goats' milk equivalent nutriments to one dozen eggs, or one and one-fourth 

 pound of the best beefsteak. 



The flavor of goats' milk can be compared to that of the very best cows' 

 milk when properly handled. An illustration of this is given in an article 

 taken from "The Goat Keeper," in which a fussy old maid who could smell 

 or taste things no ordinary human could, becomes prejudiced against goats' 

 milk. 



"A GERMAN LANGENSALZAER MILCH GOAT," by Dettweiler, 

 Bulletin No. 68, B. A. I., U. S. Dept. of Agri. 



"Sister came to visit me again but I decided not to mention the fact 

 that I didn't have to buy any more milk. I wanted to see what she would 

 do when I offered her goats' milk without telling her what it was. I set goats' 

 milk custard before her, goats' milk bread, goats' milk cake, and plain goats' 

 milk, for her tea. Well, the first thing she did was to pour the milk into 

 her cup for tea. She got too much milk in, so drank out some, and smacked 

 her lips on it, then poured in her tea. I waited, almost breathless, for her 

 to make a face and declare it was goats' milk, although it was perfectly 

 odorless, just creamy milk. She never said a word, but I had hard work 

 to keep from screaming with laughter. I had fooled her. If I could her, 

 I could anyone. Well, after the dinner was over, I told her I was getting 

 almost three quarts of milk from one goat. 'What,' she said, 'was that 

 goats' milk I had?' loud enough to have been heard one-eighth of a mile 

 away. 'Yes,' said I, quietly, although I was what they call 'bursting in- 

 side,' 'everything was made of it.' 'Well, I would never have known the 

 difference.' And she heaved a sigh as though exhausted."
