in every county in West Tennessee cattle |
buyers from Othei States are riding and |
buying up the surplus grown COWS and year
ling from farmers at prices far below their |
real worth and shipping them out of the |
State. They take advantages of the winter |
season when stock il thin in order, and many |
farmers are needing money, and get them
cheap. In many instances cattle are bought |
in West Tennessee and North Mississippi |
and shipped to Southwestern Missouri. and |
after the expense of gathering them here
and shipping them has been paid, with the |
cost of feeding them one or two seasons in
that country, there is great profit in the
business to the buyer. There is no better
country for stock than West Tennessee and /
few counties afford better range than Harde- /
man and if these men find it profitable to
buy this stock and ship it hundreds of miles
on railroads TO states that afford no greater
natural advantages than this, the profits
would be much greater to the farmer here
60 keep THE young stock to maturity and
put their grown stock in order and get the
profit direct from butchers. No farmer in
Hardeman ought to sell yearling to one
of these drOvers for less than il is actually
worth. The farmer should remember that
he can By keeping his cattle year longer
get the profit for which the drover is work
ing with the expense of bnving, shipping,
ETC., added. A hint to the wise is sufficient
There il rothing that worries or is 40 dam
gerous as bad cough, it will keep one awake
all night and finally results in some bad
lung disease. Then don't wait for it TO |
