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.

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* recently built by Hon. P. E. Wil kin.
