How I Established a New 
Business with Goats 
Frank Barrett 
EARLY seven years ago I began 
1 looking around for a milk goat as our 
doctor had ordered goat’s milk for our 
little son, who had been seriously ill (and 
before I go further let me say this son is 
now a sturdy lad and still a lover of 
goat’s milk). I expected to find an animal 
as soon as 1 reached the city for a few 
dollars. I scarcely knew what I wanted; 
in fact I scarcely knew how a milk goat 
looked. I soon found there were plenty 
of goats but their owners wanted to keep 
them. I also found out they cost money. 
Finally, I bought a doe, after spending 
three days in the search, for twenty-five 
dollars. The only pedigree given with her 
was the owner’s word that she was mighty 
fond* of browsing around old tin cans. 
Well, maybe she was then, for she was 
a city goat with no available pasture. 
In the course of a few months I saw 
there was a great deal to learn, and I 
availed myself of the opportunity of tak¬ 
ing up a correspondence course sent out

QUESTIONS ABOUT GOATS 
TVTO use talking, goats are getting on 
_ ’ the job as a paying dairy business 
in this country. Mr. Barrett has had 
a long and profitable experience with 
milch goats, so we asked him to tell you 
how to get started. After reading this 
article, if you have questions, send 
them to American Agriculturist and we 
will ask Mr. Barrett to answer them .— 
The Editors. 
by an agricultural college in a western 
state from which I received a good deal of 
valuable information. After handling 
upwards of seventy-five goats, I still fin d 
there is plenty yet to learn. 
More Common in West 
In the East the breeders are not as 
plentiful as in the West, and when you 
want to know anything concerning goats 
you just have to write somewhere or other 
for information. Experience soon taught 
me, after experimenting with a few does, 
that the only way to get anywhere was to 
have the use of a pure bred buck. While 
I could ship my does to a reliable breeder 
at comparatively reasonable expense, with 
four or five does to own such an animal 
would be cheapest in the end. 
There are, of course, different points to 
choose from in selecting such an animal, 
also in buying a doe. The main thing to 
consider is the milk yield in that strain 
and it is desirable to purchase naturally 
hornless stock. By the use of pure bred 
sires, the progeny will be larger and the 
milk capacity in the does will be larger 
and the lactation period longer. Another 
thing hard for a beginner to realize is that 
goats only breed from September until 
February. They rarely do other months, 
so one wishing a continuous milk supply 
will breed part of his does early in the 
season and the rest later. 
I Prefer Saanens 
Personally, I like the Saanens best, but 
I have had no experience with the other 
breeds. The Saanens are a large white 
breed and make a picturesque sight when 
grazing against a dark green background. 
Then, too, it is easier to breed up when 
using native white does for foundation 
stock. From experience, I have learned 
that all grade buck kids should be sold 
for “roosters” when weighing around 
twenty pounds or castrated and sold for 
pets for children. 
As stated previously, we began with 
goats for the purpose of having the milk 
for use in sickness. It is easily digested, 
and, being free from TB, is ideal for 
tubercular patients. The goat is a very 
particular animal as to keeping clean and 
eating only clean food. This no doubt has 
a great deal to do with her milk being 
superior to that of the cow

f)l| can double 
dairy profits 
The net profit from your cows 
can be doubled by increasing 
your total milk production 
only 10% ! Eminent dairy ex¬ 
perts are authority for the cor¬ 
rectness of this surprising fact 
How to use KOW-KARE 
Our free book, “The Home 
Cow Doctor,” tells how to 
use Kow-Kare In treating 
various cow diseases It also 
tells of its use as a disease- 
preventive and stimulant to 
greater milk-flow 
The usual method is to feed 
one tablespoonful twice a 
dey one week out of each 
month Costs only a cent a 
day per cow 
102 More Milk- 
Doesrit it seem possible ? 
i 
Let us suppose your profit last month from your 
cowswas$100. If bya little more intensive methods 
you can get even 10% more milk this month, your 
net profit would be at least $2001 
Surely such a result is worth trying for. It is 
the poor milkers in the herd that eat up the profit 
made by the good producers. Usually they are 
poor milkers because of some impaired condi¬ 
tion of the genital functions—the milk producing 
organs. 
The medicinal properties of Kow-Kare affect just these 
organs. Its toning, stimulating action is quickly appar¬ 
ent. Sluggish cow 9 have improved appetites and assimi¬ 
lation and better milk flow is sure to follow. 
In the treatment or prevention of Barrenness, Abor¬ 
tion, Retained Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, 
Lost Appetite, Kow-Kare has a reputation founded on 
successful use for over twenty-five years. You, too, can 
realize greater profits from dairying through the judici¬ 
ous use of Kow-Kare. Try it. 
Kow-Kare, large package, $1.25; medium size, 
65c—at feed dealers, general stores and drug¬ 
gists. If your dealer is not supplied, we will 
send postpaid on receipt of remittance.
