There are signs that the time Is not

former state commissioner Of fisheries
and present director of the public
aquarium in Paramount park, when
farmers will consider fish culture as
important part of their calling as
the raising of grain or potatoes or
poultry When that day arrives the
fish industry of Pennsylvania will rank
as high as any other industry. There
are few farms in Pennsylvania with.
out springs, a. stream and swampy
land of which no use is made and upon
which the farmer pays taxes without
any return. Most of the streams and
the springs and the swamp land could
be utilized for the rearing of fish. I'm

deney toward tying in" which is al
ways characteristic of an animal with
a poor heart girth.
The coupling, that is the distance
from the last rib to the hook" or hip
point (see Figure u should be short
In accordance with the general COM
pactness desired throughout The
steer should also be wide in this re
gion and well muscled, with no indica
ton of being sway backed. This is
the region of the loin from which valu.
able cuts are taken.
The rump of the steer Gas shown in
Figures ! and - should be long, wide.
and level. This is the region bounded
in front by the hooks or hip points
and extends backward to the tail head
and downward as far as the pin bones
on either side of the tail head. While
width at the hooks is desirable, too
much prominence is Objectionable.
Smoothness OF covering is the thing
most desired in the finished steer, ana
this is difficult to obtain when the
hooks are too prominent. "Patchiness''
or the assembling of fat In patches is
most common on animals with promi-
nence either at the hooks or at the
pin bones. The pin bones on the good
type are set wide apart and smoothly
covered A dropping rump is undesir-
able, but not more Objectionable than
one too prominent at the tail head. A.
prominent tail head, usually associ-
ated with prominence at the hooks
and at the pin bones, tends toward
patchiness, and generally goes with a
rump that is hard TO cover smoothly.
Twist" is generally used to refer
to the flesh between the thigh bones.
Thigh is used to refer to the flesh
on the outside Of the thigh bones.
(See Figure 80 Taken together they
constitute the quarters. Plumpness.
fullness, and thickness. with good
muscular development and flesh well
carried down both on the inside and
outside, constitute good thighs and
twist, and consequently good quarters
Guard against the steer with a poor
thigh and a high, seanty twist. for he
will not develop well fieshed quarters.
In the region of the flank, the steer
should be FIJI. and low, so as to make
the underline from the brisket to the
flank level and to complete the paral-
lelogramic form obtained from a side
view. (See Figure H.
Select steers with short legs, for
short legs decrease the amount of
offal and increase the killing per-
centage. Also, short legged animals
do not travel about much. They thus
save their energy and use their feed
for gain. A strong bone without
coarseness is to be desired Too much
refinement is associated with a weak
constitution.
Symmetry of outline, or balancing
of parts, is a very important point in
selecting steers. BY symmetry is
meant a general uniformity through
out with no part out of proportion
with any other part. Depth of chest
should be balanced by depth of twist,
and width of shoulders sbcdld be &C.
companied by width throughout.
