Brussels and return for the Auto

double curl in their tail. But II is all over,
and the next day five men are wearing
smiles that can be seen half a mile away,
while the others try to grin, and register a
VOW to make the team next year.
The American Royal is something OF an
unknown quantity to Ames. Three years
ago they brought the trophy home with the
biggest score to their credit thai had ever
been made in a student judging contest.
In 1908 the Kansas team slipped one over
on their competitors and carried away the
trophy, and last year Missouri headed the
list. The Ames team went home grim and
determined, and set such a pace at the
international hat Missouri fell down to
sixth place, and was lucky to get that.
TIL students judging contest at the 1909
International will long be remembered as
one Of the fiercest fought battles Of the
ever held. The record OF 1910 points
out of a possible 5000 made by Ames sets
a record far in advance of anything ever
before made at the International, and one
which probably will not be equalled again
for years. This Victory has once more
made good the claim Of the Iowa Agricul-
tural college to having the best animal
husbandry course in the country.
The men who composed this years team
were M. G. Thornburg of Linden, Ia; j. ].
Thompson OF jamaica, Ia: O.. d. Baker OF
Edmund, Wis; r. w. Cassidy Of Whiting,
Ia, and Howard Vaughn of Marion. la.
The team was coached by Prof, Dlnsmore,
with the assistance OF the other members

all goes we'll, by the time the 1910 Interna-
tlonal is history this beautiful $3.50 trophy
viii have gone to swell the permanent col
lection in the trophy room Of the new
agricultural hall at Ames.
Soon after the results Of the 1900 contest
were announced, a prominent live stock
breeder said to a man who had been on the
Ames team a year previous. Nov just be-
tween you and me, how do you fellows do
it?" 1t took q half hours talk to convince
him that there wasn't some secret in the
process of making stock judges at Ames.
The only secret In the process is hard
work and constant training. ITO make the
team" is the goal Of the students ambi-
ton from the time he pays MS first janitor
fee until the proud day when he sees his
name among the upper five, or sadly
tucks his sheepskln under his arm and
trudges away without having attained the
coveted honor. The prep in the animal
husbandry course is set to work judging
stock the first day OF the term. Twice a
week. for two hours each time, he practices
in the stock judging pavilion. At first he
is given a score card and told to mark the
points in which the animal he is working
on fails to come up to his ideal. This is to
teach him the points OF an animal, and
their relative Importance. He learns to
tell a SPAWN from a sidebone He is taught
to tell the age of a horse by looking at its
teeth. and to estimate the amount OF porter
house steak In a steer by feeling of his
back.
After awhile two animals are brought
into the ring at once, and then three or
four. The student, who Is becoming more
proficient by this time, places them In
order OF merit. He is required TO get up
before the class and explain his pfacings,
comparing the good and bad points OF each
animal, giving to each one its due. OFTEN
his ideas conflict with those OF the In
struotor. and he is shown the error of his
ways.By continued practice his Judgment
improves, and he daily becomes more pro-
ficient.
When he comes back at the beginning
Of hts sophomore year, with a reef I'm the
bottom OF his trousers and a microscopic
cap on one corner OF his head, he is again
set to work Judging stock. This years
work deals more with breeding stock and
the types OF the different breeds. By the
time he has completed his sophomore year
he has learned the fine points OF all the
breeds and classes Of stock.
During the fall Of his Junior year the
student makes his first try for the team.
Score cards have long since been dispensed
with. and now oven the sheet OF paper on
which he wrote his reasons during his
sophomore year is discarded. He Is given
a card on which to record the number OF
the animals as he places them and the
rest he must store in his memory, He may
be called on to give his reasons for his
plaeings soon after the class is placed. or
It may be a week later. with a dozen
other classes between. That Is part OF the
training that Is 10 make him a successful
