AST IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Through the courtesy of D. A. Beattie,
President of the Union Stock Yard, Dairy
and Manufacturing Company, we were en
abled, a few days ago, to visit the works of
this company, located at the end of Pryor
street, on the Macon branch of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad.
This company was recently organized by
electing D. A. Beattie President, L. J. Hill,
Vice-President; J. G. Zacbry, Secretary; L.
B. Nelson,.Treasurer; J. L. McGaughey, Su
perintendent, and M. M. Smith, of New
York, B. H. Hill, Jr., Drewry Tye, Howard
Van Epps and II. C. Sawtell, Directors.
The company own nineacres, five of which
fronts the railroad and cost them $1,000 per
acre.. The shed for the reception of stock is
Jersey Cattle.
Some information has been given in these
columns about Jersey cattle. It would not
be wise for every one to attempt to raise thor
oughbred animals and have them all regis
tered. There is too much expense attached
to the business If our own cattle were brej
year after year by intelligent farmers they
could be developed into excellent milker,
and butter makers as the breeder might
choose. The Jersey lias been bred with a
view to the greatest quantity of good, yellow
butter from the least quantity of milk. Now,'
instead of improving our own cattle, the
shorter and surer plan, if we desire an in.
crease of butter, is to take our common cat
tle and cross with thoroughbred Jerseys-
That will give us hardy cattle that will
yield, with generous treatment, three to
four gallons of milk a day. This amount of
milk, even from a half Jersey, would make
about a pound and a half of butter. This
amount of milk and butter requires good
treatment and good feed. A few persons in
this country are introducing thoroughbred
Jerseys, amongst whom may be mentioned
L. A. Mills, Thos. Richardson, T. J. Moore-
The Erwine, Dr. Fleming and Col. Walker.
Mr. Mills has gone North, now, for the pur
pose of buying several cows and heifers. He
has studied the Jersey until he is a good
mats from choice strains without going be
yond the Atlantic, and very often without
going out of bis own State or neighborhood.
In the matter of price, too, the new begin
ner fails to meet with the discouragement
which would have faced him had he lived a
generation ago. While there are many in
dividual animals in this country which are
held at strong fancy prices, it is indisputable
that intrinsically meritorious and faultless
ly-bred stock can be procured at a reason
able figure. It does not require a purse of
wonderful length to get a fair start in this
fascinating business. A small* beginning
with a few choice animals, managed judi
ciously and bred from conscientiously, give
the beginner all the capital which is abso
lutely essential. We would not detract from
the importance of importing stock; indeed,
it is necessary that this fresh infusion of
blood should be kept up. But the day is past
when the man who docs not wish to Import
is so handicapped by that fact as to mate
rially affect his business in ordinary lines of
breeding.”

though a very old remedy, itseems there is
yet a good many persons that do not know
the value of pennyroyal. It will clear all
kinds of stock of all kinds of vermin, horse

with a little manipulation one hundred car

100 feet and for hog-killing 60x80 feet. A
two-story building, 60x100, is arranged for a
refrigerator, costing them $15,000, to enable
them to kill and cure at any stage of the

The Engine room 30x60 will contain an

stories high. The bosementof the buildings
are of granite. About 700,000 feet of lum

will have a platform running the entire front
on the Railroad, 500 feet. - The main of the
Atlanta water works runs close by the yard
and supplies it with water for cleansing daily.
A sewer costing some $2,000 will carry off
the waste water from the premises.
The company propose to utilize every
thing, and will mauutacture Oleomargeriue,

The hides will be dried and sold. It is
thought that all the butchering of the city
will be done at these yards. Employment
will be given to a large number of men, and
millions added to the commerce of Atlanta.

tile headquarter for Jerseys in this State,
for certain persons have paid special atten
tion to them in that section. J. C. Stribling,
whose letters have interested the readers of
the Spartan, is much interested in this busi
ness. In a late letter lie says :
“ I am to leave in a few days to attend some
of the largest Jersey sales of this season at
the North, and will bring back a car load of
the highest breed for our different firms. In
the lot already purchased is a bull “ Cou
pon Alphea Rex, ” for Ashtabula. This is,
perhaps, one of the highest bred calves now
in America, and is the first thousand dollar
calf that nos been shipped South. This lot
of Jerseys will comprise representatives of
nearly all the most noted butter families now
to be found in this breed. This shipment
will be a great acquisition to the stock of our
State. "—Carolina Spartan,
“Young breeders of finestockhaveamuch
better chance to establish themselves in these
days,” says the Pittsburgh Stockman, “than
in the earlier history of the business in this
country. The time was when good founda
tion stock for herds of cattle could not be
procured without great difficulty, often not
without importation, and never without
great expense. But it is now quite differ
ent The man who does not wish to import
can establish himself with finely-bred ani-
poultry, etc. No farmer can reasonably do
without it. To one ounce of oil of penny
royal add four ounces of any other mild oil.
Lard oil is good ; give each plowman a vial
of this and a feather to touch the horse
about the head, ears, flanks and legs with
just a little every two or threo hours, and I
will guarantee all insects will leave at once.
In Germany, during the slippery season,
temporary calks are used for horse shoes.
Two sharp-pointed studs an inch long are
screwed into holes left in the shoes, and when
the horse enters the stable they are taken
out and a button screwed into their place,
thereby preventing all damage to the horse
and keeping the screw holes from filling.
Mr. Willis Moore, who resides between
Walhalla and West Union S. C. has one
sheep from which he has clipped from seven
to nine pounds of washed wool at a shear
ing for the post three or four years.
Butler Dyer of Greenville 8. C. has a cow
2 years old that gives every month 70 pounds
more butter than her own weight.
A Mississippi ram yielded 14 pounds of
wool at one clip, and after being sheared
weighed 200 pounds.
A Fort Davis, Texas man bought 1000
head of cows and calves at $30 per cow and
calf.
