HOW TO SELECT ANI
THAT IS THE
Great Skill Is Required—At
Beauty by Polishi
Prize foi
• 1
During the late autumn and early
winter we hear about a great many
agricultural shows. At many of these
fruit is exhibited Representative?
from the College of Agriculture are
irequently asked to act as judges at
these shows, and almost invariably
they report that splendid fruit was
shown, but much of it was so poorly
selected or arranged that it didn’t do
justioe to the grower and failed to win
the prizes it otherwise would.
Exhibit spoiled by the large apple.
In order to know how to select frui
it is necessary to know how the judg<
Is going to look at .'t, w hat pointB he h
going to observe particularly, and t<
what character he will give the great
est weight. First of all, if he is a goot
judge, he will examine the five applei
on a plate and decide whether thej
represent the correct form for the va
riety. For example, the Ben Da
vis sometimes produces rather flai
apples, but a typical Ben Mavis it
about as long as it is wide, and ii
somewhat conic in shape. A plate ol
flat Ben Davis mipht be just as goot!
apples as any other, but would fail tc
win a prize becr.use they were off
form.
Size is usually nt xt considered. Tht
mistake exhibitors frequently make if
to show their very largest specimens
no matter if they are so overgrown
that they are ribbed, when they ought
to be smooth, or lopsided, when the>
should be erect. Large apples art
good exhibition material only when
they are of correct form and well col
ored.
Of more Importance than size if
the color. A red apple can' not
be too highly colored, but with green
apples, like the Mann, Ithode Islam!
Greening and others, a heavy blush if
undesirable. The russet apples should

be truly russet In colqr, and
yellow . Soma apples are coi
a waxy bloom which gives
very rich, color. This bj
much a part of the fruit
and should not be rubb*
, mistaken effort to beaui
product by polishing.
One of the most important requisites
for a good plate of fruit is uniformity.
Each apple should look as nearly like
, every ether apple on the plate ns is
I I'ossible. This means not only that all
! should be of the same sire, but of the
| same shape and color. A man may
, have one large, well formed, richly-col
ored specimen, uud br uses this to bol
ster up a plate of four fair-colored, mc
1 dium-sized fruits. It is u serious mis*
) take. The plate should be made uni*
! form, even though two or three excep
I tionally fine specimens have to be left
out.
A uniform well selected plate.
Every one knows that blemishes
; should have no place on exhibition
fruit, but sometimes the question
! arises as to what constitutes n blem
ish. Unquestionably rotten spots, the
j black marks of sooty blotch and apple
j scab, worm holes. San Jose scale
. marks, and the like, are blemishes, but
what about broken stems, finger prints,
and russet spots on apples that should
not be russeted? These and other* arb
blemishes and will detract from the
exhibit.
In general, be sure the fruit is cor
rectly named. Is of the proper form Tor
the variety, is somewhat above me
dium size, well-colored, and, above, all,
“uniform In size, shape and color and
free from blemishes."

FARMERS SHOULD RAISE MORE HOGS
There are 328,188 hogs in West Vi
ginia, and by comparing this numbt
with the number of people who inhab
the state, which is 1,221,119, we find a
average of one hog to every 3.72 pe
sons. This ratio does not seem so ii
congruous until we consider the clat
of pcople#of which the population <
this Btate'is composed. This being
mining state, naturally a large propo
tion of the people are foreigners, an
we find that the foreign people ar
greateir'meat eater than the America
people.
A good brood sow.
The present price of hogs is fioi
11 to 14 cent* per pound dressed, c
to 9% cents live weight. This I
far above the prtce quoted by the vi
rious live stock markets, and as Ion
as these conditions exist, the peopl
of this state should be able to find a
exceptionally good market for all th
hog« they are able to raise.
Why, then, when the demand fc
pork In this state is so great, an
when there also exists a relative hlg
price for farm products, does the pr<
gresslve farmer not turn his thought
and interests to the production t
more hogs on his farm?
The success or failure of this undei
taking would depend upon the kin
ntid quality of hog the farmer usei

Corn is one of the best feeds for hogs,

'are rich in protein. Hither one of the
