thero wns much amused Interest as
to tho outcomo of tho contests be

entific and theoretical training and
tho boy who had been taught practi
cal farming by his fnthor ovory day
on an actual farm. That was In the
days when tho valuo of scientific
training was little recognized and old
wnys wero thought tho best. Then
enme tho contests, In which, to tho
surprise of nil but a fow, tho collego

In somo of tho schools, and today,
"students' day" at tho livestock show
