A far larger company of ladies and
young people were present on Tues
day morning, when Mrs Salisbury
spoke on the subject of Contagious
Diseases" All of the various talks
on these subjects are illustrated by
large and comprehensive charts,
which give the main features of her
talks in a few words. The sanitary
conditions Of the home as it applies
to pure air, pure water and even
pure milk and other kindred subjects
were thoroughly discussed and many
notes were taken by the ladies pres
ent. After the discussion of this
subject a demonstration was given
on Cake Making. Two cakes were
made as illustrating the work done
and last of all, the frosting was pre-
pared in the fun sight of the class.
At the afternoon session samples
of these cakes We're distributed. The
subject for the afternoon was the
Care of children and the Diet of
School Children" and the demonstra-
ton was Luncheon" During these
talks and demonstrations many Ques-
lions are asked by the ladies. A no.
table feature in these classes is the
active interest taken by the young
ladies and even the children, in Ques-
tiOns that apply to the success of the
house. During their work on the plat,
form, both Mrs. Salisbury and her
assistant, Miss Helen Watts, are
dressed in white and everything
about their work is the embodyment
of the most perfect sanitary condi,
tons. This point is strongly empha-
sized in al of their teaching.

Prof. E. Fl. Gable had charge of
the first session this morning. He
gave an address on the use of con
crete on the farm. The increased
use of this material has caused the
professor to make a special study of
the cement for the building of var
ious things on the farm.
Prof. Mosher had charge of the
second class. Instruction was given
in the judging Of seed corn, and what
kind of corn to plant. Many things
were taken into consideration, the
soil, the climate, etc. The selection
of seed corn and show corn should
not vary. Place the corn on show
that you would believe to make the
best seed corn. Don't always take
the large ear. Sometimes the small,
we'll filled ear will produce more
corn per acre than will the large ear.
| The small ear will as a rule fill out
| better and will mature much sooner
| than will the large and long ear. The
class in the study of corn is very
large. Practically every table in the
room is occupied. There is still
room for more students.
