Memoirs of Napoleon In Three Volumes The personal reminiscences of Baron de Mtfneval, for thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte, bring out, as no history can, many enlightening and interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of leaders. De Meneval’s descriptions have the piquancy and interest possible only because he was an actual eye witness of the scenes and incidents of which he writes. ' 1 heir reliability and historical interest can be judged by the fact that the very conservative French Academy publicly recommends them.

There is a great future awaiting the farmer who takes a little time and ex pense to add beef cattle to his farm. The demand for good beef can never be over-supplied and the price is up to stay: It is a waste of time and money to try to produce beef from scrub cattle or a cattle that is not intended for beef. The scrub will eat more good hay and grain than the well bred beef type, and will not begin to make the gains and returns that the well bred one will. In other words the scrub is bowed up in the back and sharp at both ends will eat his head off. He may increase in legs, girth, etc, without filling out the ends. By good luck he may make half or two-thirds the growth of the well bred one, by throwing in legs, belly and all the sharp bony parts. Many farmers perhaps would like to discard the scrub and raise better stock but do not feel able to buy a herd of pure-bred cattle: but when some individual in your section has gone to the expense and trouble to obtain the very best of pure-breds that can be had in the world, you should grasp the opportunity to grade up your cattle. Any ordinary scrub cow bred to a pure-bred Polled Aber deen Angus bull will produce off-spring that will surprise you and pay for the time and expense many times. Any man who is informed on the subject of cat * * tie breeding will tell you that strong, pure healty, vigorous bulls biing strong, healthy, vigorous calves: while poor scrubby hulls bring calves corresponding to themselves. Some farmers claim that if a nail can serve a cow and produce a calf , no matter what his breeding, form size etc., is, he is just as good as a registered, well- developed, fine individual bull. This is certainly a good mis -0 take, to say the least of it-and the man who does it looses every time. You should secure the services of the very best bull that you can find=He will cost more-but his services are worth many times more. In looking for the very best breed that could be found, I located it in the Polled Aberdeen Angus-They had their origin in the Highlands of Scotland, and owe much to their early en viroment. The bleak Highlands are not noted for fertility. The Angus had to put on a maximum amount of flesh on a minimum amount of natural pasture Therefore, they are very hardy and great rustlers. They produce more fine grained beef to the live weight than any other breed.-and sell at a high priceg They are easy to fatten at any age, and develop into the smoothest of all beef breeds. It will pay any man to bring his cows ten or fifteen miles t© breed them to an animal of this brreed, Visitors are always welcome. J'O. RUTHERFORD, HAMPTON, GA.
