Wash the animal. Wash it several
times if necessary with a good grade
of CASTLE or tar soap, using warm
water only. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Keep soiIed spots, knees ard tail
clean by washing. IF sore spots develop,
apply vaseline or ointment to them.
The Week Before the Show
To get perfect bloom. time must be
spent in grooming and rubbing every
day. Use brushes, soft cloths (wooIen),
sweet oil, accompanied by considerable
hand rubbing Use just enough oil to
straighten the hair and make rubbing
easy.
Discolored spots on white areas can
be b1eached by using chlorine solution
or hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide is more
expensive. but more desirable because
it leaves the hair in better condition.
If grooming and rubbing have been
done properly during the fitting period,
there will he very little clipping re-
quired except trimming on the head,
belly and tail.
The head should be clipped from
nostrils to the poll, around horns
and over poll Avoid clipping the head
later than four or five days before
showing. It is sometimes desirable,
when fitting .Ayrshires, to leave a ring
of hair around each horn to 'tdress up
the animal Milking Shorthorns are
generally clipped around the head and
neck. The extra coarse hair inside ears.
and the tail from the switch to the tail
head are clipped. The hair is generally
clipped from the udder.
Ears should be clipped inside and
out. except Brown Swiss, on which in
side of ears are sometimes not clipped.
Neck and shoulders may be clipped
to add refinement by running clippers
with the lay of the hair; clipped parts
must blend with unclipped parts and
show no clipper lines.
Clip tail from top of switch to tail
head, blending into unclipped parts at
the tailhead Judicious use of clipper
may greatly improve the appearance of
an unattractive rump.
Udder and belly should be closely
clipped on milking cows, except Ayr
shires. whose bellies are usually not
clipped. It is usually undesirable to clip
the belly of heifer.
Use blunt pointed scissors and small
animal clippers to trim around horns,
ears, feet or other places which cannot
be clipped with large clippers.
The Day Before the Show
With the exception of final touching
up everything should have been done
before this time.
Rub down thoroughly Avoid use OF
brush, except on dirty spots, because
brushing may raise unsightly welts.
Touch up the uneven places with
clippers and scissors, but be careful
not to clip 700 close or leave clipper
marks. Clipping should be done very
sparingIy so late in the fitting process.

Fitting, Showing
Dairy Cattle
By E. Il. KEYES
Montana State College
Department of Dairy Industry

QUIET AND CAREFUL handling is
the first requisite for successful show
manship of dairy cattle. Each animal
must be taught obedience and yet not
be frightened. Avoid harsh treatment
of any kind. Speak quietly to animals.
Pet and scratch them occasionally. In
other words, get on friendly terms
with the animals with which you work.
Rough handling in any way or manner
is never conducive to good results.
Things to do Early
Animals should be led frequently.
They should be taught to walk slowly,
carry the mead and body in a natural
and attractive manner and to pose
properly.
Brush the animals regularly. elbow
grease is not rationed = don't con-
serve it. At first, use fairly stiff
brush and apply some pressure. Later,
as the hide becomes soft and mellow.
use a softer brush and less pressure to
avoid welts on the hide. A rubber curry
comb is more desirable than one made
of metal because it is more effective
in removing loose hair and is less
likely to hurt the animal when used to
remove hardened bits of manure which
sometimes accumulate on the hooks.
Hard rubbing with the PALM of the
hand is highly desirable to stimulate
circulation of blood and secretion of
natural skin oils. Sweet oil may be
rubbed into the coat to soften the hide
and loosen dirt Grooming must be con-
tinuous
Animals should have an abundance of
clean dry bedding at all times.
Keep hoofs trimmed. This is very inn
portant because an animal will never
show to best advantage if it cannot
walk properly First trim the underside
of the hoof with blacksmith tools es-
pecially designed for that purpose, or
a rasp, keeping in mind 1evelness of
the hoof bottom with most of the
weight on the outside wall. Next trim
the outside with a mallet, chise1 and
file. taking care not to cut deeply
enough to draw blood. The animal
should be standing on wooden surface
when the mallet and chiseI are used.
Thorough washing will remove dirt and
manure and soften the surface of the
hoof.
Remove roughness and scale from
