Feeling  that  many  of  the  readers  of  this 
paper  are  deeply  interested  in  the  working 
of  the  Live  Stock  Department,  we  give  the 
following  facts  in  connection  with  the  work 
done  by  our  students,  and 
the  awards 
placed  upon  the  animals  which  we sent  for 
ward 
International 
show just  closed. 

to  the  second  great 

A word  as  to  the  character  and  scope  of 
the  International.  The  exhibits  were  classi 
fied  under  eight  heads:  Pure  bred  cattle, 
of which  there  were  129 exhibits, 858 entries; 
fat  stock,  79 exhibits,  207 entries;  pure  bred 
hogs,  68 exhibits,  546 entries;  fat  swine,  n 
exhibits.  29 entries;  pure  bred  sheep,  56 ex 
hibits  56S entries;  fat  sheep, 68 exhibits, 238 
entries;  Agricultural  Colleges,  15  exhibits, 
84  entries;  horses, 65  exhibits,  372  entries; 
making  a  grand  total  of  491 exhibits,  2,902 
entries. 

It  is probable  that  so  much  valuable  live 
stock  has  never  before  been  centered  at  one 
place.  The 
total  value  of  the  exhibits 
slightly  exceeded  $3,000,000.  The  pre 
mium  awards  aggregated 
approximately 
$110,000,  the greater  part  of  which  was  fur 
nished  from  the  treasury  of the  Union  Stock 
Yard  &  Transit  Co.,  who  are  the  financial 
backers  and  promoters  of the  enterprise. 

of 

The  magnificent  equipment 

stock 
barns  and  judging  arenas  was  altogether 
too limited  to accommodate  either  the  sight 
seers  or  the  exhibits  in  the  various  rings. 
Already  the  exposition  management 
are 
considering  the  advisability  of  next  year 
holding  two  separate  expositions,  one  for 
breeding  classes  of  pure  bred  stock  to  be 
held  immediately  at  the  close  of  the  State 
Fair  circuit,  the  other 
the  various 
classes  of fat  animals  to  be  held  during  the 
first  week  in  December  Doubtless 
this 
would  in  the  end  prove  advantageous  since 
it  is  unwise  to  carry  breeding  herds  and 
flocks  in  high  show  condition  so  late  in  the 
season. 

for 

Aside  from  the  exposition  proper  there 
were  many  features  of interest  to  the  stock 
men  during  the  week  of  the  show.  The 
great  National  Live  Stock  Association,  rep 
resenting  more  federated  interests  than  any 
other  association  in  the  country,  held  its 
sessions  down  town  in  Studebaker's  Hall. 
The  various  national  breeders'  associations 
held  their  annual  meetings  during 
the 
various  days  of the  show  week.  Any  or  all 
of  these  would  have  been  in  themselves, 
worthy  of a  special  trip  to Chicago, but  the 
man  who  was  there  to  do  the  big  show  had 
no  time  for  such  side  issues.  We  saw  the 
show  from  the  opening  to  its  close  and  had 
to  leave  them  with  but  a  very  imperfect 
knowledge  of  many  of the  departments. 

The  formal  opening  took  place  on  the 
evening  of  Monday,  Dec.  2d,  Secretary 
Wilson  and  Gov.  Yates,  of  Illinois,  with 
General  Manager  Skinner,  performing  the 
ceremonies,  after  the  visitors  had  been  wel 
comed 
to  the  city  by  Carter  Harrison, 
mayor of Chicago.  Many of Chicago's  lead 
ing  society  people  were  there  to  grace  the 
occasion.  _ Our  own  Governor  Bliss  was 
there  later  in  the  day  and  in  a  neat  and 
pithy  speech  assured 
interest 
and  support  of the  Wolverine  State. 

the  hearty 

Wednesday,  the  big  day  of  the  show, 
there  was  an  estimated  attendance  of 75,000 
people. 

