Feeding Goats.—Goat raising is of importance as an industry 
in only four or five States in the Union, viz., in Texas, New Mexico, 
Arizona, Oregon, and California (Fig. 95). In 1910 there were 
nearly three million goats and kids in the United States, of which 
over a million were in Texas and about one-half million in New

country were found within the borders of the five States mentioned.
