Extension Dairy Specialist State Col.
lege Of Washington in Northwest
Dairyman q Farmer.
THE time is rapidly approaching
L when livestock owners will be
taking their calves to the fall fairs.
The good exhibitor will see to 1t that
his calves are in condition and
trained to show off to the best advan-
tage.
Condition or good flesh Is the first
essential to success. Conditioning
should start early. 1t is impossible to
take a thin animal a week or two be-
fore the show and put 1t into show
shape. Feed your animal well through.
out the summer months so that it will
be in good flesh at show time. Flesh
is natures best smoother and fifty to
one hundred pounds of it will often
change comparatively rough indivi.
dual into fairly smooth one.
The second essential is well
trained animal. In order to success
fully train an animal the trainer must
have world of patience. and he must
possess untiring perseverance.
The first lesson in training is In
leading and stopping. This should be-
peated through several days until the
animal leads freely and stops on COM
mand. After this is thoroughly mas
tered the matter of posing can be
taken up. The pose at which an ami
NAL shows off to best advantage has
to be worked out for each individual.
AS rule, the animal should be shown
with the head up, its front feet nearly
on line and not too close together.
The position of the rear feet will vary
with the type of animal you are show
ing. They should be so placed that
the top line and rump show as nearly
straight and level as possible. Stretch
ing tends to help level up sloping
rump but is bad for back that has a
tendency to be swayed. The lesson in
posing should be repeated for several
days or until it is thoroughly mastered
by the animal.

A Double Worlds Champion

The third essential in making the
best showing possible is in the groom
ing and fitting or trimming that is
done. If one takes only a short time
to At. it may be necessary to clip the
animal all over in order to have It
show to best advantage. A short, nat
ural coat, however, is better than a
clipped coat. In order to secure the
desirable natural coat one must
blanket and groom daily for several
weeks or even months before the
show. This will work out the old hair
and keep the new coat short and soft.
Daily grooming and hand rubbing are
necessary to put the bloom on your
animal.
A week or 10 days before the show,
the head and tail, and sometimes the
legs and belly. should be clipped SO as
to bring out, more strongly, the re-
fnement Of the animal. The horns
should be rasped down then scraped
and sanded to make them smooth.
Just before the show they should be
polished using wooden rag and some
good polish. Sweet oil and powdered
pumice followed with sweet oil and
whiting will give an excellent shine.
In case the horns need training, that
will have to be done several weeks
before the show as 1t Is rather a slow
process. The hoofs should be scraped
and may be shined like the horns. If
desired.
An occasional bath with soap and
water is good to clean out all the old
scurf on the skin but If repeated too
frequently, it will tend to dry up the
natural secretions and make the skin
and hair feel harsh. The switch
should be washed out the night before
the show and braided into several
small tight braids. Just before show
ing, these are combed out giving the
switch fluffy, marcelled appearance.
1t is the duty of the Snowman to
show his animals to the very best ad-
vantage. While in the ring he should
have his entire attention on only two
things, his animal and the judge.

light, all of which are great factors
in making the soil easier to work.
The cost of growing green manure"
crops is insignificant compared to the
returns which according to one OF
our leading experiment stations was
estimated as being one to six. Six
dollars return for each dollar invested
on four to five-month investment
is certainly good return.
Gray vetch or peas sown with either
Rosen rye, sun wheat, or gray winter
oats make the best green manure
crops for Western Washington. The
rate of seeding need not be heavy;
40 pounds of vetch or SO pounds of
peas with about 80 pounds of grain
makes good crop and will produce
all the growth that a pillow will turn
under by planting time in the spring
# the seeding is done during the early
fall months.
These crops have another value in
that they can be used for feeding live
stock in case of emergency. Many
farmers practice pasturing for cou-
pie Of weeks just prior to blowing
them under in the spring when hay
is high in price and other pasture
scarce.
BY all means, get in the habit of
helping yourself by increasing the
productive capacity of your land
through the growing of green manure
crops.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine forest
fires have been reported by the
twenty-five national forests Of Oregon
and Washington for the present fire
season, up to July 81. These fires
have burned $3.50 acres OF national
forest land, 1896 acres of private land
inside national forest boundaries, and
26,609 acres of private land outside
and adjacent to national forest bound
aries. Only 131 of the fires burned
over ten acres each; 295 were aeld
under ten acres and over one quarter
acre; while 573 fires were held under
one quarter of an acre each. Esti-
mates of the damage or loss are not
available as yet.
Over half of the fires were caused
by lightning. The forest service re-
port calls attention to The fact that
the lightning hazard has been unusu-
ally severe this year: at the same
time it expresses appreciation of the
fact that many forest visitors hive
cooperated by being more careful.
The report shows SCI lightning fires,
as against 43s man-caused.
Analysing the man-caused fires,
however, the forest service finds that
smokers and campers are still the
prime offenders. There is a total Of
1874 smokers fires and 1875 campers
fires. This is 50 per cent OF the total
number of man-saused fires due to the
camper-smoker hazard. Forest Off
GERS point out that there is still
careless minority of forest visitors
who menace the welfare of the forest,

Enter Good Teams In Pulling Contest
Farmers with good teams will have
an opportunity to test their pulling

Many men have entered the alfalfa
growing contest conducted in Sno.
qualmie Valley, with cash prizes
offered for the best new seeding.
Land plaster has been distributed by
County Agent W. w. Henry for appli-
cation before seeding use of new
seedlings and on last years seedlings.
