HOWARD COLLEGE OPENS WEDNESDAY Prospects Bright for the Seventy-Fifth Session of
 Local Institution

Howard college will open it's doors at o'clock Wednesday morning for
 the seventy fifth annual session with l prospects for the biggest enrolment and the best year in its history Registration will be suspended at 10:30 o'clock for the address by Nor ris w. Bush, president of the Birming- ham Chamber of Commerce, and for announcements by President James M. Shelburne. Robert Lawrence, dean of the Howard school of music, will sing. TEe public has been invited to these exercises.
 Following the address in the college auditorium registration will be con- tinued throughout the day Delayed egistration will be continued during the balance of the week. Classes will
 meet at o'clock Thursday for as- signments. Ne college dining room and dormitories will be opened in time for supper Monday night in order to accommodate those who arrive early. President Shelburne said yesterday he was unable to make a satisfactory estimate of the number of students ex- nected for the session. He said the college was making an effort to put the freshman class beyond the 100, mark, and he thought this would be accomplished. It was pointed out that tue IOtdl cIlIOllutcHL LOT lH0 SeSSlOn might show some loss, since something like 75 students were being cut off by the abolishment of the first three years of the high school department. You see we will have to make an unusual gain in order to overcome this and keep up our regular increase" said President Shelburne. "Yet never
 before has Howard had such power full appeal for Alabama students, and
 never before has it's work, it's influence and its following counted for more We may show good gain after all" Fourth year high school students will be cared for through the regular faculty members for next session en- abling them to get college advantages, though doing high school work. After next session, in line with the action of the Howard board of trustees last May, there will be no high school or subcollegiate courses offered at How and.
 .Howard not only retains every fac ulty member for next session, but has added Dr. J. B. Longwell of the Uni-
 versity of Pennsylvania as director of athletics" said President Shel-
 burne. And we have been led by our
 friends to believe we are as we'll
 equipped for service as we could rea-
 sonably expect to be. We have made
 nurgber of Improvements on the
 campus. Among these Is the addition
 of an excellent athletic field. tho
 equipment of a room for the depart
 ment of journalism, and building for
 the department of music"
 President Shelburne said he was
 greatly pleased with the growing ap-
 preciation of Birmingham of Howard
 college and what the institution is do- ing. He expressed the hope that cit izens of the city would avail them selves more often of an opportunity to visit the college and investigate its work.

WHAT TO DO WHEN SHOWING LIVESTOCK AT THE FAIRS
By R. H. Williams, University of ArI

By R. H. Williams, University of Ariz. It is important that every breeder of improved stock show his animals at both county and state fairs. Al though the expense of showing may be considerable. yet this is the best way to keep up-to date in business. 10 effect improvement. and also ad- YertIse your animals. The show ring is the years measure which IS used to compare the relative merits of the animals owned by the different bTeeders.>
 Selecting Animals
 One requires several yearg Of ex perience 10 enable him To select the best animals m hls herd for the show ing. Commence as early as August 10 prepare for the state fair which comes in November. Select the best aIIlInaIs you nave, and II there Is any question aOouI thIs choice II Is al Na!s wIse IO llcIuue al the anImaIs that may deSeiop into proper show iorln. ms Is especially true of growing anImaIs, Tor one cannot tel w4tn cerIalnIy how they may deseiop Mltn age.
 Feeding Animals
 Livestock inIeuQed for shows should be led wea baiaaced ration oYvr a sufficiently long period to uahe them lat and seek al show tILneS. Inns IS C2I4ed boom In the show ring. Many oI the most fancy animals are hepI Ill Toomy UoG sLalis CuHAs IEe Qay III Ihs warm weather. but are turueu out al uIsnl for sAer- cIse aLd some grass. A pasture ueId consisting OI uIIAed alfalfa aud bermuua Sfass would Lc spIsHGIu Tor thIS purpose NolHGnS IS better than oats Tor any kIud OI IIyeslOck, and in equal proportions should prove satisfactory. Ihis should be ground finely and the animals fed three times day, Roushage may consist Of alfalfa hay, sllage, Sudan grass and other folders. One Of the sec reJs of making bloom" on animals Is to give them great variety of feed as possible, and feed them often. Most oi the winning animals at the best fairs are fed four or five times a day
 Training.
 It is always a mistake to show animals that have rot been properly trained. ThiL may easily be done by taking a little time each day to get the animals to stand properly and go where directed. This work is an art, and it requires considerable experience to make an animal show to best advantage Before show time the animals will require considerable exercise and this may be had by leading. which will also help to train the animals to respond to guid. ance with grace

Most of the big sheep states. Mon tana, oregon. Idaho, Wyoming and California. fell off in the number of sheep ou the ranges last year. Of the few states which made gains. Arizona
 IS in the front rank. and the number . Iof sheep in the State January 1st. of this year was estimated by the Govern ment staticians to be 1.S49.000 head. gain of SS,000 since the year before
 These were estimated to have a value on the ranges and farms of $S.690. .0D0. Our wool clip for 1915 was 5.sS5,000 pounds. The clip this year Is a little snort in pounds. out will net the grow. 1ers more money. The increase in .aIDDs wlil almost equal the estimated value of the sheep. so that with wool around 30 cents. 1t will be seen that the sheep industry of Arizona is close 10 ten million dollar business. It Is therefore fitting that the exhibit of sheep at the State Fair should be in keeping with this industry which brings in so much money to the state. money which is expended and rein vested here in our own state; money which is indirectly the product of the soil. and which does not leave the soil materially poorer.
 In past years we have had some few exhibits of range bred sheep. but not as many as we should have had. The expense or bringing an exhibit IS considerable, and the fact that we have had Q fairly creditable exhibit from the ranges has been due to the fact that many of the sheep breeders have felt that it was something of a patriotic duty to make an exhibit.
 In view of the importance of the range sheep industry to the state 1t was felt that especial encouragement should be given 10 exhibitors of range bred sheep. and therefore the pre- mium list has been revised, and the heaviest premiums placed on the range sheep.
 The Grand Prize will be a magnifi- cent silver trophy cup which will be given to the exhibitor showing the best pen of ten Rambouillet rams, of any age. A silver medal will be given for the best pen of ten rams of any other recognized breed. Winning either of these prizes will be an achievement which is well worth striving for. Prizes are being offered
