oors keowee Courier: For moro than 2C
years beef cattle have steadily Increased
in price, and are now topping the Chi.
cago market at 1886 per 100 pounds live
weight. This has given great impetus TO
beef breeding in all parts of the country,
and In States like South Carolina, where
land is cheap and grass grows in abund-
ance, 1T promises handsome returns. II y
But beef cattle have been almost en-
tirely neglected here and few thorough
bred cattle of tile heavy breeds ara 'Ito
be found. Those who desire to grade
up their herds are compelled to go out
side of the State for breeding stock. In
order to assist those who wish better
cattle the experiment station now offers
free the services of the veterinarian in
buying, shipping and acclimating ami
mails.
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. am now planning to
1 attend the big auction sales of Short
horns, Polled Durhams, and Herefords
at Indianapolis, Ind, October Id, 15, 10,
with a view to buying car load of reg
istered stock. 4 shall be glad to buy for
any parties who may entrust me with
orders accompanied with sufficient
money to pay for the animals desired.
TERMS: All orders should be directed
to the undersigned. State specifically
the breed, age, sex and number of ami
mails wanted, and the highest price the
purchaser is willing to pay. Only the
three breeds above mentioned can be had
in these sales, and all parties are advised
to buy youngest animals to be had, the
Oldest not to exceed 1S months of age.
The whole lot will be shipped to Glenn,
son College, and, if desired, will be held
long enough (60 to 90 days. to inoculate
and thoroughly acclimate them, They
will then be shipped as individual pur-
chasers may direct. The total cost to
the buyer will be the purchase price,
freight and actual cost of feeding while
at the experiment station.
The bulls brought down last winter
cost from about S75 to $3.50, or an aver
age of $102 each, delivered at the col
lege. The freight on each when re-
shipped to his purchaser was from S4 to
So. Those who wish me to buy cattle
for them are requested to send me at
least 800 not later than October 10th. 1t
is not probable that any desirable ami
mails can be had for less than $75, and
$5 to So. 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 ami
, mails until shipped to their owners.
For several years nearly all northern
cattle shipped to Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi aud Alabama haxo been in
occulated (vaccinated) to prevent their
death from acclimation fever fTexas
fever.) Young cattle shippedS to South
Carolina should be thus immuniEed in
spring. During the past two yearsSI
have inoculated S5 head and SO Ear
only one of them has died from Texas
fever.
If you desire purchases made please
| send order and mo1ey at once, as the
time for the sale is near at hand @
Yours truly,
G. K. Nesom, Veterinarian.
