PREPARING STOCK FOR SHOW
Much Of improvement in Breeding 10
Made Possible by Comparing
Animals in Ring.

! prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuture.)
There are many OF the elements OF
sport in preparing live stock for the
show ring and In competing With other
breeders for prizes, and showing AMI
mails at fairs and expositions Is no
mere fad, although there are still some
people who seem to think so. Much
of the Improvement In the various
breeds Of animals In this country, says
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, has been due TO the comparl-
sons made possible by bringing ami
mails together In competition. Not only
do the breeders who compete reap a
benefit, but also every farmer and
breeder who attends the show as a
spectator. Many man marks the be-
ginning OF his success from the time
of some livestock show where he was
brought to a realization Of the In
ferlority OF, the stock on his farm. Z,
good illustration of the value Of
a state fair as a livestock lmproveI
comes from a state in the Middle
West. A bill providing for the appro-
prlatlon Of $4,000 to build hog barn
on the state fair grounds was up be
fore the legislature where it was en-
counterlng much opposition because
OF the comparatively large expendi-
ture planned and the short time the
building would be used each year
Finally, one legislator a small-towD,
banker who had never made q speech
before, got the floor and In few
words convinced his hearers that, the
$4,000 would be well spent. He told
of having studied the list of depositors
In his bank with the idea of finding
out which were breeders of purebred
stock and how they stood in COMPARE
son with the others. He found that II
of them were breeders of purebred
hogs and all Of them were prosperous,
far above the average Then this
banker went to see each one of the ii,
and be found that almost without ex-
ception they gave the state fair or
some other fair credit for having
taught them the value of better blood
and the right type for the market.
There are farmers who find ii next
to impossible to pick a real good ami
NAL unless they have the opportunity
to make comparisons. They may be
able to pick the best animal In herd,
but If the herd happens to be medl-
OGRE one they viii pick an ordinary

Farm. 1t should be light, but it must
be safe. 1t is easy for the picker to
break leg If the ladder should
break.
The stringers should be made of
straightforward wood that does not
split easily. Eastwood or spruce meet
the requirements about as well as
anything. but there are varieties of
pine that make good ladders.
The rungs should be of hickory, oak,
swamp elm or some similar timber
that will not break off short without
splintering. If ladder round sllvers
or spinters II won't break down sud-
denly
The stringers of this ladder need
not be heavier than 7s by 3 inches,
tapered to two inches ut the top. pro-
vided that the wood is tough and
straight grained.
To make fancy ladder both the
sfringers and the legs should be
tapered.

BEST HARVESTING OF FRUIT
Save Winter SpoiIage--Sweatng
Hastens Ripenlng.

Proper harvesting is the most i'm
portant factor in preserving the keep
Ing qualities of storage fruit. Pick
Ing when unripe or allowing to hang
too long are equally wrong. The
seeds should be black and the stem
should separate easily from the spur
before picking Is commenced If the
color is subnormal, it is sometimes
policy to LEI the fruit hang for few
days, since hack of color is as damag.
ing as some over-ripeness.
Careful handling is essential
Bruises either rot or dry out in stor-
age injuring the fruit in either case
Picking should be done in burlap-lined
baskets, or bags, and the fruit should
he handled as little as possible be-
tween the tree and the storage pack
age. II picking is done in bags, not
should be allowed to accumulate at a
time, as 1t is impossible to handle a
fuller bag without bruising the fruit
on the ladder and limbs.
All sharp edges On crates, chutes or
grading machines should be ground
off so as not to cut the fruit. Wher-
ever the apples move rapidly or fall.
padding should be provided
Fruit should be moved from the
tree to the storage as quickly as pos
sible. The keeping quality is much
shortened If fruit Is allowed 10 stand
n the orchard or shed after picking.
The old policy of sweating fruit In |
)iles under the tree has no scientific
except as a means Of
opening fruit quickly.

TERM STANDARD BRED FOWLS
Means That Bird Referred to Con.
forms to Standards of Color,
Markings and Weight

A purebred, whether it Is hen or
a cow means that the animal comes
from definitely recognized breed and
that the parents were purebred animals
Of the same breed. If an animal has
lineage Of pure breeding, which can
be definitely proved, and thus makes
the animal eligible for registration, II
IS then a purebred animal. There Is
the added stipulation that an animal
must be healthy, vigorous and a cred
table specimen Of its breed in order
to be purebred.
In reference to poultry breeding
perhaps the best terms of all to ind1-
cate 100 per cent blood Is the express
sion standardized" This means
that the fowl referred to as standard
bred is one which conforms to the
standards of form, color, markings,
weight, etc, for the various breeds
under the standard of perfection of
the American Poultry association
STANDARDIZED is a term which Is
growing in popularity among those do
ing business in the purebred poultry
field, and is perhaps a more distinc-
tive expression than any other which
might be used with reference to poul-
try. OF course, there are Standard |
bred horses which refer to a distinct
breed of light horses, including both
trotters and PAGERS eligible to regis
tration in the trotting registry.

Bells Made of Porcelain.

In a few weeks the cathedral of
Metz Will possess the famous chimes
of GO porcelain bells of which so much
has been said. 1t is said that the
tone of these bells leaves nothing to
be desired. AS to their solidity, they
seem to- be of the first order.
Until now no such use has been
made of porcelain, fact which will
make Of the chimes of Metz an I'M
equaled curiosity. 1t is recalled,
however, that at Missen, where the

to 1863, there is house constructed
