LIVE STOCK INTERESTS
At THE COMING FAIR

Since Mississippi has begun to attract
the nation toward its unsurpassed ad-
vantages as live stock raising state,
each year finds at the State Fair an
increased number of contestants, some
coming from as far as Illinois and
Michigan. 1t is gratifying to note, how
ever, that those who have gone into
the business on a good scale in this state
have not only been able to hold their
own at the State Fair, but to go abroad
and bring home the blue ribbons. The
Davis farm near Jackson is an example
of what can be accomplished in live
stock raising in Mississippi.
The people are just beginning to real
ize what future the state has before
it in this respect. 1t means wealth, in
dependence and advancement of the
most beneficial kind.
Reports indicate that cholera has
dealt fatally in various parts of the
state with swine this year, but that
does not mean that the swine exhibits
are to be curtailed. 1t is all the more
reason that every Mississippi, farmer
interested in swine should meet at the
fair in October and November and dis
cuss this vital subject from every view
point. At the same time bring along
the best specimens from their own neigh
borhood as encouragement to the 9TH
ers.

POULTRY AND DOGS AT FAIR

The people will be glad to know that
Mr.. w. c. Taylor, superintendent of the
poultry department, predicts that the
State Fair will continue to hold tho
Southern record on poultry again. None
of the other fairs in this section have
yet approached the poultry show ia
numbers or in class either.
This is one of the most successful de-
partments the State Fair has. Visitors
from other states are loud in their praise
of Mississippi raised fowls.
1t will be a source of delight to dog
fanciers to know that the enthusiasts
Mord Fuller will again have charge of
the CANNES at the State Fair this year.

Avoid sedatIvs Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain codine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is need
ed. That cleans out the culture beds
or breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia ana other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from cold when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has world wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains
no morphine or other sedative. For
sale by all dealers.
