 containing too much moisture will be very soft. 



The cheese is usually molded in a cylindrical form, 1% inches in diameter 

 and 2% inches long, and wrapped in parchment paper and tinfoil. It may be 

 marketed, however, in small three or four-ounce paper boxes. 



Fig. 9. The goat at the right of the photograph was brought from the Cata- 

 lina Islands. The next doe, her daughter, sired by a pure-bred Toggenburg buck. 

 The next one is the granddaughter, being three-quarters Toggenburg, while the 

 doe on the extreme left is the great granddaughter, being seven-eighths Toggen- 

 burg. 



Condensed Milk. Evaporated milk from goats' milk is now manu- 

 factured in a large condensory in Monterey County in this state. It 

 is largely used for infant feeding. 



Ices. Ice cream and ice milk are made of goat cream and milk 

 frozen in the same manner as from cows' milk and cream, and make 

 very pleasing dishes.
