Every worker should keep a goal; ai least, lie should have a sufficient area of land over which such animals would ' be tree to roam and give free play to their aggressive characteristics. At any' rate tlie Hon. E. Newman considers, that the workers should have goats, and. ho-delivered his opinion -on the sub feet ' when moving the Address-m-Replv in the Legislative Council yesterday.''.Mr. Newman -was speaking of the Govern-., ment's new bousing scheme, which, he hoped, would have the effect of eucour--•aging people to go into t'lie country .to. Jive. Deploring- the drift to the town's and the depletion of the country population, Mr. Newman maintained that the workers, instead of living in U, e crowd-, •ed parts of cities, should be able tomove further out, where they could-have • an acre -or, so of. land on which' every man would be able to grow his "own vegetables—and keep a goat, which was " a very useful animal. In' this way'the . children grow up with a taste for country hie.
