Their hair does not shed water as freely 
as does the wool of sheep. 
I feel perfectly satisfied that the goats 
will pay their way and save great ex¬ 
pense in permanently eliminating brush 
and host plants and avoid the labor of 
annual brush cutting. I believe in two 
years the roots of the plants on which 
they feed will be killed outright. Their 
care is similar to sheep. I have personal¬ 
ly cared for both sheep and goats, and 
much prefer the goats, particularly for 
the purpose for which I have them. 
Last Spring before my pasture was 
fenced, I enclosed a small section of old 
hedge row that had been cut out the 
previous year, the new growth being 4 ft. 
high. In three weeks there was not a 
green thing to be found within this small 
enclosure. Due to the enriching of the 
land, the fact that the roots were still 
alive, vegetation made a most remarkable 
growth, even through the dry weather. 
Before putting them up for Winter, they 
were again turned in this enclosure and 
made a clean up. I expect next year will 
complete the job permanently. 
I am more than pleased with the invest¬ 
ment, and my critical neighbors now quite 
change their views, and already asking if 
I will sell or lend them some of the 
animals. 
Some of my pastures are along the 
State road. It is a very common sight to 
see many cars parked along the fence, 
people stopping to admire and comment 
on these animals which are not usual in 
this section of the country. w. f. h. 
Trouble with Churning 
I am having trouble churning. Milk 
is from a Holstein cow, calved last April, 
due to calve in June, six years old. I 
had no trouble all Summer and Fall; 
churned in 15 minutes. Now I churn 
one to two hours and longer, and only 
get a frothy substance. I have warmed 
the cream, churned both sweet and ripe 
cream, with same results. m. e. r. 
New York. 
The difficulty which you are experienc¬ 
ing in butter-making lies in the fact that 
your cow has been milking for a long 
period of time. It is a characteristic of 
many cows at such times to produce milk 
which contains such small fat globules 
that butter cannot be churned from the 
cream except with difficulty. The milk 
and cream will be normal again as soon 
as the cow 7 freshens. 
This holds true only with certain indi¬ 
vidual cows. In your case where the 
cream foams excessively at churning time, 
I should advise throwing a handful or 
two of salt into the churn. This will fa¬ 
cilitate the “breaking” of the cream into 
butter granules and will often solve dif¬ 
ficult churning due to foaming of the 
cream. j. w. n. 
Limburger Cheese from Goat’s Milk 
"I can’t afford it” 
O CCASIONALLY we hear from a farmer 
that he "can’t afford” a J. B. Colt lighting 
and cooking system! 
This same man would think nothing of 
buying a high-priced cow or of putting hun¬ 
dreds of dollars into improving his barn — but 
he "couldn’t afford” to pay a comparatively 
small amount for an improvement that would 
save his wife hours of drudgery—that would 
make his home a bright, cheerful place where 
neighbors would enjoy calling — that would 
keep his children on the farm — that would 
encourage reading, and cleanliness, and other 
good habits. 
Thefactis/ie cannot afford to he without it. 
Your family deserves the comfort and con¬ 
veniences of a J. B. Colt Carbide-gas system. 
Your wife deserves the saving of energy that 
results from Carbide-gas cooking and from 
the Colt self-heating iron. Your whole family 
deserves the benefits that good, healthy light 
brings to any home. 
The Colt system is perfectly simple, per¬ 
fectly automatic—no lamps to clean, no parts 
to replace, no matches. It consists of a gen¬ 
erator, buried in the yard, which requires no 
attention except recharging (average: two or 
three times a year) with Union Carbide and 
water, and removal of residue, which then 
gives useful service as a whitewash, soil cor¬ 
rective, or germicide. 
From this "gas-well,” the Carbide-gas is 
carried throughout house, porches, barn, poul¬ 
try buildings and grounds, by concealed iron 
pipes. 
Write today for complete information on 
what Carbide-gas lighting will do for you and 
the very favorable terms on which you can 
buy a Colt plant. 
N. B. Do not be deceived by inferior imitations of 
the Colt plant. Representatives for the genuine Colt 
system can furnish credentials. 
Union Carbide for use in the Colt system is distrib¬ 
uted from more than 150 conveniently located Union 
Carbide warehouses throughout the country — direct to 
the user at factory prices. There is one near you.

Can Limburger cheese be made from 
goat’s milk? w. e. b. 
Camp Meeker, Cal. 
The making of Limburger cheese from 
cow’s milk necessitates the use of sweet 
milk of only a few hours’ age. In fact, 
a cheese factory of this type can only 
draw from an immediate neighborhood of 
farms. The milk is delivered warm and 
twice daily, so that the cheesemaker muy 
have the right kind of milk, and he usu¬ 
ally sets the milk for cheese right after 
each delivery. Undoubtedly cheese could 
be made from goat’s milk, but it is wholly 
impracticable as well as inadvisable. For 
the details of Limburger cheese making, 
one must refer to standard text books 
on the subject, or be advised by an expert 
cheese maker. The U. S. Department of 
Agriculture at Washington, D. C., should 
be in a position to send you information 
along this line. j. w. b.
