the beautiful Maltese rabbit with hair
six inches long, and specimen of the
long cared rabbit, the ears of which
are fully half the length of the entire
body. And speaking of rabbits 1t must
not be considered for moment that
Mr.. White breeds them for fun. He en-
joys it the same as breeder of fine
cattle enjoys the work in that line, but
he is in the business for money. One
doe celebrated her stay at the fair by
giving birth to eleven of her race, one
of whom died later. Since January
first she has become the mother Of an
even fifty children and as the owner
finds ready market for them at one
dollar each it can be seen that she has
in little more than half a year yielded
an income of fifty dollars. A den of
foxes and one of coyotes are also eX-
hibited by him, and he is probably the
only man in the state who can make a
profit out of such animals. However
he has orders for them all in the south
where they are used in the chase.
Another good exhibitor of poultry Is
William Higgins who lives over in
Polk county. He has some splendid
coops of geese, chickens and turkeys,
and while not so extensive as that Of
Mr.. White, the display shows number
of birds with excellent points.

WEDNESDAY At THE
GREAT EXPOSITION

There must be something in the
claim recently made that the soil and
climate of North Dakota were conduc-
i've to the development of the very best
In live stock, no matter what species
or what class. To wander through the
cattle barns at the fair and see the
magnificent specimens of beef cattle
which are on exhibition, an observer
would be led to believe, did he not
know otherwise, that the grass and
food which grows on the prairies of
the state were merely converted into
fat and flesh, and that this process is
the only thing possible in the way Vt
development in stock growing. But
II the observer will pass over to the
barns where the dairy breeds are on
exhibition he will soon see that they
are as completely developed in char
acteristics as are the beef and dual
purpose cattle.
The Jerseys.
The largest herd of Jerseys is that
of George c. Dixon of this city who has
26 animals entered. The herd is COM
posed of some magnificent bulls whose
individuality is exceptionally pro-
nounced, number of cows, and sever
al calves. The milk producing quail
ties of the herd is decidedly pro-
nounced. Large udders, large blood
vessels, good lung capacity and the
other characteristics which make this
breed the great milk producers of the
country.
The herd exhibited by ]. H. Bossard
of this city, while not so large, being
composed of eight individuals, is fully
equal to any herd to be found in the
northwest. 1t shows the splendid de-
velopment of the breed to perfection.
Mrs. C. S. Moen is the owner of the
other herd which consists of seven an
imals, everyone of which is we'll devel-
oped.
Judges would of course discriminate
in the herds and of the animals espec-
tally selected for competition show
some differences. But to group the en-
tire story of the Jerseys on exhibition
into as few words as possible would
be to say that they are animals which
would be we'll in the front in a con-
test involving more competition than
our own and neighboring states. They
would not of course hold any worlds
records for these are often made by
the especial care bestowed upon the
animals. But it is decidedly doubtful
if there are many herds which, for or
binary use and service. especially on
the average dairy farm, can be found.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-08-02

They are money makers. They are ex-
actly the animals man wants who de-
sires to get good and not spectacular
results.
The poultry building is sort of cur
iosity as we'll as holding one of the
most valuable exhibitions of the entire
fair. The poultry includes every stan
dard variety which strikes the fancier
and some OF the birds on exhibition are
certainly prize winners. The Enville
Stock Farm of which L. H. White is
the owner, is by far the largest eXhib-
itor. Mr.. White has all the ordinary
classes Of poultry in his coops and
every one is we'll developed and we'll
made. In addition he has a veritable
menagerie of fancy and rare birds and
pets. Notably among the many rare
species are the Muscova duck, the wild
duck of South America, large, we'll
plumaged and fine table bird 1t flies
in fiocks like pigeons and alights ON
the tops of buildings or in trees. 1t
roosts like chicken either in a tree
or on roost above the ground, a habit
probably developed in its efforts during
generations to get out of the reach of
its enemies. Another popularity OF
the bird is that it can climb tree like
a squirrel, and one of the amusements
of Mr.. White at feeding time is to have
them climb up his clothing to reach
the food held in his outstretched hands.
The White Crossed duck is beautiful
though not so valuable a bird as the
former, and the ones on exhibition
have attracted considerable attention.
Two English pheasants are curiosity
to many people and while Mr.. White
has many of them on his farm, they
are so rare that they would attract at
tention in Ringing Brothers circus.
A pair of frazzled chickens, having the
feathers pointing toward the head is
another curiosity, though not so rare.
One of the beautiful displays is coop
of fan tail pigeons possessing ten COL
ors. The silver laced and buff Polish
chickens form an exhibit which would
attract the attention of fanciers at n
national poultry show. Then he has
two varieties of Chinese geese-the
white and the brown-both large and
the white one to some extent resemb-
ling swans, with heavy plumage of fine
texture. They are good layers and the
flesh is remarkably fine for the table,
The variety Of rabbits is sufficient to
start menagerie, and Mr.. White joe
ularly informed the Evening Times
that he had small one at his farm. He
has the black rabbit the Belgium hare,

