicinity.  The 
dues  are  small,  the  information  avail- 
able at  such  meetings  are  invaluable. 
You  may  have  ideas  on  raising,  hous- 
ing, feeding,  etc.,  which  will  enlighten 
others. 


STAMPS 

We  are  willing  to  accept  stamps  in 
lieu  of  cash  for  small  remittances; 
but  request  that  stamps  be  either  of 
the  one  or  three  cent  variety.  Please 
be  careful  in  wrapping  them  as  we 
cannot  use  damager'  stamps.

GOAT  MILK  CHEESE 

Greek  type,  raw  milk,  cold  milk 
process  cheese  has  outstanding:  merit 
and  advantages  over  most  cheese. 
From  the  bacteriolog'ist's  views  it 
carries  more  friendly  or  constructive 
bacteria  than  cheese  of  any  other  pro- 
cess of  manufacture.  This  is  due  to 
the  hiRh  percentage  of  'Lactic  Baccilus 
it  must  be  inocculated  with  to  endure 
the  long  process  of  ripening.  This 
ripening  process  requires  five  to  six 
months,  which  also  builds  up  a  high 
vitamin  content.  The  ancient  Grecians 
used  this  type  of  cheese  (made  from 
the  milk  of  sheen  or  goats),  wheat 
porridge  and  dried  figs  to  prepare 
their  athletes  for  the  strenuous  Olym- 
pian games. 

Recent  uses  has  proven  it  a  specific 
in  ulcerated  stomach  cases,  as  vs^ell  as 
chronic  constipation,  and  anemia.  In 
an  ulcerous  case  when  Briar  Hills 
Greek  Type  Cheese  is  included  in  the 
daily  diet  of  at  least  twice  a  day  the 
presence  of  the  bacteria  in  the  cheese 
drives  away  the  membrane  consuming 
bacteria  (the  destructive  germ)  in  the 
sitomach  or  duodeum. 

Each  time  this  cheese  is  used  (due 
to  the  chemical  reaction  when  mixed 
with  the  gastric  juices)  it  causes 
these  membrane  consuming  bacteria 
to  release  their  hold  and  pass  on  into 
the  large  intestines,  where  they  are 
d-sposed  of.  The  repetition  of  this 
performance  two  or  three  times  a  day 
over  a  period  of  several  months,  will 
eventua'ly  reduce  their  numbers  so 
the  friendly  baccilus  found  in  the 
cheese  can  carry  on  its  work  of  re- 
constructing the  membranes  or  stom- 
ach and  intestinal  llinings,  thereby 
Ibringing  hack  normal  digestion  and 
effect  a  new  growth  of  these  mem- 
branes. All  stomach  ulcerus  cases  are 
aggravated  by  a  nervous  condition 
prompted  by  a  restless  mental  state  as 
worry,  suppressed  desires,  complexes, 
etc.  Since  conditions  breed  life,  this 
membrane  consuming  or  destructive 
germ  was  actually  bred  by  the  indi- 
vidual  itself.     A  study  of  cause  and 


affect  will  enable  one  to  more  fully 
understand  his  own  condition  and 
work  toward  a  permanent  correction. 
Since  it  is  a  form  of  life  or  growth 
we  must  rid  our  svKtem  of,  for  relief 
•ind  ture  we  MUST  use  a  friendly 
form  of  life  to  combat  it. 

The  lactic  baccilus  and  vitamin 
grovrth  in  the  Briar  Hills  Greek  Type, 
uncooked  raw  milk  cheese  contains 
only  constructive  bacteria. 

The  high  lactic  acid  content  of  the 
cheese  and  the  alkaline  reaction  of 
the  ash  content  brings  about  a  favor- 
ab'e  bowel  condition  and  thereby  over- 
comes chronic  constipation. 

Most  anemia  cases  are  sufferino' 
from  calcium  and  iron  hunger.  Briar 
Hil's  Greek  Type  Cheese  has  a  high 
calcium  content  of  a  very  assimiable 
and  organic  form  and  when  used  with 
the  high  organic  iron  bearing  Vikin". 
or  goat  brown  whey  cheese,  one  has 
a  very  harmonious  combination  which 
will  bring  about  a  marked  change  and 
start  one  on  the  road  to  recovery, 
provided  it  is  systematically  used  in 
the  diet  for  a  period  of  several 
months. 

One  must  be  guided  by  one's  physi- 
cal condition  as  to  the  amount  to  use. 
A  person  20  per  cent  below  normal 
can  use  a  larger  Dortion  than  one  60 
per  cent  below  normal.  lOrdinarily  a 
piece  two  inches  square  and  a  half 
inch  thick  is  sufficient  for  one  meal. 
It  goes  (we!l  in  combination  with  dates, 
tomatoes  or  ieaf  vegetables.  Do  not 
use  cheese  with  starchy  foods;  it  is 
better  eaten  alone  than  with  bread. 

We  use  nickel  or  stainless  steel  in 
the  making  of  our  goat  milk  products, 
and  make  it  excluisively  for  the  Health 
Pood  shops  or  sell  direct  to  those  who 
believe  in  or  practice  eating  for  the 
correction  and  prevention  of  human 
ills.

FROM  THE  MAIL  BAG 

We  have  just  learned  of  an  interest- 
ing incident  of  Mr.  John  Martin  of 
West  Peabody,  Mass.,  a  member  of  the 
Essex  Group. 

One  morning  recently,  Mr.  Martin, 
to  his  great  surprise,  found  his  yoUiTig 
wether,  which  he  housed  in  a  shed  ad- 
joining his  barn,  had  been  killed.  As 
the  animal  had  been  partly  eaten  he 
felt  sure  the  culprit  would  return;  so 
he  set  a  trap.  The  next  night  more  of 
the  carcass  was  eaten.  But  on  the 
third  night  Mr.  Martin  managed  to 
reach  the  shed  in  time  to  use  his  shot- 
gun. With  the  aid  of  Mrs.  Martin 
using  the  flashlight,  he  found  that 
there  were  two  huge  dogs.  The  fol- 
lowing morning  when  the  dog  officer 
was  brought  to  the  scene,  he  informed 
the  Martins  that  the  dogs  were  wild 
and  had  done  lots  of  damage  in  the 
vicinity. 

The  County  paid  bounty  on  each  of 
the  dogs  and  Mr.  Martin  was  re- 
imbursed for  the  loss  of  his  fjoat.

A  good  start  has  been  made  in  en- 
listing those  interested  in  organiz- 
ing a  Goat  Herd  Health  Association, 
as  suggested  in  the  March  issue  of  tha 
"News".  It  is  the  opinion  of  the  vet- 
erinarians already  questioned  that  at 
least  fifty  members  would  be  neces- 
sary in  order  to  make  possible  a  year- 
ly fee  that  would  be  within  the  pocket- 
book  of  most  goat  ow.niers  in  this  state. 
If  you  are  interested  let  your  delegate 
know  so  that  somethin"-  can  be  done  in 
regards  to  this  at  the  Council  Meetmg. 


Mrs.  iJ.  E.  W.  Sumner  of  Lakeville, 
P.  O.  Middleboro,  Mass.,  has  for- 
warded her  recipe  for  chevon.  Chevon, 
roasted,  boiled  or  fried,  scraps  or  any- 
lean  portions  make  tasty  "hamberger" 
patties.  Ground  and  seasoned  meat 
loaves,  stews  and  gravies  all  mav  be 
made.  When  meat  is  cut  up  in  pieces 
suitable  for  cooking,  the  bonv.  less 
desirable  pieces  are  boiled  and  made 
into  mincemeat  as  follows: 

Pare,  core  and  chop  four  pounds  of 
apples;  combine  with  2  lbs.  leain.  boiled 
and  chopped  chevon,  2V2  lbs.  raisins.  4

Council;  a  speaker  from  the  Goat 
Clinic  at  Waltham  has  promised  to  be 
on  hand;  the  Association  members 
should  benefit  by  attending,  so  send  in 
your  reservations  early. 

We  hope  the  Goat  Dairy  Industry  in 
general  is  experiencing  tocreased  ac- 
tivity. At  our  last  meeting  several 
new  memberships  were  accepted,  and 
members  also  reported  increased  in- 
quiries to  supply  goat  milk. 

Cur  last  two  meetings  have  been 
devoted  to  a  discussion  of  current 
problems  relating  to  goat  raising. 

Within  the  last  few  years  members 
have  constructed  floors  for  their  goat 
pens  with  a  slight  pitch  in  the  flooring 
toward  the  gutter  to  aid  in  clean- 
liness. This  practice  was  discussed  as 
to  the  effect  it  might  have  on  the  pre- 
mature dropping  of  the  womb  in  the 
pregnant  animal.  The  conclusion  ar- 
rived at  on  the  basis  of  the  experi- 
ence of  our  membership  was  that  a 
goat  that  showed  such  a  weakness 
would  develop  this  trouble  regardless 
of  the  type  of  floor.  Animals  should 
be  given  plenty  of  exercise  to  streng- 
then their  muscles  and  thereby  pre- 
vent this  trouble. 

Another  problem  discussed  was  the 
practice  of  eliminating  the  grain  from 
the  ration  for  a  period  prior  to  kid- 
ding. It  was  the  ge««ral  opinion  that 
such  a  practice  might  have  a  deti;i- 
mental  effect  on  the  proper  develop- 
ment of  the  kids  and  the  condition  of 
the  doe.  Here  again  exercise  for  the 
doe  was  recommended  to  keep  her  in 
proper  condition. 

The  question  of  milk  substitutes  for 
feeding  kids  was  another  topic  of  the

NEW    ENGLAND   GOAT   NEWS 


MAIL  BAG 

Mr.  Quincy  A.  Shaw,  2nd.  of  Prides 
Crossing,  has  recently  received  the 
first  shipment  of  a  herd  of  purebred 
Toggenburgs  from  Mrs.  Carl  Sand- 
burg, Harbcrt,  Michigan.  It  is  pos- 
sibly too  early  to  predict  what  it  will 
me;in  to  the  goat  and  goat  milk  in- 
dustiT  here  in  this  part  of  the  country 
but  we  in  Essex  County  are  indeed 
fortunate  in  having  such  a  combina- 
tion —  the  enthusiasm  of  Mr.  Shaw 
plus  the  quality  stock  of  Mrs.  Sand- 
burg. 


Unusual  circumstances  arc  really 
necessary  before  such  amazing  facts 
about  the  keeping  dualities  of  goats' 
milk,  such  as  Miss  Farley  wrote  about 
recently,  are  revealed.  In  order  to 
keep  some  of  the  honor  of  the  keep-a- 
thon  here  and  not  have  the  South  reap 
all  the  glory,  I  write  of  an  incident  of 
about  a  year  ago. 

Each  evening  a  quart  of  goa*^s'  milk 
was    purchased,    per    order,    from    a

large  market.  On  the  night  that 
makes  the  story,  a  fire  and  explosion 
ruined  the  store  before  the  milk  was 
called  for.  The  show  case  containing 
it  along  with  butter  and  eggs  was  cut 
off  from  the  refrigerating  system  and 
sent  headlong  into  the  cellar.  For  a 
week  men  worked  to  make  way 
through  the  debris  for  inspectors  to 
lass  judgment  on  the  condition  of  the 
furnishings.  When  the  inspectors 
orencd  the  case,  the  butter  was  a 
melted  mass  over  the  entire  end  of  the 
shelf  and  the  milk  bottle  was  partly 
.-ubmerged  in  it.  A  workman,  know- 
ing the  pleasure  in  a  drink  of  the 
Kquid,  suggested  sampling  the  milk 
a;ul  was  promptly  told  by  the  officials 
to  throw  the  "sour  stuff"  away.  Not 
to  be  daunted,  he  took  a  cautious  sip 
and  pronounced  it  sweet.  lie  and  the 
inspectors  found  it  good  enough  to 
warrant  finishing  the  rest  of  that 
quart  right  on  the  spot.  The  re- 
mark was  made  by  the  officials  that 
goats'  milk  must  have  a  low  bacteria 
count  to  withstand  such  ti-eatment 
and  remain  sweet.  They  seemed  quite 
as  happy  as  we  were  to  see  milk  with- 
stand such  abuse.

Each  New  England  State,  with  the 
exception  of  Vermont,  has  organ- 
ized goat  breeders  associations.  In 
Vermont  there  is  a  goodly  number  of 
goat  breeders,  some  very  well  estab- 
lished. Through  the  efforts  of  Mrs. 
Esther  M.  Haywood,  Mr.  Bailey 
Brown,  Springfield,  and  Mr.  Wm.  J. 
Cassin  of  Chester  and  others  it  is 
hoped  that  a  fine  association  will  be 
organized  soon  in  the  state  of

The  June  meeting  of  the  Essex 
County  Milk  Go)at  Breeders  Associa- 
tion will  be  held  on  Friday  evening, 
June  13th.  This  will  be  Middlesex 
University  Nig'ht  and  the  speakers 
will  be  from  the  Veterinary  Depart- 
ment of  that  institution. 

The  meeting  will  be  held  at  8:30 
P.  M.  instead  of  at  8  o'clock.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  change  of  time  will 
enable  more  people  to  meet  with  us. 
The  ifirst  part  of  the  evening  will  be 
given  over  to  the  guest  speakers,  Dr.

business  meeting  will  follow. 


EASTERN  CONNECTICUT  DAIRY 
GOAT  ASS'N.  JUNE  14  —  AT  THE 
UNIVERSITY     OF    CONNECTICUT 

Tills  summer  meeting  is  called  for 
2:00  P.  M.,  June  14,  in  front  of  the 
Community  House,  in  a  very  nice 
giove.  If  weather  is  rainy  the  Com- 
munity House  will  be  available.  Pro- 
fessor Brown  and  Professor  White 
will  address  the  groups  and  discuss 
the  possibilities  of  getting  a  goat  ex- 
perimental plant  to  operate  in  the 
future.  Speakers  will  also'  be  present 
from  Middlesex  University  in  Massa- 
chusetts. 

Recently,  President  Whitman,  Mrs. 
Baldwin  and  Mr.  W.  G.  Bruce  met 
with  the  University  staff  and  came 
to  some  very  definite  conclusions  as 
to  how  tlie  dairy  department  can  be 
of  service  to  goat  breeders.  The  as- 
sociation should  make  every  effort 
for  a  large  attendance,  as  here  is  the 
chance  of  having  real  cooperation 
from  the  University.  All  the  differ- 
ent allied  lines  are  verj'  much  inter- 
ested in  our  proposition  and  we  must 
do  our  share  of  cooperating. 

Tell  your  friends  and  neighbors  in 
the  goat  fraternity  about  the  meeting 
but  above  all— BE  THERE!

Committee  Member.

ESTABLISHING    A    PRACTICAL 
BUCK  INDEX 

Based    on    a    Talk   Given   Before   the 
South     Eastern     and     Plymouth 
Bristol    Goat    Breeders    Associa- 
tions   of    Massachusetts    lat    the

School,  May  11,  1941,  by

An  index  is  something  that  points. 
It  is  not  a  guarantee  of  anything.    In 
the   case   of  a   buck   index   it  merely 
gives      the      probable      transmitting 
power  of  the  buck  in  question.     It  is, 
however,  a  scientific  method,  and  the 
method    of    science    is    a    method    of 
measuring  and  keeping  data.     It  is  a 
dull,  plodding  method,  but  it  is  sure 
in  its  results. 

