political. and in closing says in part
A newspaper In a community can
do a gr?at deal to promote harmony
are going into the newspaper
fU-ld without any prejudice and wlttr
out any feeling, other than the
Koou of the community by whose
patronage we expect to exist, we
beKcve that on all public matters
the will of the majority should be

as the rights of the Individual, we
believe In the maintenance of law

erything possible to make Cordova

Eat Goat and the Cost of Living
Will Decrease
By GUSTAV BISCHOFF, Prominent Picker
HAT would be more delightful than to Lave tho goat as a
profitable domestic animal introduced here for FOOD
AND MILK to the same extent as the cow is now
I DONT THINK WE NEED ALTOGETHER DESPAIR OF SOME
DAY SEEING A MENU WITH THE SUBSTANTIAL ARTICLES OF
DIET LISTED SOMETHING L' E THIS: SHOULDER 0' GOAT. LOIN
O' GOAT. BREAST 0* GOAT, PHIME RIB O* GOAT. GOAT STEW, GOAT
CHOPS. GOAT NECK.
Of course I am not speaking now of the poor harassed billvgoats
that once in awhile we soe children driving around hitched to carts
and which are abused by every one. They are fed on tin cans and
old clothes and are not fit to make food for us. A goat that is to be
slaughtered should be FED JUST AS WELL AS A STEER. It
i- :i mistake to think that a goat can thrive on scrap iron and broken
glass. lie may manage to live on the bark of a tree, but he will not
make a good roast afterward.
If goat meat were established on the market I think it would sell
for about eleven cents for yearlings when lamb is selling at fourteen
cents a pound. That would be a TOP PRICE FOR GOAT. In
fact, the prices of both might come down considerably, because any
increase we would have in the food supply would tend to BRING
ABOUT A GENERAL REDUCTION OF PRICES.
