SHOWING CALVES IN THE RING.
By Fred E. Klussendorf
One of America's Leading Showmen-
Assuming that the animal that you
are to show has been selected urith
all the skill at your command; that
it is an animal showing constitution
and capacity; that it conforms aa far
as possible to the highest standards
of breed tyrv that it shows all the
indications of production and dairy
temperament aD-.l quality; , that it has
been properly fitted; that you have
led and posed it every day for a Jong
time and that all these thiog3 have
been don'a faithfully and vrell, you
are ready to lead it into the ring.
Have a neat looking halter on the
calf. It need not be an xnensivo one,
but should fit and be of good appear
ance. Don't hava a rope on it big
enough to tie an elephant nor have
fringes hanging all around, but let it
be clean and neat.
Have your calf or older animal so
trained that St will walk into the
ring with head up and without any
pulling or hauling. Take your place
in the line and keep a space of at
least three feet between your animal
and the next. '
In the Ring.
Now remember that for the legnth
of time your animal is in the ring
your whole attention should be given
to that animal and to the judge. Do
not let your attention be drawn from
your work in the ring. This means
no visiting with Johnnie Jones; no
looking over the crowd to see if they
are all watching you. You must be
emitiiely- oocupipd with seeing that
your animal is standing squarely co
its feet; that you keep it properly
posed at all times. Above every
thing, at this particular point, do not
allow it to; stretch itself after the
manner of a saddle horse as so
many the past year seemed inclinche
to do. Some believe that . this may
cover up a slopey rump, but it never
deceives the judge, and it usually
brings out other faults.
As thte judge corner down the ring
toward you stand on the opposite
side from him so that he may see at
a glance the Itop line, length and
depth of body, and the entire general
outline of your animal- After he has
passed you quietly step to the other
side always remembering that your
animal, yourself and the judge are
the only things to be considered by
you while in the ring..
When the judge walks up to you
to examine your animal, be sure to
stand on the opposite side, and, a3
he feels of the hide, allow the head
of your calf to very slightly iturn
toward him. This will enable him to
take hold of it more easily and deter
mine its softrtess and quality. He
wflll now examine for veining and
milkwell openings, for ribbing anld
openness of vertebrae; to females,
for placing of teats, attachment and
quality of udder; for males, for plac
ing of rudimentaries and how wtell
cut out behind; also for length and
levelness of hip. As he walks to the
head of your animal to examine that.
and to better observe the spring of
fore rib and depth of chvst, stand
slightly to one side. Your calf should
be so well trained that you will be
able to do this without the animal
moving from position.
Be courteous to the judge and sup
erintendent or other itersons in
charge. Do as you are told by them.
and, should you leave the ring with-
ofit a ribbon, do not go away dis
couraged but (with a determination
to get the blue next time. Find out
wbtere your faults were ,and correct
them.
After the ribbons are given out, if
you have any question that you would
like to ask the judge, do not hesitate
to do so. The entire purpose of the
show ring is to teach us, as breeders
of dairy animals, what are the es
sentials of a really high-class animal.
It required but 365 pounds of grain to
make 100 pounds of Increase in weight.
The cost per pound gain was 5
cents. The pigs were a choice lot of
Poland Chinas and were thrifty, which
accounts for the good showing made.
HELPFUL POINTS LISTED
ON CULLING OF POULTRY
Shoats Make Rapid Gain
Cal Young, a well known stockman
of Lane county, recently fed out eight
shoats for market on a grain alone ra
tion, reports H. A. Lindgren, -vxtension
specialist in animal husbandry. They
made a 65 pound gain each in 4D days
Late molting hens are practically
certain to be the best layers during
the following year, but poultrymen are
cautious about going to extremes in
making this factor the only one in
selecting the layers. How It may be
wisely used to cull out the weak lay
ers is indicated in a nev. O. A. C. ex
tension bulletin, "Suggestive Points in
Culling the Poultry Flock," by H. C.
Crosby of the extension service.
The best layers have dry, ragged,
frayed and brittle feathers, and he
tail feathers are badly worn during the
summer nd fall months. The poor
layers will have more wing primary
feathers in July and August than the
heavy layers.
Loosfe feathering is usually charac
teristic of the coarse, late maturing
bird, and the low producing hen..
Any mismanagement that checks egg
production in summer will force molt
ing, which must be considered by one
culling the flock.
When the hen starts laying the
whole abdomen -becomes dilated, the
pelvic bones (between which the eggs
mvit ipass become widespread, tne
keel is forced down, and the lateral
processes are sprung forward.
The fat goes out of the skin with
heavy laying, leaving the skin soft
and velvety and abdomen r-Jiable.
'Tt i -, net safe o judge a hen solely
on the basis of any one of the points
named in the bulletin," says Mr. Cos
by. "'Such procedure will result in un
told errors. Only when all indications
of good layers are applied to a hen
can inelligent judgment on her lay
ing abi,:!y be made."
The ' ulletin is free to poultrymen,
farmer, and others interested.
Buy Or Raise Pigs, Which?
Mr. George W. Piatt of Springfield,
in Lane county, co-operated with the
O. A. C. Extension Service in show
ing the cost of raising pigs to the
weaner stage. The farrow of one
Hampshire sow -consisting of 10 pigs,
was used in the demonstration. They
were weaned when 66 days old: The
average weight at that time was 50.2
lbs- Mr. Piatt a dairy farmer and
had a quantity of skim milk. The ra
tion fed consisted of purchased grain
and skim milk.