I  began  collecting  data  on  bucks  for 
my  own  use.  I  found  that  every  buck 
owner  had  the  "best"  buck.  Of 
course  he  thought  his  was  the  best 
buck  oir  he  would  not  have  had  him. 
But  almost  no  one  could  show  me 
anything  that  told  how  good  his  buck 
was.  I  have,  for  instance,  the  ped- 
igree of  a  buck  to  which  I  expect  to 
breed  one  of  my  best  does.  In  his 
pedigree,  colors  of  the  does  are  given 
back  to  point  of  importation;  but  on- 
ly on  the  mother  and  one  grandmoth- 
er is  there  any  informiation  on  milk 
yield.  These  latter  figures  are  very 
impressive;  but  on  analysis  it  is 
found  that  they  went  from  a  fourteen 
pound  peak  day  down  to  from  three 
to  five  pounds  at  nine  months.  If  you 
want  a  flood  of  milk  this  is  fi,ne;  if 
you  are  looking  for  long  lactation 
these  a,rxestors  are  of  no  help.  In 
any    case,     this     information     shouid

VIC  CULLINGTON 

Since  the  first  editioini  of  the  New 
'EngTatid  Goat  News  in  July,  1939,  the 
name  "A''ic"  Cullington  has  meant  the 
News  and  the  News  has  meant  "Vic" 
Cullingtom,  They  were  one  and  the 
same  in  everyone's  mind.  Perhaps 
the  simplest  way  to  explain  what  has 
happened  is  to  print  the  letter  which 
was  sent  out  to  every  association  on 
May  seventh;  and  the  simplest  way  to 
explain  how  everybody  felt  is  to  print 
the  letter  which  one  of  the  associa- 
tions sent  to  Vic  when'  they  heard  the 
bad  news. 

Copy   of  Letter  to  Secretaries  of  all 
Associations 

May  7,  1941 
Dear  Secretary: 

The  last  issue  of  the  News  had  lal- 
ready  gone  to  press,  when  our  editor, 
Vic  Cullington,  had  a  letter  from  the 
labor  union  to  which  he  belongs  (and 
must  belong  in  order  to  keep  his  iob), 
saying  that  according  to  the  rules  of 
the  union,  he  cannot  serve  as  editor 
of  the  News,  even  for  one  more  issue. 

This  wias  a  bitter  blow  to  us  all,  as 
Vic  has  done  a  wonderful  piece  of 
work.  He  it  was  who  conceived  the 
idea  of  the  paper,  financed  it  out  of 
his  own  pocket,  and  ably  aided  by 
Mrs.  CuUin'gton,  did  all  the  hard  work, 
month  after  month,  of  getting  the 
paper  printed,  folded  and  mailed,  of 
selling  advertising  space,  of  collecting 
the  money  owed,  and  taking  on  his 
shoulders  all  the  criticism. 

At  its  last  meeting,  the  Council  ap- 
pointed a  Publication  Committee  (Mr. 
Kellogg,  Mr.  McGauley  and  Miss 
Farley)  to  help  Vic  with  the  News. 
On  May  first,  this  publication  Com- 
mittee and  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  Council  met  in  joint  sessionii  and 
voted  to  continue  the  News  under  the 
management  of  the  Committee  assist- 
ed by  Mrs.  Campbell,  Mr.  Seaver,  Mr. 
Harry  Williamson  and  Mr.  Bennett, 
Vic  will  stand  by  to  help  us  with 
friendly  advice  and  technical  know- 
ledge, within  the  limitations  pre- 
scribed by  his  union. 

The  News  is  as  pood  as  association 


members  make  it.  It  is  your  paper. 
The  world  is  made  up  of  those  who 
know  how  to  build  and  of  those  who 
only  know  how  to  tear  down.  We  need 
the  help  of  everyone  who  knows  how 
to  build,  that  we  may,  in  making  a 
new  start,  build  wisely  for  the  good 
of  the  greatest  number.  We  will  be 
grateful  for  your  contributions,  for 
your  aid  in  getting  advertisements 
and  subsciptions.  Tell  us  what  you 
want  and  what  you  like.  Send  your 
contribution  to  lany  member  of  the 
committee.  The  News  office  will  now 
be  the  same  as  the  office  of  the  Corp- 
eration,  Zicai's  Lane,  Sherborn. 

IF    YOU   ARE    A    BUILDER    UP- 
PER  LET   US   HEAR   FROM   YOU! 
ON  OR  BEFORE  THE  15TH! 
Sincerely   yours, 
Mary  L.   Farley,    Secretary 

Copy  of  Letter  to  Vic  Cullington 
May  12,  1941. 
Dear  Mr.  Cullington: 

The  silence  that  prevailed  over  our 
gathering  lafter  the  reading  of  the 
letter  announcing  your  inability  to 
continue  with  the  New  Bnglaind  Goat 
News  because  of  Union  ren:ulations. 
was  mute  testimony  of  the  great 
shock  and  the  sorrow  we  felt  over  the 
statement. 

It  was  unanimously  voted,  during 
our  meeting,  to  send  you  a  word  of 
deep  appreciation  for  your  efforts  on 
the  News.  'We  hope  you  will  find  it 
possible  in  the  inear  future  to  carry 
on,  at  least  in  part,  with  your  past 
activities  in  the  dairy  goats'  behalf 
and  that  j'ou  won't  have  to  give  up 
the  fruits  of  your  labors  completely. 
Meanwhile  the  members  of  Middle- 
sex Association  will  do  all  in  their 
power  to  aid  the  new  directors  of 
the  paper  im  keeping  it  as  acceptable 
in  coming  issues  as  you  would  desire 
it  to  bo. 

You  were  missed  lat  our  meeting  on 
May  7th.  Surplv,  Vic,  you  will  be  al- 
lowed to  contribute  to  the  News  as 
our  Publicity  Director.  We  will  be 
looking  for  you  on  June  4th. 

Please  count  on  us  as  being  ready 
to  do  our  bit  to  reinstate  you  as  Edit- 


or  of   the   New   England   Goat   News 
should  such  an   opportunity  arise. 
Gratefully  yours, 
Janet  H.   Hopf,   Secretary, 
Middlesex  County  Milk  Goat 

Breeder's  Association. 


To  the  Readers  of  the  New  England 
Goat  News: 

>At  this  time,  I  feel  that  an  explam- 
tion  is  due  all  readers  of  the  ''News" 
as  to  just  why  I  have  released  the 
duties  of  the  New  England  Goat 
News. 

The  task  of  creating  this  paner 
has  been  very  trying  as  I  have  had  to 
start  from  scnatch.  Some  have  helped, 
some  have  criticized,  while  manv 
others  have  done  nothing  at  all.  Many 
of  the  latter  have  proved  to  be  the 
greater  drawback.  However,  do  not 
thiink  I  am  complaining — ^I  nierely 
want  to  state  the  facts. 

The  "News"  has  taken  up  very 
much  of  my  time,  which  I  do  not  re- 
gret in  the  least.  Now  it  is  necessary 
that  I  devote  more  time  to  family 
matters.  I  am  sure  that  Miss  Farley 
will  be  able  to  carry  on  much  better 
than  I.  My  interests  will  remain 
with  the  paper  and  I  am  anxious  to 
see  it  expand  tremendously.  In  the 
past  I  have  advocated  constructive 
criticism — now  it  is  my  turn  to  prac- 
tice what  I  have  preached. 

May    many    successful   years    com'e 
for  the   Now  England   Goat  News! 
Sincerely, 
Victor  E.  Cullington.

WHAT  I  WOULD  LIKE  TO  SEE 
IN  THE  NEWS 

We  wrote  to  the  secretai-y  of  each 
association  and  asked  for  his  or  her 
personal  viewpoint  on  "What  I 
Would  Like  to  See  in  the  NEWS". 
Following  are  the  letters  which  we 
received  and  we  appreciate  the  co- 
operation of  these  people  who  took 
time  to  sit  down  and  write  us  what 
they  thought.

fine    grades  •■•......

WHOLESALE  GOATS 


"The  News  today  is  a  fine  paper 
and  well  run,  containing  about  the 
variety  of  items  that  I  enjoy,  i  un- 
derstand that  the  new  comiiiittee  still 
believes  ia  the  'freedom  of  the  press' 
and  will  continue  to  include  items  of 
interest  from  any  one." 

Maurice  Hansel. 


Before  this  article  goes  along  and 
writes  itself,  I  want  to  say  this  isn't 
a  self-inflicted  duty  or  a  personally 
chosen  topic,  therefore  from  now 
on  I  can't  predict  what  this  pen  will 
do. 

It  seems  we  all  like  a  certain- 
amouimt  of  gossip.  When  we  see 
names  in  print  of  persons  we  know  it 
stimulates  our  interest  to  read  on  to 
see  what  they  have  been  doing.  Ac- 
tivities of  strangers  with  a  mutual 
interest  makes  me  feel  I  wiant  to  meet 
them. 

The  (meeting  communications  are 
undoubtedly  helpful  and  necessary,, 
but  T  do  wonder  if  they  couldn't  be 
placed  on  an  inside  page,  thus  leav- 
ing- the  front  one  open  for  the  news 
feature,  which  I  hope  each  issue  will 
contain. 

Has  anyone  else  ever  felt  a  few 
cuts  would  improve  the  appearance  of 
our  News?  Maybe  this  is  about 
where  I  should  "start  to  pull  in  my 
neck"^ — if  the  suggestions  mean  added 
work  for  the  already  busy  publishing 
committee. 

The  programs  and  activities  of  the 
various  associations  offer  interesting 
reading  along  with  putting  ideas  in 
the  heads  of  program  committees  all 
over  this   section. 

It  seems  the  ladies  must  all  enjoy 
the  recipes;  and  we  all  profit  by 
other's  experiences  in  handling  and 
caring  for  their  animals. 

Down  around  our  way  we  are  apt  to 
travel  miles  to  see  an  attractive  barn 
or  some  good  looking  goats.  Maybe 
occasionally  a  few  lines  could  be  de- 
voted to  announcing  the  presence  of 
a  new  barn  or  the  purchase  of  differ- 
ent stock  by  some  enterprising  herds- 
man. 

Come    here,    pen,    it    is    time    you 


turned  to  other  duties,  but  first  let's 
say  the  News  is  good  and  steadily 
growing  better.

One  thing  I  would  NOT  like  to  see 
is  a  Veterinary  Column.  I  do  not 
mean  to  belittle  the  good  work  done 
in  some  cases  by  such  colunms;  but 
so  often  there  is  insufficient  infor- 
mation given  on  which  to  base  a  cor- 
rect diagnosis.  I  have  in  mind  a  case 
several  years  ago  of  twin  kids  with 
decided  swellings  in  the  neck.  I 
wrote  one  of  the  n'uagazine  columns 
and  received  a  very  prompt  answer  to 
the  effect  that  it  was  goitre,  and  the 
detailed  and  rather  costly  treatment 
for  it.  A  goat  minded  friend  saved 
me  from  carrying  out  the  expense  and 
bother  of  unnecessary  treatment  by 
advising  me  to  take  the  kids  to  Dr. 
Dailey  of  the  Angell  Memorial  Hos- 
pital.   It  was  only  a  case  of  misplaced 


5alivery  glands  which  would  and  did 
disappear    with    maturity. 

Robert  H.  Campbell. 

What  I  would  like  to  see  in  the 
NEWS  is  almost  anything  to  build  up 
the  Goat  business.  We  ssem  at  rather 
a  standstill  at  present  and  it  should 
go  up,  mot  down,  as  things  at  a 
standstill  are  apt  to. 
■  I  do  think  that  wie  can  use  the 
NEWS  to  help  build  up  the  business 
if  we  all  put  ads  in  of  goats  we  have 
for  sale,  milk,  and  so  on.  Also  news 
of  new  feeds  we  find  they  like,  and 
where  to  buy  it.

The  Middlesex  County  Milk  Goat 
Breeders'  Association  has  plans  under 
way  for  a  tour  of  goat  barns  in  land 
around  Ashby,  Mass.  on  Sunday, 
June  8th.  All  are  invited.  Further 
details  at  the  next  Middlesex  meeting 
or    upon    request    to    their    secretary. 

Watch  for  details  about  la  buck  ex- 
hibit to  be  held  in  Billerica  during 
July  by  the  Middlesex  Association. 
All  purebred  bucks  i(\vith  or  without 
get)  are  invited. 

Members  of  Middlesex  are  very 
happy  to  see  members  of  other  organ- 
izations present  at  their  meetings. 
On  May  7th,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edmands, 
Mr.  Ellis,  land  Mrs.  Kay  and  guests 
were  noticed  in  the  assembly.  Please 
come  again  and  bring  others. 

There  are  sure  to  be  better 
groomed  goats  from  this  section  in 
shows  this  year.  Miss  Mary  Farley 
told  how  best  to  clip  and  train  an- 
imals to  iappear  to  advantage  in  the 
ring.  Mrs.  Butterfield  of  Framing- 
ham  furnished  two  kids  as  models  for 
Miss  Farley  to  illustrate  her  points 
upon.  More  than  fifty  persons  were 
present  at  the  meeting  to  benefit  by 
her  talk. 


The  Essex  Association  was  fortun-

Woeffler  spoke  on  "Mastitis"  and 
those  who  were  present  heard  a  very 
comprehensive  talk  on  the  subject. 


The  Council  Secretary  had  la  most 
interesting  visit  early  in  May  from 
Dr.  Helen  R.  Hosner,  who  is  in 
charge  of  St.  Mary's  River  Hospital, 
of  the  International  Grenfell  Associa- 
tion at  Biattle  Harbor,  Labrador. 
Milk,  canned  at  that  and  measured  by 
.he  teaspoonful,  is  a  luxury  only  for 
the  very  wealthy  or  for  hospitalized 
patients.  She  has  been  experiment- 
ing with  goats  in  a  small  way  and  be- 
lieves that  they  will  be  the  answer  to 
the  hospital  milk  nroblem.  She  was 
eager  to  take  back  one  or  two  very 
fine  buck  kids  with  her  when  she 
sailed  en  May  18th.  It  is  interest- 
ing that  during  the  best  part  of  the 
summer,  goats  have  to  be  kept  in  a 
screened  barn  and  green  feed  has  to 
be  cut  and  brought  in  to  them  as  the 
flies  are  so  very  bad  that  goats  will 
not  feed  for  a  minute  outdoors. 
When  the  fly  season  is  over,  dry 
goats  and  young  ones  are  put  on  an 
island  where  thei-e  is  pasture  and 
fresh  water,  to  keep  them  safe  from 
the  fierce  sled  dogs  which  greatly  out- 
number the  goats. 

People  in  that  part  of  Labrador 
live  almost  entirely  on  meat  and  fish 
and  have  a  diet  so  low  in  calcium 
that  there  is  scarcely  an  adult  with 
a  usable  set  of  teeth.  Dr.  Hosmer  is 
doctor,  dentist  ;and  veterinery  for  the 
community.  She  is  taking  back  chick- 
ens, vegetable  seeds  and  the  begin- 
nings of  a  herd  of  goats,  hoping  to  be 
able  to  teach  them  to  raise  those 
things  which  will  give  them  a  more 
varied  diet  and  therefore  better 
health.  The  next  time  that  you  sit 
down  to  a  meal  with  carrots  or  cab- 
bage and  potatoes,  topped  off  with  a 
big  glass  of  goat's  milk,  remember 
that  you  are  eating  a  meal  that  would 
be  a  rare  luxury  even  for  the 
•  ,,6althy  in  Labrador.

Establishing  A  Pratical  Buck  Index 

(Continued    from    Page    One) 

have  been  given  directly  instead  of 
my  having  to  deduce  it  from  my  di- 
agram. 

Prof.  Yapp  of  the  University  of 
Nev/  Mexico  uses  an  index  that  is 
hia'hiy  aacurate  but  difficult  to  eet. 
He  bleeds  the  buck  to  a  series  of  does 
and  comparas  the  yield  of  daughters 
of  these  does  to  that  of  tlieir  mothers. 
An  average  between  the  buck's  index 
and  the  average  yield  of  the  mothers 
gives  the  laverage  yield  of  the  daugh- 
ters. Let  us  say  that  the  average 
yield  of  the  mothers  is  1200  lbs.  a 
year,  and  the  average  yield  of  the 
daughters  is  1400  lbs.  a  year.  The 
buck's  index  is  then  1600  lbs.,  because 
to  increase  the  yield  of  the  daughters 
over  their  mothers  from  1200  to  1400 
lbs.  he  must  have  had  a  correspond- 
ingly higher  transmitting  power,  400 
lbs.  hig-her  than  the  mothers.  This 
index  is  difficult  to  get  because  you 
must  have  records  of  all  the  daugh- 
ters, rx>t  just  the  best  ones,  and  it 
would  be  three  years  before  the  buck 
could  be  rated,  in  which  time  a  good 
many  poor  does  might  have  been  pro- 
duced if  he  were  not  of  good  quality. 
This  is  obviously  beyond  us. 

