In the blistery of the ring Jim Jeffries, we belierve, was the first man in whale itderest the trained public- ity man exercised his art. He was the first pugilist whose .appearance in the riag was a 17/ratter of international importance. There had beam great men before Jeffries, perhaps greater, but none of them had seemed to be carrying on his shoulders the fate of the white race. Jack London led all the sob sisters in his writings about Jeffries as the cave man, the troglodyte. His effusions were ouly equalled in later years by Irvin Cobb when he described the march through Belgium of the German army. Had Jeffries been meeting another white man the modern fashion of writing about prizefighters might never have been born, At any rate, Leaden made Jeffries a menacing and significant figure, a ferocious monster who might well put a regiment to flight or tear asunder a ravenous grizzly bear. Something of the same sort was later tried with the stupid, amiable Willard. But it was not uptil the coming of Dempsey that the flesh of the newspaper reading public was really made to creep with terribni stories about the "killer," the un- leashed whirlwind, the savage beast of the jungle. Dempsey is really a pleasant fellow, but if he had been represented as he was a whole lot of people would have died poorer, including Dempsey himself. Carpentier, being obviously no sav- age or throw back to the gorilla -man, had to be treated 'with a different technique. He became the "orchid man." the intellectual, fast as light- ning when ,arouSed and striking with the deadly ferocity of a fer-de-lance. Tunney was ballyhooed as the stu- dent, the thoughtful scholar with wrinkled brow who stooped to the vulgar fistcuffs of the ring to elevate it and restore once more the glorious science that had been neglected among the big men since the time of Jern Mace. ,Hfe, like Carpenter, was also a hero. Their war records were nexluced and canned while Dempsey who had no war record that would have made thrilling reading, was left to glower murderously in the illustra- tion's. Firpo was "the wild bull of the pampas," without any evidence be- ing put in to show that Firpo ever saw a pampas. Tom Heeney was the "hard rock from down under," and the public was swindled into the be- lief that he was a match for Tummy. Max Schmeling, by virtue of his scowling, has also become a figure of romance and is due to make a fortune out of the American ring. But for the moment the Italian peasant Cam- era, because of his abnormal bulk, has beeome an unskilled laborer of inter- national importance, and the creation of legends about him has become the chief preoccupation of a staff of press agents. 675,000 MILES OF U. S. PAVEMENT The year 1929 was in many ways the greatest twelve months of road - building in the history of the United States. This is true not only from the standpoint of the construction of improved highways, but also from that of making joreparation for an expand- ed programme in 1930. Preliminary figures, quoted by Thos. P. Henry, president of the American Automobile Association, indicate that approximately 55,000 miles of high- ways were surfaced on the federal aid, state and local systems last year, bringing the total surfaced mileage up to 675,000 miles at the close of the year. This means that around one• fifth of the nation's betel of 3,013,584 miles of all roads has been temporar- ily or permanently surfaced. In carrying out this vast road -build- ing program in 1929, as well as main- taining existing highways, federal, state and local agencies spent approxi- mately $1,800,000,000. Mr. Henry re- ports, and have already launched pro- grams for the ensuring year that will exceed $2,000,000,000 in cost. To this must be added around $500,000.000 a year spent by municipalities in build- ing and maintaining streets. But large as these programs appear, it must not be assumed that they in any way measure up to the highway needs of the nation. Aside from important interstate and state highways, there was also con- siderable progress made during 1929 in the building of forest roads and trails, as well as roads in the na- tiorial parks. There were 315.4 miles of forest highways of all classes built in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1929. Of this total 298.1 miles were in the western states and Alaska, and the remaiming 17.3 miles were in the for- ests of two eastern states. In the na- tional parks, the year's work brought to comaletion the improvement +of 100.7 miles of park roadway, increas- ing the total thus far improved to 213.4 miles. At the close of the fiscal year construction was in progress on 113 miles, and surveys were under wary oh 209 miles more. [ie BALLYHOO PROCEEDS FOR ITALIAN GIANT We presume that the are more peo- ple deeply interested in Primo Carn- era just now than in Mussolini, Mar- coni, Croce or any other distitguish- ed son of Italy. Certainly more peo- ple crowded albout him in New York wheat he recently arrived from Eur- ope than he could