4 veterinary was summoned and a
crowd gathered on the track where the
injured animal was being cared for.
An investigation developed that she
had broke down tendon in front and
will probably go lame for life. though
no bones were broken. The mare had
similar experience in Wisconsin in
a race last season but mended and was
considered in good condition for the
event. She is one of the most popular
animals owned by Mr.. Jacobson and
he will learn of the accident with
much regret. The mare was taken to
the barn and her injured leg put in a
plaster paris cast. She is we'll bred
and is still valuable as brood mare,

with the euphonious title had plenty
left and took the first two heats, with
the mare second. Rain began falling
before the third heat and by the time
the horses came out for it the track
was slippery and bad, not at all to the
PAGERS liking.
In this heat. Oveta, steady going
mare owned by c. P. Dye, of Hillsboro
had the advantage of her company.
She is trotter and with plenty Of ac-
ton she simply run rings around the
field. sweeping into the stretch from
we'll back and making Geography look
like the north pole, tied down at that.
This mare is looked upon by the wise
ones as good thing. She Is always
coming and has lots left as was dem
onstrated In her race yesterday.

Honest Abe, gray gelding driven
in the second race, is we'll named. He
was game to the last and had enough
working out, taken altogether with the
numerous false starts, to make any
horse quit.
The performance of Oveta in the Sec
ond race demonstrated that a PAGER
don't like heavy track, and that a
trotter has the advantage under these
circumstances. 1t also demonstrates
that the mare will bear watching in
her class.

The jockeys in yesterdays race wore
the stable colors. 1t looked like a
scene at Bennings or Sheepshead in
stead of North Dakota.
w. S. Lycan, Familiarity known as
Bill" and one of the best all round
good fellows who ever looked over a
shot gun with bead on covey of
chickens or drew line over race
horse, was much in evidence at the
races yesterday. Bill" has his horse
Dagmar Muscovite in his stables at
CrOokston this season and his stallion
Gordon ", is being stood there. Both
are gobd animals and have been in the
circuit in seasons past. Bill" Is also
interested in the horse Mixer which
starts today. Mixer is likely colt
but little erratic and not always to
be relied upon. though with good
reserve Of speed.
Among the familiar faces at the
track yesterday was that of Secretary
Champine of Minot, one of the North
ern circuit officials. He took a deep
interest in the events and believes the
state record would have been smashed
had the weather man held off his spell
of dumps.
Some of the stable boys changed
money on Geography, 1t is said. Many
of them were down on Ermas Choice
and her accident was a bitter disap-
pOnitment to them.
There was too much delay in get
ting the horses away to suit the crowd.
Doc Eaton, however, is hard to suit
and plays fair. He took his time, and
there was little fault to find.

Ex-Mayor Hitchcock of Crookston

ley likes good horse and has owned
several himself.
The familiar face of E. ]. Sullivan,
ex-sheriff of Polk county and one who
loves good horse race, was witness
at the races yesterday.
H. Donaldson, formerly of this city,

Yesterdays Races.

Every indication pointed to good
weather for the races yesterday after
noon and by p. NJ. the grand stand
was we'll filled with an eager crowd.
The events were started in good time,
the first being the deciding heat of the
2:4O pace, 2:25 trot of yesterday held
over because of the opinion of the
judges that the horse Delta Claire was
not being driven out.
This was horse race from the start
and true to the convictions of the crit
les, Delta Claire won the heat and the
race in driving finish, with Little Boy
second and lockwood third. The mon
ey was divided in the order named.
The time for this heat was 1928 Ia.
The 2:1O Pace, 300 Trot.
This was the best race of the day,
and considering the track, the time
was fast, the best made bling 2:16 IA.
Three horses of the six answered the
call, Red King, owned by J. Carson,
of Winnipeg, Milo. owned by Lille
Bros. MaXbass, N. D., and Baby Kidd,
the property of r. L. Parker of Decor
ah, Iowa. Mixer, the Crfookston horse
was to have been in this race but was
held for today. Joe Interest, an
other entry, was drawn.
Milo drew the pole and after several
false starts the three were sent away,
the MaXbass entry being close pushed
by Red King throughout the route but
never in danger and the two took the
heat in neck and neck brush for the
wire.