Prof.  Rice  of  the  Massachusetts 
State  College  shows  that  this  index 
foT  bulls  can  be  deduced  from  the 
bull's  pedigree.  Six  tenths  the  yield 
of  the  iflrst  generation  back  plus  four 
tenths  the  average  yield  of  the  second 
generation  equals  the  bull's  index. 
My  oiw.n.  observation  is  that  children 
often  inherit  more  from  their  grand- 
parenits  than  from  their  parents, 
and  by  Prof.  Rioe's  own  figures,  a 
straight  avei'age  is  moi'e  accurate. 
Hence,  I  believe  that  if  we  took  three 
generations  of  does  on  either  side  of 
lbs  tuck's  ancestry  and  averaged 
the  total,  we  might  have  a  very  useful 
figure  for  our  purposes,  as  this  would 
lend  to  level  down  exceptional  indi- 
^'iduals.  It  is  hardly  justifiable  to 
go  much  farther  back  than  that 
because  characteristics  have  a  tend- 
ency to  shuffle  out  in  the  breeding. 

We  should,  however,  keep  much 
more  complete  records  than  are  at 
present  being  kept.  We  should  know, 
for  instance,  the  size  and  length  of 
the  a.nimal,  the  shape  of  the  udders, 
the  size  of  the  teats,  the  animal's 
colors,  the  amount  of  milk  given  in  a 
year,  and  the  rate  at  which  it  is  given, 
that  is,  whether  it  is  a  large  flow  tap- 
ering off  to  practically  nothing  or 
whether  the  flow  is  more  or  less  con-

tinuous.  We  should  know  if  there 
is  any  tendency  to  hermaphrodites 
and  the  number  of  kids  generally  nro- 
duced,— also  the  sex  ration  of  the  kids 
— whether  there  are  more  does  or 
bucks  born;  we  should  know  whether 
they  are  horned  or  hornless,  and 
whether  they  have  wattles — because 
this  latter  may  possibly  be  linked  to 
the  milk  supply. 

The  question  comes  up  of  the  pos- 
sibility of  somieone  not  being  honest 
in  the  figures  he  keeps.  That  is  of 
course  always  possible,  and  is  no  rea- 
son for  giving  up  such  a  program. 
There  is  a  tendency,  however,  for  any 
of  us  to  exaggerate  when  mo  actual 
figures  are  kept — ^I  find  my  approxi- 
mate figures  always  have  to  be  scaled 
down  in  the  light  of  my  records,  and  I 
should  not  expect  anyone  else  to  be 
better  than  I  am.  Hence  we  can  dis- 
count some  of  the  very  high  rough 
figures  that  come  to  us,  without  seri- 
ously impairing  the  usefulness  of  our 
results. 

The  purpose  of  such  a  program  is 
to  benefit  the  industry.  It  is  not  to 
advertise  any  particular  buck  or  to  de- 
tract from  any  other  buck.  Desirable 
characteristics  are  so  varied  that 
what  may  he  the  perfect  buck  to  one 
man  might  be  far  from  perfect  for 
another.  Moreover,  no  particular 
buck  should  under  any  circumstances 
be  recommended  by  those  holding  the 
figures — merely  his  index  and  his  in- 
heritance should  be  given,  amd  the 
applicant  allowed  to  judge  for  him- 
self. 

The  state  should  be  a  large  enough 
geographical  unit  for  our  purpose, 
and  if  some  state  body  were  to  keep 
the  data,  calculate  the  figures,  and 
give  copies  of  the  results  to  all  the 
associations,  it  would  greatly  facil- 
itate the  finding  of  the  type  of  buck 
you  want  to  breed  from,  within  rea- 
sonable distance  of  your  home.  lA 
small  fee  from  the  buck  owner  would 
probably  cover  the  expenses  involved.

FARM    AND    HOME   WEEK 

The  program  for  Farm  and  Home 
Week's  Goat  Breeders  Day  has  just 
been  announced.  We  feel  that  Mr. 
Seaver,  the  chairman  of  the  commit- 
tee, the  Extension  Sei-vice,  and  the 
Massachusetts  State  Co'.lege  are  to  be 
highly  congratulated  on  the  splendid 
program  they  are  offering  us.  It 
looks  like  the  best  ever,  and  no  goat 
enthusiast  will  wish  to  miss  it. 
Many  names  are  familiar  ones,  such 
as  Mrs.  Cai-1  Sandburg,  and  they  have 
been  included  by  popular  request. 
Mr.  W.  H.  Demarest,  who  is  to  sneak 
on  legislation,  is  the  president  of  the 
New  Jersey  Milk  Goat  Assoc,  Inc.; 
these  are  the  people  who  really  did 
something  about  legislation  and  set 
a  stamdard  that  other  states  may  well 
emulate.

Goats  At  Eastern 
States  Exposition 

After  several  years  of  effort  on  the  part 
of  goat  owners,  the  management  of  the 
Eastern  States  Exposition  has  invited 
goat  owners  of  the  Northeastern  States 
to  hold  a  goat  show  during  Exposition 
week  which  this  year  is  September  14th 
to   20th  inclusive. 

Not  everyone  can  comprehend  the  im- 
portance of  this  announcement.  The 
Eastern  States  Exposition  is  the  major 
Industrial  and  Agricultural  exhibit  in  the 
eastern  part  of  the  United  States.' Nor- 
mally over  300,000  people  attend  this 
show  during  the  week;  the  exhibitors 
come  from  the  ten  Northeastern  States  of 
Maine,  New  Hampshire.  Vermont,  Massa- 
chusetts, Connecticut,  Rhode  Island.  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and 
Delaware;  and  the  coming  events  of  this 
Exposition  are  publicized  in  over  300 
publications  throughout  the  country. 
These  facts  alone  should  be  proof  that  a 
successful  goat  ishow  in  connection  with 
this  Exposition  will  do  much  to  educate 
the  country  to  the  value  of  the  goat  and 
her   products. 

The  publicity  angle  of  this  show  can 
get  under  way  immediately  through  the 
cooperation  of  prospective  exhibitors.  The 
Exposition  management  requests  glossy

FARM  AND  HOME  WEEK 
MASS.   STATE  COLLEGE 

I  hope  you  are  all  making  your  plans 
to  be  at  the  goat  meeting:  you  have  seen 
the  list  of  speakers.  Every  one  on  the 
list  will  have  a  real  message  which  I  know 
you  will  not  want  to  miss. 

Mr.  Moser  of  the  College  has  done 
everything  possible  to  give  us  this  pro- 
gram. How  I  hope  you  will  show  your 
appreciation  to  him  and  the  college  by 
making  this  the  largest  group  of  goat 
people  to  attend  this  yearly  meeting. 

O.  L.  Seaver. 


THE   RESPONSIBILITY 
OF  THE  SPONSOR 

When  an  individual  wishes  to  become 
an  official  judge  of  goats,  he  makes  ap- 
plication to  the  Council  Secretary  and  his 
application  is  also  signed  by  six  associa- 
tion members  who  are  his  sponsors.  A 
letter  then  goes  to  each  of  the  sponsors 
asking  why  he  believes  the  applicant  will 
make  a  good  judge  of  goats.  It  actually 
reads  "On  what  do  you  base  your  opinion 
of  Mr.  Blank's  qualifications  for  becom- 
ing an  accredited  judge  of  goats."  When 
the  six  replies  are  received  from  the  six 
sponsors,  they  are  acted  on  by  the 
Judges'   Committee. 

The  plan  of  having  sponsors  originated 
from  the  idea  that  if  six  people  who  knew 
a  man  were  of  the  honest  opinion,  which 
they  were  willing  to  express  in  writing, 
hat  he  would  imake  a  satisfactory  judge 
of  goats,  he  should  certainly  be  given  a 
trial  and  a  temporary  license.  When  he 
has  judged  three  shows,  at  least  one  of 
which  should  be  for  all  ages  and  all  breeds 
of  goats,  the  Judges'  Committee  will  a- 
gain  vote  upon  his  application  for  a  per- 
manent  license. 

Within  the  last  year,  the  secretary  has 
written  sixty  letters  to  sponsors  and  in 
only  two  instances  have  all  six  sponsors

Milk  Goats  And 
Mink  Raising 

By   Mr.   Earnest   Kelly,   Shelburne,   Mass. 

I  can  well  start  by  saying  that  things 
aren't  always  what  they  seem  to  be. 
Mink  ranching  seems  easy  only  to  those 
who  are  not  acquainted  with  it.  I  have 
cared  for  Mink   for  about   four  years. 

Last  summer  there  were  over  four 
hundred.  Yet.  ofttimes.  I  feel  as  though 
groping  in  the  dark  when  trouble  descends 
not  withstanding  these  years  of  experience 
I  have  learned  something.  There  is  a 
place   for   goat   milk   in   Mink   raising. 

Female  mink  aren't  very  large,  will 
weigh  a  pound  or  a  pound  and  a  half, 
and  their  production  of  milk  will  not 
compare  with  your  Toggles  or  Saanens. 
The  baby  mink,  born  after  approximately 
fifty  days  gestation  period  are  very  small, 
(about  as  large  as  a  lady's  little  finger)  , 
pink,  and  quite  tender.  There  may  be 
one  or  up  to  ten  of  them  and  they  bring 
an  appetite  with  them.  However  small, 
five  or  six  of  the  little  devils  can  make 
considerable  noise  squeaking  for  eats  and 
umbling  about  in  search  of  a  parent. 

If  there  are  only  two  or  three  babies, 
the  female  mink  can  usually  product 
enough  to  feed  them  a  month  or  longer 
before  she  teaches  her  children  to  eat  the 
same  ration  the  female  receives.  Large 
litters  often  do  not  fare  as  well  and  a 
trained  ear  can  tell  by  the  tone  of  the 
young  ones  squeaks  whether  or  not  they 
are   hungry. 

Goat  milk  used  as  the  moisture  content 
in  the  adults  ration  works  wonders  in 
helping  to  save  large  litters  through  main^ 
raining  the  mother's  milk  flow.  I  have; 
seen  baby  mink  a  week  or  so  old  that 
were  shriveled  like  prunes  from  starva-> 
tion.  Less  than  a  week  after  starting 
giving  the  female  milk  in  a  tray  the

SONGS  ABOUT  GOATS  ? 


Has  anyone  any  songs  about  Goats? 
Mrs.  V.  Byron  Bennett  of  Heartbreak 
Hill,  Ipswich,  is  making  a  collection  of 
goat  folk  songs  and  would  appreciate  any 
help  in  finding  more  of  them.  (In  any 
language)  She  promises  to  be  very  care- 
ful of  the  original  manuscripts  and  to 
eturn    them    in    good   order.

EDITORIAL 

WE  BELIEVE  that  this  country  is  experiencing  and  will  continue  to  experi- 
ence a  social   and  economic  change  of  tre.mendous  proportions. 

WE  BELIEVE  that  the  small  farmer,  if  he  understands  his  responsibility  and 
his  opportunity,  can  be  the  greatest  force  in  the  country  today  toward  re-building 
and   re-directing   its   future  growth   in  new  channels. 

WE  BELIEVE  that  the  goat  associations  who  support  the  News  represent  a 
group  of  these  small  farmers,  who  can  become  a  powerful  economic  and  social 
force,  because  they  have  shown  their  ability  to  work  together  as  a  unit  and  have  been 
too  wise  to  let  any  individual  who  has  only  his  selfish  interests  at  heart  destroy  the 
unity  of  the  group. 

WE  BELIEVE  that  the  News  can  be  made  to  truly  express  the  ideas  of  this 
unified  group,  and  that  it  can  help  us  to  choose  the  wisest  course  by  an  unbiased 
presentation   of   both   sides   of  controversial   questions. 

WE  BELIEVE  that  the  News  can  be  not  only  a  good  advertising  medium, 
but  an  actual  force  in  helping  our  nation  return  to  true  democracy.  We  small 
farmers,  who  till  the  land  we  own.  who  have  that  sense  of  security  and  accomplish- 
ment that  comes  with  producing  our  own  food,  who  have  learned  to  co:mbine 
hard  work  and  wisdom  to  make  a  living:  we  are  more  important  today  than  ever 
before,  for  we  already  understand  that  fine  balance  between  perfect  freedom  and 
exact  order,  which  is  the  fundamental  basis  of  government  by  the  people.

MINK  AND  GOATS 

(Continued'  from   page  one) 

oung  were  fat.  pink  and  quiet  except 
when    playing. 

There  may  be  a  dangerous  practice  per- 
taining to  feeding  goats'  milk.  Preg- 
nant female  mink  should  not  be  given 
much  as  it  will  fatten  them  and  also  in- 
crease the  size  of  the  unborn  kits  so  as 
to  make  their  birth  impossible.  We  had 
one  case  in  which  the  female  died. 

Mink  can  have  a  variety  of  diseases 
common  to  man — pneumonia,  gall  stones, 
anemia,  scurvy,  ulcers,  etc..  so  that  par- 
ties who  keep  mink  over  a  period  of 
years  likely  run  into  trouble  from  at  least 
)ne   of   these. 

Goat  milk  may  well  be  used  as  a  health- 
ful food.  An  ounce  of  prevention,  keep- 
ing the  animals  in  condition,  unfavor- 
able to  the  development  of  the  disease, 
any  mink  that  is  sick  or  off  feed  here 
gets  goat  milk  and  perhaps  eggs  for  a  day 
or  two. 

Female  mink  with  large  litters  are  so 
taxed  that  sometimes  ane;mia  results.  Now 
what  could  be  better  used  to  advantage 
than  goat  milk  with  its  high  iron  con- 
tent! 

Last  summer  some  of  our  mink  con- 
tracted ulcers,  the  cause  of  which  we 
haven't  fully  agreed  on.  My  own  view- 
point is  that  the  diet  we  used  was  much 
too  acid. 

The  detection  of  victims  was  quite 
simple  as  the  droppings  of  the  affected 
mink  were  almost  black  with  blood  from 
ruptured  ulcers  in  the  stomach  and  in- 
testines. 

After  saving  the  life  of  one  mink  with 
goat  milk  I  collected  together  all  the  mink 
that   were   apparently   afflicted. 

They  received  no  water — just  feed  and 
goat  milk  and  their  recovery  was  speedy. 
I  was  greatly  surprised  as  some  of  them 
had  appeared  to  be  on  their  last  legs, 
wabbling   uncertainly  about. 

We  had  some  losses  of  mink  whose 
condition  was  not  detected  and  were 
getting  milk  in  the  form  of  skim  milk 
powder  in   the   ration. 

We  have  learned  the  value  of  goat  milk 
in  mink  raising  and  I  shall  know  where 
to  look  for  help  when  and  if  trouble 
comes  again  this  season.

At  Farm  and  Home  Week,  espies  of  the  Atigust  News  will  be  distributed  and 
will  reach  a  number  of  people  who  ordinarily  do  not  see  it.  For  this  reason,  it  will 
be  a  particularly  good  issue  for  advertising.  It  pays  to  keep  your  name  constantly 
before  the  public  as  a  breeder  of  goats.  If  your  ad  is  always  to  be  found  in  the 
News,  those  who  do  not  know  you  personally  soon  realize  that  you  are  not  a 
"fly-by-night"  but  a  responsible  person  who  is  doing  business  month  after  month 
and  year  after  year,

Goat  Lovers  Are 
Invited  To  Maine 


Mr.  Roy  Wilhelm  has  invited  New 
England  goat  lovers  to  visit  his  alpine 
herd  in  North  Lovell  Maine,  on  Saturday, 
August  ninth.  Bring  a  basket  lunch  and 
Mr.  Wilhelm  will  provide  coffee  for  a 
coffee  drinking  contest  —  and  such  coffee! 
Take  Route  5  to  the  store  at  North  Lov- 
ell, then  follow  the  silver  arrows.  At 
last  count,  there  were  285  goats  and  a  new 
barn  that  we  all  should  see,  to  judge  by 
the  photographs.  We  will  meet  the  Maine 
goat  folks  there,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Struven,  of  course.  If  you  have  ever 
been  there,  you  will  want  to  go  again. 
If  you  have  never  been,  don't  miss  this 
opportunity,  before  the  gasoline  gets  ra- 
tioned. You  will  see  something  to  re- 
member  all   your  life. 


