IN CONNECTION WITH CORN

Everybody, men as well as women.
will be interested in the exhibits and
demonstrations which the department
OF domestic science of the agricultural
college will make in connection with
the second annual corn show held dur
ing the Tri-State Grain Growers con-
vention, Jan. IS to 81.
This will be new addition to the
attractions which are on during the
convention, being the first time that
this department of the college has un-
dertaken such an exhibit of it's work
during the great annual gathering of
the farmers from the three states. Miss
Jessie Hoover, dean OF women and
Instructor In the domestic arts. said
this morning that, being the first
show of its kind to be undertaken, the
department would not try to make a
very extensive exhibit but will make
1t the best that can be secured. Even
with this statement 1t is evident that
the show will be quite large and will
include all the departments of work
In this branch Of study.
The show will occupy the southeast
room of the lower floor Of the building
recently vacated by the Fargo Mer-
camille Co., on N. p. avenue. The
great annual corn show will be held
in the ground floor of this structure
and part of the space has been set
aside entirely for the domestic science
exhibits.
In the domestic arts the display win
be quite large. Several varieties of
dresses will be shown, being minia-
ture models made entirely by the
girls of the department and trimmed
and put together with as much care
as would a regular sized gown. The
details of each gown will be shown
In all stages of construction. There
will be exhibits of pattern making, de-
hand sewing and every fea-
ture connected with the construction
of feminine wearing apparel.
Big Cooking Exhibit.
In the domestic science department
the exhibit will also be most inter- |
esting. There will be shown all kinds
of preserved and canned fruits, breads. |
meats and cakes. Menus will be print |
ed showing various articles of food |
and the cost, including the price of
the raw foodstuffs and the cost of |
preparation and serving, taking in |
even the average amount of gas used
in cooking. The domestic science de-
partment of the agricultural college
has been assigned, by the American
Beef Growers association, to make
experiments in cooking shinbones and
the results Of this work will be shown
In full at the show. 1--WE were very
fortunate in being assigned to The

least expensive of all parts of beef

In addition to these there will also
be a demonstration made of fireless
cooking and Of the value Of durum
wheat as a bread producer. Both of
-hese subjects are of immense impor-
,ance at the present time and are
worthy of close study. Fireless cook

methods of preparing food and in the

All told, the show Of the domestic
