that may develop into proper show
form This is especially true of grow
ing animals, for one cannot tell with
certainty how they may develop with
age.
Live stock intended for shows should
be fed a well balanced ration over a
sufficiently long period to make them
fat and sleek at show times. This Is
called ''bloom" in the show ring. Many
Of the most fancy animals are kept In
roomy box stalls during the day in
the warm weather, but are turned out
at night for exercise and some grass.
A pasture field consisting Of mixed al
falfa and Bermuda grass would be
splendid for this purpose Nothing IS
better than oats for any kind OF live
stock, and q mixture of oats, corn and
barley in equal proportions should
prove satisfactory. This should be
ground finely and the animals fed three
times a day. Roughage may consist
OF alfalfa hay, silage, Sudan grass
and other folders. One of the secrets
OF making ''bloom" on animals is to
give them a great variety Of feed as
possible, and feed them often. Most
Of the winning animals at the best
fairs are fed four or five times day.

SELECT BEST STOCK
FOR SHOW AT FAIRS
Best Way to Keep Up-to-Date in
Business and Effect Improve
ment in Farm Animals.

CBy DR. r. H WILLIAMS. Arizona Ex-
pertinent Station-)
It is important that every breeder
OF improved stock show his animals
at both county and state fairs. Al
though the expense OF showing may
be considerable, yet this is the best
way to keep up-tO-date In business,
to effect Improvement, and also adj
vertise your animals The show ring
is the years measure which is used
TO compare Che relative merits OF the
animals owned by the different breed
ers.
One requires several years OF ex-
perience to enable him to select the
best animals in his herd for the show
ing. Commence as early as August
to prepare for the state fair which
comes in November. Select the best
animals you have, and if there is any
question about this choice it is al
ways wise to include all the animals

HORSES PREPARED FOR SHOW
Some Extra Care and Attention Need
ed for Draft Administered Brood
Mares Some Grain.

Draft horses that are to be shown
at the county fairs need some extra
care and attention. To show at an
advantage horses should be in good
condition, well hammered and well
grOOmed. Brood mares and young
horses on pasture should be fed some
grain for a considerable time before
they are shown. The amount OF grain
will depend on the condition of the
animal and also on the pasture. Equal
parts of corn and oats have been found
to be a good mixture to feed. Stall
lions and work horses that are to be
shown should be fed enough grain and
hay to put them in good condition. A
little grass or green feed of some kind
Is useful as a conditioner and as an
appetizer.
Draft horses are shown at halter e0-
cept in the case of draft pairs. 1t is
good form to show mares and young
horses with rope halters. Halters
made from half-inch rope are prefer
able except for foals when ha1ters
made from three-eighths inch rope are
more in keeping with the size Of the
animal. Draft stations are shown
with heavy brides. Horses should be

STANDARD FOR EGGS
When WeiI-EstabIIshed Produee Of
FIrst-cIass, Fresh Article VIII
Bring Highest PrieA.

BY c. 8. ANDERSON, Colorado AEr1cuI-
tursl College. Fort Collins)
The day Of Standardization In the
egg market Is here. When eggs sold
for a cent apiece. the claim @an egg
is an egg" was accepted With our
present increased prices, the con-
sumner naturally Is asking for great
er quality and higher Standardization
in the products he buys.
A number OF our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per dozen. They
must stand a Gambling test, be clean.
uniform In size, shape and color OF
shell.
When rigid standards are wei es-
tablished the producer OF hrst-cIass

PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods OF Caring for Eggs
and Proper Packing Would Reduce
Needless Loss

Losses in eggs during the summer
months fall directly upon the farmers.
Dealers know that en- average Of 10 to
Is per cent OF eggs marketed during
the summer is either a total or q par
tial loss; hence prices, they say, are
based upon good eggs only.
Better methods Of caring for the
eggs and better packing before they
are shipped would reduce this unnec-
eSSary loss.
A few definite rules for the pre-
yentiOn OF loss in summer eggs are
formulated by the poultry division at
the Pennsylvania State college: I'D
Produce sterile or infertile eggs CD
Keep eggs In a cool, dry place. 90
Have clean nests and plenty OF them
ca Do not keep the eggs near kerosene
or decaying vegetables They absorb
Odors readily. go Market the eggs fire
Quently. Holding does not improve
quality.

taught to stand and to lead before
they are brought into the ring. Most
horses show to good advantage when
stretched slightly. It is advisable to
exercise all horses to be shown for
considerable time before the show,
both at the walk and at the trot Find
a level strip of road and let the ami
NAL walk and trot back and forth over
a space of 100 feet for 10 or Is min
utes each day so that he may know
what is expected Of him when shown.
Always stand a horse with his front
feet on slightly higher ground than
his hind feet.

MILLIONS OF EGGS
SPOILED NEEDLESSLY
StorekeepeFs and Hucksters
Urged Not to Buy Washed
Eggs for Storage Purposes.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Approximately 5,O16,OO0 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year IA cold
storage simply because some one has
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them to mar
ket, according to the specialists OF the
United States department OF agrcul-
ture- Careful investigations OF large
quantities Of stored eggs show that
from IL to % per cent Of washed eggs
become worthless In storage. whereas
only 4 to per cent OF dirty eggs
stored unwashed spoil. The explana-
tion IS simple. Water removes from
the shell Of the egg a gelatinous cover
ing which helps to keep air and germs
out Of the inside Of the egg. Once this
covering Is removed by washing or
rain which gets TO eggs in the nest,
germs and molds find ready access to
the contents and spoil the eggs.
This enormous loss In storage eggs
largely can be prevented If producers
and egg handlers, especially during
March, April and May, VIII refrain
from washing eggs destined for the
storage markets and take pa.as TO re-
duce the number OF dirty eggs by pro-
ytding plenty Of clean, sheltered nests
for their hens.
Millions OF eggs spoil in storage be-
cause they have been exposed to dew,
rain, dirt, and sun In stolen nests In
the grass or fence corners.
In view OF this great loss OF valuable
food, the department urges country
stOrekeepers and hueksters not to &C
cept washed eggs for shipment in case
lots. Shiny eggs. especially in the
early spring. probably have been
washed All washed eggs purchased
should be sold locally for immediate
consumption

Of highways under efficient super