have shaken hands with had he taken all day at the job. His first appearance in an American ring drew thoetsa.nds, and it was a successful debut since he expeditious- ly despatched his opponent, Big Boy Peterson, who served as sacrificial goat for the premier. Now the work of building up Carnera into a wqrld figure is being industriously pressed by those who have a financial inter- est in his prize ring career. It is true that Tex Rickard is no lodger living to direct the ballyhoo but it is proceeding along lines which he ap- proved if he did not actually origin- ste. Camera is being draped in the mantle of the Latin world worn some little time ago by Luis Firpo, the mountain of beef who swept Jack Dempsey out of a New York ring as though he had been struck by a trav- elling crane. Unfortunately Firpo's ignorance of English and the slaw- wittedness of his advisers made him miss the opportunity to claim the fight and the heavyweight champion- ship. But Firpo was what is called a colorful character and since his re- tirement the hot -leans have been an- iously scanned for another to take WO place. That explains Camera. It explains the extravagant claims made in his behalf and the gaudy pictures which have been distributed. It is our duty to readers to look rather closely at these pictures and explain just which of them may be expected to have had their origin in some studio occupied by the talented if unscrupulous Rog- ers. Our expert in this matter shall Trtl William Bolitho, the well-known special writer for the New York World, who saw Carnea with Peter- sen. Here is what he says: "It is wrong to say he has a beautiful er even noble body. It is red and hair- less. His muscles are the plebeian masses that merge roundly into one another with the look of fatness; the muscles of a blacks-mith or stevedore, not the aristocratic flesh pure sport creates. His ekin, too, is muddy. There was a large angry red pimple on his shoulder, and his huge feet are lamentable, bunihned, jointed, the feet of a poor waiter. On his calf there were knotted veins and tha scars of boils ror festered bruises." Unfortunately Mr. Bolitho's impres- sione appear on the editorial page - and are thus likely to be noted by comparatively few people. If they had been published in the sports sec- tiish a damaging blow would have been dealt t» the Carnera Perhaps nobody will look so critically at the giant again, at least not until tome smaller luau knocks him out. 1./4 regarded through a mist of sentimentality, an aura of hero Worthip.

Chicken Salad. Two cupfuls cold, cooked chicken, 1 cupful chopped cabbage, 1/2 tea- spoonful celery salt, French dressing, lettuce, mayonnaise, hard cooked eggs, stuffed olives. Cut the chicken in small cubes and use only the tenderest of the cabbage leaves. Max the chicken in French dressing. Let stand for an hour in a cool place. Then serve on a bed of lettuce, and garnish with mayonnaise sliced hard -cooked eggs and the halv- ed olives. Increase quantities accord- ing to the number to be served. SIMPLE MAIN DISHES FOR FAMILY'S SUPPER The 'housewife who must prepare rad plan three meals a day usually finds the problem of selecting suitable and easily prepared main dishes for the luncheon or supper meal a very perplexing one. When a hot dinner with a heavy meat dish is served dur- H.; the day, the luncheon or supper ntain-dish should be either a meatless cne or one in which only a small amount of meat has been used. The "matin -dish" type of salad- - that is, the type of salad that is suf- ficiently nourishing for use as the main dish of the meal, is an exceed- ingly useful dish with which to ex- periment. These salads are usually economi- cal; they enable one to make use oi small amounts of left -over meat and vegetables; they are nourishing, and, if one wishes, they may be made in advance of the meal. If the salad is preceded by a hot cream soup and is followed by a fruit dessert and a hot beverage, the meal will be an inexpensive, easily prepar- ed and thoroughly wholesome one. Potato salad is a very popular dish. The following recipes are favorites of our readers: Pork Salad. Two cupfuls cold, lean diced pork, 1 cupful crisp diced celery, 1 cupful tart diced apples, white pepper, salt and paprika, lettuce and mayonnaise. Mix the pork, celery and apple with the mayonnaise. Season with the salt and pepper. Place in a mound on crisp lettuce leaves. Garnish With mayonnaise,_ and sprinkle over with paprika. If desired, marinate pork cubes in French dressing half an hour before mixing. Savoury Salad. One cup cold ham, chopped, % cup thick chili sauce, 2 ableepoons chop- ped stuffed olives, 3 hard cooked eggs, chopped; % cup mayonnaise to which has been added one-third cup whipped cream. Mix and chill. Serve on crisp lettuce garnished with pimento cut in strips. Country Salad. One cupful chopped cooked meat, 1 cup diced cooked potatoes, one-half cup cooked sliced carrots, one-half cup diced celery, 2 hard -cooked eggs, mayonnaise, lettuce, sweet