Goats' Milk Supply Shows Increase app Ottawa, Oct. 9.—,Few goats batt good! That's the gist of goat -rais- ing, one of Canada's healthily ex- panding infant industries, according to indormation at the Department of. Agriculture. "A Canadian doe was among the first fllve milk producers of the world this year—produced 4,287 Pounds of rnrilk-157 pounds of but- ter fat," said A. A. MacMillan, as- sociate chief of the department 'She belongs to Mrs. Mary Lock- wood, of Cobble Hill, BC. There are between 12,000 and 15,- • 000 goats In Canada, pretty well spread over each province. It's a slow-growing industry and, said Mr. MacMillan, no threatto tits dairying or cattle industries. There's plenty of room for both," he said. "They are particularly valuable to the new dlstricte. -You find them dotted about in the northern parts of the Prairie prove inees and in new settlement areas In Quebec. The rocky nature of the land and lack or bay makes dairy- ing difficult, but goats do well." Goats are raised particularly by Canadian mink and fox farms. The "kites'' as the young mink are called' thrive on goat's milk and eventual- ly pelts are finer, said Mr. Mac- Millan. A wide variety of industries are connected with goats. In some European countries as many as 35 kinds of goat cheese are produced. Kids are fattened for six weeks or two months like baby lambs; the meat is tender white and similar in flavor. Sweeter To Taste Goat milk is used in Canadian children's hospitals wherever a regular supply can be had. It Is a little sweeter ho the taste than COW'S milk and has no odor, said Mr, MacMillan, "There is some- times a prejudice against goats be- cause people think thep smell. Only the mate animal has a strong odor —the doe has no odor." Czech settlers near Prescott, Ont., are raising goats for a small fine glove industry. The white skins or certtafn kinds of young kids la espe- cially sought to produce finer gloves for luxury trade. What will happen to the tine glove industries in France and Bel- gium or to the enormous goat herds which supplied the skins for the export glove trade, Mr. MacMillan did not know, but he thought the present war situation would give an impetus to goat raising on this continent and in Canada, FREE SER V I CE ' OLD0DISABbED OR •DEAD s.
