APPENDi:: 



If a calf is dropped on September 10, 1916, and is to be shown 

 at the 1917 Internationa] Live Stock Exposition, he must be 

 entered as a senior. If dropped on February 10th, he must be 

 entered as a Junior. This arrang'ement provides for two groups 

 of animals of the calf class, where the conditions of size and age 

 will be fair for comparison in each class. At many fairs ages of 

 horses and foals date from January 1st. 



A classification after the above form may apply to either horses, 

 cattle, sheep or swine. Variations occur in classifications, accord- 

 ing to local conditions, but the present day live stock show re- 

 quires exhibitors to enter all live stock exhibits on an age basis. 

 The following are examples taken from a prominent state fair 

 premium list, showing ag'e classes provided for horses, cattle, 

 sheep and swine.
