is an effort on the part of ths old machine to get into the
political exidle. It is an effort to restore the old time con-

One of the moat important feature»

a fair and live stock »how 1» compet
ent, honest judgment. Anything short
of thia makes a fake of the whole pro-
isMition. This disgusts ami turns from
the show ring the exhibitors, befuddle#
the public and brings the fair into bad
repute. To give satisfaction a judge
must possess integrity, be thoroughly
conversant with the line of »tock he
undertakes to judge and not only thia,
must have had con iklerable experience
in placing animals in nhe show ring. It
is a fact that some men well known to
be the Iwst judges of livestock cannot
g<> into a Urge ring of animal» and
place them promptly ami satisfactorily
themselves. Some men do not possess
the ability to carry comparisons in
their mind and soma seem to get stage
fright. To spend a lot of money in
advertising pritea for big exhibitors
and then select Incompetent men to
officiate in the judging arena is a great
mistake—one that will work fatal in
jury to any show no matter how well it
may o'herwiae lie held. The time ia
past for picking up judges the day you
wish to have vour stock adjudged. The
time is past for forcing men into

harmonious all around.
Competent
ju<tges with eatabliahcd reputations
ahould be selected early in the season
in time to incorporate their names in
the premium list if possible so that
exhibitors may know who the judges
are and that they are comjxtrnt to
pass upon their stock, Then should
any one be prejudiced againat the
judge for any reason he haa hi« excuar
for not showing under him. The idea
that th«- judge's name ahould lie with
heki until he comes into the show ring
to do his work and that the ownership
of the stock should lie kept from him
as much as |>o»sib|e should lie gotten
away from. If a man is nut competent
to judge the stock on its merita and
honest enough to place the riblions
according to the merits of the animals
reg an! less of the owner he is not fit to
act as judge. The importance of this
thing ia being more and more under
stood each rear bv our fair managers
and while they may seem to be mislead
in selecting judges w«< believe it is the
desire of every manager in the North
west to guarantee their exhibitors
goml judges along this line. Judges
have not as yet been announced for
all the fairs of the coast this season
but as far as they have they arc m*n
of ability ami high standing ami we
