This book has been prepared to meet the demand incident to the 

 progress made in livestock husbandry for a more comprehensive, 

 thorough, and systematic study of the judging of animals. The 

 effort has been made in its preparation to take the student and 

 stockman a step further than they have gone heretofore. Part I 

 introduces the principles upon which the practice of judging is 

 founded ; Part II applies to the practice of judging, definition and 

 procedure — the features of animal form to be considered, the means 

 of making observations and practice judging by the score card, 

 demonstrations, comparative and competitive judging. The bal- 

 ance of the work is devoted to special judging, one part being given 

 to each of the following : horses, cattle, sheep, swine, the judging 

 of breeding animals, and livestock shows. The volume is profusely 

 illustrated, typical representatives of the types and breeds being 

 shown in untouched photographs of animals to which championship 

 honors have been awarded.
