MOUNTAIN STOCKRAISERs TAKR
UP WORK WITH MORE INTEREST,".
Ale Shipping Cattle to Eastern Part
Of State to be Fattened-Big
Stock Growers.

H# ON0C
The rapid development OF the live
stock industry in the South is strik-
flgly illustrated by the reports of the
Live Stock Agent of the Southern
Railway company, and the progress
made in the development of improved
beef cattle is particularly noteworthy.
Southern farmers fully appreciate
the advantages of improving their
herds through the introduction of pure
bred animals and recent sales of high
class cattle have been so well patron
lied by Southern buyers as to insure
Periodical sales of the leading beef
breeds in the South hereafter.
A notable new development report
ed on is the movement of cattle from
Western North Carolina to the eastern
part of the state to be fattened for
market. This development is being
promoted by the North Carolina Beef
Breeders and Feeders association and
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton with the close cooperation of the
Southern Railway. In a letter to the
Live Stock Agent of the railroad, R. 3.
Curtis, in charge Of the beef cattle
Investigations Of the experiment sta
ton, expresses much satisfaction with
this years work covering the feeding
ana marketing of about 800 steers, part
OF which were fed at the experiment
station at East Raleigh, N. c., and
others by n. A Darby, G. "A. Holiness,
G.. F. Osborne, ]. H. Jordan, w. Fl.
Hart and W. W. Graves at points in
the eastern part of the State. A few of
these cattle sold for Sc. 90 and $3.50
pc hundred on the Baltimore market
and the balance brought prices rang
ing from $500 to $685. per hundred on
the same market.
Farmers in Western North Carolina
find profit in the sale of these feeders.
and, with a view to maintaining and
improving the supply, they are buying
high class registered animals of the
best beef breeds. During the month
of February, DR.. G. d. Lowe, Assistant
Live Stock Agent of the Southern
Rai1wya, acting for Chas. A. Webb,
| Haywood Parker and Capt. W. T
. Weaver, of Asheville, visited the Aber-
den Angus breeding farm of Messrs.
Eecher & Ryan, at Irwin, Iowa, n
bought for them 81 head of registered
cattle. In addition to these, Capt
| Weaver has recently bought a high
class Aberdeen Angus bull from L. A
French, at Cascade, Va, and Mr.. Par
ker bought one from a breeder in I'LL
uofs. Aberdeen Angus herds are also
to be established in Western North
Carolina bye. E. Orr, of Brevard, and
