Note to the Teacher.—In the popular mind the goat is 
a creature of ridicule found only in dirty city alleys and 
subsisting on old paper or on such refuse as may be 
picked up along neglected roadsides. The wonderful 
usefulness of these hardy creatures and their steadily 
increasing numbers, because of merit of fleece and 
milk, are giving them a place and reputation among 
our most useful animals. In Europe the goat enjoys 
its greatest popularity, and there in numbers it totals 
up into the millions. Point out the many ways that the 
goat may be used in this country.