One  of  the  chief  features  of  interest  was 
the|student  judging  contest  which  was  held 
on  Monday  and  Tuesday.  Wisconsin,  Illi 
nois,  Iowa,  Ontario,  Indiana,  Ohio,  North 
Dakota  and  Michigan  were  all  represented. 
Nineteen  classes  of stock  were  judged,  viz., 
two  classes of Shorthorns, two  of  Herefords, 
tw >  of Angus,  two  of  Fat  Cattle,  and  one of 
""Red  Polls;  one  each  of  Cot-wolds,  Shrop-
shires,  fat  sheep,  fat  hogs,  bacon  hogs,  and 
market  horses;  two  of  Poland  Chinas,  and 
two  of Clydesdales.  Each  class  was  judged 
by  a  special  judge  after  the  students  had 
their  written  placing.  These 
turned 

in 

papers  were 
then  marked  by  Professor 
Grisdale  of  Ottawa,  Canada.  The  points 
used  as  a  basis  for  grading  the  students 
were  as  follows:  1st,  the  placing  of  ani 
mals,  50;  2d,  reasons,  40;  3d,  method,  5? 
4th,  time,  5. 

The  final  summing  up  showed  the  follow 
ing  results: 
Iowa,  3,756  points.  Spoor 
trophy,  and  $318;  Guelph,  3510  points  and 
$96;  Illinois,  3,488^  points  and  $116; Mich 
igan,  3,326^  points  and  $53;  Wisconsin, 
3,320  5-6  points  and  $5;  Indiana,  3,312  5-6 
points  and  $77; North  Dakota,  28257s points 
(From  Drovers  Journal,  Dec.  7.) 
and  $40. 

M.  A.  C.  winners  were  L.  F.  Bird,  second 
on  Hereford  cattle,  $25;  Lyman  Carrier, 
fourth  on  Angus  cattle.  $15;  VV.  J.  Geib, 
fourth  on  Shropshire  sheep,  $3-  This  still 
leaves  Sio  to  be  accounted  for  as  we  have 
the 
not  yet  received  any  statement  from 
former  secretary.  We  have  no excuses  to 
make  for  our  team,  since  we  consider  they 
made  a  good  showing  under  very  unfavor 
able  circumstances.  Some  of  the  other  in 
stitutions 
time  and 
money  in  visiting  herds  and  flocks  in  the 
different  states.  From  lack  of  funds,  our 
team's  excursions  were  limited  to one  short 
trip.  Men  cannot  become  expert  judges  in 
eight  or  ten  weeks'  time,  and  certainly  not 
without  long  and  intimate  contact  with  the 
various  types  of the  different  classes  of  pure 
bred  stock  which  they  are  called  upon  to 
judge. 
In  this  respect  all  of  the  states  win 
ning  over  us have  very  decided  advantages. 

considerable 

spent 

With  our  entries  of  live  stock  we  had 
very  gratifying  success.  We  entered  in  the 
Shorthorn  sale  two  calves.  College  Mysie 
5th's  Sharon,  it  months  old,  sold  for $330; 
the  heifer  calf College  Sharon  2d,  13 months 
old,  brought  S410. 

The  big  Shorthorn  steer,  Jack,  was  the 
largest  steer  at  the  show,  weighing  2245 
pounds.  He  won  th:-d  £>)ace-.:rj the  SI 
horn  Association  special.  Elm  Park  Lad,  a 
two-year-old  Angus steer,  won  second  in  his 
class  alive,  and  with  it  second  money  in  the 
Angus  Association  special.  College  Tops-
man,  a  pure  bred  Galloway  yearling  steer, 
used  in  student  feeding  experiments,  won 
second  in  the open  class  lor  Galloways.  Our 
Cotswold  wether  won  second  place  in  the 
yearling  Cotswold  class.  In  the  open  classes 
for  swine  we  won  first  on  pen  of  light  bar 
rows  over  two  hundred  and  under  two  hun 
dred  and  fifty  pounds,  and  third  on  pen  of 
heavy  barrows  over  two  fifty  and  under 
the 
three  hundred  and  fifty  pounds. 
College  class,  our  entry  won  second  on 
single  barrows. 

In 

It  was  in  the  beef  carcass  competitions 
that  M. A. C. proved  the dark  horse  not  only 
for  the  other  Agricultural  Colleges  arid  Sta 
tions,  but  for  the  crack  breeders  and  feeders 
of  the  entire  country. 
In  the  two-year  old 
carcass  class,  our  pure  bred  Angus  steer 
won  first  over  all  breeds  and  grades,  at  the 
same  time  capturing  the  Aberdeen  Angus 
Breeder's  Association  Special  premium. 
In 
the  yearling  class,  our  pure  bred  Galloway, 
College  Topsman,  was  second.  These  two 
victories  would  surely  be  enough  to  satisfy 
the  most  exacting  stock  man  in the  country, 
but  this  time  M.  A.  C.  was  in  the  final  run 
ning. 

T HE  GRAND  CHAMPIONSHIP. 

