PURCHASE CAR CATTLE
Medford Dairy Interests get big
Boost.
C. N. Palmer received word
the first of the week that J. A.
Aikins, who left last week to
visit tlie dairy regions of Texas
with a view of purchasing dairy
cattle, had purchased 35 head of
well bred Jersey heifers ranging
from 9 to 24 months old and
now had the animals in the Ft.
Worth stock yards where they
will be held for perhaps a week
taking the tuberculosis test,
whieli the law makes necessary
in moving dairy stuff interstate.
While there they will also be
dipped, another precaution made
necessary before the cattle can
be brought across the quaran-
tine line. Mr. Aikins has hand-
led cattle all his life and pro-
nounces the herd on the dairy
farm from which these were se-
lected the best he had ever seen.
No cow is kept that produces
less than one and a half pounds
op. butter per day and many do
better than two pounds. While
some of these cattle will be kept
for milking purposes by Messrs
-nkins and Palmer, the bulk will
be for sale and we are assured
the price will be lower than has
been in vogue for this class of
s>tock. The distribution of this
number of good Jerseys among
the farmers should aid materially
in building up the dairy interests.
A sale date will be announced
later by the owners, but will not
be earlier than in two weeks. In
the meantime those desiring to
make private purchases will be
shown the herd and given prices.

created is unequalled and unapproached.
We scorn Superlative boasting yet we are convinced that
we have secured the best film sensation of the season, of
many seasons, and we are convinced not by our own incla-
nation to be, but by the volume of encouraging endorse-
ments which we have received from the most important
cities, clergymen, ministers, show goers and exhibitors.

history of the film. The cities agree with us.

Editor Patriot:
While it might be a personal
pleasure to reply to the two
columns of abuse appearing in
the Patriot last week attacking
me for the reason that my inter-
ests in Medford and experience
as editor and publisher long
since convinced me that publicity
of internal dissensions do not
commend the town to those seek-
ing homes or investments, there-
in, I decline to make any reply
whatever, and approve your edi-
torial of last week refusing to
continue them.
Respectfully.
T. J. PALMER.

Experience Has Proven It.-
The experience of silo users has
proven the value of this improvement
*s a farm necessity. Silo users have
nothing but words of praise for the
idea. There is a reason, and sooner
or later you are going to have to join
the ranks of the progressives who are
taking advantage of this greatest of
boons to the farmers of the southwest.
Just common sense and nothing more,
and there is nothing simpler nor bet-
ter than a "COMMON SENSE" SILO.
