author
b. 1867
Known today for a practical U.S. Department of Agriculture bulletin on livestock inspection, this early 20th-century writer turned technical know-how into clear, useful reading. His surviving work focuses on cattle and stable sanitation rather than literary fame, but it offers a vivid glimpse of everyday agricultural science.
by George W. (George Whitfield) Pope
George W. Pope, listed in library and public-domain records as George Whitfield Pope and born in 1867, is best remembered for practical agricultural writing connected with the United States Department of Agriculture. The clearest surviving record links him to Determining the Age of Cattle by the Teeth, issued as Farmers' Bulletin No. 1066 in August 1919.
That bulletin identifies him with the USDA's Quarantine Division, and other catalog records also connect his name with works on disinfecting stables and determining the age of farm animals by their teeth. Taken together, these records suggest a career centered on animal industry, inspection, and hands-on farm guidance.
Very little easily verifiable biographical detail appears to survive online beyond his name, birth year, and publications. What does remain shows a writer whose work was meant to be practical above all else: short, direct government bulletins designed to help farmers and livestock handlers make sound decisions in the field.