tpickles. Combine the chopped, cooked meat which may be corned beef, tongqe or ham, with sufficient boiled thawing to mould. Pack in a mould and thor- oughly chill. Likewise, thoroughly chill the cooked potatoes and carrots. Let the diced celery stand in cold water to which a little lemon juice has been added. When ready to serve, line the salad c'ish with lettuce; unm,ould the meat in the centre and arrange the pota- toes, tossed in boiled dressing, around it. Place a border of carrots around the potatoes, then the celery, drained and dried. Chop the whites of the Yard -cooked eggs and sprinkle over the salad. Press the yolks through a fine sieve and scatter over the meat. Garnish with halves of gherkins and pour boiled dressing over the vege- tables. AUTOMOTIVE MUSINGS These price increases in motor cars, about which no one seems to be wor- rying, really were predicted in trade circles as long as a year ago. The prediction was based upon the fact that every year motor car manufac- turers were giving the consumer more automobile in most cases withoutein- creasing the price. Long ago, it was pointed out, this situation resulted in the automotive dollar having the highest value among all commadity dollars,. Many observers •of the situation recognized that the condition was bound to end sooner or later; that the manufacturer faced the prospect either of limiting improvements or increasing prices. Production effici- ency, carried to amazing heights as a cost reducer, could not year after year save the producer the additional sum he was putting into his motor car. The 1930 season, ushering in the greatest number of improvements in the history of motordom, was inevit- ably the one to mark the change. "Nothing can stop the public from buying automobiles, and nothing will stop them from buying better motor cars," the economist told the manu- facturer. "The public's taste has been elevated tremendously during the past few years, as evidenced by the fact that the average price paid for automobiles has been steadily upward in spite of generally lower prices." The industry, heeding the counsel in many, though not all cases, built more car and asked more price. In other cases it built more car without asking more price. Regardless of which course the maker of his favor- ite car pusued, the buyer is assured of more than his money's worth. That's why the industry is confident of 1930 results. Those arterial highways which are becoming so common may yet become too ce,inhiten. Such a warning, which is heard with interest in many quar- ters, is sounded by B. B. Meek, direc- tor of public works for California. Mr. Meek, while by no means criticizing the arterial highways, declares that the tendency to create artificial boule- vards is apparent in many quarters. The artificial concentration of traffic on any boulevard, he fears, will cause the arterial to fall by its own weight: unless intelligently curlbed. The arterial highway inevitably draws traffic. Its attraction, how- ever, should be natural and not arti- ficial, authorities feel, concurring with Mr. Meek's point of view. * The old mechanic says: Usually about this time of year, right after the new models have begun to get out, I feel a strong urge to talk about the wisdom of gettin' acquainted with the car through the instruction book. Not long ago I heard an expert on automobile safety indulge in a little criticism of the industry for not tellin' new car buyers more emphatically to make use of the owner's manual or instruction book. Well, whether he was right or wrong, I don't know. I do know this, however, after lookin' over these 1930 automobiles that no owner could do better than read what the instruction books have to say about them. They're different cars. In lots of cases I can also say, they're different in- struction books -better written, clear- er and full of helpful illustrations. It's always struck me as, funny the way some car owners acst as if they didn't need any instructions about the new cars they buy. Believe me, I've been in the 'business of repairin' those cars for many a year now, and yet I don't feel like highehattin' what the factory has to write about them in its books for owners. Of course, the principle doesn't change a lot from year to year. The detail does. Take the clutch for in- stance. Can you imagine how far I'd get fixin' a delicate modern plate clutch by usin' what I used to know about cone clutches? The owner doesn't have to fix the clutch, of course, but he does have to handle it a lot. He ought to know how. It's the same with other features of the new cars. Dozens of 'em are bein' sused 'cause the owner never read up on the rules of usin' them right. My idea is that every new car buy- er—and old ones, too, if they haven't rirrlR it --00111d spend a profitable "right off" reeding up on his car. * * * Now that the sloping windshield is "peeing hack on a ,grand scale. lots of elotariets who owned (.1.s of a few veers ago have forgotten the reason -telly it ever disappeared.

