South Georgia
Beef Industry.
lhe Firm «f Baggs & Kinar Mikes Shewing
With Cattle fed Here
Shipped Io Atlants
Significant of tne revival, on «
large scale, c f the beef industry in
south Georgia, was ic receipt of*
ear of fine fed steers at tbs uaek
tng bouse of the White Lesion
Company, last week fr |, gain
bridge, Ga. Thi cat, r th Was
accompanied by Dr. L. jßagge,
•t Bainbridge, topjK
dSKrket for trie week.
ware fed by Baggs and Minor, of-
Decatur county, and Dr. Baggs
declares, are only forerunners of
what that section will accomplish
in the near future.
The carload consisted of twenty-'
eight head of grade abort horned
ateera which averaged belter than
1,050 pounds each when loaded,
and for the twenty-eight steers Dr
Baggs was hnnd-’d a check by the
White Provision Company for |l,
574.48, after deducting freight and
other expenses from the time of
loading at Bainbridge. ;
Dr. Baggs says he and hie pert-:
ner are now stocking their farm
with high grade beef ca.tle of the
short horn breed, and are doing
away with all of their scrubs wbieh
tney h*ve heretofore raised in
large numbers, and will from this
tire nn raise nothing but the fleet
of eattle, having already purahas
a! several head of young animals
as a foundation for their herd.
IKTEBEST IS WIDESPREAD.
He gave the names of a dozen er
more prominent business men, far
mers and stock raisers who are
doing the same thing, and he pre
dicta that it will only boa com
paratively short time until South
Georgia will be producing a grade
of eattle that will bring Georgia to
lhe front ranks as a beef pioducing
stale.
Dr. Baggs very forcefully bnnge
out the point that the introduction
of good cattle will not only make
eattle raising profitable from a
beef producing stand point, but the
greatest gain comes to the farmer
in feeding his cotton seed meal
and hulls to cattle, thereby, find
in* a better market for his produe
tion of cotton by-products than in
the present method of selling to
speculators, with the additional
prefit through an abundance of
natural fertilizer tor their farms
greatly enhancing the productive
powers of their lands.

Fly Screens Are
Family’s Quaran
tine Against
Disease.
Tour home may possess every
luxuny and comfort foot imagina
tion bn* conceived to add to the
pleasure yf living, but if it ia with
out screens it ia nat only incom
plete but lacking in the moetoesen
liai element of a living alp to.
You mny be without a eheir ta
sit upon without a table from which
to eat yoar food, but hays your
eoreena.
Iu terms thua etieng and it would
make them even stronger does the
State board of health seek to at rose
the importance of screens a* the
most effective meeus es conserv
ing the individual hence the public
health.
The ecieen is tn* family quaran
tine against many diseases and it
is the only safe and pure prevea
lion.
.Elisa,and mosquitoas are the
benrera of many dangerous and
often fatal diseases, there is tout
one safeguard against thsir possi
ble infection that is keep them
out.
A single housefly may be the
bearer of seme 6,C00,000 disease
germs a few of which under favora
ble circumstances msy produce ty
phoid fever, dysentery, tuberculo
sis or some other malady just as
bad.
Equally dangerous with ths house
flv ander proper conditions is the
mosquito making it just as impor
tant that he be excluded from in
habited premises,
Moeguitoes are the absolutely
demonstrated agencies of malaria
yellow fever and like diseases, in
tact it has been proven mat
hematical extetnass that they are
the only means k>y which they are
communicated.
The discovery that filarias!* pro
ducing often elephantie* ani other
deformities was communioatrd
only through the mosquito prece
ded discovety of the came princi
pal with regard to malaria and
yellow fever.
It is malaria of course that the
people of Georgia have mq»t so
guard against.
Malaria is oommucieated by the
bite of one mosquito, the Anophel
es it is called and ia no other
wav.
This bee been demonstrated by
medical science beyoad aU shadow
of doubt.
But mosquitoes bite ms when 1
am out of doors is the day time
so what Level to gain by sereen
ing my house against them, come
will nsk.
It ie well of the Anop
hel» 8 mosquito’ the transmitter of
malaria, be is jonflaed to hours of
darkness.
He rests during the day and gets
in his work at night.
Screening the hons<>, then keeps
out the malarial mosquito and there
is nothing to be feared from his
activities by day.
This is screening season.
It is time to prepair fur the apriag
and summer cnupaign against
those diseases which flourish undec
rising temperatures.
The ketate board of health advices
and urges the use of a mesh fine
enough to keep out mosquitoes
preferably eighteen wires to the
inch.
The cost is small compared with
the dangerous and often fatal
diseases.
Screen the manure pile, in it 9i .
per cent of the flies are born ar
hatched thence they make their
way germ laden to the kitchen tai
dining room.
Keep the stable, the chicks*
yard and prig pens clean.
Destroy the breeding places es '
flies and then screen tbenp.out of
the house
Examinations should be made
of the .’premises to see thut there
are no pcolg of stagnant water, the
rain water that fills an old tin cas
ie sufficient enough to breed Mos
quitoes'
Screen the rain barrell nr pour a
little kerosene upon it once a
week.
Many cities have reconized th*
necessity in requiring the screen
ing of all shops and stores where
'meat* and other food product are
kept.
Thia is done as a precaution
against flies.
Screening the home serves th*
double purpose of excluding the fly
and mosquito.
Screen your home now is the
boards earnest advice, and screen it
efficient.
A Pretty Store.
Mr E. J. Hunter has moved into
one of the handsome new store*
