On many occasions during the past dozen years The Advance, The New Liskeard Speaker and The Cochrane Northland Post have referred td the apparent value of goats to this North Land. Some time ago The Northland Post not only showed the theoretical case for the goat in the North, but also described an actual goat farm near Cochrane where this form of live stock prospered and thrived. Now, along comes a new newspaper, The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, with an editorial article on goats for the North. The Northern Tribune could further help along the matter by interviewing the Dominion Experiâ€" mental Farm at Kapuskasing and getâ€" ting the expert opinion of the men in charge there, the superintendent, for instance, being one of the first in pioneering this country in the farming line. In the meanime the reference to goats as made by The Northern Triâ€" bune may be given, as follows:â€" Another Newspaper Tries To Get Goat of North "British Columbia has become quite a goatâ€"raising province, and many highâ€"class pure bred herds are now flourishing there. The old prejudice against goats as noisome explorers of | reeking tin cans and marauders of clothes lines is rapidly disappearing, in | the light of high medical commendaâ€" tion of their virtue. Los Angeles, which is a fussily clean city, has many enâ€" thusiastic backyard keepers of nannies.| whose milk is highly valued for the household, and it has sovereign virtues as being entirely free from taint or disease and more akin to the human mothér‘s mammary nourishment than cow‘s milk. We believe a great mistake is made by the provincial government in inducing poor settlers to buy pure bred or grade cows at a figure they canâ€" not afford, when a good milch goat would supply all the family with an abundance of rich milk an surplus for butter making, cost next to nothing . to keep, give no trouble as to diseases.; can be stabled in very small space in winter and live hardily on not much more than table scraps. It is not unâ€" common for a settler to lose a good cow shortly after he has purchased her on time payments from the government, and the loss is most burdensome. Feedâ€" ing and breeding her is another item of time and expense, reducible to a small item in case of goats with government supervision.

The auditorium was> packed to the very last seat and the young performers did both themselves and their instructors great credit. Mr. A. Suttie, Jr., has had charge of the work of this choir. In the training for the operetta, Miss Watson and Miss Marshall prowved very able assistants. rose Gibson as the "Princess Snowâ€" White" surprised eéeven her most hopeâ€" ful wellâ€"wishers by the grace and charm of her acting. Alice Ayre as the "Prince" was very good indeed, her voice in the solo parts calling forth wellâ€"merited applause. Lily Brown actâ€" ed the part of the jealous "Queen" with a snap and vivacity that added greatly to the performance, while Walâ€" lace Wagg as "Carl the Huntsman" fitâ€" ted into his part exceptionally well. The chorus of forest children consistâ€" ed of:â€"Lizzie Brown and Margaret Suttie as leaders. Arminta McJanet, Florence Johnston, Myrian Myers, Phylâ€" lis McCann (as "Arbutus"), Nellie Ayre, Marian Gibson Sophia Todran (as "Daffodil"), Irene Varker. . Their fowâ€" erâ€"bedecked costumes made a pretty picture. In front of them the little chorus was arranged in dresses of varyâ€" ing shades of blue. They were Stella Brown, Viola Laffin, Jean Andrews, Kathleen Ayre, Beatrice Knutson and Sarah Firth. The picturesque dwarfs in pointed hats and long brown beards we could not distinguish at first. In their dance around the "Princess" some of them accidentally lost their their hats. This helped us somewhat and we have since found out who the others were:â€"viz:â€"Nancy Holding as "Max," Bernice McDonald as "Hans," Charlie Ayre, Donald Gibson, Douglas Moddle, Mildred McCaw, Irene Ayre. The children‘s voices had been carefully trained and their acting was most spontaneous and pleasing. As a result As compared with the monthly averâ€"| age production for the calendar year 1928, the Porcupine Camp showed a deâ€" cline of $91,000 while Kirkland Lake increased its m.onthly output by $35,000. ' For all gold mines, the production for| January of this year, $2,663,274, was $55,313 less than the monthly average | for 1928.
