The Milch Goat 
Pakt I. 
Since the sire is one-half the herd, it 
would be fitting to start this article upon 
the care and management of goats by giv¬ 
ing an account of what should be expected 
of him and the treatment he ought to 
receive from his keeper. If the goat 
keeper wants to raise his doe kids for 
milk producers, it is necessary that the 
sire be considered very carefully. lie 
should be from a dam with a good milk 
record, and if this sire’s dam was a heavy 
producer, so much the better. Where 
four or more does are kept it is profitable 
to own a buck. lie should have a 
large box stall and a private run. 
With plenty of exercise and kind treat¬ 
ment very few bucks will become cross. 
Our present buck is entering his third 
year and is as gentle as a kid. Although 
he is absolutely fearless, he has never 
offered to harm any living thing. 
The use of a purebred buck is advo¬ 
cated, but if for any reason one cannot 
be obtained, a grade buck kid can be pur¬ 
chased for a small amount, and after a 
year’s use can be disposed of for enough 
to purchase a higher grade kid. so that 
in a short while the keeper will have a 
pure buck for a small original investment 
and at the same time have improved his 
herd each year. Probably no two breed¬ 
ers can agree upon the number of dot's it 
is advisable to permit a buck to run with 
his first season, but most agree that if 
the buck is as vigorous as he should be 
10 or 12 does are not too many if well 
spread over the season. From the time 
he is two years old 50 to 75 will not be 
too many, but during this time if he is to 
be kept growing and in good flesh he must 
be fed about one quart of grain a day 
with carrots and clover or second-cutting 
A Pure Toggenburg Five-quart Milker 
Owned by Editor of the “Goat 
World," California. 
Alfalfa hay, if not on pasture. In buy¬ 
ing a buck pick a large, vigorous animal. 
He must be powerful and masculine, with 
a long, strong back, and well developed 
hind quarters, although not so wide at 
the hips as the female. 
Do not tease him in any way as the 
male of any species of animal after he has 
reached his full development is easily 
made cross. A buck weighing 200 lbs. or 
more and standing from 55 to 58 inches 
at his shoulders is no plaything, even if 
naturally hornless, if he has been spoiled. 
He is naturally playful and affectionate, 
and when feeling that this is a grand old 
world and that it is good to be alive he 
will sometimes stand straight up on his 
hind legs (ours is, I judge, at least a foot 
taller than I), and pretend that he is 
going to strike his attendant. Do not 
pay the least attention to this, and he 
will come down upon all fours and give 
his attendant a friendly rub, wag his tail 
and go off about his busines. M. g. s.
