Stock Judging at the Iowa College.
A communication from the Iowa Ag.
ricultural College says: That the prac.
teal man is beginning to appreciate
the value OF an agricultural education
and the work OF tle agricultural col
leSe was never better demonstrated
than II was during the present month
ut the Iowa Agricultural College. Dur
ing the two weeks from January 9th to
18th over four hundred people, repre-
senting almost every county In Iowa
and all the surrounding states, attend
ed the special short course in stock and
grain judging They constituted re-
markable class. Men OF all ages were
present. Graduates OF Chicago. Illl-
nois, Yale. Minnesota and Iowa univer-
sites. Kansas and North Dakota agrl-
cultural colleges and several OF the de-
nominational colleges worked earnest
ly with the man who had no othyr edu-
cation than that acquired in the rural
school and that most expensive insti-
tuuon, the school Of experience. A
most faithful lot they were, always on
the alert to learn something. In addi-
tlon to the regular corps of instruction
the following well-kn6wn authorities
were present and aided very materially
the nature OF the work done: Prof. T.
q. Holden, Pekin ILL.,, formerly pfofes-
sor Of agronomy, University OF Illinois
on grain Judging; Alex. Galbraith.
Janesville. Wis, on heavy horses; VIM.

lon Stock Yards. Chicago, on beef cat
tie; Hon. A. J. Lovejoy, Roscoe, H..
and Geo. Heyl, Washington, H., on
swine. Three days were devoted each
to the Judging OF horses, cattle, sheep
and swine. Excellent material was pro
Wded throughout for the class work.
The college herds OF cattle and shcep
furnished abundance OF good stock for
that work, while in addition to the
college swine herds many breeders sent

horse work, however, where quality
reigned supreme.

King Edward, However, is Not Appre.

Queen Alexandra has developed a
terror of anarchist outrage bordering
on superstition, and in consequence,
as 1t Is down on the royal program
that the king and queen shall travel a
great deal this year, the detective de-
partment, the railway companies and
the postoffice are making elaborate
arrangements to insure their safety.
special body of picked men from
Scotland Yard will be detailed, and for
the first time in the history of royal
travelling an expert telegrapher and
telephone operator will accompany
the train.
special apparatus will be provided.
SO that in the event of any mishap, 1t
can be attached to the nearest tele-
graph or telephone wire and communi-
cation obtained so that assistance can
be summoned from the nearest station.
These precautions are said to be the
suggestion of her majesty | am in
formed by member of the Scotland
Yard force that she, on more than one

Prof. E. S. Goff in q communication
to the Wisconsin Horticulturist says:
We Wisconsin people have been very
free to denounce the Ben Davis apple
because OF Its lack OF good quality, and
yet what would we have done this sea.
son without the Ben Davis? Probably
three-fourths OF the apples that have
came TO the Madison market since Mo-
vember have been OF this variety; and
only this variety has been sold at d
price that q poor man could afford to
pay. And with the exception OF very
few apples OF other varieties that have
sold at the rate OF above seven dollars
per barrel, have been able to find no
apples good OF their kind except the
stigmatized Ben Davis. There is an
old proVerb-"Speak well OF the bridge
that carries you safely over''-that will
apply pretty well here. Whatever may
be said against the Ben Davis II "gets
there" and we can have apples when.
except for 1t. most OF us would have
had to do without. Driven by power
~ to accept this tourth-rate apple, I
N"'e naue Its acquaintance better than
ever before. and must confess that my
contempt for II has not increased with
familiarity. At It's best, its quality
will hold It's own with most north
western apples. 1t is fne-grained.
tender when ripe, and what flavor 1t
has Is appleish. 1t lacks juice. which
may be the secret OF its good keeping.
Its skin is thinner than In some other
varieties that rank much higher as
dessert apples. 1t is not much given
to scab-and has that prime requisite
OF success. good looks. or course tho
Ben Davis is not Wisconsin apple.
either by birth or adoption, and II new
er can be. but until we can offer some
thing better, why should we condemn
it?"
