V' OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1903. THE POOR MAN'S COW. That Milch Goat Are a Boon to Hu manity Will be Shown by a World's Fair Exhibit. By W. C. McCaety. St. Louie The goat is going to butt into popular lavor at the World's fair, The sheep and goats will be separated, and comp.nl ous that may be them, made are sure to win for the goat the linh place that he has merited for many centuries, but which be bad been de barred from possessing because of i popular but unfounded prejudice. During the Universal Exposition the animal Umt li;iB loinicd over Hit) a.-di heap of Keny Priii h, eailng laoelu from tomato cans and paper iroui tiie bill boards, will come inio hiBovsa. Here tofore biB only gliuiiieet of good society have been gained when he was present ed by Mr. Westniore and place to hie youthful foil and heir. Then after precarious existence, during which be erved as a motive power tor an nnlireak able cart, be perhaps committed the in discretion peculiar to goats of lowering his head and colliding foreibly with the young hopeful, and it was back to the patch with his g latehip. The entire wi!d will be drawn upon to vindicate the goat, and to show that be has been a much maligned animal. Mr. George F. Thompson, of the United States liuread ol Animal Imluntry an authority ou goats and ottier domestic animals, will tour Europe, Asia and Africa, hud impnit speCLmerirt for Ine World's r a'r uoa: hlmvv uirtt will deniou Btrate n.ti vuiuo in city iri'i country. Although tne nuccess that has ui tend ed the breeding of Ai.gora goats in Aoier c v had done much to awaken the public to the goat's real value, tne pub lie is slow to accept as true the claims that goat breeder b assert and prove. A few years ago Angora goats were not known outside of a few of the southwest em states. T day there is not a state or teriilory in the United Btateeiu which there are hundreds of them. The goat thrives best on land tha has heretofore been considered valueless. On the thickets of a mountains side wlie-e the undergrowth is so dsnse that no other animal can force an entrance the giM eats his way. The brush and the bramble he .devours bodily. Lie gnaws the hark fioin eaplinga as high an he can reach, lie passes by the blue grass and clears the laud for cultivation more thoroughly than can ;he woodmen with his axe. trie enriches the ground, and if blue irrats be indiginons to the soil it springs up spontaneously. When the thickelsare none the Angora goat thrives on vtana equally as well as does 'the sheep, Tne Angora goat'susefullness is mani. festod in various ways. The fleece, technically called "Mohair," furnishes some of the best fabrics known among ladies dress goods as well as plushes, robes, rngi, etc. The fiesli is exceeding ly delicate and nutritious and en the market rinds a ready sale as muttn, and the customers seldom suspect it. The flesh of the kid is better than lamb. The milk, 'hough not abundant, contuuiB more albumen and case in fat and sugar than dues cows milk. Their tanned skins are not suitable for shoe leatner. but good work-jlovos and morocco for bpnt' -';- re largely made from them. Their pelt make ruga and robes of striking beauty and great util ity. Mr. Thompson in tracing the origin of the Angora goat, locates his native habi tation in Asia Minor. He quotes the scriptures to show the value put on the goat's fleece. Exodus XXXVI-14 15. "And he made a curtain of goat's hair fir the tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made then. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain. The eleven curtains were of one size." The thirty-fifth chapter of Exodus re veals that Moses commanded the child ren of Israel to make offerings of poat's hair . mong other things. Mr. Thompson in his European and A"ia t'iu'8 i smelting rpecimena of milch 40ai. His first B'op will be at the Inland ut Malta, the little island in the Mediterranean sea 0' which the Apostle t'aul wa.