30 LIVE-STOCK Jt'D^INOf 



camping is justifiable on the ground that it serves to keep 

 a horse on all four feet, and is a protection to any one 

 passing about him, since the horse must assume a natural 

 standing position before he is able to kick or strike. 

 Overdone, camping is unsightly and may be resorted to 

 for the purpose of making a low back or bent hocks appear 

 straight. 



Cattle and sheep should be stood up on their feet to 

 enable the judge to get a good look at them, but they may 

 be held in such a manner as to materially alter their lines, 

 handling qualities in the former and conformation in the 

 latter. Such trickery can hardly be accepted as proper, 

 neither can the holding up of a hog's back by keeping 

 down his nose in quest of corn in the litter of the show 

 ring, after having taught him by experience to expect it 

 there.
