Goats as Brush Eaters 
The article on goats as eaters of rough- 
age, page 98G, brings up something of a 
train of thought. The goat, as commonly 
seen about a house, running everywhere 
or tied up with a rope, is a good deal of 
a nuisance, but it could be made really 
valuable. I recall a sturdy hilly of my 
district school days who really earned 
the right to a longer existence than was 
granted him. lie was the only member 
of his species belonging to a herd of cows, 
and he went to the field with them as if 
he were bovine instead of cnpurine (if 
there was only such a word), not seeming 
to cost much of anything, for he would 
eat mostly of such coarse forage as the 
cattle did not like. 
The idea is that a few goats could be 
kept on a farm in such districts as grow 
naturally much to brush and brambles. 
I was reared in the hill district of East 
Central New York, where the soil was 
the natural producer of bushes and briars. 
It was next to impossible to keep them 
out of the feuce rows and they would 
grow up in a clearing at an astonishing 
rate. What a godsend a small herd of 
goats would have been there! 
Last Winter I visited the Holy Land, 
and in traveling about Jerusalem I was 
at first quite unpleasantly impressed by 
the bald appearances of the many rouuded 
hills to be found there. It was too early 
for the good growth of grass to be 
scorched off, and it had the slopes all to 
ilself. Not p tree or a shrub there, spite 
of the much added interest that wooded 
growths would lend to these districts. 
Wheu I saw the men and boys going 
out every day with their flocks of a few 
sheep and a lot of goats to pasture these 
fenceless, also defenseless, elevations, just 
as they had done since the days of Abra¬ 
ham. I knew why they were treeless. 
The sheep ate the grass, the goats took 
care of the coarser growths. So it hap¬ 
pens that civilization, in trying to im¬ 
prove on the balance of tilings, quite often 
overdoes this or that natural condition. 
I once heard a farmer complaining that 
the birds were not as numerous as they 
used to be. wheu he had discarded rail 
fences and occasional thickets, miming 
entirely to wire fences and cultivated 
crops. Where were the places for timid 
birds? J. w. c.

Staggering Pigs 
I have a pig that when it is fed will 
take a drink, then run back, keel oyer and 
kick as if it were choking. When it 
comes out of that spell, it shakes as 
though it had a chill. It has had those 
spells for about three weeks. w. it. b. 
New York. 
When a pig suffers from indigestion tor 
any cause it. often shows symptoms of 
vertigo or dizziness, such as you describe. 
In some cases the pig even staggers about 
and then falls in a tit or convulsion when 
excited at feeding time. We have often 
seen pigs, and calves as well, have a sud¬ 
den spasm of the gullet from drinking 
milk too quickly when very hungry or 
thirsty, and wo therefore advise that 
calves should be fed oftener and made t«> 
drink slowly. I'igs are also less liable 
to lits when not allowed to become too 
hungry, and when given free access to 
drinking water at all times. Substitution of 
thick slop for thin slop or milk sometimes 
prevents occurrences such as .Vou describe. 
Care should also be taken to remove 
froth or foam from separator milk before 
feeding it to pigs or calves. In the case 
in question we should advise you to give 
the pig a full dose of castor oil in milk 
or Epsom salt in warm water or slop. 
The oil is preferable for little pigs. If 
you notice worm in the feces, and they 
are often present wheu a pig has fits or 
indigestion, destiny them by withholding 
feed for -1 hours and then give HO drops 
(two cubic centiaiders) of oil of cheno- 
poditiin in half an ounce of castor oil for 
every 50 lbs. of body weight of pig. Re¬ 
peat the treatment in two weeks and again 
should symptoms of worms recur. If no 
worms are seen in the feces wheu the 
preliminary dose of castor oil is given, 
mix a tablespoonful of limowater in each 
pint of milk fed daily, and feed oftener 
than has been been done in the past. Also 
let the pig graze green crop and have 
some corn ■>)• ground hurley and middlings, 
hut feed very lightly at first and increase 
the amount of feed as the pigs thrive. 
It may be that signs of worms have al¬ 
ready been noticed. If so. give the treat¬ 
ment for worms at once, without the pre¬ 
liminary dose of castor oil. Keep the 
bowels active at all times, and do not let 
the pig become very thirsty or hungry,
