A GREATINDUSTRYFOR CO WETA
The South will not be what it should
be until the majority of her farmers be
come breeders and feeders of livestock.
This does not necessarily mean that
they should keep a large number of
animals, nor does it mean that all
our farmers should go into live stock
raising as a business, but it does mesn
that no country can succeed to the full
est extent until the farms are well sup
plied with live stock.
It goes without saying that well-bred
animals are the profitable kind, whether
it be cows, hogs, or other stock; and,
generally, money expended for founda
tion stock is the best money the far
mer can spend. It often provides the
means with which to buy a farm, or
lifting a mortgage on one already
bought.
In the past many inferior animals
have been sent Into the South by
Northern breeders, which for a time
bad a tendency to discourage our far
mers. The fact that ttyta section has
been used as a dumping-ground for
culls in many instances, together with
very high freight rates in shipping sin
gle animals from the North, has pre
vented live stock farming—especially
cattle-rsiBing — from developing os
rapidly as conditions would apparently
warrant; but at last the South is com
ing into her own.
Mr. R. F. Shedden, of Atlanta, by
persistent advertising has put Raymond,
Coweta county, Ga., “on the map.”
This thriving town has rapidly grown
into a prosperous manufacturing cen
ter. With the same firm faith and en
thusiasm for live stock, he is likewise
putting it on the live stock map—and
especially as the very center of the
shorthorn cattle industry of the cutton
belt. ,
Shorthorns were selected on account
of their adaptability to Southern con
ditions, and because of the absolute
necessity for a dual purpose breed in the
South. In this class stands the short
horn alone and unoqualed. The short
horn cow is the type that will return
the double profit-producing elements of
milk and beef, and when her usefulness
is ended she may be easily fattened and
made to yield a fair return on the block.
If cattlo-raising is to be highly profita
ble our efforts must bo with cattle of
this type, which exist, and has existed
for a hundred and fifty years, In the
shorthorn breed.
The South iB being developed into
more small farms and farm-owners,
who must (and will) keep live stock. It
is not profitable to keop strictly beef
animals that give only enough milk for
the calf, nor is it wlso under general
'conditions to keep cows solely for the
milk. A combination animal is required
‘to fulfill the needs of our section. No
<cow meets that requirement so accep
tably as the shorthorn.
Shedden Farms will hereafter be
headquarters for fine shorthorns. In
developing this business on a big scale
no expense will be spared in breeding
and collecting animals that will meet
the requirements bb Bet forth above.
In this work Mr. Shedden has associ
ated with him men who understand the
needB of the South, and aro capable of
assembling and distributing cattle of
the right kind and at tho least possible
expense to the purchaser.
Many cattle will be bred at Shedden
Farms, and those brought in will be
shipped in car lots, thus placing them
in the vory heart of the South at tho
lowest possible cost. They will be
brought right to the door of the
farmer, where he can select for him
self, with a big saving in freight rates.
Another great advantage is the fact
that the American Shorthorn Breeders’
Association is backing up every animal
offered for Bale, which assures the far
mers of the South that they will get
good-value for their money, whether
they visit the farm or not.
Mr. T. G. Chastain, one of the best-
known cattlemen in the South, and an
expert judge of shorthorns, has lately
been appointed Southern representa
tive of this association, and will per
sonally inspect and approve every ani
mal sent out from Shedden Farms.
Such an opportunity has never been
offered the Southern farmer before,
and money invested in such cattle is
worth more to many farmers than
bank account.
The cattle secured for Shedden Farms
will be bought for cash at the lowest
figures, and those raised will be grown
as economically as can be done any
where in the world. They will be kept
in large numbers and of all ages, and
handled in such a way that tine animals
can be sold as low as $125 each. These
animals are such as frequently sell in
the North at from $200 to $250 each
with long-distance freight rates added.
The farms are under the direct man
agement of Mr. C. W. Fowler, formerly
of Marietta, Ga., who is a natural born
stockman, with a lifetime experience
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott’s Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tpnic, free
fromalcoholoranyharmfuldrugs. Tryit.

both in the South and across the coun
try in the corn belt. He has been at it
since he was 10 years old, and last year
bred and sold more prize-winning hogs
at Meridian, Miss., Birmingham, Ala.,
Macon and Augusta, Ga., than any
other five breeders combined. He is no
less a lover of the blocky shorthorn,
which he says (b “king of the cattle
world and the salvation of the South,
so far as cattle are concerned.” All
orders and communications will receive
his personal attention.
We are proud of Shedden Farms. We
are glad they are located in Coweta
county, and hope every farmer in the
South who can will visit the farms and
see for himself the vast advantage of
owning cows such as are bred there.
If President Wilson doesn't get rid of
Postmaster-General Burleson and John
Skelton Williams, Comptroller of the
Currency, before the campaign opens
he will have a lot of explaining to do
before the people. These eminent
worthies appear to labor under the de
lusion that they are the mainstay of the
Administration, and are making aBorry
mess of it.
