A one-page excerpt from Rees's Cyclopedia (1819) on the goat in rural economy, with a cross-reference to the zoological entry under Capra. It covers where goats suit a farm, their milk, cheese, kids, suet, horns and skins, and the use of goat hair for durable ropes and some stuff. It also gives points for choosing and keeping goats, including breeding season and shelter.