JUDGE'S  SUGGESTION 


A  judge  at  a  recent  show  has  asked  us 
to  call  to  the  attention  of  exhibitors  that 
five  points  arc  awarded  for  coat,  which 
in  every  case  is  described  as  "glossy", 
but  with  varying  other  description  ac- 
cording to  the  breed.  Where  the  coat  is 
dipped  so  close  that  it  is  not  possible  to 
determine  its  texture,  its  glossiness  or  its 
flatness,  the  judge  has  no  alternative  but 
to  suppose  the  coat  was  faulty,  and  to 
penalize    the    animal    five    points.

CHARTER  MEMBER  ESSEX 
ASSOCIATION     IS     DEAD 


Charles  S.  Thomas,  a  charter  member 
of  the  Essex  County  Milk  Goat  Breeders' 
Association  passed  away  at  his  home  in 
Essex  on  July  14.  Mr.  Thomas  had 
been  in  poor  health  for  the  past  few 
months  but  we  little  realized  how  serious 
was  the  trouble.  For  several  years  past 
his  Acacia  herd  of  Toggenburgs  has  been 
a  familiar  sight  to  those  who  travel  the 
road  to  Manchester-by-the  sea.  The 
association  has  lost  a  loyal  member  and 
the  Toggenburg  breed  has  lost  a  staunch 
supporter. 


''My  Wife's  Goats'' 
Diary  Of  A  Dairy 

June  18th — This  morning  my  wife 
heard  a  woman  speak  over  the  radio  about 
goats  and  at  breakfast  time,  after  I  had 
finished  my  first  cup  of  coffee,  she  started 
in  on  me.  It  seems  this  dame  said  they 
were  the  perfect  animal  for  a  maintenance 
farm  and  my  wife  is  all  haired  up  on  this 
smaintenance  farm  idea.  Seems  to  think 
we  will  all  starve  to  death  if  we  don't 
raise  what  we  eat.  When  I  left  for  the 
office,  she  gave  me  a  post-card  to  mail, 
asking  for  a  copy  of  some  paper  that  was 
offered  over  the  air.  I  had  half  a  mind 
to  fcrget  to  mail  it,  but,  oh  well,  what 
harm  can  a  post-card  do? 

June  19th — More  talk  about  goats  this 
morning.  I  have  made  it  plain  that  if 
my  wife  wants  them,  she  can  jolly  wel: 
la!<e  care  of  them.  I  am  not  going  into 
the  office  smelling  of  goat  and  giving  the 
gang  a  laugh.  I  won't  drink  the  mJk. 
either,  and  I  am  going  to  see  Dr.  Blank 
before   I  let   her  give   it   to   the   children. 

June  20th — Terribly  hot  today.  Makes 
the  baby's  eczema  itch  worse.  She  eried 
all  night  and  I  didn't  get  imuch  sleep. 

June  22nd — That  NEW  ENGLAND 
GOAT  NEWS  has  been  on  top  of  the 
pile  of  magazines  every  time  I  have  passed 
the  library  table  for  two  days.  Less 
subtle  than  my  wife  usually  is,  but  I  still 
manage  not  to  see  it. 

June  23rd — No  more  talk  about  goats. 

June  25th — Tonight  my  wife  went  to 
bed  early.  She  has  been  up  with  the 
baby  nearly  every  night,  putting  on 
ointment  and  stuff  and  is  pretty  tired. 
My  curiosity  won  the  fight  and  I  picked 
up  that  blasted  GOAT  NEWS.  There 
is  more  to  this  thing  than  I  thought.  All 
of  a  sudden,  the  name  M.  L.  Farley, 
caught  my  eye.  There  used  to  be  a  girl 
by  that  name  in  the  Chicago  office  where 
I  worked.  She  sat  behind  a  glass  par- 
tition and  edited  the  Federal  News,  and 
by  golly,  now  I  think  of  it,  she  talked 
Bostonese  and  took  a  lot  of  ribbing  about 
it.  She  came  from  Massachusetts  and  it 
might  be  the  same  one,  but  it  doesn't 
seem  likely, — not  goats.

EDITORIAL 

In  these  days  when  the  word  "economy"  is  practically  obsolete,  the  NEWS 
blushes  to  mention  that,  taking  the  advice  of  the  majority  of  presidents  who  sent 
us  most  helpful  letters  at  our  request,  we  are  practicing  this  old  fashioned  virtue. 
Paper  and  envelopes  have  gone  up  in  price,  hence,  no  envelopes  in  some  cases.  Were 
edges  torni"  Something  to  do  with  the  Emergency  does  not  allow  paper  makers 
to  use  as  jnuch  bleach  as  formerly  in  paper  of  the  same  price,  hence  a  less  white 
paper  and  it  may  be  worse.  It  costs  money  to  send  bills  and  ads  get  the  favorable 
price  of  six  months  for  the  price  of  five,  only  when  there  is  cash  paid  in  advance 
and  the  same  ad  run  for  the  six  months.  If  you  can  think  up  another  way  to  save 
money,  write  and  tell  us.  We  wish  to  add  cuts,  and  will,  just  as  soon  as  we  have 
money  in  the  bank  to  pay  for  them,  but  we  are  balancing  our  budget  month  by 
month.  We  know  it  isn't  the  popular  way  to  do  business,  but  the  News  Committee 
believes  that  the  News  can  grow  and  prosper  on  that  basis,  so  old-fashioned  economy 
is  our  watch  word,  better  goods  in  the  package  but  not  such  fancy  wrappings.  Arc 
you  with  us? 


THANKS  OF  NEWS  COMM. 


The  News  Committee  wishes  to  thank 
the  secretaries  and  presidents  of  the  asso- 
ciations for  their  thoughtful,  helpful 
letters.  We  greatly  appreciate  the  fact 
that  these  busy  people  took  the  time  to 
think  our  problems  over  carefully  and 
give  us  valuable,  sound  advice.  Some  of 
the  presidents'  letters  will  be  published  in 
the   September  NEWS.

WINTER  WHEAT  AND  HAIRY 
VETCH 


Winter  wheat  and  vetch  will  make  an 
excellent  spring  feed  for  goats.  It  should 
be  planted  on  good  ground,  well  limed, 
during  the  month  of  September.  In  the 
spring  it  will  come  along  nearly  as  soon 
as  rye  and  is  much  more  palatable  and 
can  be  used  for  feed  for  four  to  six  weeks 
before  it  has  to  be  cut  for  hay.  It  makes 
a  good  hay  if  cut  when  the  wheat  is  in 
the  semi-solid  milk  stage.  Use  70  lbs. 
of  wheat  and  30  lbs.  of  vetch  per  acre 
or  10  lbs.  and  4  lbs.  of  each  for  J/g  of 
an  acre.  This  will  feed  6  to  8  goats  for 
the  month  of  May  and  part  of  June.

A   FEATHER  IN  THE  NEWS'   CAP 


A  young  couple  from  the  far  west  ar- 
rived in  Massachusetts  to  start  a  goat 
dairy.  They  visited  goat  dairies  all  across 
the  continent,  but  have  bought  and  are 
buying  their  goats  in  New  England  from 
ads  in  the  Goat  News.  Good  luck  and 
our  best   wishes  for  their  success. 


Evidence  of  increasing  popularity  of 
the  dairy  goat  is  seen  in  the  number  of 
articles  appearing  in  magazines  of  im- 
portance. One  of  the  more  recent  ad- 
ditions to  such  goat  literature  is  found 
in  the  July  issue  of  the  "Country  Gen- 
tleman",— "Meet  the  Dairy  Goat"  by 
Frederic  B.  Knoop.

SIXTH  ANNUAL  SHOW 

The  E  C  M  G  B  A  held  its  6th  annual 
Kid  Show  Sunday  afternoon,  July  13 
on  the  lawn  of  the  Essex  Aggie.  The 
weather  was  perfect,  the  attendance  large, 
the  judge  Allan  J.  Blackball  at  his  best 
and  the  kids.  41  of  them,  all  ready  for 
the  show.  As  usual  Alpine  entries  were 
scarce;  only  one  kid  of  this  breed  being 
shown,  a  beautiful  specimen  belonging  to 
Mr.  William  Brock.  Honors  for  greatest 
distance  traveled  would  no  doubt  go  to 
Mrs.  Miller  who  came  with  her  kids  from 
Trap  Rock  Farm  in  Deerfield,  110  miles 
away.  There  were  also  kids  from  R.  I. 
and  N.  H.  We  appreciate  such  coopera- 
tion. Prize  money  won  by  Mass.  exhibit- 
ors was  donated  by  the  Mass.  Dept.  of 
Agri.;  prize  money  won  by  out-of-state 
exhibitors  was  paid  by  the  Essex  Asso- 
ciation. Additional  prizes  of  Wirthmore 
goat  pellets  were  awarded  through  the 
kindness  of  the  Wirthmore  Grain  Co.  to 
kids   winning   second   place.

NOTES      AND      THOUGHTS 


"Jim"  Rankin,  who  is  treasurer  of  Middlesex,  brought  over  to  the  News  office 
some  copies  of  American  Standard  Milch  Goat  Keeper,  a  goat  magazine  published 
in  Lynn,  Massachusetts  beginning  in  May,  1914.  Mr.  Rankin  and  Mr.  Hastings 
were  goat  owners  then  and  Mr.  Hasting®  advertised  "Services  of  buck  out  of  4  qt. 
Saanen  doe  can  be  secured".  From  the  other  ads,  a  4  qt.  doe  was  quite  a  doc. 
(Secretly,  we  still  think  she  is  pretty  good)  .  There  are  many  cross  bred  bucks  offer- 
ed for  sale  for  $50.00. 

Quoting  from  the  August,    1914   issue;- 

"Of  the  thirty-six  agricultural  fairs  which  will  be  held  in  the  State  of  Massa- 
chusetts next  month,  at  only  one,  the  Essex,  to  be  held  at  Topsfield,  September  22nd 
to   23rd,   will  prizes  for  milch  goats  be  offered. 

"Five  of  the  fairs  offer  prizes  for  Angoras.  These  are  the  Essex,  the  Ames- 
bury  the  Framingham.the     Uxbridge  and  the  Brockton. 

"The  New  York  State  Fair,  to  be  held  at  Syracuse,  August  3 1  to  September 
5th  also  offer  prizes  for  Angoras  but  not  for  milch  goats." 

No  wonder  Topsfield  Fair's  Goat  Show  stays  right  out  in  the  foreground,  al- 
ways one  step  ahead.     They  got  a  head  start  and  mean  to  maintain  their  lead. 

These  magazines  are  filled  with  good  information  and  also  with  things  that 
twenty-five   years  later  seem  amusing.      It  may  be   frequently  quoted   in   the  News.

Re;   "If  I  Were  Editor" 

Being  editor  requires  so:meone  who  can 
take  little  praise  and  lots  of  abuse  and 
enjoy  it.  However,  anybody  spreading 
news  about  our  New  England  dairy  goats 
should    receive    nothing    but   praise. 

There,  folks,  is  where  our  New 
England  Goat  News  comes  in.  It  is  the 
only  medium  we  have  for  spreading  the 
fame  of  our  dairy  goats.  But  right  now, 
our  paper  seems  to  be  suffering  financially 
like  a  bad  case  of  calcium  deficiency.  The 
writer  remembers  the  night  Vic  Cullitig- 
ton  addressed  our  group  and  spoke  with 
such  enthusiasm  over  starting  this  news. 
It  must  make  him  feel  blue  to  think  he 
could  not  continue.  It  seems  to  me  that 
while  Vic  might  feel  blue  because  he  could 
not  continue  as  its  editor,  it  would  not 
begin  to  compare  with  his  feelings  should 
the  paper  cease  to  exist.  I  think  this 
feeling  would  be  mutual  with  all  of  us, 
for  hasn't  it  become  a  feature  we  all  look 
for  each   month? 

Seeing  that  everything  right  now  is  for 
defense,  how  about  all  of  us  giving  a  little 
defense  for  our  paper  so  it  can  go  on 
telling  about  the  Toggenburgs,  the 
Saanens,  the  Alpines  and  the  Nubians. 
I  thank  you. 

C.  Philip  Bergstrom, 

Pres.  Central  Group. 


If  I  were  editor,  which  praise  be  I 
am  not,  I  believe  I  should  start  by  con- 
sidering what  the  policy  and  scope  of  the 
magazine  is  to  be.  Obviously  it  is  the 
Council  broadcasting  through  the  editor, 
and  so  to  the  Council  I  go  for  informa- 
tion, and  you,  the  Massachusetts  Associa- 
tions,   are   the   Council. 

What  is  the  New  England  Goat  News? 


and  bigger  paper  we  shall  be  able  to  pro- 
duce. Items  of  general  interest  can  come 
from  many  sources,  government  bulletins, 
publications  about  goats,  books  on  goats, 
experiences  of  individuals,  etc.  Lastly 
come  the  local  items,  and  these  must  come 
from  local  people,  either  direct  to  the 
editor  or  through  the  publicity  agents. 
C.   J.   Farley 


My  Dear   Miss   Farley: 

If  I  was  editor  of  the  Goat  News  I 
would  try  to  run  the  paper  on  the  same 
high  plane  that  Vic  CuUington  did  — 
trying  to  give  people  articles  of  interest 
in    all   phases   of   goat    keeping. 

I  certainly  do  not  like  the  print  or  the 
paper  of   the  last   issue   of  the  News. 
Sincerely, 

Elton   L.  H.   Cook 


to  doctors.  Copies  of  such  articles  might 
be  secured  by  members  of  the  associations 
at  a  small  cost;  these  might  also  be  used 
at   Fairs  and   in   various  ways. 

It  seems  to  me  that  good  pictures  would 
add  interest.  Could  members  supply 
proofs  and  be  willing  to  pay  a  small  a- 
mount  for  the  cuts  and  have  them  after- 
wards for  their  own  use  on  letter  paper 
or    circulars. 

Then  again,  something  might  be  done 
about  omiting  "proven"  from  Buck  Ser- 
vice ads  unless  the  proof  was  filed  with 
the  News. 

Get  members  to  send  in  the  names  of 
possible  subscribers   to   the  News. 

Yours  for  better  and  more  Goat  Milk. 
Helen  Wales.

"If   I   Were   Editor" 

I  might  do  all  sorts  of  things  with  the 
New  England  Goat  News,  but  one  thing 
is  certain  and  that  is  I  would  have  to 
work  very  hard  to  do  a  better  job  than 
has   been   done   to   date. 

It  is  easy  to  have  ideas  of  what  might 
be  done  under  various  conditions;  but 
quite  a  different  matter  to  find  oneself 
in  the  position  in  which  you  imagined 
yourself,  and  so  I  hestitate  to  say.  "He 
who   hestitates   is   lost"    sometimes. 

I   would   like   to   get   the   different   goat 
owners    and    goat    milk    producers    to    tell ,  Not   only   would   he   be   expected   to   prmt 
how  they  became  goat  minded.     Get  some '  th^    editions    but    also    keep    the    accounts 

and  records  for  ads,  subscriptions  and  the 


If  I  were  editor,  my  first  concern  would 
be  to  make  the  New  England  Goat  News 
a  completely  PAYING  PROPOSITION. 
No  business  can  be  run  successfully  with- 
out showing  a  reasonable  profit  after  a 
certain  length  of  time.  The  New  England 
Goat  News  is  really  a  business  conducted 
on  a  s;mall  scale  and  therefore  the  business 
of  editing  and  printing  the  News  has  to  be 
organized  in  a  competent  business-like 
manner  and  managed  so  as  to  show  no 
deficit.  You  may  say  this  statement  is 
easy  enough  to  make,  but  notwithstand- 
ing,   we   can't   avoid   facmg   the   truth. 

