Col. H. L. Groom of Groom, Tex
is in the city with a lot of fine mules
which he has brought to Mississippi to
dispose OF off his cattle ranch in Texas.
Col. Groom and his father are engag-
ed extensively in breeding shorthorn
cattle and have in their herd some of
the best strains known in that breed.
These gentlemen have at the A. & NJ.
College ut Starville 6S head of choice
animals which they will offer for sale
on the 9TH OF March. The shorthorn
combine all the qualities desired in both
milk and beef animal and the people
of the state would do well to improve
their cattle bv incorporating into their
herds the blood of fine breeds. Missis-
sippi will soon be recognized as the
best section in which to raise cheap beef
and the sooner we begin to raise beef
cattle the better for those engaged in
the business. Col. Groom expresses
belief that the cheap feed OF this section
will soon transfer the raising of beef
to this section. He invites all interest
ed to atterd the sale at Stark vile.
