I At the Fat Stock Show 
! 'riiero is a flat cap iibout eight inches 
wide on tin' fence tiround the judging 
I arena of Dexter I’iirk Ptivilion ;it the 
stock show. It is .about hnaist high, just 
high enough to form a rest for the arms. 
Farmeji’s and stockmen tire wont to sttiiul 
here for hours at a stretch, and while 
touching elbows with one aiiotlier swap 
experiences. d'hi'y could just as well 
occupy comfortable chairs a little higher 
up and further back—the chairs are free 
during the day hut they seem to want to 
get closer to wliat's going on in the ring, 
and where sometimes they may stroke a 
st«>('r or a horse. 
Standing at this I'ail. votc'r.an farmers, 
and youngi'r oih's. too. la'cite ('xiK'rieiices 
that, could they be induced to writi' them 
out and send them to tluur farm jiaiier, 
would be worth a five years' suhsciuiition 
and even more. These are the men who 
never write what they know, not from not 
wanting to give anything away, hut sim¬ 
ply because writing anything would be 
more of a job to them than a day's plow¬ 
ing. Some of these men talk freely, oth- 
ei's cannot h<» induced to t.alk nnh'ss by 
the right kind of (pK-sfioning. and by this 
lu'oce.ss a veritable troiisurt' box is tapped. 
Often men are movi'd to impart valuable 
information from wlmt they s(>e in the 
idng, but more often by the mini talking 
among themselves. 
An Allen County. Ohio, man stood at 
this rail and now and then butted into 
the talk. He is a former widl-known hog 
judge, raised pork himself and at times 
at dilTercnt shows had as many as 20 to 
.‘lO sows, all yearlings, to show. He also 
had the distinction of btung one of the 
original men to take stock to New York 
and reach top-notch price's with what he 
had to sell. lie has a farm of 240 acres 
in his home county. Of his judging ex- 
jeerience he rel.-ites a (pieer occurrence. 
He barred an animal fi'om the money 
after she had taken good prize's from some 
of the best fairs in the cenintry. When 
the owner demnrre'd the jnelge' claimed 
that he was within the rule's. The hog 
was as hliiiel as a belt. Othe'r jnelges Iniel 
failcel te) elisceiver file (h'feK't. lent in the 
ring in which she w.-is prese'ute'd feer his 
judgment there we're a numbe'r eef jieists. 
He at eence ne)tie'e'd that the; seiw bntteel 
into me)st of them, and the'ii he te)e)k 
nu'ans to preive the animal ine'ligihle, al¬ 
though she had iie'ver missed the money 
until she came to him. 
Ane)ther Ohio man told wlmt a stave 
mill hael done feir a 020-acre Irae't of land 
in Henry County. This leunl hael ulti- 
mate'ly been fitted to preedm-e' O.OOO beish- 
e'ls of wheat anel 2.0()0 bushels of cleiver 
se-ed. The stave mill cut up all the elm 
timber, the jirocee'els largely jeeiiel feer the 
lanel at jirices r:mging from .$20 to $40 
an acre. Then it was draineel and maele 
re'ady for crops. This steiry was te)lel by 
IN'tcr Grim, whose lOO-acre fju'in lies near 
New ITavaria. ]\Ir. Grim himse'lf has a 
fine showing in the way of a farm. He 
has improved buildings, raise's Alierdeen 
cattle, iinel pins his faith een milking Sheert- 
horns as dairy stock. He 1ms a hcrel of 
Dnreec-.Terse'y hogs.
