ty-Ames Short Course are holding
meetings each day, compiling the
premium list and arranging for the six
day program of the course to be held
in Denison February 9th to 14th.
We are advised that the premium
list will be compiled on Friday of this
week, when it will be turned over to
the printers and the short course
premium list and program printed and
circulated throughout the entire coun-
ty. Many hundreds of dollars worth
of prizes have been donated, which
will be awarded as prizes in the diff
ferent departments of the course. Sec
retary Rollins tells us that every mail
is bringing in letters with promises of
valuable prizes in the shape of farm
machinery, cream separatOrs, stock
food, seeds of different kinds, etc. The

We are advised that competition for
these premiums will be keener than it
was at the last short course. Farmers
have made special efforts to raise
grains and grasses superior to those
exhibited at the course last year, and
there is more or less of spirit of riv-
airy between farmers in the several
districts of the county.
There will be several new features
in the short course this year, we are
k@1r IN
Wednesday there will be classes held
in horticultural work, and we under
stand that practical demonstrations
will be made in regard to caring for
trees and shrubbery. On Friday af-
ternoon special lectures will be deliv-
cred treating on hog cholera. This
is q subject in which every farmer of
the county is interested, and the lee
lures should be well attended. Anoth-
er new feature of the course Is the
health baby show, which will be held
under the auspices of the Friday club.
The show will be conducted on scien-
tific lines and babies up to two years
of age may be entered. AS we under
stand it, babies will be Judged by
measurements and the Judging will be
done by a person outside of the coun-
ty and one who has had considerable
experience with baby shows.
