b. 1867
These practical early 20th-century guides come from a U.S. Department of Agriculture specialist who wrote for farmers and livestock workers. His work focuses on hands-on animal inspection, cattle aging, and stable sanitation rather than literary biography.
George W. Pope, identified in library records as George Whitfield Pope and born in 1867, was a U.S. Department of Agriculture writer whose surviving publications center on animal health and farm management.
His best-known works include Determining the Age of Cattle by the Teeth and Practical Methods of Disinfecting Stables. In these bulletins, he wrote in a direct, useful style aimed at helping readers handle everyday problems in livestock care.
Available sources also connect him with the Bureau of Animal Industry, including the Quarantine Division and later the Field Inspection Division. Reliable biographical detail beyond his government work is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this overview stays close to the record that is clearly supported.
