By Edna Robbins
Goats are odoriferous: __ That's
a myth— unless it happens to be
a mister. Folks who think goats
have disagreeable odors have been
led astray by an old myth, so
experts tell us. If you still insist that you have a whiff of an
odoriferous goat maybe it was the
buck, who is a trifle strong, but
mind you, never the lady goat.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Feuerbacher of North Ann Arbor
street began to raise goats about
eight years ago they have learned
much about them through experience and told us some interesting
things, when we stopped to see
their goats recently. At present
they have nine, five of which are
milked. All, Peggy, Kelly,
Nancy, Sanny, Snookie, Goldie,
Sally, and even Polly (the four-
months-old baby of the goat
family) know their names and
come a running when they are
called. They are an affectionate,
intelligent animal, as gentLe as a
lamb, and obey well. 'Never insult a goat by calling it a "Billy"
goat * or a "Nanny" goat—it
shows ill-breeding. . The goats
don't really eat tin cans in fact
they are very fussy about their
food, insisting on having their
dishes immaculately clean. If one
of the other goats has had his
nose into the dish, all of the
others refuse to eat out of it until he is given another clean dish
with a fresh helping or food.
They are clean in other ways,
too, and never have an "accident"
in the milking room. Most of the
goats are white Saanen, except
for Goldie, who has horns and is
a mixture of Nubian and Saanen,
and Kelly, who is a black Alpine.
Kelly came when she was called, proudly parading through
the chicken yard and stall
into the milking room, which
is kept as clean as the "'j'.mes
of Holland. Mrs. Feuerbacher
had just filled a pan of food
for Kelly, and she jumped up
on the milking stand (which
happens to be one of Mr. Feur-
bacher's inventions, folding away
neatly against the wall when not
in use) and had a littlel feast.
Sometime in the afternoon the
goats are brought in from the
field tr> get the gas oil their
stomachs.
The Feuerbachers buy "and resell goats as well as being licensed dealers for selling their
milk. The code at present is the
same as for cow's milk, but may
be changed. This keeps them
busy sterilizing, scalding and
scrubbing, keeping daily records
-—but they like it and consider
each goat as important as if it
were a member of the family.
All of the goats have been tested for undulant fever so there
i$ no danger of contracting the
dread disease from the milk.
A few -weeks ago the herd
numbered 18. When Diane was
sold she became so homesick the
new owner had to bring her back,
but she has another new home
with another goat to keep her
company.
Customers arrive daily, from
Ann Arbor, Milan, Macon. Ypsilanti, Clinton, Detroit and other
towns to purchase delicious goat's
milk. If you have never tasted
it you're missing something. Most
folks curiously smell the drink
before they take a sip, but find
it much like cow's milk and if not
told to the contrary would believe
it was from a cow. However,
goat's milk is slightly saltier and
heavier, as the cream remains
distributed throughout the milk
rather than rising to the top as
that of cow's milk. An alkaline
reaction takes place after drinking goat's milk whereas an acid
reaction takes place from cow's
milk. Goat's milk is easily digested, taking only five or six
hours. If put in a shallow pan,
cream will rise to the top for
making butter, as Mrs. Feuerbacher sometimes does. Cheese al-
son can be made. Often recommended by doctors to patients
suffering from stomach ulcers,
goat's milk has been a life-
saver for many, as one experience
proved. A man drove 14 miles to
the Feuerbachers as a last attempt to save the life of his son
who was seriouly ill with asthma
and pneumonia. In a few days
the man came back with a happy
smile on his face; his little boy
was ready to get dressed to be
up  again (
Deliveries are made to nearby
towns also.
Four quarts a day is the average yield of a good goat, with
about 2,000 pounds a year. Cows
may give more milk, but *";oats
are much easier to handle. A
soda fountain at Marshall, HI.,
specializes in milk shakes, malteds
and ice cream. People come 30
miles just to get a malted made
from gnat's milk.
Carl Lutz, also of Saline, has
about 35 goats, either Nubians
or Tongenbergs, all purebred,
which are kept principally for
breeding and selling rather than
for the milk.
The Feuerbacheer goats have
been a great attraction to all of
us, especially to the children, as
the groats love attention and love
to be petted.

