PREPARING STOCK FOR SHOW
Much Of Improvement in Breeding IL
Made Possible by Comparing
Animals in Ring.

| prepared by the United States Department
| of Agricultural
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 ut 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
| the United States Department of Agri-
culture, has been due to the COMPARE
sons made possible by bringing ami
| mails together in competition. Not only
do the breeders who compete reap
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
feriority Of the stock on his farm.
A good illustration Of the value of
state fair as livestock improver
comes from state in the Middle
West. A bill providing for the apprO-
priation of $4,000 to build a hog barn
on the state fair grounds was up be-
fore the legislature where it was en-
cOuntering 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-town
banker who had never made a speech
before, got the floor and in a few
words convinced his hearers that the
$4,000 would be well spent. He told
In his bank with the idea of finding
out which were breeders of purebred
stock and how they stood in compari-
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 IA,
and he found that almost without eX-
ceptiOn they gave the state fair or
some other fair credit for having
and the right type for the market.
There are farmers who find it next
to impossible to pick 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 medi-
OGRE one they will pick an ordinary

"Gooding Had Eight Thousand Sheep"

GoodIng had eight thousand sheep,
Their fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Gooding went
The sheep were sure to CO.
They followed him by night and day,
Which was against the rule.
They filled the statesman with dismay,
Tossed high the wool schedule.
And when the people found it out
Their rage began a-waXing;
They knew the presence of those sheep
Meant heavy tariff taxing.
But if the wool on Gooding's sheep,
To make cloth for those who wear 1t,
Won't grow unless we tax our folks,
Then they must grin and bear it

WAY TO AVOID LEAKY TEATS
Good Plan to Apply coIIodion After
Each MiIking-This Closes Up
the Opening.

The only way to prevent leaky teats
is to smear collodion on the end of
the teat after each milking. This
closes up the opening and before the
next milking it must be removed. This
is bothersome but may be used to good
advantage where the COW loses a guam

electrical Wizard" on Power of Radio

cal Wizard" In the electrical world
he enjoys international reputation.
Probably he is almost as well known
as Edison and Marconi He is greatly
interested at present in the possibility
of radio power transmission. He says:
'In some respects radio power
transmission exists today, for the
message which you receive by radio
has been carried by the power of the
electromagnetic wave from the send
ing to the receiving station. How
ever, while the sending station sends
out electromagnetic waves of some
times hundreds of kilowatts, this
power scatters in all directions, and
often less than a millionth of it is
received. But this small power is
sufficient. when amplified, to give us
the message.

men that good shade with an abun-

economical gains, whereas lack of
shade or shortage OF water or stag.

the lioretgraph enables one to make ac-
curate tracings upon parchment rec

When vowel sound is uttered the
room becomes full of vibrations, and
each different sound gives vibrations
OF different shape. In the presence
of the lioretgraph u person saying
"Ah" would record upon paper n

wings are so short they cannot fly.
but they use them as fiappers TO help
them hurry along over the snow. Their
strong legs are far back on the body
and are so placed that the bird stands

Penguins are fond of games, a fav-

into the water. They dive deep and
swim under water, sometimes coming
TO the surface more than so feet from
shore.
Another sport of the penguins Is
snow slide. They pick out a nice billy

then pack the snow very hard by
throwing themselves on 1t. Then they
go to the top of the slide and one

best of his talent and skill.
The beauty of old copper is its
color. These rare old pieces when
FURNISHED have a richness of fiery
glow like a flaming winter sunset.
There is also something about them
that suggests the splendor of the