To  continue  on  the  financial  and  com- 
imercial  vein.  I  would  find  a  small-town 
printer,  whose  business  expenses  are  low 
and  who  would  be  capable  of  assuming 
the  responsibility  of  all  the  technicalities 
of  printing  the  New  England  Goat  News, 
foi   a   reasonable  compensation,   of   course, 


First,  it  is  an  organ_  for  publisjiing  officialising    ^^^    ^f    q^^^    j^;,j^ 

me  that  the  "News"  could  be  of  real 


news   in   regard   to   both   the   Council   and 


real    testimonials    as    to    the   benefits    from    ,.i        •  -cum  '  u- 

like,   just   as   it    the   News   were   his   own. 

would   seem  [  f  his  would  keep  the  organization  of  the 


It 


ad- 


to 


the    Assoriations.       Second,    it    is    an 
vertising    medium    for    those    of    us    who   help  and  value  to  the  sales  side  of  the  in- 
have    something    to    sell,    or    those    of    us    dustry,    if    there    was    one    short    article    a 

month  on  the  value  or  use  of  Goat  Milk. 
i  This   could   be   marked   and   copies   mailed 


who  wish  to  buy.  Third,  it  should 
contain  items  of  general  interest  to  all 
goat  keepers,  timely  topics  such  as  ropey 
milk  during  a  wet  spring;  supplementing 
green  feed  when  pasture  is  short;  keeping 
goats  on  pasture  free  of  worms;  balancing 
the  protein  where  local  hay  is  used;  feed- 
ing before  and  after  kidding,  etc.  Fourth- 
ly, the  News  would  give  items  of  local 
interest  such  as  the  fact  that  Mr.  Rogers 
of  Groton  has  a  doe  that  just  dropped 
five  kids.  (Just  ask  me  where  he  went 
for   buck    service) . 

If  I  were  editor,  I  should  wonder 
where  to  get  all  this  information.  The 
secretaries  of  the  various  organizations 
should  furnish  advance  notice  of  events 
and  they,  or  the  publicity  agents  should 
report  on  them  afterwards,  giving  the 
high  lights  of  general   interest. 

Advertising?  That  is  the  life  of  any 
paper  and  should  be  sought.  I  doubt  if 
the  editor  has  the  time,  but  some  person 
or  persons  in  the  Council,  or  in  each 
association  should  be  assigned  to  help. 
The  more  advertising  we  have,  the  better 


production     under  'one     head,     and     also 

would  be  no  expense  to  the  Mass.  Council 

of   Milk   Goat   Breeders   Assoc.

Visits  Goat  Herds 


Mrs.  Carl  Sandburg  of  Harbert,  Mich., 
well  known  Toggenbulrg  and  Nubian 
breeder  is  shown  above  viewing  the  herd 
of  Dr.  F.  H.  Packard,  past  president  of 
the  Essex  County  Association,  at  his  sum- 
mer home  at  Cape  Porpoise,  Me.  Ac- 
companied by  the  Campbells  of  Topsfield, 
where  she  made  her  headquarters  and  the 
Bennetts  of  Ipswich,  Mrs.  Sandburg 
made  a  flying  tour  of  goat  dairies  having 
stock  from  her  famous  Chikaming  herd. 
Among  the  farms  visited  were  those  of 
Mr.  Peter  Fuller,  Northampton,  N.  H., 
Mr.  Quincy  Adams  Shaw  II.  Beverly 
Farms,  Dr.  H.  D.  Lambert,  Beverly,  Mrs. 
Ruth  Decker,  Douglas  Hill,  Me.,  Dr.

Mr.  Wilhelm's  hospitality  was  greatly

his  beautiful  mountain  retreat  at  North 
Lovell,  Maine.  Although  it  hardly  seems 
possible,  he  has  under  construction  an

Cor  I  Leach  Judge 
At  Mass.  Show 


Corl  Leach  is  coming  to  judge  a  goat 
show  in  Massachusetts  for  the  first  time, 
and  of  course  that  goat  show  is  the  one 
at  the  Eastern  States  Exposition.  The 
judging  will  start  at  nine  o'clock  Monday 
morning,  September  15th.  Everyone 
knows  that  Mr.  Leach  is  editor  of  the 
Dairy  Goat  Journal  and  he  needs  no 
introduction  to  New  England  goat  breed- 
ers. 

Things  are  well  in  hand.  The  entries 
are  coming  in  fast.  If  you  don't  get  your 
entry  in  by  August  20th.  when  they 
officially  close,   send  them  just  the  same. 

The  directors  of  this  show  have  done 
a  tremendous  piece  of  work  in  organizing 
things  up  to  this  point.  All  they  need 
now  are  the  animals  to  show,  your  goat 
and  my  goat.  Get  the  entries  in!  If

Jane    27th — Telephoned   Farley   today 
and   she   is   the  sa:me   one.      We   are   going 
to   see   her   tomorrow   and   find   out   what 
this   goat   business   is  all   about. 

June  28th — It  has  been  a  painfully 
educational  afternoon.  Those  women 
took  to  each  other  and  talked  and  talked 
some  more.  We  saw  three  or  four  goats. 
Outdoors,  they  don't  seem  to  smell  much. 
Farley  didn't  leave  me  out  either — oh  no. 
She  wheedled  me  into  promising  to  write 
up  our  goat  experiences  for  this  NEWS 
that  she  thinks  is  such  an  important  con- 
tribution to  literature.  I  haven't  prom- 
ised to  buy  any  goats,  but  I  will  look 
at  a  few. 

Jane  29  th — There  are  not  many  goats 
for  sale  that  we  can  find  out  about.     Far- 
ley   insists   that   her    knowledge    of    goats

EDITORIAL 

If  you  are  buying  same  milk  caps,  or  a  block  of  salt  do  you  do  the  easiest  thing, 
order  it  from  your  grain  dealer,  even  if  he  isn't  an  advertiser;  or  does  your  good-' 
will  for  the  News  extend  to  bothering  to  order  from  one  of  our  advertisers,  and  of 
bothering  to  say,  "I  saw  it  advertised  in  the  NEWS"?  By  the  way,  have  you  ever 
asked  your  grain  dealer  for  an  ad?      Show  him   the   $1.00  size  next  tim«  he  comes! 


They  read  the  NEWS  in  N.  Y.  state. 
We  quoted  a  copy  of  the  Goat  Keeper 
of  25  years  ago  and  had  two  letters  re- 
garding the  Syracuse  Fair,  which  25 
years  ago  only  offered  prizes  for  Angoras. 
They  sent  the  NEWS  a  premium  list, 
which  is  more  impressive  than  Eastern 
States.  Brockton  Fair  or  Topsfield  Fair. 
to  prove  that  ;milk  goats  are  a  very  im- 
portant part  of  the  1941  Syracuse  Fair. 
Our  apoligies  for  any  confusion  which  we 
unintentionally   created. 


The  NEWS  has  had  inquiries  during 
the  past  month  for  a  good  Saanen  buck 
in  Maine,  for  a  place  to  buy  show  rib- 
bons, for  a  laboratory  to  test  milk,  and 
four  inquiries  for  a  good  clean  place  to 
board  one  or  two  family  goats  while  the 
family  goes  away  for  a  vacation.  There 
was  no  ad  in  the  NEWS  to  cover  any  one 
of  these  contingencies  and  we  had  to  say 
"I  don't  know"  to  them  all.  Can  some- 
one find  us  these  four  advertisers  who  are 
losing   business   from   NEWS   readers.

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lopez  of  Westfield  have 
given  their  herd  of  thirteen  goats  the 
name    "The   Hampden    Herd". 


Mr.  Arthur  Williams  through  the 
NEWS,  has  offered  to  provide  Hoegger 
treatment  free  of  charge  to  certain  goats 
of  his  selection  in  one  goat  dairy  from 
each  association.  If  your  association  is 
interested  in  having  an  experimental 
herd  for  this  test,  get  in  touch  with  Mr. 
Williams   for  further  details.

Mr.  C.  F.  Noyes  of  Framingham  writes 
that  his  grade  Tog.,  "Queen"  (mother  of 
the  nice  grade  Alpine  that  took  a  blue 
at  Hathorne)  gave  1080  lbs.  of  milk 
from  the  12th  of  March  to  the  6th  of 
June.  We  shall  be  interested  to  know 
what  she  does  in  ten  imonths.  and  since 
Mr.  Noyes  keeps  accurate  records,  we  will 
be  able  to  find  out. 


"Perhaps  of  interest  to  other  breeders 
or  goat-herds  has  been  the  story  of  the 
substitution  of  a  10%  horse-feed  for  the 
1 6  %  pellets  with  no  shrinkage  in  pro- 
duction and  a  marked  difference  in  qual- 
ity. When  I  get  the  goats  on  green  Soya 
beans,   I  shall  discontinue  all  grain." 

Carleton  F.  Noyes. 

Another  correspondent  writes  that  very 
young  kids  relished  the  tender  leaves  of 
green  soy  beans  before  they  would  eat  any 
other  form   of   roughage.

material    must    be    ordered    and    used    by 
your  veterinary,   but   it   is   far  less  expen- 
sive   than    the    "Antuitrin    S"    and    seems 
to  be  just  as  effective. 

Our  favorite  veterinary  has  just  put 
us  wise  to  "Zephiran"  as  the  newest 
antiseptic  which  is  taking  dairy  barns  by 
storm.  It  is  absolutely  odorless  and 
colorless.  It  is  not  poisonous  and  it  is 
so  non-irritating  that  it  will  not  even 
inflame  'eyes.  Surgeons  use  it  in  the 
new  "wet  glove"  technique,  where  their 
hands  are  constantly  wet  with  it  for  two 
or  three  or  more  hours,  without  any  irri- 
tation. It  is  the  perfect  answer  to  the 
problem  of  what  to  use  to  wash  udders 
and  hands  and  has  such  a  high  germicidal 
potency  that  it  is  a  safe  disinfectant  for 
general  use  around  the  barn.  It  is  put 
out  by  the  Alba  Pharmaceutical  Company 
of   New   York    and    is   not   expensive. 


WHEY  HONEY 


The  next  time  you  make  cheese,  try 
this  way  of  using  up  the  whey.  Boil 
one  cup  of  whey  and  one-third  of  a  cup 
of  sugar  until  it  is  of  the  consistency  of 
strained  honey.  It  will  keep  indefinitely 
if  properly  bottled  and  is  delicious  on 
pancakes  or  hot  buscuit,  or  as  a  pudding 
sauce.     It  has  to  be  tasted  to  be  believed.

CONTEST  ANNOUNCEMENT 


Mr.  Konig  of  Minkdale  Farms  has 
shown  in  every  way  an  active  good  feel- 
ing toward  the  NEWS.  He  has  con- 
tributed a  worthwhile  article  which  will 
appear  soon,  he  has  helped  us  by  adver- 
tising and  now  he  has  made  a  generous 
contribution  to  help  us  get  out  of  debt. 
He  has  given  us  three  very  handsome  im- 
ported rugs,  which  were  left  on  his  hands 
when    he    retired    from    the    rug    business. 

The  NEWS  needs  above  all  a  larger 
subscription  list,  though  we  are  delighted 
with  the  number  that  have  come  in  during 
the  last  month.  The  bulk  of  our  adver- 
tisers are  first  of  all  subscribers,  so  more 
subscribers  will  m«an  moire  advertisers 
and    more   purchasers. 

To  the  person  or  club  sending  in  the 
largest  number  of  new  paid  subscriptions 
between  now  and  December  I  0th,  we  will 
give  one  of  the  s;mall  rugs.  If  two  or 
more  people  send  in  over  25  subscriptions 
each  we  will  give  the  second  small  rug 
as  a  second  prize.  This  is  open  to  all 
readers  of  the  NEWS  and  to  all  4H  mem- 
bers. If  a  club,  grange  or  church  group

Letters  from  the  Presidents 


Mrs.   Harriet  H.   Campbell, 
Lockwood   Lane 
Topsficld,   Mass. 

Re:    "If    I    were   Editor" 
Dear    Mrs.    Ca;mpbeU: 

Let  me  say  at  the  start  that  I  am 
quite  conscious  of  the  fact  that  I  lack 
many  of  the  essentials  that  would  make 
me  a  successful  editor.  The  factor  of 
experience  is  an  all  important  one  but  if 
the  job  were  actually  mine,  I'd  try  to 
realize  certain  facts  in  order  to  keep  my 
subscribers  from  losing  interest  in  my 
publication. 

I  would  ask  myself  the  question  reg- 
ularly, "What  useful  purposes  does  my 
publication  serve?"  If  the  news  is  en- 
titled "Goats"  I'd  keep  fairly  close  to  my 
subject  and  by  doing  so,  this  would  serve 
to    eliminate    articles    irrelevant    to    goats. 

I'd  take  such  steps  as  were  necessary 
to  avoid  political  entanglements  or  con- 
troversies and  I'd  try  to  practice  the 
Golden  Rule  but  leave  religion  as  a  topic 
for   some   other   publication. 

I'd  look  over  'my  monthly  set-up  as  a 
whole  and  see  just  how  much  space  was 
devoted  to  goats  and  keep  the  human 
personalities  at  a  mifnimum.  I'd  get 
around  among  the  goat  folks  and  find  out 
what  they  wanted  articles  on.  Perhaps, 
for  example,  data  on  modern  feeding. 
There  may  be  a  new  green  crop  that  local 
breeders  are  as  yet  unacquainted  with. 
I'd  try  to  find  someone  who  has  tried  it 
or  one  who  would  be  willing  to  do  so 
and  then  have  them  write  an  article  on 
the   results. 

Since  many  of  the  readers  are  be^ 
ginner®,  I  would  have  articles  on  how 
best  to  raise  kids  and  how  to  prepare 
animals  for  the  show  ring,  etc.  Articles 
that  merely  report  that  so-and-so  went 
on  a  trip  and  everyone  and  everyplace 
they  visited  was  lovely,  really  do  not  give 
the  subscriber  anything,  except  possibly 
a  desire  for  more  information.  I  am  sure 
I  would  never  attempt  this  work  unless 
I  had  a  strong  desire  to  advance  the  goat 
industry  as  a  whole  and  also  had  the 
time  and  money  to  make  my  publication 
a  well  planned  success  and  I  would  have 
every  article  contain  some  valuable  infor- 
mation for  the  reader  bearing  in  mind 
that  many  of  them  are  beginners. 

Any  words  in  this  letter,  which  you 
have  asked  for.  are  not  to  be  construed 
as   criticism    of   editors   or  articles   of   the 


New  England  Goat  News  either  past, 
present  or  future.  I  am  interested  in  the 
improvement  of  goats,  the  quantity  of 
milk  they  can  produce,  their  health  and 
the  education  of  the  public  on  the  con- 
sumption of  goat  products  and  I  am  be- 
h-nd  anyone  or  any  publication  who  be- 
lieves in  this  policy  and  advances  it. 

Sincerely   yours,    Allan    J.    Blackball. 


MR.   MILLER'S  LETTER 

(Continued    from   last   month) 

The  organization  of  the  program  of 
this  paoer  of  mine,  were  I  editor,  would 
be  under  the  direction  of  the  present 
officers  of  the  New  England  Goat  News. 

In  my  opinion,  the  president  of  each 
association  belonging  to  the  Mass.  Council 
should  be  expected  to  write  an  article  a 
month.  If  he  is  unable  to  do  this,  then 
a  member  of  the  local  organization  should 
be  delegated   to  do  so   for  him. 

The  veterinary  column  would  be  re- 
tained as  one  of  its  most  important  fea- 
tures and  absolutely  necessary  to  begin- 
ners as  well  as  valuable  to  the  experienced 
breeder.  There  is  never  a  week  or  a  day 
passes  but  what  even  the  most  veteran 
of  breeders  finds  that  he  needs  advice. 
Occasionally  there  is  no  time  to  consult 
a  veterinary  and  the  assurances  of  correct 
procedure  in  such  a  column  saves  a  great 
deal  of  doubt  and  anxiety.  Personally, 
I  was  brought  up  on  goat  milk  from  our 
own  herd,  I  am  pretty  well  along  in 
years,  and  therefore  have  quite  a  back- 
ground of  experience,  but  still  there  are 
problems  that  turn  up  and  it  is  most 
difficult  to  decide  whether  the  case  war- 
rants a  veterinary  or  not.  Such  written 
help  might  ease  my  mind.  Then,  of 
course,  new  methods  and  experiments  are 
also   helpful. 

