FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1920 | FARMER SHOULD BE MORE FAMILIAR WITH GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF JUDGING STOCK «Prepared by th:a United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A real need In agricultural reglons today is more widespread knowledge «0f how to judge live stock properly. ‘While the judging of the finest animals 4s lkely to remain an art in which relatively few persons can attain the thighest standing, nevertheless farmers ‘as a whole should be thoroughly famil- 4ar with the general principles of judg- * 4ng stock. Knowledge of this sort I8 ‘A real asset, The art of judging beef cattle Is the foundation of all beef-cattle shows, and also is largely the means of de- “termining the value of cattle offered public sales. It serves as a basis for every man who buys and raises ~cattle to seek improvement along well- recognized forms. . If a breeder Is not a good judge he +annot mate individuals so as to get the best possible offspring. Knowl- -edge may be obtained through long ex- berieuce, but a systematic course in Judging may accomplish the same end at a cost of fewer mistakes and-a ‘much shorter time. If a farmer is a competent judge of feeders, for ex- -ample, he can go to the market and save the buylng charges or commis- ‘fons on a deal which otherwise would “have to be handled through commis- sion men.

Good handling qualities 'are essentlal, as excessive fat, showing that the animal has been pampered, is undesirable. Heavy flesh 18 necessarily of importance, but breed- ing cattle should he judged more by thefr value as breeding stock than by the flesh they carry. Superabundance of flesh may hide defects. Too much emphasis cannot be given to the fact that animals being judged should have ability to transmit their usefulness and desirable characteristics to thelir offspring. In fact, prepotency should be so strong and the line of breeding 8o well defined for the specific pur- pose that the animal will have a ten- dency to produce better individuals than itself. Prepotency Is obtained by consistent breeding toward a defl- nite type and therefore is to be ex- .pected most frequently among animals true to their breed type. o Suggestions About Judging. In judging a class of cattle or in- specting a single individual, one should first make a general survey of the ani- mals or animal, examining the general features from a distance and noting the general outline and typlcal' beef To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti- pation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the in- side like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys-and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify, and freshen the entire ali- mentary tract before eating more food. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It -commercial purposes, it {8 more impor- -tant to study how to judge ‘feeders than fat cattle. Judging the former " requires more skill than judging the “Jatter. Without standards, stock judging -cannot be made a succesy. The small- «est cattle owner as well as the man who-owns a large herd needs to be familiar with the ideal beef type. This -animal, when fat, must have a low- set body which is broad, deep and -smooth, with level lines, haying a thick, even coverlng of firm flesh. together with general character and style, also serve as an Indication of the inner parts which cannot be seen. In learning to judge beef cattle it 18 necessary to become familiar with the location and naimes of the different parts of the animal.” The names are similar in all classes of live stock, and can be learned easily by referring to annotated illustrations or diagrams. “The names of wholesale cuts of the bheef carcass correspond quite closely #o those of the live animal, the only difference being that the wholesale car- cass contains fewer parts., Three Classes of Cattle. From. the butcher’s standpoint, cat- tle may be divided into three classes —fat cattle, feeders and breeding cat- tle. The first comprises animals ready for the butcher's block; the second is ‘the “unfinished product,” and the third :.constitutes the class from which the others are produced. In fat cattle, ‘one must judge according to what the . cattle are at the time. Infeeders, the animals which give promise of put- ting on the biggest and cheapest gains, - and developing into the best beef form when fattened, are the ones desired. In breeding cattle, the true beef form is .of prime importance, but there must also be assurance that the beef char- acteristics will be transmitted to the offspring. Judging Fat Cattle and Feeders. Fat cattle, so-called, include steers, heifers, calves, cows, and bulls. Fat ,rious parts of the body should be : | Hair, hide and bone of good quality. .made, beginning at the head. form. When first approaching an animal, ‘note the front view and the features of the head and the width and depth of the chest. On moving toward the side, note the depth of the body and the lowness of the flank. The rear view will glve the width of the back, spring of the ribs and thickness and development of the hind quarters, par- ‘ticularly the thighs and twist. After a survey of the animal from a short distance, a close inspection of the va- is inexpensive and almost tasteless. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to pre- vent their formation. In the case of beginners, judging work usually should commence with the use of the score card, after the |:'various parts of the animal have been ,Identified and the use of the card has ‘been explained. One should make a !complete examination of the individ- ual before the various cuts are noted ;on the card. The score card Is in- i tended primarily for beginners, and is ‘to be used in learning the detalls of comparative judging. ‘Comparative iJudging Is ewployed exclusively in i placing the awards at public beef-cat- | tle shows. Practice test may be con- i fined to selecting the best indlvidual in a class of cattle of the same age. As one becomes more proficient, an- imals of different ages may be judged, ]but the sexes should be kept separate. |In comparative judging one must ex- ! amine the varlous parts and make di- irevt comparison, keeping in mind the Iparts which are relatively 1he most | important. The judge-to-be should gradually ac- i quire facility in summarizing the total iof the qualifications of each animal. i Use of the score card is a step toward efliciency in the difficult task of com- parative judging. Only In close com- petition in comparative judging does the experienced judge need to place side by side the smallest details. How- ever, in many judging contests, this becomes necessary, and the judge may lflnnlly be required to make his deci- | ision upon relatively fine points. | Sample score cards for fat and feed- The reason why Kuppenheimer Clothes prove their worthiness in long wear and service IT’S simple enough to make a suit of clothes that will get your approval on casual inspection.

Shop EL SUCCESSOR TO SCHNEIDER BROTHERS THE HOUSE OF KUPPENHEIMER CLOTHES steers and heifers constitute by i“”er-beet cattle and for breeding beef the largest percentage. Each must o .o topether with a model card for be considered from the butcher’s standpoint, the finish and quality of flesh being of prime importance. Cat- tle bred especially for beef purposes have a tendency to produce marbled meat or to deposit layers of fat throughout the lean meat, while in cattle bred exclusively for dalry pur- poses, the tendency is to deposit a surplus fat, principally around the in- ternal organs, where it becomes a rel- atively cheap suet and does not tend to ‘improve the quality of the lean meat. In judging feeders, it must be borne in mind that they are “unfin- ished” cattle, and therefore do not have the width and flesh covering of fat cattle. In general, the same quali- fications apply to feeders as to fat cattle, except that certain poiats of the score card must be emphasized and others minimized. The desirable feeder is the one that will dress out a high percentage of high-priced meats when finishéd and slaughtered. Breeding cattle, first of all, must comparative judging by class or team, constitute part of the material con- 'tained in a recent Farmers' bulletin fssued by the department of agricul- ture, entitled “Judging Beef Cattle.” The 21 pages of text discuss in popu- .lar language the various features of judging beef cattle, and 1t contains suggestions regarding their scoring.
