PRACTICUMS 
1. Jupctnc Surer.—Provide one or more sheep of the wool and 
mutton class. Students should familiarize themselves with the de- 
tails of this score card and fix in their minds the relative weights 
of the different regions. If it is possible to have available several 
sheep for scoring ‘so as to place the several individuals in rank from 
best individual down to poorest individual the value of the exercise 
will be increased and more interest will be added to it.
