Good Constitution rlrs, essential in
Good Live Stock.-This Animal.

Champion Beef Steer, Exemplifies
Good Constitution.
pure bred stock, utility must ever be
the watchword. To the sound, level
headed, successful man the useful
animal is beautiful animal. The
ideal animal possesses all the utility
points and in addition has the style,
carriage, color markings, ETC., which
are attractive to the eye.
Each and every class of livestock
has been improved and developed for
some special purpose. We must first
of all study the purpose and then see
if the animal fills the bill. In the
judging of all meat-producing ami
mails too much attention cannot be
given to the question of market de-
mands. If the animal does not meet
the market demands, it is more or
less of a misfit. The same is true
of the horse, the dairy COW and the
wool producing sheep. Each and
every one of these must fill the de-
mand for which it has been developed.
One of the first essentials to, be
considered, from the producers
standpoint. in the judging of any
class of live stock, is constitution. In
the past too little attention has been
given to this all important point.
Some of the indications of strong
constitution are width and depth Of
chest, large muzzle, large mouth and
large nostrils. On the other hand, a
narrow chest lacking depth ard as
sociated with small mouth, nuzzle
and nostrils, is an unmistakable in
dication of weak constitution. With
out a strong constitution, no animal
can be expected to give good returns
in the feed lots, in the dairy herd or
at the ordinary farm labor or city
hauling,

In judging live stock it is obsolutly
necessary to have certain clear cut
and we'll defined ideals of animal form
in mind. The man who does not know
what constitutes the right type Of
animal, will not make much Of a
success in stock judging work. In
addition to knowing what to look for,
the man must possess, in a marked
degree, the faculties for observation
and judgment. He must see the
animal as it really is. Some men do
not see the things which the animal
possesses. Other men, of an imagi-
native turn of mind, see things in the
animal which are not there. Either
fault is serious one in the judging
of domestic animals. While fancy
points should receive some consld-