Next  to  the  Grand  Championship  on  foot, 
interest  awaited  the  decision  of  the  judges 
in  the  championship  for  dressed  carcass. 
This  was  open  to  all  breeds  and  crosses  and 
all winners in both yearling and  two-year-old 
classes.  For  this much  coveted  honor  there 
were  50 entries,  but  in  spite  of  numbers  M. 
A. C. won  the  blue  and  gold  ribbon.  This 
meant  a  defeat  for  Woods  Principal,  the 
hitherto  unbeaten  steer,  which  won 
the 
grand  championship  on  foot  and  sold  alive 
for  50 cents  a  pound.  Out  of seven  possible 
prizes  in  this  competition,  M.  A.  C.  cap 
tured  three,  being  the  only  state  institution 
in  the  country  to  be  inside  the  money.  All 
of the  leading  live stock  departments  of  the 
western  colleges  were  in  the  contest. 

KLM  PARK  LAD. 

The  champion  was a  registered  Aberdeen 
Angus  steer,  calved  March  18th,  1899.  His 
lbs.; 
live  weight 
dressed  weight,  1,023  lbs.;  per  cent,  beef, 
63.15;  per  cent,  fat,  8.77;  per  cent,  hide, 
5.19. 

in  Chicago  was  1,620 

With  both  our  winners  we  had  carefully 
ivoided  anything  like  over  fitting,  realizing 
that  the  highly  fitted  steer  stands  a  poor 
chance  in  a  slaughter  test.  Mr.  White,  who 
olaced  the  awards,  spoke  thus  of  our  steer: 
"  Elm  Park  Lad  showed  a  carcass  of  ideal 
smoothness;  there  was  nothing  like  a  patch 
or  roll  from  neck  to  hocks.  There  was  no 
surplus  kidney  fat,  while  the  rib  cut  showed 
•1 beautiful  marbling  of  fat  and 
lean,  the 
eye  being  exceptionally  firm  and  regular."

The  Tramp's  Story. 

[An  original  story  read  before  the  Union 
Literary  Society  Dec.  7,  1901.] 

Two  years  ago  I  spent  the  greater  part of 
my  summer  vacation  in  the  upper  peninsula 
of  Michigan,  and  during  my  stay  in 
that 
wild  region,  came  in  contact  with  a  great 
many  interesting  characters,  ranging  from 
the  backwoods  parson  to  the  toughest  kind 
It  is  the  story  told  me  by  one  of 
of hobo. 
the  latter  class  that  I  will now  endeavor  to 
repeat. 
I  first  saw  him  sitting  on  a  log  by 
the  roadside,  and,  as  I  was  passing,  he 
asked  me  for  a  match.  While  he was  light 
ing  his  short  clay  pipe^J  could  not  help  no 
ticing  that  beneath 
the  stubby,  unkempt 
beard  and  dust  with  which  his  face  was 
covered,  there  was  that  indescribable  some 
thing  belonging  to  the  better  class  of  men, 
which  signified  that  he had  seen better  days, 

and  I  asked  him  how  he  came  to  choose  his 
present  vocation.  As  I  put  the  question  to 
him,  there  came  into  his  eyes  a  sad,  far 
away  expression,  and  it  was  several  mo 
ments  before  he  replied. 

'90's  came.  Then 

"  Well,  boss,"  he  said,  "  you  may  not  be 
lieve  me,  but  what  I  tell  you  is  true as  gos 
pel  Ten  years  ago  I  was  foreman 
in  the 
Concord  Steel  Works,  and  met  Mary.  My 
sweet-faced  young  wife,  and  my  bouncing 
two-year-old  boy,  lived  in  a  neat  little cot 
tage  in  the  outskirts  of  town  on  the  river 
bank  just  above  the  falls.  We were  all  in 
alt  to  each  other,  and  the  happiest 
little 
family  in  the  world,  until  the  great  financial 
panic  of  the  early 
the 
trouble  began.  First  came  a  cut  in  wages, 
then  another,  and  finally  the  works  shut 
down.  The company  did  all  in  its  power  to 
give  us  employment,  but  every  day  that  the 
works  ran.meant  a loss  of  thousands  of  dol 
lars  to  it,  so it  was  forced  to  close  its  doors. 
"At  first  I  was  not  greatly  alarmed,  for  I 
had  a snug  little  bank  account  and  thought 
the  hard  times  would  soon  be  over.  But  as 
the  days  grew  into  weeks,  the  weeks  into 
months,  and  the  months  began  to  approach 
the  year  mark,  things  began  to  take  on  a 
gloomy  aspect. 
I  had  tramped  the  country 
over  in  search  of  work,  but  all  in  vain. 
Every  day  saw  more  and  more  hungry  men 
turned  out  into  the  world  without  means  to 
earn  a crust  of bread.  Our  little  supply  of 
cash  was  soon  exhausted  and  then  we began 
to  know  what  it  was  to  suffer 
the  pangs 
of  hunger.  For  some  time  we  existed  on 
the  proceeds  of  a  few  treasured 
trinkets 
which  found  their  way  to  the  pawn  shop. 
Mister,  it  would  be  impossible  to  describe 
-the  misery  of  those  days, 
I saw  my  wife 
and  child  grow  thinner  and  thinner  until 
they  were  mere  skeletons,  but  I  was  power 
less  to  relieve  their  sufferings. 

