Specializes in Goats

Postmaster, W. F. Hoffman, specializes in the breeding of milk goats and has at this time a very fine herd of between twenty-five and thirty animals.
He was the Nubians, Toggenburgs, and Saanen's milk verities.  The Chronicle has just printed for him a recent time a six page folder telling much about the goat and his usefulness and why he, Mr. Hofmann,, happened to become interested in the little animals.  He has been breeding them for the past seven years and if you will note the handsome array of ribbons he has won with his herd and which are on display at the post office you will doubtless be convinced that he has not been without success in the field.  He is recognized as a reliable and successful breeder and has for several years been in charge of the division of animal husbandry at the State Fair of Texas.
From many parts of the country come inquiries to him about the goat and it is to more easily answer these queries than he has prepared the information folder which we recently printed. Only a short time ago Mr. Hofmann received inquiry from Hayti asking for prices on his animals as they desired to make purchase of a certain animal. He has sent animals from this herd to many parts of the country and is making a name for himself in goat breeding.
