I'D at 8 M, two rings each of horses,
cattle and swine, consisting Of three or
more animals, and not less than two
varieties of corn of ten ears EACH" The

the foregoing will be the beneficiary OF
5000 placed to his credit at the State
College. Young men can secure blanks
upon which to make entries in this con-
test by addressing Secretary ]. G. Simp-
son, Des Moines. All entries must be
in the hands of the secretary on or be-
fore August 10th. Those who have
taken short courses at the State College
are not barred from the contest, but
regular students of agricultural colleges
are barred, because it is intended espec-
tally for amateurs. Those who contest
ed last year are not barred and many
will try again. Last year the prize
went to Ellis Rail, Of Birmingham, Iowa
and he is now student regularly en-.
rolled at Ames.