I  would  also  engineer  a  friendly  com- 
petition between  all  the  different  asso- 
ciations that  belong  to  the  Mass.  Council 
with     the    Council     offering     a    prize     or 


three-year  trophy  to  the  association 
bringing  in  the  greatest  number  of  sub- 
scribers, new  and  old,  to  the  Goat  News. 

At  present,  I  am  deeply  engrossed  and 
concerned  with  plans  for  the  Eastern 
States  Exposition  Dairy  Goat  exhibit  and 
find  it  difiicult  to  be  comprehensive  in 
stating  my  views  if  I  were  editor.  But 
my  sum'mary  would  be  to  make  this  news 
successful  financially.  it  must  be  pro- 
fessionally organized,  both  financially, 
technically  and  from  the  standpoint  of 
editorial  direction.  Give  the  News  local 
stimulus  by  arranging  contributions 
monthly  from  each  association,  by  its 
competitive  events,  and  by  its  ever  help- 
ful   veterinary    column. 

If  by  any  chance  I  am  treading  on 
anyone's  toes,  you  have  my  permission 
to  censure  any  idea  I  have  proffered.  Any 
toe-treading  has  been  unintentional  and 
certainly  impersonal. 

Best  wishes  for  the  New  England  Goat 
News.      If  at  any  time  I  can  be  helpful. 
I  will  be  glad  to  give  my  services. 
A.  G.  Miller.  iPres.  "Western  M.D.G.B.A.

MIDDLESEX  KID  SHOW

No  doubt  most  of  you  have  seen  the

for  sale  is  strictly  limited  to  those  ad- 
vertised in  the  NEWS,  which  seem  to  be 
mostly  in  remote  spots.  But  now  my 
wife  isn't  so  stupid.  She  had  the  bright 
idea  that  if  anyone  sold  milk  or  kept  a 
buck,  they  probably  had  some  goats  and 
we  could  look  at  them  and  get  some  ideas. 
July  6th — What  a  week-end!  For 
three  days,  goats,  goats,  goats.  We  know 
now  that  all  Toggenburg  milk  is  terrible, 
but  Saancns  give  good  milk;  that  all 
Saanen  milk  is  terrible,  but  Toggenburgs 
give  wonderful  milk;  that  Nubians  give 
pure  cream  for  three  months  in  the  sum- 
mer and  then  dry  up;  that  Alpines  are 
said  to  be  wonderful,  but  one  man  owns 
them  all,  so  nobody  knows  much  about 
the;m;  that  all  goats  are  perfectly  healthy 
and  the  milk  has  no  bacteria;  that  it  will 
cure  everything  from  general  debility  to 
obesity.  But  I  thought  I  saw  some  sick 
looking  animals  with  diarrhea  and  I 
know  I  saw  some  sick  looking  people  and 
smelled  some  bad  breaths  (excuse  me,  I 
mean  halitosis)  in  those  very  people  who 
were  insisting  on  the  cure-all  properties 
of  the  milk.  They  really  ought  to  try  it 
and  cure  themselves  first,  before  they  talk 
quite  so  much.  Still,  I  must  say,  I  was 
enormously  impressed  by  the  enthusias:m 
that   all   these   people   haci   for   their   goats.

Raps  Nonsense 
About  Goat  Milk 


Carolina,    Rhode    Island 
9-17-1941 
Dear  Mrs.  Clough: 

My  family  uses  goat  jnilk  for  three 
major  rea:ons.  which  seem  important  to 
us. 

(I.  economic).  The  cost  is  less  to 
us  than  that  of  purchased  cow  milk.  In 
the  past  we  spent  about  $25.  per  month 
for  cow  milk  and  other  dairy  products, 
such  as  butter,  cheese,  and  ice-cream.  Our 
consumption  of  such  food  was  large  be- 
cause we  have  small  children.  The  cost 
of  keeping  goats  on  a'  well  balanced  diet 
is  small.  The  initial  expense  of  pur- 
chase for  the  goats  is  cancelled  by  the 
subs:?quent  sale  of  the  kids  to  other  fami- 
lies, where  an  interest  in  goat-keeping  is 
manifest. 

(2.  health].  I  have  read  a  lot  of 
nonsense  in  otherwise  soundly  balanced 
pediatric  journals  that  goat  milk  has  no 
advantages  over  cow  milk  that  while  it 
is  relatively  free  fro[m  tuberculosis  it  may 
be  contaminated  by  Undulant  fever,  and 
that  it  carries  an  unknown  factor  which 
endangers  a  milk  hypocromic  anemia  in 
children.  Reference,  to  state  and  govern- 
ment survey  will  indicate  that  the  in- 
cidence of  Undulant  fever  as  a  reservoir 
in  goats  everywhere  in  this  country  except 
in  the  Southwest  is  practically  zero.  The 
incidence  of  this  same  disease  in  dairy

"The  herbage  which  grows  about  the 
goat  house  or  any  place  where  the  goats 
congregate,  together  perhaps,  with  fowl 
and  dogs,  is  the  very  worst  the  kids  can 
eat.  This  grass  is  contaminated  with  in- 
testinal worms,  and  any  other  disease

TOPSFIELD  FAIR 
(Continued  from  page  one) 
goats.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Fair 
Co;mmittee  to  present  to  the  public  the 
best  animals  possible  and  to  do  it  in  such 
a  way  that  it  shall  help  to  elevate  the 
goat  to  her  proper  position  as  the  bene- 
factor of  the  human  race.  We  have  been 
criticised  because  we  do  not  sell  or  give 
away  goat  milk  produced  at  the  Fair;  the 
answer  is  that  we  do  not  think  milk  pro- 
duced under  such  conditions  can  be  a  sani- 
tary advertisement  for  goat  milk. 

This    year    as    well    as    last    year,    the 
sound    truck    was    of    great    help    in    an- 
nouncing   the    winners    to    the    audience; 
likewise  the  use   of  the  Goat  Show  cata- 1 
logue    of    entries.      The    new    feature    thiSj 
year   was   the   grandstand.      Other  times  aj 
temporary    judging    ring    has    been    used, 
but  this  year  we  had  a  permanent  fenced- 
in    judging    ring,    with    a    most    welcome 
grandstand  for  spectators.      This  year,  al- 
so,  the   4   breed  champions  stayed  for  the 
duration   of   the   Fair:    and   there   were   4 
large   pens,   one   each   of  the  four   popular 
breeds.      We    are   grateful    to    the   breeders 
who  cooperated  with  their  exhibits. 

The  number  of  goats  exhibited  was 
103,  the  largest  number  of  entries  we 
have    had. 

The  judge  was  Mary  L.  Farley  of 
Sherbom,  Mass.,  who  later  in  the  week 
went  to  Mineola  Fair,  L.  I.  to  judge  the 
goat   show   there.

NEW  ENGLAND  GOAT  NEWS 


DR.  LASKEY'S  LETTER 
(Continued  from  page  one) 
cattle  is  amazingly  high.  Almost  every 
physician  I  know  has  treated  at  least  one 
case  hereabouts.  Since  I  am  a  blood- 
pathologist  by  interest,  I  am  to  be  par- 
doned if  I  assert  that  the  anemia  men- 
tioned by  a  certain  pediatrician  had  its 
genesis  elsewhere.  It  is  my  experience 
that  cow  milk  is  much  more  of  a  buffer 
solution  than  goat  jnilk.  I  know  by  em- 
pirical observation  that  the  majority  of 
infants  will  not  tolerate  well,  unmodi- 
fied cow  milk.  For  some  years  I  have 
constructed  infant  formulae  on  the  basis 
of  canned  evaporated  cow  milk  for  this 
reason.  The  plain  fact  is  that  many 
otherwise  well  trained  pediatricians  know 
next  to  nothing  about  goat  milk.  Their 
inactivity  in  using  it  more  generally  is 
due  to  this  lack  of  knowledge,  to  its  pres- 
ent lack  of  general  availability,  and  due 
to  the  charlatan  claims  of  a  few  goat 
milk  producers  who  antagonize  my  pro- 
fession —  and  make  it  very  difficult  for. 
the  rest  of  us  who  are  trying  to  educate 
the  public. 

There  are  some  goat  keepers  who  are 
not  yet  aware  that  at  least  one  large  com- 
pany (Delaval)  makes  a  separator  for 
goat  crea:m,  and  that  this  cream  makes 
an  ice-cream  of  very  fine  texture. 

We  have  a  small  farm  and  use  the  ex- 
cretion of  the  animals  to  fertilize  tke 
soil,  and  to  provide  humus.  It  does  not 
burn  the  soil  as  most  chemical  fertiliz- 
ers. We  add  superphosphate  to  the  ma- 
nure and  urine,  on  the  theory  that  it 
conserves  nitrogen  which  would  otherwise 
be  lost  in  a  gaseous  state. 

(3.  psychological).  The  care  of  the 
animals  provides  recreation  and  occupa- 
tional therapy  for  my  children.  This 
theme  could  be  elaborated  fully,  but  at 
this  point  it  should  be  obvious.  I  find 
that  many  high  grade  family  units  are 
tending  to  migrate  to  areas  outside  city 
limits.  It  is  to  these  that  the  goat  as  a 
milk  producer  will  becojne  increasingly 
and  rapidly  important. 

Respectfully    yours, 

Howard  G.  Laskey,  M.D.

''MyWife'sGoats'' 
Diary  Of  A  Dairy 

(Continued  from  last  month) 
July  9th — This  evening,  my  wife  and 
I  have  had  a  conference  worthy  of  big 
business  and  have  drawn  up  a  four-point 
program  on  which  to  operate  when  we 
start  buying  goats.  We  discovered  to  our 
great  and  mutual  surprise  that  we  both 
were  still  open-minded  as  to  breed.  May- 
be we  will  get  all  the  breeds,  maybe  we 
will  get  some  whose  own  mothers  don't 
know  what  breed  they  are.  Be  that  as 
it  may,  we  will  stick  to  our  four  points. 

(1)  We  will  find  a  man  we  trust  and 
trust  him.  We  will  check  our  judgment 
by  making  sure  that  his  neighbors  trust 
him  and  other  reasonable  goat  breeders 
trust  him.  Milk  records,  and  pedigrees 
based  on  them,  don't  seem  to  us  to  be 
worth  much  more  than  the  word  of  the 
man  back  of  them.  So  we  are  looking 
for  an  honest  man  who  can  show  us  at 
least  two,  and  we  hope  three,  generations 
in  his  barn. 

Now    the    whole    thing   ought    to    end 
right  there,  only  we  couldn't  stop  saying, 

'There  was  Mr.  Blank  we  saw  in  Blank- 
ville.  A  more  honest  man  we'll  never 
find,  but  his  goats  were  terrible.  And 
there  was  Mrs.  Blaker  of  Blankertown. 
She  would  mean  right,  but  she  doesn't 
know."  So  we  had  to  put  in  point 
two.

BEACON  GOAT  RATIONS 

There  are  two  Beacon  Feeds  fcr  goats.  Both  have  the  same  for- 
mula but  one  has  the  bran  and  fine  materials  put  into  pellets  before 
mixing  with  the  grains. 

Use  these  two  feeds:  1.  Regular  Beacon  Goat  Ration  and  2.  Beacon 
Goat  Ration  with  Pellets  —  they  provide  your  goats  with  a 
change  without  actually  altering  the  nutritive  makeup  of  the  ration.

New  England  breeders  would  have  been

generous  prize  money.  The  show  was 
well  managed  and  is  one  that  New  Eng- 
land breeders,  papticularly  of  Nubians, 
should  bear  in  mind  another  year,  as 
there  are  classes  for  pure-bred  and  grade 
goats  of  five  varieties  (including  Rock  Al-

was  filled.  The  L.  I.  goat  breeders  are  a

Many  a  goat  breeder  is  trying  a  few

corn,  or  a  mixture  of  corn  and  soya  beans. 
Grass  silage  made  with  molasses  or  whey 
(and  we  have  heard  about  corn  meal  but 
haven't  tried  it)  is  popular  and  goats 
are  reported  to  greatly  relish  it.

"A  very  important  consideration  is 
sunshine  and  of  all  animals,  the  goat 
is  most  dependent  upon  it.  Sunshine  is 
a  foe  to  all  disease  germs  and  it  has  been 
scientifically  demonstrated  that  animals 
require  less  food  with  a  sufficiency  of 
sunshine  than  with  a  lack  of  it,  showing 
that  the  sun  either  directly  supplies  energy 
or  facilitates  bodily  functions."  — Goat 
Keeper.

The  first  Dairy  Goat  Show  held  at  the 
Eastern  States  Exposition.  Sept.  14-20. 
1941.  can,  without  a  doubt,  be  labeled  a 
success.  This  was  the  twenty-fifth  an- 
niversary of  the  Exposition:  it  was  the 
first  time  that  goats  were  invited  to  be 
shown:  from  now  on  we  hope  that  the 
goat  show  will  be  a  regular  feature  with 
goats  on   the  same  par  as  other  livestock. 

For  several  years  a  group  of  goat 
owners  have  been  attempting  to  interest 
the  management  of  the  Exposition  in  a 
Goat  Show.  These  efforts  brought  re- 
sults last  year,  when  the  Exposition 
granted  the  Western.  Mass.  Dairy  Goat 
Breeders  space  in  the  Industrial  Arts 
Building  to  promote  the  cause  of  the 
Dairy  Goat.  Early  in  1941,  a  piece  of 
legislation  was  passed  in  the  Massachu- 
setts Legislature  that  was  the  death  of 
the  annual  horse  show  at  the  Exposition. 
However,  it  proved  to  be  good  luck  to 
the  goat  breeders,  for  an  invitation  was 
extended  to  them  to  utilize  part  of  the 
horse  barn  to  house  dairy  goats.  The 
contact  man  between  the  goat  breeders 
and  the  Exposition  management  was  Mr. 
Langdon  C.  Kellogg,  to  whom  a  great 
deal  of  credit  is  due  for  the  existence  of 
a  Dairy  Goat  Show. 

Hard  work  and  cooperation  was  the 
baisis  for  the  success  of  the  show.  When 
the  invitation  was  received  to  hold  a 
goat  show,  it  was  still  an  idea  without 
any  finances.  Mrs.  Carl  Sandburg  was 
the  first  contributor  to  help  our  finances.

Diary  Of  A  Dairy

(2)  We  will  buy  from  a  herd  of  dean, 
healthy  animals,  who  get  fresh  air,  exer- 
osc,  sunshine,  good  food  and  intelligent 
care.  We  will  not  buy  a  goat  that 
spends  twentyfour  hours  a  day  tied  or  in 
a  stanchion.  And  we  like  well-grown 
ani,Tnals.  Puny  little  things  may  be  in- 
expensive to  feed,  but  I  don't  like  them 
around  and  I  don't  have  to  have  them 
around  and  I  am  not  going  to  have  them 
around. 

(3)  We  will  trust  our  own  taste.  If 
we  take  a  fancy  to  an  animal  with  spots 
where  it  should  have  stripes  and  a  tail 
that  hangs  limply  to  one  side  instead  of 
waving  gaily  over  its  back  like  a  Chow's, 
that's  the  animal  we  will  buy.  We  hope 
we  won't  take  those  queer  fancies.  We 
think  we  will  go  to  lots  and  lots  of  shows 
and  develop  our  taste  for  "the  dairy  type", 
whatever  that  may  be. 

I  may  be  ignorant,  but  my  I.  Q.  is 
up  to  normal  and  I  know  my  duty  to 
my  publishers.  WE  WILL  LIMIT 
OURSELES  TO  GOATS  THAT  WE 
FIND  OUT  ABOUT  IN  THE  NEWS.

South  Eastern  held  its  annual  banquet 
at  the  "Hilltop  Lunch"  in  Walpolc,  on 
Friday  evening,  Oct.  10.  Dinner  was  a 
gay  affair,  followed  by  Scotch  bagpiping 
by  Major  Smith,  in  Highland  costume, 
after  which  Mrs.  Robert  Campbell  of 
Dcdham.  gave  a  wonderful  exhibition  of 
the  Highland  Fling  and  the  Sword  Dance. 
A  mock  wedding  full  of  goaty  allusions 
was  performed.  The  evening  ended  with 
a  j;lly  Virginia  reel.  The  pleasure  and 
success  of  the  evening  was  greatly  due  to 
the  presence  of  a  number  of  people  from 
other   associations.

