President Hardy, of the Mississippi
A. & M. College, says that affairs
at that splendid institution are in q
most prosperous condition. On the
31st of May the college authorities
will locate the two experiment sta
lions authorized by the recent legis-
lature, one to be located in the delta
and the other in the north central por-
ton of the State. The communities
that desire these stations must get up
their petitions, setting forth what in
ducements they will offer and lay them
before the president as soon as pos
sible. President Hardy says that the
college Is now using every effort to i'm
prove the breed of cattle in MISSISSIPPI

the work has been very successful. In

for the erection of new barns, for
which purpose $4,000 was appropriate
ed by the legislature. Experiments In
cattle-raising will then be conducted
on larger scale

Of the business is that nobody in Mis-
sissippi dresses poultry for market.
Turkey meat is selling for rs cents a
pound and dressed hens are worth 81
each in any market in the State. There
is no reason why raising poultry for
the market could not be made as
profitable in Mississippi as anywhere
else in the world