Cook six or eight slices of bacon until crisp, drain well, chill and break into small piec- es. Prepare three cupfuls of cold, cooked potatoes cut in small cubes. Cut three of the eggs into small pieces, and combine with the pota- toes, bacon, % cup 'salad dressing, ta cup chopped celery, 2 small onions, finely chopped, 1 teaspoonful of salt and 1/4 teaspoonful pepper. Serve CM lettuce in attractive mounds, which may be moulded by packing the salad into custard cups or other moulds, then turning out. Garnish with the remaining egg, cut in slices, and a dash of paprika. French Cream Potato Salad. Two/cupfuls cold boiled potatoes, Pa stalks celery, a few grains of pepper, 2 tablespoonfuls vinegar, 11/4 tablespoonfuls chopped onions, 1 tea- spoonful salt, a few grainsaf paprika, ta cup cream, 1 tablespoonful butter. Dice •the potatoes and celery; mix with the minced onion, salt, pepper and paprika, add °file vinegar, and allow to stand 15 minutes. Heat the cream and butter until the butter is melted. Pour over the potatoes, stir- ring with a fork, so that the potatoes will not be mashed. Serve cold. Nice with thinly sliced cold meat, A Favorite Potato Salad. Two cups cold cooked potatoes, 2 hard -cooked eggs, 1 cup cold cooked peas, a little chopped green pepper, 2 small onions. Cut the potatoes, egg and onion fine; shred the piece .of pepper, add peas and mix with about 1 cup of mayonnaise. Let it chill thoroughly. Add the yolks of , the hard -cooked eggs, rubbed through a sieve. Serve in a bowl lined with lettuce. Smooth over the top and garnish with long' strips of tucuMber pickle passed 'three& stkes of hard-coeked egg - Whites. Past with this additional Mayerninite or boiled dressing. Salmon Salad. Remove the bones, skin and oil from a cupfal.of salmon. Pour over it the juiceral half a lemon, and place it in the refrigerator to chill. When time for the meal, add as much celery as fish, a dozen English walnut meats, brOkell ½ pieces, and about 3 small pickles, cut fine.

HOW TO OBTAIN MORE MILEAGE Million's of dollars could be saved eternally by the automobile -owning public through a more strict observ- ance of the factors that control the gasoline mileage offered by the aver- age automobile, it is revealed in a survey on fuel economy recently com- pleted by a well known company. A gain of frorn two to five miles on the gallon of gas could be effected, on the average, jt was shown, if the motorist paid strict attention to the elements that govern fuel consump- tion. The majority of items to be watched are rather obvious to the average automobile owner, b u t through an inadequate appreciation of their importance are commonly ov- erlooked. The survey sets down specifically a number of factors, which, if observed should materially increase your mile- age. They are: 1. When standing or waiting for the light to change don't race your motor. 2. When you are to make a stop of more than a minute turn off your motor. , 3. Don't drive at excessive speeds unless the occasion demands. High speed travelling burns more gas. 4. Remember that the faster you drive the more gas you consume. So when you find that you are about out of gas and are heading for a gas sta- tion take it slowly and your chances for negotiating the distance will be greater. 5.