Connecticut  are  Pres.  Arthur  Whitman;

AN  AGED  ARAB  feeling  his  death  approaching,  made  his  will;  to  his  eldest

cne-ninth.  But  at  his  passing  his  estate  was  found  to  comprise  seventeen  Camels. 
(A  youngster  faced  with  a  problem  of  dividing  five  apples  among  four  boys 
suggested  applesauce.  Finding  a  peaceful  settlement  impossible,  the  sons  con- 
sulted a  white-bearded  Sheik  noted  for  his  sagacity,  whereupon  he  added  his 
cream-hite  Camel,  bringing  the  total  to  eighteen  —  enabling  the  eldest  to  re- 
ceive one-half  or  nine  Camels,  the  second  one-third  or  six.  and  the  youngest 
one-ninth  or  two.      Then  he  led  his  cream-white  Camel  back  to  his  habitation.

More  than  half  of  all  reports  of  meet- 
ings that  are  sent  to  the  NEWS  read  about 
like  this,  "The  October  meeting  of  the 
Dairy  Goat  Club  was  held  at  the  home 
of  Mr.  John  Jones.  Mr.  Smith  gave  us 
a  very  interesting  talk".  Since  the  an- 
nouncement of  the  meeting  the  month 
before  said  that  it  would  be  held  at  Mr. 
Jones  home  and  that  Mr.  Smith  would 
talk,  there  is  little  point  in  printing  that 
exactly  what  you  announced  would  hap- 
pen, did  happen.  If  the  proper  officer  of 
each  association  will  write  the  NEWS 
what  Mr.  Smith  said  that  was  interesting 
to  all  goat  owners,  the  NEWS  will  have 
enough  material  'each  month  to  more 
than  fill  its  pages,  for  the  meetings  are 
good,  but  who  will  guess  it  by  reading 
reports  which  carefully  ignore  all  the  real 
goat   information? 


We  have  had  delightful  letters  from 
Mrs,  Buch  and  Mrs.  Tyler  thanking  New 
England  goat  breeders  and  Eastern  States 
exhibitors  for  their  friendliness,  courtesy 
and  good  sportsmanship.  Mrs.  Tyler 
writes  "the  finest  spirit  of  cooperation  I 
ever  saw  and  I  have  been  to  a  lot  of  ex- 
hibitions."

Perhaps  the  'most  intefesting  thing 
that  Mr.  McGauley  had  to  tell  us  at 
Middlesex  about  the  National  AMGRA 
meeting,  was  that  a  resolution  was  passed 
that  an  AMGRA  committee  should  be 
appointed  to  meet  with  a  like  AGS  com- 
mittee to  try  to  reach  a  common  ground 
for  union,  or  at  least  helpful  cooperation, 
because  the  present  situation  with  two 
competing  milk  goat  record  associations 
is  wasteful  of  the  dairy  goat  industry's 
limited  resources.  Both  associations  have 
expressed  themselves  as  willing  to  whole- 
heartedly  cooperate  in   this  endeavor.

stock,  and  less  emphasis  has  been  placed 
on  ;milk  records  here  than  in  other  parts 
of  the  country.  Many  of  our  very  best 
does  are  members  of  small  family  herds, 
perhaps  gettting  no  publicity  because  they 
are  owned  by  modest,  retiring  people  who 
have  nothing  to  sell.  And  yet  the  per- 
formance of  such  a  doe  may  be  of  great 
significance  as  regards  the  value  of  her 
sire,  her  brothers,  and  her  sons.  The  more 
we  know,  the  more  intelligently  we  can 
breed. 

If  we  never  take  the  first  step,  we  will 
never  get  started.  True,  we  may  fall 
down  on  the  first  step,  but  it  cannot  hurt 
much  to  try.  Since  we  believe  that  there 
are  many  intelligent  goat  owners  in  New 
England  whose  word  is  to  be  believed, 
who  keep  or  would  be  willing  to  keep 
milk  records,  but  because  they  have 
nothing  to  sell  would  never  bother  to 
place  their  goats  on  official  test,  the 
NEWS  will  set  up  an  unofficial  registry 
and  will  publish  the  records  of  all  does 
who  produce  ever  1500  lbs.  of  milk  in 
ten    months. 

Because  this  will  entail  a  great  amount 
of  work,  the  records  must  be  kept  on 
uniform  blanks  which  we  will  furnish 
at  cost.  Talk  the  plan  over  in  your 
next  association   meeting  and  let   us  know

in  the  goat  business  are  those  who  know 
how  to  take  advantage  of  such  excellent

(Continued  from  page  one) 

At  a  meeting  held  in  Worcester.  Mass., 
Mr.  A.  G.  Miller  donated  seven  stainless 
steel  milking  pails  that  were  disposed  of 
at  $25.  «ach  with  the  co-operation  of  the 
members  in  the  various  Goat  Associations 
in  Massachusetts.  Mrs.  Sherwood  and 
Ann  Sherwood  donated  their  time  to 
decorate  the  headquarters  at  the  Show. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bull  of  Russell,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Shields  of  Longmeadow,  and  Mr. 
Walter  Gsorge  of  Alton,  N.  H.  spent 
their  "vacation"  by  caring  for  the  animals 
during  the  week  of  the  show.  Mr. 
O'  Toole,  owner  of  the  Sunshine  Goat 
Dairy  in  Chicopee,  handled  the  pasteuri- 
zation and  bottling  of  the  milk  that  Mrs. 
Strahan  of  Hampden  directed  the  sale  of 
to  interested  visitors  at  the  Goat  Show. 
It  may  be  well  to  state  that  this  was  not 
only  the  best  advertisement  for  the  Dairy 
Goat,  for  hundreds  of  bottles  were  sold, 
but  it  also  was  one  of  our  best  sources  of 
revenue.  Our  sincere  thanks  to  Mr. 
Konig  of  Newtown.  Conn,  for  suggesting 
the  sale  of  milk.  The  Wirthmore  Feed 
Co.  and  Mr.  Hanson,  manager  of  the 
Wtstfield  branch  of  Purina  Feed  Co. 
dor.atid  gcat  feed,  and  the  Beacon  Mill- 
ing Co.  of  Cayuga.  N.  Y.  donated  the 
special  award  in  the  milking  contest. 
1  l:ese  fine  contributions  put  the  show 
across  financially  and  left  a  small  balance. 
The  whoie  affair  was  one  of  fine  co-op- 
eration, and  it  is  only  due  to  lack  of 
space  that  we  do  not  list  everyone  who 
heiptd  in  one  way  or  another. 

The  Show  being  held  in  the  quarters 
of  the  Horse  Barn  meant  that  conditions 
were  not  ideal  for  a  Goat  Show.  The 
burden  of  adapting  this  space  for  goats 
fell  to  the  members  of  Western,  Mass. 
D.  G.  B.  A.,  and  this  opportunity  is 
taken  to  thank  Mr.  A.  G.  Miller,  presi- 
dent of  this  unit,  in  behalf  of  the  mem- 
bers who  worked  in   renovating  the  space. 

It  !may  b:  well  to  overlook  the  activity 
of  the  first  day  in  getting  the  276  animals 
placed,  and  concentrate  this  space  on  the 
day  of  the  show.  Monday.  September  15. 
Our  judge,  Mr.  Leach  of  Fairbury, 
Nebraska,  arrived  early  in  Springfield. 
The  day  was  ideal  for  weather,  and  the 
Governor  of  Massachusetts  stopped  at  oiir 
headquarters  on  his  tour  of  the  Exposi- 
tion and  wished  our  efforts  and  our  show 
success.  The  judging  took  place  in  a 
ring  outside  the  Goat  quarters,  and  drew 
a  heavy  crowd  of  spectators.  We  must 
acknowledge  that  Mr.  Leach  did  a  thor- 
ough and  exceptionally  fine  job.  That 
everyone  was  satisfied  with  his  decisions 
can  best  be  proved  by  a  remark  of  Mrs. 
Tyler,  who  said,  "I  have  taken  a  good 
share  of  the  first  awards,  but  everyone 
seems  to  be  satisfied  and  happy  that  I 
placed." 

Thousands  of  fair-going  spectators 
vi'iied  the  goat  barn  daily.  Inquiries  were 
directed  to  exhibitors  about  the  animals; 
the  milk  sold  convnced  hundreds  of  in- 
terested visitors  that  goat  milk  was  a 
lasty.  refreshing  beverage;  and  several  ani- 
r"als  were  sold.  These  are  all  earmarks 
of  an  actually  successful  show.

next  year  were  under  way.  A  meeting 
of  all  the  exhibitors  was  held  at  4  p.  m. 
at  the  Hampden  County  Improve:ment 
League  Building.  Mr.  A.  G.  Miller,  of 
Lindenthal  Goat  Farm,  North  Wilbra- 
ham.  Mass.  was  elected  president  of  the 
Association  for  the  coming  year.  It  was 
voted  that  all  exhibitors  at  this  first  Show 
be  made  directors  of  the  Association,  and 
that  Directors  be  elected  to  represent  States 
in  the  Northeastern  group  that  were  not 
included  under  this  ruling.  Mr.  Nash, 
general  manager  of  the  Exposition,  ex- 
pressed satisfaction  with  this  year's  show, 
and  has  set  a  date  in  November  on  which 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Asso- 
ciation is  to  meet  with  him  to  commence 
on  plans  for  next  year. 

The  first  Goat  Show  at  the  Exposition, 
based  on  only  an  idea  which  was  put 
into  action,  has  been  rated  as  one  of  the 
biggest  in  the  country.  With  a  full  year 
of  planning  ahead,  and  with  a  nucleus 
of  interested  and  enthusiastic  exhibitors 
as  Directors,  our  hope  for  the  future  is 
to  jnake  this  show  at  the  Exposition  the 
best  and   the  biggest   on   earth.

Do  not  allow  your  goat  to  waste  hay. 
Feed  it  in  small  lots  which  she  will  en- 
tirely consume.  If  you  feed  in  a  manger, 
fasten  her  while  she  is  eating  so  that  she 
cannot  withdraw  her  head  to  pull  the 
hay  into  the  stall  under  her  feet.  If  you 
feed  from  a  rack,  be  sure  that  the  space 
under  it  is  perfectly  clean  before  each 
feeding  of  hay.  If  she  is  still  hungry 
after  she  has  consum;d  all  in  the  rack 
she  will  pick  it  up  off  a  perfectly  clean 
floor  and  eat  what  has  dropped.  If  you 
put  twice  as  much  in  the  rack  as  she  will 
eat  at  one  feeding,  she  will  waste  half  of 
it.  It  takes  a  good  appetite  to  make  a 
good  milker  and  the  goat  with  the  good 
appetite  is  rarely  fussy,  provided  her  food 
is  clean  and  palatable.

Most  bulletins  say  "Feed  all  the  rough- 
age the  goat  will  consume".  Novices 
frequently  think  this  pieans  to  leave  hay 
in  front  of  goats  all  the  time.  On  the 
contrary,  the  goat  will  consume  more 
hay  if  it  is  fed  in  meals.  It  spoils  a  goat's 
appetite,  just  as  it  does  a  man's,  to  nibble 
between   meals.

Large  Attendance 
At  Middlesex 


The  South  Eastern  Association  held  a 
most  successful  meeting  at  Middlesex 
University  on  Sunday,  November  2.  at 
which  members  of  the  faculty  gave  talks 
followed  by  question  periods. 

Dr.  Blye,  professor  of  pathology, 
spoke  first  on  poisoning.  Ths  symptoms 
arc:  Sudden  onset  without  apparent  cause; 
a  number  of  animals  affected  at  once; 
spasms:  rapid  heart  beat:  labored  breath- 
ing: champing  and  frothing  at  the  mouth. 
Treatment;  Stomach  tube  or  emetic  im- 
practicable; give  purge  of  castor  oil;  in 
the  case  of  acid  poisoning,  use  alkaline  or 
toap;  in  the  case  of  alkalies,  use  vinegar 
or  lemon. 

For  arsenic  poisoning  from  spra^  1 
leaves,  use  hydrated  iron,  iron  oxide,  ir    -.

Mr.  Herbert  Brown  pointed  out  that 
there  already  are  too  many  milk  laws. 
Better  to  enforce  those  we  have  rather 
than  add  new  ones.  He  feels  any  inspec- 
tion of  dairies  selling  raw  milk  will  be 
so  stringent  we  will  be  glad  to  pasteurize. i

EDITORIAL 


In  1943,  the  goat  breeders  of  Massachusetts  will  probably  present  some  plan 
to  the  legislature  to  regulate  the  sale  of  goat's  milk.  What  this  plan  shall  be,  who 
will  present  it,  how  it  shall  get  proper  backing  and  support,  -  all  these  are  questions 
yet  to  be  settled.  One  factor  already  is  clear  -  we  must  make  a  united  effort.  We 
are  too  small  a  group  to  divide  our  forces  and  to  work  against  one  another. 

The  two  national  associations  have  set  us  an  example  of  intelligence  and  gen- 
erosity in  their  earnest,  honest  efforts  to  forgn  their  differences,  make  workable 
compromises,  and  join  together  to  expend  their  combined  energies  on  dairy  goat 
advanceiment.  The  next  few  years  are  going  to  see  a  tremendous  growth  in  the 
goat  industry,  with  constantly  increasing  opportunities  to  make  money  for  those 
who  are  far-sighted  enough  to  be  ready  to  grasp  them. 

But  no  nation,  no  national  organization,  no  small  club,  ever  made  the  best 
of  its  opportunities  while  it  was  divdcd  against  itself,  while  the  individuals-  who 
made  up  the  group  were  more  absorbed  in  their  wrongs  or  their  personal  gains 
than  in  the  welfare  of  the  group  as  a  whole. 

The  AGS  and  the  AMGRA  have  shown  themsdves  wise,  generous  and  far- 
seeing.  Each  has  had  to  give  up  something  it  valued;  both  will  gain  tremendously 
by  combining  with  the  other. 

So  when  we  come  to  our  own  local  legislation,  let  us  remember  that  no  law 
is  equally  favorable  to  all.  But  only  with  a  united  front  can  we  possibly  win. 
So  let  us  put  personal  preferences,  personal  grievances,  personal  pettiness  behind  us 
and  go  forward  together. 


INNOCENT  MAN 
(Continued  from  page  one) 
of  milk  (inspected  raw  milk)  rather  than 
killing  it  in  questionable  milk  (Pasteur- 
ized milk) .  Mr.  Gillies  reasoned  that 
the  State  inspectors  themselves  say  no 
T.  B.,  Undulant  Fever  or  Mastitis  has 
been  found  in  any  tests  in  Massachusetts 
on  goats  or  their  imilk.  Why  then, 
shouldn't  we  find  the  State  Board  of 
Health  Members  ready  to  listen  to  our 
igid  self  inflicted  legislation  for  inspec- 
tion, barn  standards,  and  the  sale  of  the 
natural  pure  product? 

Taking  a  cross  section  of  goat  owners 
(the  ones  who  make  the  great  part  of  onr 
association  members)  we  find  their  herds 
numbering  between  ten  and  twenty  ani- 
mals, therefore,  the  quantity  of  milk 
produced  on  the  average  goat  farm  is  not 
sufBcient  to  warrant  the  running  of  a 
pasteurizer:  thus  some  cooperative  scheme 
with  all  the  attendant  difficulties  would 
have  to  be  devised  if  raw  milk  cannot 
: be  sold. 

I  Another  angle  —  that  of  the  consumer 
—  was  raised  by  Mr.  Tillson.  He  won- 
dered if  present  education  advocating 
pasteurized  milk  might  not  tend  to  have 
them  demand  the  pasteurized  product. 
Mr.  Christiansen  and  other  members  dis- 
agreed, saying  a  clean  barn,  clean  herd, 
and  inspected  milk  and  milk  handlers 
would  be  a  far  greater  selling  point. 

To  summarize,  we  say,  why  condemn 
raw  goats  milk  for  what  other  milk  does. 
It  hasn't  shown  positive  reactions  to  any 
of  the  ills  now  being  counteracted  in 
cows  milk  by  pasteurization.  Let's  keep 
all  the  vitamins  and  minerals  IN  and  the 
bacteria  OUT.  Don't  hang_  a  man  be- 
cause some  on*  thinks  he  might  commit 
a  crime!