Outing*At Portage
Ended In Tragedy
Miss Alifce Mae Burmeister, 20,
daughter o'f Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Burmeister) 10150 Burmeister Rd.,
'Bridgewater township"; was one of
five persons who drowned at Portage lake early Saturday morning
when the motor boat in which
they were riding capsized, to close
with tragedy an outing which a
group of war workers from International Industries, Inc., held at
Glenwood  cottage..
The other victims were John J.
Shanajian. Mr. and Mrs. JacoD
Shelton,.: Duaine Warner, .oil of
Ann Arbor1. The sheriff's department wap informed at 5 a. m.
SaturdaJ^that the party of five
had not returned from the boat ride
since they left shortly after midnight Friday. The beat apparently capsized about 600 yards
from shore on the southeast corner of the lake. Bodies of the
two womeij, which were the first
to be recovered, came to the sur-
-far<_i from .{bout 75 feet of water,
according tff estimates.. The officers' were assisted by 25 cottage
residents, u|mg all available dragging equipment in efforts to locate the llpdies. Officers located
the todies flf the two women before 10 o'cS-Ck Saturday morning
after a series of oil drippings was
noticed on f the water in a line
which ran f diagonally from near
the lake's northeast point towards
the southeast tip. Following the
oil drip line the officers first found
an oar, later a seat cushion and
then, about 7 o'clock, and several
hundred yards down the line. Miss
Burmeister's body which had risen
to the surface. Mrs. Shelton's
body was found on' the surface
about 9 a. m. between the spot
where Miss Burmeister's body
was found and where the
the seat cushion had been picked
up. Later in the morning the capsized boat was discovered well
across the lake where officers
theorized it had drifted. The death
of the Sheltons leaves five children parentless.
Miss Burmeister was born May
16, 1923 in Bridgewater township. She attended the Bridge-
water elementary school and
graduated here from the Saline
High school in 1942. She is survived by her parents; four sisters,
Maxine, Joyce, Carol and Gail
Linda, all at home. Funeral services were held at 1:30 Monday at
the Burmeister home and at 2
o'clock at St. John's church at
Bridgewater, with Rev. M. C.
Phillipp officiating. Burial was
made in St. John's cemetery.

The clerk read bills totaling

same.    Carried.
Motion by Lambarth supported
by Haarer that we adjourn subject to call of Mayor.

A COLtTMNIST tells us that a
daughter is more likely to innerit
the talents of a father than a son.
This includes a talent for business.
At least that is what the deep
students of heredity say. To sub-
statiate this claim- examples are
cited cf daughters who have been
scccessfcl in handling the business of tbeir fathers after sons
failed to display any unusual business ability. No doubt-when business -men in general become conscious of the fact that they have
passed on their talent to their
daughters we will see signs such
as Gross & Daughters or Smith &
Daughter. Such a firm would attract a lot of attention. We can
cite cases of women managing
stores in our home town successfully.

TYPICAL of Michigan weather,
last week it went from one extreme to the other. The sudden
change from hot tocold caused a
lot of colds and earaches among
folks around here. It helped in
one way, though, by halting temporarily the advance of an army
of flies. It is saia that if all the
descendants of a pair of flies in
one season lived, there would be
10,000'COO. Unlike baseball players, the horsefly never has to worry—he's always on the  team.
Sixtieth Anniversary
Of St. James Church
Campaign On
American Legion And
Rotary   Club- To
Solicit Necessary Fund.
Mayor Grcss showed a fine
drawing of the proposed Honor
Roll for our servicemen at the
meeting of the Rotary Club last
Thursday, since which time the
committee in charge of the project have deicided upon a campaign
to raise the necessary money to
put it over in a fitting manner.
All that is needed is $300, which
will be allocated as follows:
$100 to the Red Cross.
$100 for Royal S. Baker, who
is to get the Honor Roll in shape
for  the  finishing  touches.
$50 for material.
$50 for lettering names on the
board.
Teams from The American Legion and Rotary Club will make
a canvass for funds, the former
having the west end of town and
Rotarians the east side. Contributions also may be left at
either bank. It is not expected
to ask anyone for more than he
can spare, b ut as the cause is
such a worthy one little trouble
is anticipated in realizing the
aims of the committee.
The drive will close Sept. 26
with appropriate dedicatory services.
