GOATS.
Goats abound on the Welsh mountains; it is, indeed, an animal that loves the great hills. The Welsh goats are white; they are very active, and walk on the brink of precipices, and take the most wonderful leaps. The scent of a goat is unpleasant, but it is thought to prevent infection amongst cattle.
Horses are very fond of goats. They are more common in France than with us. In that country one sees a goat with nearly every flock of sheep.
Goats' flesh is called “kid.” Do you remember how Jacob deceived his father with the skin and meat of a kid of the goats?
PIGS.
