LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Fitting Stock for Show
Requires Careful Work

Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation OF an animal to appear at
Its best. With the meat-producing
animals, fattenlng is the most i'm.
portant part OF fitting, but the fns
must be firmly and evenly laid on
This holds true with breeding animuls
MS well as market stock. While the
breeding animal may never go directly
to the block its value depends on its
ultimate ability to produce meat stock
II cannot demonstrate this ability in
thin condition. The judge has to
make his award on the animal us IL
appears before him, not on what n
might be like If given a fair chance.
The failures of new exhibitors are
mainly luz to poor fitting and show
ing. Most Judges prefer to encourage
new exhibitors where possible. nno
generally regret to turn down good
possibilities for lack of condition
Getting an animal fat enough ~
only part of the problem. L IS u
greater problem to get 1t at its best as
just the right time. After show cattle
have reached their prime, their flesh
may get hard or too soft and bfub-
berry. Sheep may be so highly fitted
that they are practically ruined for
breeding purposes. Ideal condition or
"blOom" is reached when the covering
of fat Is evenly distributed over the
body and is springy, but firm ana
smooth. Rolls or Jumps OF fat h n
appear on the ribs or around the tail
head are Objectionable, but are III
times hard to avoid. Where animals
are to be carried in show condition
over a fair season lasting five or six
months, they are started in compara-
lively light condition, both on account
Of the warm weather and the danger
of OVERRIDING them later.

Insects Attack Apples
While Held in Storage

With more attention being paid to
the grading of apples, anything which
contributes to the deterioration of the
fruit after packing or in storage will
be Of considerable interest to fruit
growers. Observations made ut
Geneva n elsewhere show thai late
summer insects sometimes escape the
notice OF the packer and are put In
storage, where later they may develop
and do much damage to the fruit.
The larvae, or worm form of leaf
rollers, bud moth and c~ase-bearers
have been found feeding on apples
piled In the orchard, while codling-
moth larvae, the lesser apple worm,
San Jose scale and apple maggots are
known to nave continued their feeding
and development in supposedly sound
fruit which had been placed in stor-

and apple niaggot confne their efforts

Boy Wins First Prize

When the leaders of the live stock
industry promoted the baby beet club
work among boys and girls, they did
not expect that within only II few
years these Juniors would be able to

of the dead-ripe pods to shatter. The

small acreages OF soy beans may be
economically handled with nm ordinary
grain binder, for then the sheaves can
be shocked like other grain and left
until they are fit to hull. The beans
may be colored up some from the

in which such men as we can take

II have complained against the
world that Jesus was killed by 1t soon
as people thought they knew what
He was teaching. And yet the self
same world has kept that teaching
in its mind, has talked of Him and
of His words for these 1000 years,
has thought of Him more than of any
