Provolt Buys Herd of Fancy Jersey Cows All Young Cattle And Should do Well In That Scc Tlpn of Southern Oregon MANY ANIMALS WITH JIG SHOW Barnum and Bailey Will Show Many Weird Creatures From All Sections of the World When They Are Here August 29 Much hns boon said in the past about southern OrcRon bcinR a, fruit, miriinfr and lumber district, which is all true, but there is ono industry that is Roinp to cut an important fig ure in the next few years and that is dairying, says tho Oreeon Observer. Many of tho peoplo living on tho Ap ilefrato have come to realize that fact in tho last couple of years, though it has taken somo strong argument and more of that Missouri "show me" to convince them by the enthusiasts. Among tbose who have been en thusiastic was E. N. Provolt who says that he can take a herd of 25 Jersey cows and buy any farm on the Applo gato and pay for it from the pro ceeds of the cows. Mr. Provolt has arrived with a herd of 32 Jersey cows which he had purchased at Jefferson, Oregon. They aro all young cattle, and many of them aro thoroughbreds and thcro were none of, them less than fiftecn uxtcenths. With tho exception of two, which calved on the, way from Jefferson here, these cows will all be fresh in the fall. Mr. Provolt is a strong advocate of Jersey cattlo from the dairy standpoint, they being a healthy breed, easy to keep and great producers of butter fat. Mr. Pro volt has a heard of 30 Jerseys, so that the purchase of this last eherd is no experiment for him. He does not intend to keep all of the last herd but will distribute them among his neighbors who desire to get into the dairy business. In commenting on the earning of Jersey cattle Mr. Provolt stated that each one of the Jersey cows would net the owner $1C a month from the butter fat that would be sent to the creamery. Also the dairyman has his own milk and cream and the butter milk, which of itself is an important factor inn tho raising of the calves and also tthe hogs. A herd of 30 cows means $480 a month to tho owner and that is cash money ev ery month for about nine months during tho year. In the rovolt neigghborhood they own one af tho finest full blooded Jersey bulls that there is in the country, it being pronounced equal to any. in the United States, and it is only a question of a few years until every farmer in the Appleggate dis trict will have his herd of Jersey's, and these farmers will always be prosperous and have money. Every one who lived in northern Iowa knows that it was tho farmer with a little band of milkk cows that paid off his mortagage first. In talking with a business man who went up to tho stockyards to look at the new shipment of cows, and who owns ranch land in this county, he stated that if we get irri gation as is now planned, each rancher around Grants ass will raise moro or less alfalfa and then this city will have a creamery, and one of tho most csential things that this city needs is a good creamery. CHINESE PRINCE IN 0NSC0 ON VISIT SAN FIUNCISCO, Aug. '18.--Princo Tsni Chun, commissioner of tho roynl Chinese navy, will arrive in San Francisco on September G from tho Orient, accompanied by a large entouragge. Ho will spend sev eral weeks in tho United States, en gaged in tho study of tho navy. China has authorized the expen diture) of a considerable sum for the advancement of naval affairrsJ among hor officers. Chang Yin Tang Chinese ministor to tho United States, has announced the coming of several other parties of titled Chinese after Princo Tsai Chun, who will look into coast dofenso matters. Tho prince and his suit will leave San Francisco on thoir return trip on October 4. THINK RAWN RELATIVES WILL NOT TRY FOR MONEY CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Insurance men genorally boliove that tho rela tives of Ira G. Rawn, late president of tho Monon railroad, who met his death mystoriously in his summer homo in Winnokta, will mako no at tempt to collect tho $105,000 of ac cident insurnnco which Ruwu hold. Thud far no claim for the money called for in tho accident policies has beon made. It is believed that tho widow will not enter a claim for tho insurance as she does not wish to ro-opon tho in vestigation into tho death of Ilawn, who was found in his room with a gunshot wound in tho head, recently. Ono of tho things that has added greatly to tho famo ot tho Barnum aud B.itley circus Is tho mcnagcrlo. Tho management has always held that In building up and maintaining a really great managorla It was doing untold good to tho youth of tho land as well as entertaining thorn. It is a good thing for nil boys and girls to road natural history. How much moro bcnefitlal Is It to bring theso animals beforo tho eyes ot tho stu dent whoro ho may study them at close rango. Tho Barnum & Bailey clacur is tho only ono in tho world tint has Its own animal hunters and trappers. Tho various animal agencies distri buting throughout Europe, denl only In those animals that aro common to the zoos of every city of any size. Rare creatures that do not breed in captivity. aro not found there. Hero lies the reason that other shows, with neither hunters or trappers in their employ, have nothing year af ter year to show their patrons bu tho lion, tiger, a sprinkling deer and bear a few elephants and various other unimportant types which from long being seen aro no moro interesting than a goat or an oxen. In tho Barnum & Bnllcy Mena gerie aro 110 cages, dens, tanks and pens, in which aro found 1200 ani mals. An lnstanco in their great cn-i terprlso is found In the giraffe family j Here aro five perfect specimens. Ono is twenty-two feet in height. Another is only three feet tall, for It Is the baby of the family, and incidentally tho only baby garlffo that was ovor seen In America. It is worth Its weight in gold. Various other displays are a five ton hippopotamus, a doublo horned rhlnocerous, bears from tho Artie reigons and from a dozen other cli mates, wild boar from Germany, kan garoos from Australia, horned horses from Africa, forty elephants, thirty camels, herds of llamas and yaks, ze bus, curious cattle, water buffalo, nylghaus, ant-eaters ostriches, emuo chimpanzees, orangoutangs, caribous, seallons, seals, pecarles, wart hogs, and all varieties of the cat and deer tribe. There are surprises in this mena gerie even to tho naturalists for there are speciments found else where only ii tho tropical thickets far from the haunts of man. Much interesting knowledge might bo pick ed up here. Tho attendants are UBed to being questioned and they aro all practical animal men. For instance ono may learn that a giraffe has no vocal organs and can utter no sound. It can go longer than a camel without water or food. Tho elephant does not smell with his trunk. Far back In the roof of his mouth are two holes. Theso are its smelling organs. An elephant has to put its food into its mouth to teat it. Thoro are two feathers on every quill In tho emu's back. The bippopotlmus exu des blood from Its pours when it is angry. Tho male ostrich sits on the eggs In tho day tlmo. When tho circus comes to Medford for one preformance only, at 10 a. m. on Monday, August 29, a full hour will be dovoted to the menager ie after tho doers aro opened.
