tion as debased or alien to our humanity." The book is ideal in 

 its straight-forward simple method of approaching this most 

 important subject and it forms a worthy guide to be used in setting 

 the feet of youth in the path of chastity and righteous living. 

 Judging Farm Animals by Charles S. Plumb, Professor of Animal 

 Husbandry in Ohio College of Agriculture, Orange Judd Co., 



*2.25. 



Any book written by Professor Plumb is sure to be interesting 

 and this volume is no exception. It begins with a clear and incisive 

 discussion of form and function which gives the basis for judging 

 animals. The Score Card and its use are fully explained; then 

 follows chapters on judging horses, cattle — sheep, and swine. 

 Each chapter contains a study of the internal anatomy of the animal 

 and of the different types which have been developed ; what makes 

 this book of special practical value is that a Scale of Points is 

 given for each breed of farm animal. At the end of the book there 

 are given the rules governing live stock judging contests and the 

 rules of students' contests in judging dairy cattle at the National 

 Dairy Show of 1916. It is a well writcen, clear and comprehen- 

 sive book fitted equally well for the farm library and also for a 

 text in agricultural colleges.