SOME TASTY THINGS FOR VARY- ING POPULAR OLD-TIME APPLE PIE Marlboro Pie. Three large apples, 2 eggs, 1,4 cup- ful sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls butter, 1 cupful milk, 4 tablespoonfuls powder- ed sugar, nuts. Line a pie plate with a good pastry dough, then cover the bottom with finely chopped pared ap- ples. Cream the yolks of the eggs with the sugar. Add the melted but- ter, creaming again. Add the milk and pour all over the apples. Lattice the top with strips of pastry and bake for 35 minutes in a slow oven (375 deg. F.). When done, make a mer- ingue from the stiffly beaten egg- whites and the powdered sugar and a few chopped nuts. Drop in spoonfuls over the top of the pie and brown slightly.

SON AT ONTAIRdO AGRICUL- TURAL COLLEGE AND LEARNS WHO'S ,WHO IN TURNIPS "Yes, we use a lot of turnips on our dining cars and in our big ho- tels and I am very fond of them my- self, but this is a revelation to me," said Mr. Young of the Canadian Na- tional Railways while visiting one" of the College laboratories with Presi- dent Christie a few days ago, and .he sampled some of the freshly cooked turnips for himself. "Indeed, I thought I knew turnips, but I certainly di dnot know that the delicious ,kirel we serve on our hotel tables are of the same class as those commonly fed to cattle; and I did not know that there were so many differ- ent varieties of this particular class, nor that there was such a distinct dif- ference in flavor and texture as yen are discovering here. 't'hen in response to President Christie's request, the crops investi- gator in charge proceeded to give Mr. young the newest news about varie- ties of Swede Turnips, and about the field tests that come before the cook-. ing tests each season, and about the wide difference between different var- ieties in regard to yield, outward ap- pearance, and inward quality includ- ing texture, calor, flavor, etc. , "In general," he said, "the globe - shaped varieties are preferable to those of other shapes, but we have a good many varieties of globe -shap- ed 'turnips with considerable differ- ences in yield, smoothness, color and table quality. Gradually, as our in- vestigations continue, we are narrow- ing down to just two ar three varie- ties which we can recommend . most highly to farmers who are growing turnips as a cash crop. Two of the ,very best are Canadian Gem and Per- fect Model. Both of these produce nice, smooth, globe -shaped roots with purple color above the ground and creamy color underneath. Bath have rather narrow necks which leave only a small cut surface when the tops are taken off. Indeed, the two verities are so much alike in outward appear- ance that we could scarcely distin- guish between them, but in a five year test, the Perfect Model gave an av- erage yield of about two tons per acre more than the Canadian Gem, as well as having somewhat superior table quality. Quite a lot of varieties have been under field test for a num- ber of years, but table quality tests have been made only during the past four years. Our general conclusion is that we in Ontario must do about the same in regard to varieties of turnips as we are doing in varieties of potatoes, that is, we must limit ourselves to a very few varieties, and these must be of the same general type in order that we may furnisb large quantities of uniform roots to the buyers. A smooth round purple -top turnip of medium size and crisp tender quality is what the cash market calls for, but of course large yield per acre is also im- portant from the farmer's viewpoint." CHATS ON , EDUCATION (At the Principal's Desk) C. L. Burton, General Manager of the Robert Simpson Company Limit- ed, of Toronto, made some strong statements a few days ago regarding the need for vocational education and vocational guidance. It is inspiring to find men in such positions of power and responsibility, men involved in the conduct of some of our greatest business enterprises, human enough and patriotic enough to take an active interest in such problems. As a father Mr. Burton has had occasion to face the same problem of choice of education and ,vocation as every other father must face. As president of the Big Brother Movement in Toronto, he has taken an active interest in helping those boys many of whom lack proper or adequate parental guidance at home. "We are guilty of a grave crime when we force children of thirteen or fourteen years of age to stick to an academic course when their mental make-up and nature are only suited for vocational training," declared Mr. Burton according to a newspaper re- port. "This