In order to show tho profits to bo derived from keeping goats in tho Upper Alps, where no other kind of stock can graze, the Swiss Journal d'Agriculturo states that in the Valley of Muolta, in tho canton of Schwytz, a herd of 25 goats yielded from the end of Fubrunry to tho beginning of Novembor 1770 gallons of milk, sold for nearly £47, to which must bo added £5 for tho sale of kids; so that oach goat gave a profit of over £2, In another case, a farmer who had arranged to supply a neighbouring spa with the goats' milk so improved the breed of animals that in the course of a few years ho found that ho could get a3 much milk from 150 as he did at first from 250, and this result ho arrived at by feeding them in winter on Jib of potatoes, lib of flour, and 71b of hay, while in summer they always have lib o flour in addition to grass. The 100 sh goats in this herd give birth, on an average to 140 kids. Hero is an account of a plucky Border farmerA Border farmer who recently took a farm in the south of England found himself unable to come to terms with tho railway company for tho removal nf his goods and chattels to his new homo, as the rates asked by tho company were unreasonably high. Nothing daunted, however, this plucky Borderer resolved to bo his own remoral contractor, so ho had his furnituro, implements, etc., packed on his own carts, and, together with his family and servants, set oub on his long journey, which he accomplished in nine days. The cost of his removal in this way was considerably under the rates asked by the railway company.
