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

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

that they appreciate the efforts of tbe
Manager in securing such leading at
tractions. Miss Fischer has starred with her

THE ATTENDANCE AT GRAND OPERA HOUSE
IS INCREASING NIGHTLY.
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.
