Goats' milk is generally claimed to be free at all times from germs of tuberculosis.
Cannot be told from cow's milk by taste.
Excellent for coffee and in cooking.
The goat is claimed by its friends to be greatly the superior of the cow for milk, for the following reasons:
The goat is naturally cleanly.
The goat is easy to keep clean because of her small size. Goats can be and are put into tubs and scrubbed and sterilized when being used as foster-mothers in baby hospitals. But no such treatment is possible with a cow.
A goat can easily be taken from place to place with a family. A cow could not be transported without great expense.
Goats eat far less than cows. Eight milch goats can be kept on the food of one milch cow. The same quality of food should be furnished.
I believe there is a great future in America for the milch goat.
