THE goat is the mod local of any of our 

 domeflic animals, confining itfelf to the 

 mountanous parts of thefe iflands : his mod belov- 

 ed food is the tops of the boughs, or the tender 

 bark of young trees \ on which account he is fo 

 prejudicial to plantations, that it would be impru- 

 dent to draw him from his native rocks, except 

 feme method could be thought on to obviate this
