E. N. 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.

Make Every Dollar Worth
More Than a Dollar!
An educated ad reader will never bo poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and where to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever bo unthrifty, or in any souse careless
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
ono proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
The intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning tho monoy that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of the family revenue!
