TIIE STUDENTS' JUDGING CONTEST 
Twenty States were represented in the 
collegiate dairy cattle judging contest. 
Each team consisted of three men. and 
they were required to place three classes 
in each of I he four breeds of dairy cattle. 
At all previous contests the students were 
required to submit in writing reasons for 
the placings. This year the system was 
discarded and they were required only to 
write their reasons in the aged cow class, 
thus putting more emphasis on placings 
of the individual classes'. 
The North Dakota team, coached by 
Prof. J. ft. Uyce, won the premier honors 
with a score of 3,717 points. The Oregon 
team, coached by Prof. ft. C. .Tones, was 
second with 3.010 points, while Iowa, 
coached by Prof. Weaver, was third. In¬ 
dividual honors were captured by Alfred 
K. Beale of Oregon. The team from 
North Dakota excelled in the judging of 
Ayrshire?, New Hampshire with Guern¬ 
seys, Oregon with Jerseys, while the 
Purdue team had the highest, score in the 
Holstein classes. An unusual situation 
presented itself in the Holstein judging 
classes. Seven studeuts had placed every 
animal correct in all three classes, and 
three of these students had been accorded 
identical scores on (heir reasons for plac¬ 
ing the cow classes: hence three stu¬ 
dents had tied for first honors in this <li 
vision. The committee, having no prece¬ 
dent for a complication of this character, 
decided lo have the reasons typed and 
read to Judge Moscripf. in the hope that 
he could grade them and thus terminate 
the contest. As a result, of this decision 
I. N. Ruple of the Illinois team received 
the scholarship as offered by the Hol¬ 
stein Association. 
In the junior contest there had been 
only one girl contesting on the nine teams 
that contended; nevertheless she was 
winner of individual honors. It is doubt¬ 
ful if any contest has been completed 
with less friction and with fewer misun¬ 
derstandings. The classes were carefully 
selected, for the most part they were in¬ 
telligently placed, and the students went 
about their work in an orderly manner. 
TIIE JERSEYS 
The show of Jerseys was scarcely rep¬ 
resentative of the standing or popularity 
of the brped in this country. The herds 
from the South and Southwest that al¬ 
ways add strength and foster keen com¬ 
petition were absent, and the Canadian 
exhibitors who brought down such a se¬ 
lect grout 1 ot prize winners last year had 
no entries. In the aged bull class Fern’s 
Noble Oxford Sultan, shown by Twin 
Oaks Farm, Morristown, N. J„ defeated 
the Iowa hull. Financial Beauty’s King, 
shown by Meredith Jersey Farm, Dps 
Moines, la.. More size and scale with 
straighter lines aud more depth of body- 
enabled him to win over the second prize 
bull, though the latter excelled in qual¬ 
ity, dairy type aud finish. The aged bull 
was defeated for the senior championship 
by Fern’s Wexford Noble, shown by Twin 
Oaks Farm. This three-year-old was 
later made Grand Champion hull, and 
was clearly the outstanding bull of the 
show. He was masculine, resolute and 
stylish, carried a wonderful front, a 
straight top. and evidenced quality and 
breediness at every turn. Ilis ‘ great 
depth and rare spring of fore rib, coupled 
with his length and balance throughout, 
helped to stamp him as the logical win¬ 
ner. Twin Oaks won all firsts in the 
senior bull classes, and displayed the win¬ 
ning herd. In the female classes the 
judges selected a dry cow, Givenchy, 
owned by Ayer & McKinney, Meredith, 
N. Y., to head the aged cow class. Where 
the younger things were shown. Twin 
Oaks again came with a rare selection. 
The three-year-old cow, Volunteer’s Rosy 
Fern, headed n strong class. With a 
nicely balanced udder carrying four well- 
shaped teats and rare veining, she pre¬ 
sented a popular type. While a trifle 
small, she was milky from tip to tail. 
The Junior and Grand Champion female 
was Jasmine’s l’retly Fanny, 
THE GUERNSEYS 
The Guernsey following always attends 
shows in large numbers. The crowds, 
too, enjoy seeing this popular type of 
dairy animal parade. More quality and 
competition has been seen and enjoyed 
than was present this year, especially in 
the hull classes. The aged hull class was 
ragged and lacked uniformity of type. 
The Senior and later Grand Champion 
hull. Boss of Koskonong Place, shown by 
Tarr Brothers of Wisconsin, had many 
strung features. He evidenced scale with 
quality, carried great depth and width, 
and walked with pleasing style and car¬ 
riage. The second prize hull, Superb of 
Edgeuioor, shown by F. J. Rueping, was 
upstanding, inclined to go down in his 
hack, and lacked depth and thickness of 
body. The third prize hull. Lady Smith’s 
Cherub, three times Grand Champion at 
this show, begins to show his age and 
ought not to have been fitted for thjs 
occasion. His hind legs are faulty, his 
hind end peaked, and he fails to march 
around with the ease, style and prestige 
he formerly possessed, lie had nothing 
to gain, and much prestige to lose at this 
show. Cherub’s Pearl Royal of Pomeroy 
won in the three-year-old class and was 
the chief contender for Senior Champion. 
With a stiller top line, less paunch, and 
more refinement at shoulder, his chance 
of winning would have been greater. He 
excelled in color and displayed more 
depth of body than did the winner.
