HEREFORDS,
HEREFORDS.
Stop and think that you haye an opportunity to buy the
greatestand best cattle on earth right at your door. :
Hereford cattle are regarded by ail cattle men as the ideal
beef cattle of the world, atter years of experience with otker
breeds for these and other reasons:
Ist. There is less disease among the Herefords than any
other cattle living. ' iy
2nd. They can endure more hardships, outdoor exposure
with less danger of death and sickness than other cattle.
3rd. The Herefords are the greatest rustlers on
earth, They don’t wait fcr you to bring feed to them. They
will eat grasses that other cattle will almost starve befor2 they
wil] eat.
ath. Hereford cattle will stay fat where other cattle will
only be in living order with the same treatment.
sth. They are the most prolific cattle known to ranchmen.
As a rule cattle that are not kept up and ted don’t breed regu
lar, that is not the case with Herefords.
6th. They command a higher price on the market than any
other cattle, ‘
7th. You can save from 20 to 30 days in the feed pen; they
will fatten faster than any other cattle with the same amount
of feed.
Bth. You can fatten th2m at any age.
oth. While they are not claimed to be milk and butter cat
tle yet you will find a great per cent among them that are as
good for milk as any cattle living.
toth. !y crossing the Heretords:on your common scrubs
and Jersey cattle:you will then have as near as it is po§s;b|e
to get an ideal combination cow; beef, milk and butter. They
2—‘~lsol make excellent work. oxen. owing co the fact that they are
S 0 thrifty .
Remember that Hereford bulls have sold recently as high
as $7500. That alone should convince any reasonable man
that the Herefords must be the greatest cattle living. Don't
putitoff. By rassing Herefords you over double the value of
your bull calves,and youn heifers toan inestimable value.
. Remember, an acclimated animal is worth two of Tennessee,
I\entucky or northera cattle for the southern climate; as.cattle
brought here from the north will go through the climatic fev
€r and 50 per cent of them will die. Make up your mind and
B¢t a Hereford bulljand do away with the scrubsand Jer-
S¢ys. Don’t put it off any longer; there is too muchat stake.
These cattle wili remain here but a short time.

DR. P. PHILLIPS.
At Hickey’s Stables, Dawson, Ga.
ried to the same point 114 porkers,
averaging in weight about the same as
Mr. Dillon’s, the aggregate weight be
ing about 37,800 pounds. This ehip
ment brought Mr. Carver $1,300, a
trifle less than 6 cents per pound.
Both shipments were of live hogs.
It is considered more profitable to dis
pose of them in this manper than oth
erwise; in fact, these gentlemen ex
press the opinion that shipping them
in this way is the only logical method
of conducting the business.
The B. & B. President and Bond
holders Pass Through Daw
son Enroute to Alabama.
President Machen and General Man
ager McDuffie of the Brunswick and
Birmingham railroad passed through
Dawson Friday en route to Alabama.
They were accompanied by a number
of the road’s bondholders.
The party is in Alabama going over
the prospective extension to Birming
ham and thence across the continent by
alliances with the St. Louis and Kan
sas City people. The party visited
Eufaula, Birmingham and Montgom
ery.
One. hy one developments of the
Brunswick and Birmingham are begin
‘nicg to come to light. It is now
’known that a corps of engineers of
'the St. Louis and Kansas City pros
pective connections have been down
here for some time, making surveys
and reports on trackage and deep wa
ter facilities. It is also known that
their reports are fayorable.
It is evident to those who are keep
ing track of the new line that matters
are progressing more favorably now
than they ever have. -
As noted previously in THE NEWS,
the B. & B. is liable to come through
Dawson on its route to Alabama.
While this is not known to be definite
ly true, it does not appear unlikely.
It would prove mutually profitable to
Dawson and the B. & B.,and the peo
ple of this section hope that the direc
tors of the road may see it to their in
terest to bring it through here.
Must Halter Mules.
The city council has passed an or
dinance that in the future when droves
of mules are brought from the depots
in the day time they must b> halter
ed. This is a wise step, and may pre
vent accidents which were liable to
oceur.

This is exactly what PIONEER GUANO COMPANY of Albany claim to be doing; and the analysis of
their Blood and Bone Guano for 1901 by the State]Agricultural Department is complete proof of the
correctness of their claim. The sample from which this analysis was made being takem without

The guarantee put on the bags by the company was:—
