, not only characterized the work o
the speakers. but the big audience
evinced the greatest interest in tn,

A Splendid Corn Talk.
The program was begun with one
Of the excellent corn talks by Prof
Neel, who has proven himself emf
nently qualified to bring out all Of the
good points in the culture Of corn
He has made thorough study OF corn,
and apparently has mastered the de
tails fully.
Demonstrations were made with
corn which had terminated, and
many practical thoughts brought out
by the lecturer. No one can hear Prof.
Neel without being impressed with
the thoroughness of his instruction
Many questions were asked by the
class, and all manifested much inter-
est throughout the lecture.
Prof. Morgan Talks o. Feed.
Following Prof. Neel Prof. Morgan
continued the discussion Of practical
feeding which he began at the morn
ing session Prof. Morgan covered
many of the important phases of the
subject, and the same interest and at
tention were manifest as had been the
case during the time occupied by Prof.
Neel. Prof. Morgan covered a great
deal Of ground in the discussion OF his
subject, and showed the absolute ne
cessity for system on the part OF the |
farmer in knowing what his feed is
costing him, and the results which are
being attained by the feed. Corn, hay,
clover, soy beans, oats, ETC., and dry
ICED, were discussed, and the profes-
;or showed what might be expected
rom each. He considered the feed
or young as well as old animals. 81 I

question of manure was shown to play I.
n important part in the feed matter.
lie gave his hearers some valuable
in regard to rations, and
pent much time in going into detail
g to the best feeds and best methods
f feeding. !,
Prof. Morgan showed that soy beans
re very valuable for the farmer in
lany ways, and that the Impotence
the soy bean was not likely TO be
verestimated, for it has many excel |
mt uses.