HOW   HEALTHY  ARE   OUR   GOATS 
By  A.  F.  Konig 


Not  so  very  long  ago  the  writer  had  a 
conversation  with  a  cow  dairy  farmer 
about  the  health  and  life  of  his  animals, 
and  when  he  ventured  to  say  that  forcing 
them  too  hard  might  prematurely  under- 
mine their  health,  he  was  told,  that  all 
this  farmer  was  interested  in  was  a  "milk- 
ing machine"  out  of  which  he  was  going 
to  get  all  he  could  while  it  lasted.  In  a 
recent  issue  of  the  American  Bee  Journal 
among  the  editorial  pages  the  writer  came 
upon  the  following  lines:  "It  can  hardly 
be  regarded  as  a  healthy  sign  when  the 
followers  of  any  industry  lose  interest  in 
the  fundamentals  and  become  interested 
only  in  the  size  and  price  of  the  output". 
No  better  and  more  fitting  statement  could 
be  made  than  this.  Interest  in  the  well- 
being  of  our  charges  should  be  paramount 
and  if  we  lose  this  interest  and  if  we  befog 
our  outlook  in  this  respect  and  can  only 
think  of  the  materialistic  side  of  our

How   Healthy  Are  Our  Goats 

(Continued  from  page  threel 
labor,  we  are  doomed  and  are  digging  our 
own  graves  quite  apart  from  the  fact  that 
we  are  throwing  all  of  our  Christian  feel- 
ings of  Brotherly  Love  overboard  which 
should  also  apply  to  our  dumb  brethren 
cf  our  domestic  environments.  After  all. 
we  are  only  the  highest  animal  in  the 
process  or  progress  of  evolution  and  we 
must  assume  that  our  domesticated  animals 
have  a  certain  soul-life  of  their  own.  For 
this  reason  thev  must  be  able  to  lead  a 
contented  or  discontented  existence.  This 
in  turn  must  have  a  bearing  upon  health, 
energy    and    utility. 

We    have    been    in    the    habit    of    being 
rather    boastful    about    the    hralth    of    our 


goats.  Not  so  very  long  ago  the  writer 
happened  to  see  a  statement  in  one  of 
our  trade  papers  where  a  member  of  the 
veterinarian  profession  stated  or  claimed 
goats  to  be  immune  to  T.  B.  It  would 
indeed  be  nice  and  consoling  if  such  was 
true  but  it  is  not.  Yes.  our  goat  herds 
in  this  country  are  exceptionally  free 
frcm  T.  B..  and  we  most  sincerely  hope 
this  state  of  affairs  will  continue.  There 
are.  however,  great  doubts  in  the  writer's 
mind  that  such  will  be  the  case  for  T.  B. 
infested  goats  in  certain  parts  of  Europe 
have  already  become  quite  a  problem. 
You  will  rightly  ask  why  this  should  be. 
The  answer  in  plain  En^glish.  is  "human 
greed".  Our  American  buffalo  ■  had 
neither  T.  B.  nor  Bangs  Abortion  nor  any 
of  the  imany  ailments  our  modern  cow 
herds  are  suffering  from  for  the  reason 
that  our  buffaloes  led  normal  lives.  When 
wc  cleaned  out  our  T.  B.  infested  cow 
herds,  it  took  mostly  our  best  animals. 
One  case  came  to  the  writer's  attention 
where  a  farmer  lost  his  entire  herd  except 
the  bull.  He  had  built  up  his  herd  to 
heavy  producers  by  rigid  culling  over  a 
period  of  1  2  years.  Should  it  not  be  odd 
that  all  his  cows  were  infected  but  not 
his  bull?  It  might  of  course  have  been 
accidental,  but  may  I  not  suggest  the 
thought  that  the  wear  and  tear  the  cows 
were  subjected  to  .as  well  as  their  heavy 
feeding,  constituted  a  heavier  drain  on  the 
body  and  rendered  the  cows  more  su.scep- 
tible?  We  believe,  of  course,  we  hive 
eradicated  T.  B.  among  our  cattle.  The 
writer  is  more  inclined  to  think  we  have 
eliminated  our  susceptible  cattle  through 
culling  just  as  we  try  to  eliminate  our 
poor  producers  by  the  same  methods. 
Hence  h»  f  els  T.  B.  will  raise  its  ugly 
head  again  after  a  period  of  years. 

Let  us  now  take  a  look  at  our  goats. 
As  mentioned  before,  T.  B.  infestation 
in  Europe  is  quite  serious.  This  is  no 
doubt  due  to  the  fact  that  intensive  forc- 
ing has  lowered  the  vitality  of  these  ani- 
mals. Give  us  another  10  or  20  years 
and  human  greed  for  higher  yields  is  more 
than  apt  to  put  our  goats  into  similar 
conditions.  Would  it  not  be  better  to 
put  on  our  brakes  and  bring  our  goats 
to  a  reasonable  production  level  and  to 
keep  them  healthy,  than  to  push  pro- 
duction too  far  and  out  of  proportion 
for  the  size  and  capacity  of  her  body  and 
to  invite  disease?  No  matter  how  hard 
you  push,  be  it  goat  or  cow.  there  is  a 
load  limit  and  beyond  this  load  limit 
we  can  never  go  and  we  must  come  to  an 
end  like  the  famous  Tower  of  Babel. 
Would  it  therefore  not  be  better  to  place 
a  "ceiling"  on  our  production  aims 
rather  thin  allowing  the  sky  to  be  the 
limit.  What  good  is  an  eight  quart  pro- 
duction if  we  stand  a  mighty  good  chance 
to  lose  such  an  animal  on  ac-our^t  of  milk 
fever,  a  ri'k  of  contracting  T.  B.  because 
of  heavy  drain  on  the  animal's  system  or 
a  host  cf  other  things  which  are  the  dir- 
ect result  of  overstimulation  of  milk  .se- 
cretion. The  udder  is  only  part  of  the 
sex  system.  If  we  allow  one  arm  of  ou^-s 
to  do  all  the  work  the  other  soon  deteri- 
o'ates.  Should  there  be  an  excepti':~n  in 
the  sex  system  of  goat'  or  cows?  What 
is   your  vedict   about   this   matter?

''MyWife's  Goats'' 
Diary  Of  A  Dairy 

(Continued    from   last   month) 

July  15th  —  The  baby  has  finally! 
gone  to  the  hospital  to  see  if  they  can  j 
do  something  about  the  eczema.  Our  I 
own  doctor  has  tried  everything  he  knows, 
and   has  turned  it  all   over  to  a  specialist. 

July  20th  —  This  morning  was  damp 
and  gloomy.  My  wife  is  nervous  and 
restless  with  the  baby  away  and  finally 
she  said.  "I  am  going  haying.  I  can't 
stick   around   the   house   another   minute." 

"Haying.'  What  for  are  you  haying? 
Bendes    you    C3n't    hay    in    wet    weather." 

A  few  little  pleasantries  passed  between 
us  and  finally  I  went  up  into  the  barn 
loft.  Now  only  a  woman  would  have 
done  this.  Two  long  clotheslines  hung 
I  with  bunches  cf  leaves.  mostly  ash. 
maple  and  oak.  There  was  lots  of  room 
and  lots  of  air  and  she  was  bringing 
them  in.  even  wet.  and  hanging  them  up 
to  dry.  Says  the  goats  will  like  th:m 
next  winter.  Looks  like  a  fire  hazard 
to  me.  I  told  her  plainly  that  if  we  had 
any  goats  we  would  feed  them  right  on 
good  timothy  hay  and  she  needn't 
economize  by  cutting  twigs  like  a  peasant. 

August  1  —  Baby  has  been  in  the 
hospital  for  two  weeks,  but  today  for 
the  first  time  she  begins  to  look  better. 
The  specialist  is  trying  a  new  formula. 
If  it  works,  that  settles  the  goat  question. 
The  baby  on  a  soecial  diet.  Bobby 
healthy  and  I  won't  ri:k  any  trouble 
changing  his  milk,  I  jolly  well  won't 
drink  milk  from  any  goat  in  spite  of 
all  the  tallyhoo  I  hear,  and  ^ny  wi'^e 
doesn't  drink  much  milk  anvhow,  so  it 
was  a  good  idea   .but  it  is  finished. 

August  3,  Sunday  —  Took  a  long 
driv;  to  a  new  place  for  Irn-ch.  Coming 
hTme,  we  stooped  at  a  hie  cow  dai-^v 
'hat  said  "Visitors  Welcome".  Thought 
I  would  convince  my  wife  that  cow's 
milk  was  pretty  good.  Did  that  place 
shine  and  was  it  clean?  More  glass  and 
poli'hed  metal  and  wet  clean  cement: 
machints  and  bottles  and  steam  and 
motors.  Those  places  must  be  expensive 
and  they  have  to  sell  a  lot  of  milk  to 
make  them  pay. 

But  what  took  our  eye  was  a  nice 
looking  guy  in  clean  blue  jeans  leading 
a  b:autiful  blond  cow  arcund  and 
around  a  ring.  What  was  that?  Why 
a  cow  on  advanced  registry  test  being 
exercised.  She  had  two  exercise  periods 
a  day  to  keep  up  her  appetite.  And  she 
wasn't  allowed  to  just  stand  around. 
When  the  clock  said  time  to  exercise,  she 
exercised. 

If    it    hadn't    been    just    that    hour,    we 

wouldn't    have    been    allowed    to    see    her. 

One    man    takes    all    the   care   of    her:    she 

has    a    big    box    stall    to    herself:      she     i' 

milked  every  eicht  hours:   is  not  disturbed 

durin<!    her    cud-chewing    hours    even     by 

i  one    fly    or   her   caretaker,    and     a     strange 

vi-iior    is    absolutely    taboo:    her    food    is 

j  weighed  and  measurrd  to  the  ounce.     The 

1  man    said    "It    is   all    a    matter   of   keeping 

up    her   anpetite    and    keeping    her    happy.

The  late;t  subscription  to  be  placed  on

s  from  Alaska. 


We  have  had  called  to  our  attention 
an  article  entitled  "The  Wonders  of 
Goat's  Milk,"  by  Orcella  Rexford,  B. 
Sc.  N.D.,  in  the  September  issue  of 
Modern  Health  News. 


■  A  goat  does  not  mind  cold:  it  dislikes 
a  draft,  and  dampness  in  cold  weather  is 
disastrous. 


I  MY  WIFE'S   GOATS 

■  (Continued    from    page    6) 

Any  good  cow's  milk  would  come  up 
nearly  a  third  by  taking  the  same  pains 
with  her.  She  has  six  meals  a  day  and 
is  hungry  for  every  one  of  them." 

My  wife  thinks  if  she  had  just  one  or 
two  goats  she  could  give  them  that  cure 
and  get  quarts  and  quarts  of  milk. 
That's  all  the  good  it  did  to  take  her  to 
a  cow  barn. 

August  5  —  Baby  is  home  fro;m  the 
hospital  with  a  new  formula  and  is  my 
face  red!  The  basis  of  the  new  formula 
is  evaporated  goat's  milk  and  her  skin 
is  clearing  up.  My  wife  is  in  a  frenzy 
of  excitement.  Why  evaporated?  Why 
not  fresh.  She  says  the  doctor  explained 
very  carefully  that  they  always  use 
evaporated  so  that  the  baby  can  have  the 
same  milk  at  home  as  at  the  hospital. 
He  told  us  about  the  difficulties  of  finding 
a  good  source  of  clean  goat's  milk  the 
year  around.  The  butter  fat  should  not 
vary  much,  either,  and  that  is  hard  to 
control  in  raw  milk.  He  says  baby  will 
like  evaporated  just  as  well  as  r'W.  N">v 
just  picture  when  baby  is  Bobby's  age 
sitting  down  at  the  table  with  a  glass  <>• 
canned  milk.  Not  my  child.  I  am  posi- 
tive that  she  inherits  from  me  a  distinct 
aversion  to  anything  and  everything  that 
comes  out  of  a  tin  can.  Goats  it  is  and 
no  time  to  spare.

YESj  it's  easy  to  see  why  goat  owners 
get  so  enthusiastic  about  Goat 
Chow.  They  know  that  Goat  Chow  con- 
tains the  essential  ingredients  needed 
for  top  milk  production.  Fed  to  goats, 
it  helps  them  milk  at  a  higher  level  for 
months  after  coming  fresh.  What's 
more.  Goat  Chow  has  what  it  takes  to 
keep  goats  in  good  body  condition.  It  is 
exceptionally  palatable  and  free  of  the 
fine  dusty  particles  often  found  in 
home  prepared  mixtures. 

Feed  Goat  Chow  to  your  does  whUe 
in  milk  or  when  dry.  For  kids  and 
growing  goats,  feed  Purina  Calf  Start-

LARGE   ATTENDANCE. 
(Continued  from  page  one) 

worms  arc  so  rare  that  we^  need  not  con- 
sider them.  Tricostrongeles  are  the 
cOmirnpn  ones:  stomach,  nodular  and  in- 
testinal worms.  Worming  goats  does  not 
get  them  in  one  dose  because  the  larvae 
go  through  the  body  and  blood  before 
they  locate  in  the  digestive  tract.  Sani- 
tation and  repeated  wormings  are  best. 
Keep  away  from  ground  grazed  by  cattle 
or  sheep.  Parasites  are  like  germs  in 
that  they  develop  an  immunity  in  animals, 
hence  older  goats  are  less  affected  than 
kids.  .Clean  animals,  however,  even 
though  they  show  no  effects  of  the  wonns, 
eat   less.  ,

called  'colloidal  "iodine",  20%  suspens- 
Old,  made  by  Merck  and  Co.  Use  a 
2,-4%  solution,  or  one  teaspoon  to  three 
ounces  of  water,  ,  Dose  is  one  ounce  for 
jgrovvn  goat  or  two  thirds  for  smaller 
animal.  Use  bulb  injector,  and  inject 
into  cheek  pocket,  being  sure  that  the 
nose  is  not  held  higher  than  the  eyes. 
This  is  good  for  tape  worms  as  well  as 
the  others  and  is'  a  fine  source  of  iodine. 
This  iodine  is  ..primarily  a  cure  for 
coccidiosis  or  bloody  diarrhea  of  the 
infectious  kind.  For  other  kinds,  use 
linseed  oil  and  lime  water,  4  oz.  to  a  kid. 
This  disease  does  n-ct  go  from  chickens 
to  goats.  Worm  eggs  have  to  incubate 
24  hours  before  they  can  infect  an  animal. 
Clover  is  th;  best  plartt  for  the  larvae 
to  climb  on  .  ,  .  they  climb  up  the 
moisture  from  the  dew  and  are  eaten. 
Grain  mites  are\not  dangerous  to  animals. 

Dr.  Sussman  spoke  on  piastitis  and 
pasteurization.  Mastitis  in  -cows  is  from 
a  streptococcus  infection  in  90%  of  the 
cases,  in  goats  from  -staphylococcus.  Goats 
are  resistant  to  .tuberculosis  but  not  im- 
rtiune.  He  advocated  pasteurization.  To 
pasteurize;  set  a  bottle  of  milk  in  water, 
with  the  water  54  inch  above  the  milk 
line.  Bring  the  water  to  a  boil  in  not 
less  than  eighteen  minutes.  This  will 
bring  the  milk  to  195  degrees.  The 
water  and  milk  should  presumably  both 
be  cool  to  start.  He  advises  washing  the 
udder  with  one  pay .  in  1000  chlorine 
solution  (which  is  one  tenth  per  cent 
chloramine  solution)  . 

Dr.  Wei'sz  spoke  on 'the  problems  'of 
diagnosis,  and  this  was  followed  by  a 
talk  on  feeds  by  Mr.  Broderick,  in  charge 
of  -animal-  husbandry.  He  offered  to 
analyze  any  fcod  submitted  to  him  as  to 
its  nutritive  value: 

Dr. -Davidson-  gave  a  talk  on  goat 
milk,  its  composition  and  properties.  He 
showed  the  essence- that  gives  ifits  taste, 
as  well  as  the  butter  fat  and  other  in- 
gredients.