"One  night  when  the  last  crust  of  bread 
had  been  eaten  and  everything  that  would 
bring  a  cent,  pawned,  I  received  a  notice 
from  my  life 
insurance  company,  saying 
that  my  yearly  assessment  was  overdue  and 
unless  paid  within  one  week  my  pol 
icy  would  be  annulled. 
I  was  nearly  daft 
with  misery  that  night  and  I think this  news 
must  have  driven  me  temporarily 
insane, 
for  I  cursed  my  Creator  and  everything 
in  heaven  and  on  earth;  then  snatching 
up  my  coat  and  hat  ran  out  into  the  dark 
ness.  The  next  I  remember  I  awoke  in 
a  hospital  and  saw  a  white  capped  nurse 
bending  over  me. 
I  attempted  to  ask  her 
what  had  happened  but  she  motioned  me 
to  remain  quiet,  saying  that  I  had  been 
very  ill  for  a  week  and  must  not  talk.  The 
next  day  she  told  me  that 
I  had  been 
picked  up  near  the  railroad,  a  week  pre 
vious,  and  brought  to  the  hospital  more 
dead  than  alive.  Well,  I  lay  in  that  little 
cot  a  week  and  during  that  time  learned 
that  I  was  in  a  town  sixty  miles  from  home. 
How  I  came  there,  God  only  knows,  for  I 
could 
that  happened 
after  I  ran  out  of the  house  with  my  coat  on 
my  arm 

remember  nothing 

like 

this: 

' The  mystery  surrounding 

"I  left  the  hospital  as  soon  as possible  and 
started  in 
the  direction  of  home.  As  I 
passed  down  the  street  my  eye  caught  sight 
of  my  own  name  in  the  headlines  of  a  dis 
carded  newspaper,  and  picking  it  up  I  read 
'  Howard's  Body 
something 
Found.' 
the 
disappearance  of  John  Howard  of  Concord 
has  been  cleared  up  at  last.  At  the  time  of 
his  disappearance,  his  hat  and  coat  were 
found  on  the  bank  of  the  river  just  above 
Concord  Falls,  ind  it  was  thought  then  that 
he  had  drowned  himself.  Yesterday  his 
body  came  ashore  a  mile  below  the  town, 
but  was  so  mutilated  by  coming  in  contact 
with  the  jagged  rocks  below  the  falls  that 
his  features  were  entirely  obliterated.  Ow 
ing  to the  fact  that  no  other  disappearance 
has  occurred,  there  is  no  doubt  but  what 
the  body  is  that  of  the  missing  Howard. 
The  deceased  carried  a  life  insurance  of 
$5,000  and  his  widow  was  this  afternoon 
handed  a check  for  that  amount  by the  com 
pany's  agent.' 

"After  reading  that,  I  was  so dazed  that  it 
was  several  moments  before  I  could  grasp 
the  situation,  but  I  did  so  finally  and  then 
came  the  struggle  of  my  life.  Should  I  go 
away,  cutting  myself  off  from  all  I  held 
dear  in  this  world,  that  my  loved  ones 
might  live  in  comparative  ease  ?  Or  should 

thus  deprive  them  of  that 
I  return  and 
which  fate  had  thrust  upon  them, the  means 
of supplying  the  necessaries  of  life  which  I 
was  totally  unable  to provide?  Oh,  mister, 
it  was  a  terrible  position  for  a  poor,  weak, 
selfish  man  to  be  put  in,  and  I  hope  I  did 
right  when  I  chose  to  be  dead  to the  world 
and  turned  my  back  on  my home  and  loved 
ones.  For  some 
about 
trying  to  get  work  and  earn  an  honest  liv 
ing,  but  in  time  I became  an  ordinary  hobo 
and  even  got  low  enough  to  steal. 

