Bio Live Stock Show

JACKSON.-Because of the largely In
creased Interest in live stock, and appre-
ciating the fact that great many visit
ors to the state fair come more to sec
and to purchase thoroughbred stock and
poultry than for any other one reason,
the management has almost doubled the
capacity of the buildings devoted to
swine and poultry. Last year more than
one thousand birds were shown at the
fair, and w. c, Taylor manager Of that
department. expects something like two
thousand OF the birds this fall. Mis-
sissippi fanciers have discovered that 1t
pays to have the best and to conine
themselves to one breed.
Hundreds of fine stock hogs have been
sold by those who exhibit at the state
fair These are scattered about over the
state, and teh business is yet in its in
fancy.
