Some time ago the chemical depart
ment decided to devote a considera-
BILE amount of time to soil investiga-
ticn work during the year. That work
will require the services of an extra
man in the department, namely soil
chemist, and the position has been Of
fered to Mr.. Forman Thompson of
Michigan university. Mr.. Thompson
will be a very valuable man If he can
be induced TO come, having had con-
siderable experience along this line.
He held at one time the position Sof
assistant at, the New York experiment
station, and has since done chemical
work in Australia and Hawaii.
The regular agricultural students
are very fortunate in being able to
take stock Judging during the fall
term this year, rather than during the
winter term as has been the custom
heretofore. Owing to the fact that
such a large number of students come
in for the short course during the
winter term, the class in stock judging
becomes very large and the amount of
work the individual can do with the
animals necessarily becomes very
much less, At present the class is
engaged in judging and placing cattle
and hogs in preparation for ths stu
dents contests at the orthwester live
stock show in st. Paul in which some
members Of the class will compete.
The dates of the show is November 10
to %.

thus giving the A. c. the undisputed
championship of the Dakotas The A..
C. team is an exceptionally strong one
this year, and would undoubtedly
make an excellent showing against
large team like that of the University
of Minnesota. I
IN convocati ion Monday morning, No
vember 4, the students were favored
by an address by Prof. Richards, OF
the department of animal husbandry,
on the subject Mix and It's Relation
ito the Food Supply. He emphasized
the yastness of the industry, citing a.
few figures from statistics in corrob-
Grafton of his statements, According
to the last census, the human con-
sumption OF milk for the year 1899,
was several billions Of gallons. the
value Of which was s451, 000, 900. He
stated that th cause of the high price
of milk is the fact that so many I'M
perfect machines, namely imperfect
types OF dairy cows, are used in its.
production. On the whole the address
was q highly practical and Instructive
one and It would be well if we might.
have more on subjects Of that nat
