ture, accompanied by sterenpticon
views of the O. A. C. with its various
and varied surroundings, and then
branched off on the work proper of
the members of the different indus
trial clubs throughout the state, giv
ing photos of many of the winners of
prizes in the different branches taken
bv the members. She devoted a good
portion of her lecture to those who
had tried their hand nt corn raising1,
:ind then illustrated the best way to,
dispose of the corn after it was raised
by show-ins four pigs, all the same
age, but of altogether different sizes,
showing Hie advantage of systematic
feeding. She then e,nve a lecture on
