really magnificent commercial depart

mage, but Clark can talk COW, horse,
sheep, pig, pulp, beets and molasscs
thirty-twO hours day fourteen days
a week, and the feature of it all is
that he impresses you that lie knows
what he is talking about.
Prof. Clark says I'VE aim TO do
things up here. We give twenty
weeks course in my department and of
this, eight weeks are devoted to book
work and lectures and the remaining
twelve weeks to practical work. The
boys ale taught to Judge animals by
their appearance, they are taught the
good and bad points, and their great
work at the last State fair testities to
the fact that they really learn some
thing.
1--WE teach the student how TO dag
nose diseases of horses and cattle and
how to treat them. All kinds of dis
cascd animals are brought to us and
we have practical demonstrations.
Our students are frequently sent out
TO treat animals and have been gener-
ally successful.
In speaking of CHAMBERS, Prof. Clark
said that he had diagnosed three
cases during the past few weeks. He
is Of the opinion that there should be
a veterinarian to look after matters OF
this kind. Prof. Clark says that it is
practically impossible to always ident-
ify CHAMBERS as it is possible for a
horse to be diseased and a source of
infection without the owner knowing
it. A test must be made.
At the present time experiments
are being made as to che value of the
sugar beet, beet molasses and beet pulp
as food for cattle, sheep, and swine.
1t is stated that the best results are
being obtained from the pulp and
molasseS. The farmers can better
afford to sell their beets and buy the
pulp for feed This beet molasses is a
complete waste at the factory. but
fed TO hogs is worth from 81 30 to 81. so
Il ton. With cows the beet pulp is
worth about 500 per ton. Prof.
Clark says his findings are so excellent
that lie doubts their accuracy almost,
and is now duplicating the work as a
test.
The fine animals at the experiment
station came up for consideration,
and it was stated that there are now
three breeds of sheep, three of hogs,
four of cattle, Il total of 40 cattle and
go sheep, all thoroughbreds. One mag,

ford variety weighs 1900. Clark warns
up when speaking Of the indifference
OF the farmers TO blooded stock. Only
$l.0O is charged for the bulls service
20 cents for the boar and like
amount for the ram, yet the average
person prefers to breed his animals u
scrubs.
Prof. Clark says the COW, properly
taken care of will produce better re
suits, make more money for the farm
er than any other and is of the opin
ion that the reason many dairymen Of
this country fail to get the best re
suits out OF their cows and are dis
couraged is because they pay no at
tention to breed, and don't know how
to Judge an animal, many time,

That piggery over which Prof. Clarl
presides is also quite an institution
kept cleaner than the alleys of Logar
and some splendid specimens of swine
are to be found there.