many farm
ers is that weaner pigs can be pur
chased cheaper than they can be rais
ed. The prevailing price at the pres
ent time on weaner pigs is S6 to $7
per head. The sow was run down in
condition at time of farrowing. It re
quired an extra amount of feed to
build her up. Sows suckling pigs will
utilize skim milk to a good advantage
and will most always produce weaners
cheaper than they can be purchased
elsewhere.

C. Experiment Station.
Sheepmen have found in Oregon that
adding a pound of silage to the ration
of the lamlbing ewe increases the milk
flow and thus produces a better lamb.
O. A. C. Extension Service.
Early sowing of winter wheat at the
rate of four or five pecks of treated
seed per acre gave the highest yields
at the Moro branch experiment sta
tion. Deep seeding of winter wheat
should generally be avoided. r.
Cleaning out the old vines from the
loganberry patch and training the new
growth on the trellis in the fall has
proved on the average a better prac
tice in western Oregpn than leaving
them on the ground through the win
ter. Winter injury may sometimes
be more severe from fall training, but
the greater freedom from disease and
proper position for growth in the early
spring usually more than make up for
such added winter injury as may oc
cur. O. A. C. Experiment Station.
Insect Feed Is High.
Cost of feeding insects in Oregon
for one year is estimated at $24,000,
000. This loss, much of which is pre
ventable, would build 480 miles of pav
ed highway in Oregon each year. The
progressive farmers, who plow the
ground well, who use good seed, and
follow out the recommendations of the
experiment stations, are uoi the heavy
losers. Those who use poor seed, are
careless in plowing, and leave debris
piled in fields are the unsuccessful
farmers and lose heavily in the long
run from failure to take a little time
and trouble to keep their farms in
condition. O. A. C. Experiment Sta
tion. , '
Avoid Bruised Meat.
Attention is called to the import
ance, of exercising care in handling
livestock going to, market, in a recent
issue of "Meat and Live Stock Di
gest." Bruised imeat caused by injury
to the animal causes a heavy loss to
the producers each year. These
Ibruises are caused by horns, poorly
constructed car doors, sham cornered
gate posts, pike poles, riubs, whips,
etc.,1 all of which can be avoided by
a little careful forethought. O. A. C.
Extension Service.

Canada thistle is easiest to "get" by
cutting down just at blossom time and
then plowing up the roots and keep
ing the ground cultivated to prevent
new growth until fall wteather sets in.
If no plant is allowed to mature seed,
and no roots allowed to get a new
start after cutting, even badly infested
fields may be practically cleared up
of thistles in one season. O. A. C.

Staking good, healthy potato vines
for seed selection before they die
down will help rid the stock of two

Well and diseased hills look pretty
much alike after the tops have died
down, and apparently good potatoes
may prove on trial to be diseased with
