Many of the formers are going home with the determination to come back next year and enter the trials for the prizes. This is one way in which the managers of this school have tried to create a more widespread interest in the raising and care of live stock. Al are pleased with the suc- cess of this department of the school. which combines the enthusiasm of a contest with the getting of practical knowledge. which the contestants must have. Especially is this true of the judging contests. which are given such an important place on this schedule
 It is interesting to note the Interest in these contests taken by the mer- chants of Auburn who gave quite a large number of special prizes. It is expected that next year they will again make possible a large number of these special prizes in addition to those given by the school authorities.