is the reason why we have so many children and unemployed walking the streets of our city. It is a big pity. I see them every day. They come to me and ask for a job. When I ask them what they can do, I learn that all they can do is flat. "Children when they reach the age of fourteen should be sorted out and placed in vocational classes. We should look after the boys who do not want geography, history, etc., shoved down their throats. "If I were a child and in the same 'position many of otir boys and girls are in to -day, I would fight it. Many cf those who were social misfits are in the penitentiary and they were mis- fits because their education did not fit them for their life work. "Pupils who are unable to keep up with the academic training of our school are fit candidates for the peni- tentaries. The child is up against it. By submitting these boys to a 'purga- tory' of unsuitable training and in- ability to earn a livelihood, we are do- ing just the same thing as if we placed revolvers in their hands and started them out to commit crime." St rong words, these, but shamefully true. Education is good. True education is the drawing out, the development, the harmonizieg of all the powers of body, mind and spirit, and one of the greatest means for the development of these powers is specific training for a vocation for which the boy or girl has a natural aptitude, and in which he or she will find daily pleasure and satisfaction as well as financial inde- pendence. The absurdity of our present situa- tion lies in this: Our present high schools are in fact vocational schools. They are vocational schools giving the grand work far the vocations of teacher, preacher, lawyer, doctor and possibly we might add engineer, arch- itect and a few other of the newer professions. In brief our high schools are voca- tional schools supported by the money of the taxpayers at considerable cost and actually suitable to the five or ten per cent. of the boys and girls who should enter these particular vo- cations. Of one thousand girls of school age in this county, how many, think you, saauld enter the vocations of medi- cine, teaching, nursing, preaching, law, architecture, engineering? Prob- ably fifty, possibly one hundred. How many should enter the greatest pro- fession for women, that of home mak- ers? Most likely seven or eight hun- dred. How many of our 'high schools and Gollegiates to -day have a Domes- tic Science Course calculated to help these seven or eight hundred girls prepare to become better home mak- ers, better mothers? Much the same may be said of boys. The High Schools are really serving the fifty to one hundred out of every thousand who belong in the profes- sions. For the two or three hundred who should go into business and the six or eight hundred who should be prepared to make a real eucceas of some branch of farming, we do little or nothing. When I ask the reason, I am told: "The people will not stand for any tecrease in the taxes" and "The peo- ple will not send their boys and girls to take these courses in domestic sci- ence or agriculture if they are offer- ed." You parents and taxpayers think this over. Cheese Crust For Apple Pie. The combination of apple pie and cheese is a delightful one. Instead of serving cheese with the pie, try add- ing it to the pastry. To line two deep pie plates and make borders on them, mix 2 cupfuls of flour with Ye cupful shortening and water to make a stiff dough—adding the water a tablespoonful at a time: Roll to a sheet one-fourth of an inch thick and sprinkle with one-half cup- ful grated hard cheese. Roll like a jelly roll, then turn under the ends. Cut in two pieces. Pat one piece, roll lightly again to a sheet one-fourth of an inch thick, and the past will now be ready to line one plate and make the border. Repeat with sec- ond piece—for second pie. NEW CHEMICAL AUTO MUFFLER A chemical device to replace muf- flers on, automobiles that will elim- inate the deadly carbon monoxide eon- tained in the exhaust gases has been developed by Dr. J. C. W. Frazer, professor and chairman of the depart- ment ,at the Johns Hopkins Univers- ity. Since carbon monoxide, odorless, colorless, tasteless and poisonous, swiftly in small concentrations, claims many lives each month through the carelessnees of automobilists failing to open garage doors before warming up their engines, this latest chemical achievement ie hailed as an import- ant step in making the machine age less dangerous. D. Frazer said that an automobile equipped with the new oxidizing device could, be run in a closed garage without danger from