The essays of Evan Howell and Bertrand Sparks deserve 

 special mention. It is unfortunate that there was not a special 

 prize offered to these boys, as it is hard for a boy under 12 to 

 compete with a boy of 16 years of age. The logic expressed by 

 these two boys is a credit to themselves. No doubt they will be 

 heard from in the near future.

Stock Judging Contest. 



The stock judging contest held Thursday afternoon, Feb- 

 ruary I, at Taylor Brothers' Barn, was the center of much 

 interest. The contest was held under the supervision of R. S. 

 Hulce, who was assisted by Mr. Yapp and Mr. Clark, all of 

 whom are members of the Department of Dairy Husbandry. 

 About sixty entered the contest and almost as many more were 

 onlookers. 



There were four classes of contestants: (i) owners of 

 purebred cows, (2) owners of grade cows, (3) boys 16 to 21 

 years of age, (4) boys under 16 years of age. Each class of 

 contestants placed two rings of animals, the purebred stock ex- 

 hibited being used for the work. The animals were numbered^ 

 and each contestant reported on a blank provided for that pur- 

 pose his placings of the animals and his reasons for so doing.
