The enrolment for the short course
showed further increase today. To-
tal of 337 being classified for study
at noon. The enrolment was divided

NAL husbandry departments. and ll9

class. The forenoon class today was
the largest in the domestic science
department. of the entire week.
The work Of the different classes was
carried on smoothly and without IN
corruption, and the most intense IN
ferent branches. The milking machine
demonstration proved of great interest,
especially to the many who had never
seen one In use.
Auction Of Corn Saturday.
The auction OF the prize corn, which
is the property of the short course as
sociation, will take place Saturday
afternoon immediately after the parade
OF the live stock, at l o'clock. The
east court room will be used for the
auction instead of the corn judging
room, for the reason that better light
is afforded. 1t is believed that the
bidding for the best corn. to be used
for seed, will be most spirited.
Professor Jones Coming.
Professor J. Wilkes Jones, secretary
of the National Corn Growers associa-
ton. late of Iowa State College. but
now general manager of the National
Corn exchange, at Omaha, Neb., will
be in the city to take charge of the
sale.
In "a letter to NJ. A. Hauser today
Mr.. Jones kindly offers his services to
the association without any cost
whatever Usually. however, the de-
mands upon him for time entail an
expense of $50 per day Mr.. Jones
feels indebted to Marshall county men
for work done for him and the state
college in experi. ntal work, and does
not wish to charge this county any
thing for his services. Mr.. Jones
says in his letter: when I recall the
many helpful things that our Marshall
county friends have done for us in the
past, it seems to me that about the
least thing could do in attempting to
reciprocate the many splendid favors
would be for me to come over there
and help you in any way possible, even
at my personal expense, for I am very
sure can never fully repay you and
other of our Marshall county friends"
Professor Jones will likely reach the
charge of the sale of the corn Satur-
day afternoon. He is acknowledged
to be one Of the best posted men on
corn in the entire country

of the animal were badly involved, and
the liver and spleen We're one mass of
pus. The glands were also infected.
While this was the result Of the inter-
nal examination, every outward ap-
pearance indicated the COW to be per-
fectly healthy. She was fat as could
be, and ate and drank as any cow
should under normal conditions. Mayor

of the diseased parts, to be used in
the campaign of education against tu-
berculosis in milk COWS.