-i shipwrecked Mr. lhorap son savs that probably no country has brought the raising of fine unlet) goats to tbe state ot pertection attained on this Utile inland Ilia population is arout 2jO,000 and the people there rely almost whol y on the goat. The average yield of milk from a Malta goat is between three and four quarts a day. The Mal tese goats are aoout two ieet, six inches in height ane they often weigh one hun ood pounds. They are generally white 1 1th n h there are many red, brown and luack . There are two varieties of Mai tune Boats, the long and short haired The hair of the former is often four to six inches long. There is no record of a Maltese goat ever being imported to America The Toggpnbiirger goat is imported from a valley in twitzrUnd of tbe same uame I'lii . Boat lias been imported in to America ai.d England and is reck- onod as the h 'i-t milch got for these countries. A Xuiiwn .nirger will yield about four quarts ot milk a day. The Nubian goat in larger by half than the common species. The breed i sensitive to the cold, and in America and England they require a warm goat bouse or barn, and are never sent to pasture wheu there is. danger of frost. There is nc question as to tbe super iority of goats' milk as compared with cows' milk, says Mr. Thompson. It tastes better, is richer and is tbe ideal milk for the infant and sick persoo. There is one sanitarium that supplies its patientB with no other milk than that it gets from a herd of goats. In one Eastern city a charity organization ac quired a number of goats and wheu a cuiid is reported sick a goat is loaned to the family until such time as the goat's milk is no looter ueceBBary. The odor that is reputed to attach to goats' milk Mr. Thompson says is altogether the fault of the surroun lings. Nothing will take up odors and impurities like milk and it the place where the milking be done and where the milk is Btored be kept clean, no odor will be noticeable. The goat is the poor man's cow. The ordinary family in the city may have a supply of the bent milk in the world a a nominal cost h keeping a goat. The animal "vill browse in the back yard and back alley. It will eat anything and everything. Ot course what it eats manifests itself in the milk. The aver age fam'.ly thiows away enough apple, potato and turnip parings, with ether waste from tbe table, to keep a goat in liood condition. The goat will eat the labels off tin cans in going after tha paste, but there in no record that he ever ate the-can itselfv "The goat must have exercise. If his range is not large a ladder placed in tbe back yard will serve bis purpose admirably and he will prove his snrefootednesa in climbing over It. For the best results the goats should be milked three times a day. The Margarita Fischer Company. Among the attractions announced to appear in our city in the near future, is ttie well known and eminent actress, Miss MargariU Fischer, in a grand scen ic revifal of high class repertoire of late andsiandard successes The amusement loving public should feel flattered that Manager Shively has booked such a well known star as Miss Fiscl er, and we 'rust our cit'zens will turnout en masse and demonstrate that they appreciate the efforts of tbe Manager in securing such leading at tractions.

The Grand opera house was comfort ably filled last evening by a very well pleased audience, which had gather d lo witness the performance of the realist ic comedy drama. "Utah," in fact the com pan v ia attracting better houses every evening, and the end ot the weea's engagement will doubtless show a good . week's business. The play in one that should not fail to catch and hold the interest of any audi ence and it has a itood plot and works up to a denouement in the last act, which can be made very strong. There are several good characters in the piay. The part of Daniel Strong, the falsely im prisoned young lawyer, who finally suc ceeds in proving hiinseil guuneHs ol tne crime of which he was accused, was taken by Wm. Winteihoff, who gave a very creditable performance, while the role of John Farnum. tbe stern and unrelenting lather, who tried bv every means to pre' vent the marrying of his daughter with Daniel Strong, was handled by Mr. Frank Montroit). Mr. Robert McKeuzie bad the character of Mr. Caldwell, the farmer to hold do n and succeeded in keeping the , udience amused, ai.d the character is a good one. I. B. McCowell was aeon in the character of Bishop Cannon and Harry Dupuy held the role of Frank Farnum. M.ss Margarita Fischer waa very oapti vating in tbe role of Faith Farnum, and gave a good interpretation of the part in fact, she is unquestionably the maiu Btay of the company, tier work is un denially good and her enunciation clear and distinct. Miss Regina Franceeco and Mise Dot Fischer, respectively had the parts of Mrs. Caldwell and Grace Caldwell, and were up to their unual standard. Bankruptcy Notice.