time  I  tramped 

"Five  years  ago  I passed through  Concord 
and  something  directed  my  stumbling  foot 
steps  to  the  little  vine-covered  cottage  that 
had  once  been  my  home. 
I  went  in  to  beg 
a  bite  to eat.  The  sweet  faced  woman  who 
the 
came  to  the  door  little  dreamed  that 
filthy  wretch  who  nearly  fainted  at  sight  of 
her  was  once  her  husband  and  the  father  of 
her  boy.  She  brought  me  out  a  lunch  and 
as  I  sat  on  the  steps  munching  it  I  could 
see,  through  the  open  door,  my own  portrait 
hanging  on  the  wall  of the  little  parlor. 

says  he's  gone 

"Soon  the  boy,  my son,  came  out  and  sat 
down  to  entertain  me  with  his  boyish  talk. 
I  asked  him  whose  picture  it  was  that  hung 
'Oh  that's  papa,'  he  said. 
on  the  wall. 
'Papa  went  away  long  time  ago  and  never 
came  back.  Mama 
to 
heaven,  and  when  she  thinks  I  am  asleep, 
she  cries,  and  cries;  and  asks  God  to  bless 
papa  and  take  her  to  him  sometime.  And 
every  night  when  I  say  "Now  I  lay  me," 
she  has  me  ask  God  to  bless  papa.'  My 
God,  mister,  you  can't  imagine  how  it  made 
me  feel  to  hear  that  little  fellow  go  on  talk 
ing  like  that.  How  I  longed  to  take  him  in 
my  arms  and  say,  'I'm  your  papa,  my  darl 
ing.'  But  it  wouldn't  do,  so  I  passed  on. 

"Since  then  I  have  tried  to  be  an  honest 
tramp  and  not  steal  any  more,  but  it  don't 
seem  to  do  much  good  for  I'm  down  and 
everybody  tries  to  keep  me  down." 

He  paused  for  a  moment  and  when  he 
spoke  again  there  was  a  quiver  in  his  voice 
that  was  pitiful  to  hear.  "Say  mister"  he' 
said,  "Do  you  suppose  if  I  were  to  brace  up 
and  get  a  new  start,  they  would  come  to  me 
"My  friend,  its  certainly  worth 
again?" 
trying,"  I  replied;  "and  if  I  were  you  I  be 
lieve  I  would  do  it." 

A  new  light  came  into  his  eyes  and  his 
face  took  on  a  look of determination. 
"God 
bless  vou  mister,  I'll  do  it," he said,  "I'll  do 
it."  And  as  he  grasped  my  hand  in  his, 
two  large  tears  rolled  down  his  face  leaving 
two little streaks of white where they  washed 
away  the  dust  from  his  sooty  cheek.

this  year  but 
for 
the  past  ten  years,  giving  com 
parisons  with  each  year.

at  about  23  millions  barrels,  an

people. 
In 
regard 
Gunson  gave  us 
the  grape,  lemon  and  orange 
ing 
crops,  leaving  the  smaller  fruits 
to 
be  brought  up  at  some  other  time. 
Mr.  Gunson  brought  out  the  fact 
that  the  horticulturist  is  at  sea  as  far 
as  knowing  anything  about  what 
the  results  of  the  horticultural  crop 
the  State  are,  and 
for  the  year  in 
he 
some  statistics 
that 
suggested 
should  be  made,  so  that  the  crop 
could  be  estimated,  and 
the 
markets  could  be 
in  some  degree 
controled.

After  Mr.  Gunson's 

the 
usual  routine  business  took  place,  in 
which  all  the  charter  members  of 
the  club  signed  the  constitution  and 
by-laws.  As 
the 
second  meeting  of  the  club,  we  all 
felt  enthused  over  its  results.  W i th 
a  start  such  as  we  have,  a  promis

is  before  us,  in  solving

T he  best  Christmas  gift  we,  as

those 
who  are  so  deeply  interested  in  us, 
is  a  pure,  noble  life—one  in  which 
there  is  charity  and  kindness  for  all. 
Therefore  at  this,  the  most

time  of  all  the  year,  let  us  go  back 
to  our  friends  and  loved  ones  better
