BEEF CATTLE BOUGHT
and iNOGULATED
BY the South Carolina Experiment
Station for Those Who Want
Them. Will Act as
Agents.

For more than 20 years beef cattle
have steady increase in price, and are
now topping the Chicago market at,
$3.50 per 100 pounds live weight. This
has given great impetus to beef breed
ing in al parts of the country, and in
States like South Carolina, whore
land is cheap and grass grows IN abun-
dance, it promises handsome returns.
But beef cattle have been almost en-
tirely neglected here and few thor
oughbred cattle of the heavy breeds
are to be found. Those who desire to
grade up their herds are compelled to
90 outside Of the State for breeding.
stock. In order to assist those who
wish better cattle the experiment sta
tion now offers free the services OF the
veterinarian in buying, shipping and
acclimating animals.
I am authorized to act as agent for
any citizen of the State in buying any
kind of cattle that may be had at the
sales visited. I am now planning to
attend the big auction sales OF short
horns, Polled Durbams, and Herefords
at Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 14th, 18th,

of registered stock. I shall be glad
to buy for any parties who may en-
trust me with orders accompanied
with sufficient money to pay for the
animals desired.

It is not probable that any desirable
animals can be had for less than s75

will BIS S5 to IS. The cattle will be
bought as cheaply as possible and any
of the money not used will be refunded
to the person sending it.
The station simply acts as agent in
making such purchases and assumes
no responsibility other than to give
the best of care and attention to the
animals until shipped to their owners.
For several yesrs nearly ala northern
cattle shipped to Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama have been

time for the sale is near ait hand.
