The Atlanta Clearing House is in re-

authority in the North and East, which
says:
Tits now assumed that Atlanta is to
be enc of the centers."
The Virginia papers say the same

HOW TO MAKE GREATEST PROFIT
FROM BEEF PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA
BY Andrew Georgia College Agriculture

Hon can the Southern farmer engage
in beef production most economically
and secure the largest returns in the
least time? The answer is, put the
animals on the market by the time
they are "A months old, and ra.se
only those that are of the beef type.
A good sire from pure bred hero
will serve for laying the foundation.
By crossing with native cows, the
calves produced will lay on flesh more
rapidly and economically than the or
binary breeds and will kill out bet
ter in the hands of the butcher.
The heifer calves from these crosses
should be kept for breeding purposes.
1t is better that the beef calves should
be born in the winter or early spring
and permitted to suckle the COW ana
go out and learn to Craze with them,
so that at weaving time they will be
able to gather their own food and con
tinue to grow without material setback.
OF course, this is different practice
from that used in connection with the
dairy herd

ticks, these calves will continue to
grow uniformly during the summer and
fall. During the winter they can be
kept on a cereal pasture, or fed Stage,
and for grain, can be fed two pounds
of cotton seed meal. If straw or other
roughage is to be had it will supple.
ment silage or pasture with good re

Pastured through the spring, summer
and fall, they should reach November
weighing from 600 to 500 pounds. Fed
on silage and cotton seed meal again,
they should reach a weight Of. from
1000 to 1900 pounds when two years

be obtained only by use of beef types
of cattle as described, and under good
management.
No section Of the country affords
so inviting a field for beef production
