a fine lot of cows, heifers and
bulls. George Ge.IIin brought g

young animals, including 4 fine
imported bull sired by "Clara's Sc
quel." Some good representatives
of B. L. Rundell's choice herd
we're on hand.
The great feature of the day
was the Boys Judging contest.
Such contests have been held be-
fore, but did you ever hear Of
twenty prizes worth over sixty
dollars being hung up Tor the win
ners? 1t was a success and a
great big success. And for the
benefit of the boys Of northwest
ern Wisconsin, the association tells
me to announce that it will be an
annual event. High school prin
cipals and teachers Of agriculture,
please take notice, and it is hoped
that the business men of this sec
ton will be as liberal with their
prizes as they were this year.
We can't change the methods OF
the farmer who has run in the
same rut for thirty years, but we
can start the boy right.
The boys were given four class
es Of five animals each to place.
Mr.. GrisWOld of West Salem gave
the final decision. The boys from
the River Falls Normal would have
carried off the largest share Of
prizes but some of them were bar
red, being over eighteen but judi
ged for the practice. They re-
Elected much credit or their in
structor, Prof. Kuenning.