carbon monoxide poisoning. Because of patent claims, Dr. Fraz- er has not yet revealed the exact na- ture of the material that transforms the deadly carbon monoxide to car- bon dioxide, the same gas that hu- man beings breathe out of their lungs. But it is known that it is a catalyst, a substance that causes a chemical re- action without itself participating. It is similar in action to the catalyst, consisting of manganese dioxide and copper oxide, that was an outgrowth of chemical warfare work by Dr.i razer and a laboratory staff during he war. Fire departments and mine rescue squads use gas masks to -day that rely on their war -time catalyst for purifying the air of carbon mon- oxide. At present only one experimental unit of the catalyst muffler is in operation, mounted for convenience on the running board of Dr. Frazer's ex- perimental ear. BE SUSPICIOWF BARGAIN SEED There are no bargains in seeds, states M. T. Munn, State Seed .An- alyst for New York, who declares that many other things beside price should enter into the selection of par - theses of this kind. Quality as indi- cated by purity, germination and true- ness to name is the important thing. "It is 'a very safe practise to give no attention whatever to advertise- ments of seeds where the price is the only descriptien given of the stock being offered for sale," states Mr. Merin. "Price is too often the bait upon the hook for those who bite up- on bargain seeds. Experience has re- peaterily demonstrated that it is far cheaper in thc, end to buy the best seede obtainable than to take as a gift cheap, ltw-quality weed -infested seed."

Your farm will be farmed by tenants imported from southern Europe or from .China. To spend money on that which is useless is folly, but to invest money 'n that Which will produce great re- turns is good business. The investment of thoutands of dollars in some of the mineral re- sources of Ontario has produced mil- lions in return. But the greatest re- source in which you an invest money as a taxpayer and a citizen is in the boys and girls of your district, in ffheir education, in education that will A SHOW RING PARABLE Take, says, two equally well-bred bull calves sired by the same bull and from dams of like pedigrees and eq- ual iadividual merit, and when, say, fifteen months old put them before the public at any one of our well- cetablished shows and sales. Sup- pose one has been what is termed well done, kept on full milk during the first six months of his life, and afterwards, along with other good things carefully fed to him, he has had a certain allowance of milk up to day of the sale. In the allow and sale ring the first - named animal will not only attract the attention of the judges, but will be keenly bid for by the public, while the other receives little attention from either, and is knocked down at a very inferior price. An authority on the subject has alleged that much of the goodness of an animal goes in at its mouth, and in no case is this mere true than in that of young bulls. It is a true saying that "Many a prize has been lost and won in the ring through the way animals have been handled when before the judges," and many men who are masters of the art of bringing out their stock give points away when they lead them into the ring. Same men never can .be taught the art of showing the animals under their care to the best advantage, and al- though coaohed to try to hide a weak- ness, often break down at the Most important and critical moment of the fight. MANY HORSES SLAUGHTERED IN U. S. FOR MEAT Since July, 1919, when horses first were slaughtered under federal (U.S.) inspection, until December, 1928, 211,457 head have been killed and a- bout 24,900,000 pounds of cured horse meat has been exported. Last year 127,066 horses were slaughtered for food. The Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Sweden provide the prin- cipal foreign markets for smoked and pickled horse meat. Besides the meat entering the export trade for human consumption, increasing quantities are being used in. this country as ehicken feed and to supply fax farms. Horses are slaughtered under gov- erment control at Butte and arm Falls, Montana; Portland, Oregon; Rockford, Illinois, and Brooklyn, New York. At these places an outlet is. found for the hordes of wild horses infesting many parts of the western ranges, as well as for the old plugs that have outlived their usefulness on the farm. No horse meat may be prepared at establishments where cattle, sheep,or swine are dressed nil. i der federal nspection. e- 0",,r4t,,,Nyge.,.A4-,e, 'rq • . r 44
