The compartment where the mother goat is kept -should have in it a good bedding of dry straw or leaves _at the time the goat is about to give birth. This is neces- ‘sary both for the mother herself and the new-born kids.

For this ‘purpose bedding should be always supplied to her for the first - or three weeks.
