PROGRESSIVE BEEF CATTLE RAISING 



Always carefully insert the number and kind of each 

 species of stock loaded. 



Always see that car order information is inserted when 

 the car furnished differs from the car ordered. 



Always insert the words "ordinary live stock" in the 

 description of stock except that "chiefly valuable for 

 breeding, racing, show purposes or other special uses." 



Always insert in the proper space the rate which you 

 understand is to be applied. If the rate and route con- 

 flict it is the agent's duty so to inform you. 



Always give specific instructions as to the place of 

 feeding enroute, indicating the kind and quantity of feed 

 to be furnished. 



Always release your shipment to the 36-hour limit 

 unless, in your opinion, the 28-hour limit should be 

 observed. 



Always declare the full value of other than "ordinary 

 live stock," otherwise you cannot recover more than the 

 declared value in case of loss. 



Never accept a contract where the carrier's agent seeks 

 to limit the liability of the carrier. 



Never declare the value of "ordinary live stock." The 

 agent cannot lawfully require this of you. 



Never pay a rate on "ordinary live stock" dependent 

 upon the declared value. If it has been paid file a claim 

 to recover the overcharge. 



Never let the railroad agent route your shipment 

 against your own preference. The law gives this right 

 to you exclusively. 



Never send an attendant unless he is an experienced 

 livestock man. The responsibilities are too great to 

 risk amateurs.
