STATE COLLEGE TEAM Wins
JUDGING CONTEST AT PORTLAND

At the Pacific International Dairy
Show recently held in Portland a
stud nts' dairy judging contest was
held. Washington State College
entered one team. Five classes of
dairy stock were judged and the
final score was:
Washington State College, 1850
points-1st prize.
Oregon Agricultural College list
team 1715 points--2nd prize.
Oregon Agricultural College (2nd
team 1900 points-3rd prize.
Utah Agricultural College, 1880
points-4th prize.
The Pullman team was: V. Nc
Worter, H. FREEZER, O. Fletcher,
w. Lincoln, c. Morgan, F. Smith.
JUDGING LIVE STOCK
Stock Judging is an important phase
Of the Animal Husbandry and Dairy
Husbandry courses at the State Col
lege at Pullman. Students are taught
how to select the most useful type
of animal, whether it be draft horses,
dairy cattle, hogs, beef cattle or
sheep. They learn to detect I'M
soundness in horses-such as side
bone, ringbone, SPAWN, etc. In
the dairy cattle they know what in
dicates strong constitution, power
to produce much milk, and what
conditions indicate udder trouble.
In studying both swine and beef
cattle, great emphasis is placed on
the qualities which denote good
breeders and quick feeders.
A knowledge of stock is valuable
and helpful to every person who
handles live stock.

How Moose Jaw Got lite Name.

Moose Jaw is a strange name for
city, and it may be of interest to know
how such a name was given. Some
fifty years ago, so the story goes, a
pioneer with his team Of oxen and
prairie schooner" while passing along
the banks of the river, was obliged to
camp at this point, In Saskatchewan,
on account of an accident to his cart
as q spoke had fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart.
He looked around for something to In
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busted herself
with the evening meal. The pioneers
child, while romping around. found
the jawbone of moose, which she
held up to her father. who by this
time almost despaired of finding some
thing with which to mend his wagon.
and was delighted to find that the jaw
bone exactly fitted the place of the
missing spoke. The Indians Thereafter
named this part Of the river The
Place Where the White Man Found the
Moose Jaw" This accounts for the
towns unforgettable name.-London
