W J Wilmer argues that show sheep bred for display cannot reliably pass on desirable family traits for wool and meat. He cautions against extreme artificial selection and favors exposing stock to field conditions. The article reports carcass results from Chicago, noting Southdown dominance in prizes and strong meat yield, with Hampshire crossbreds notable. Prices for Southdown champion lamb carcasses averaged strong, while quarter blood wools remain in demand as worsted fabrics boost coarse wool sales.

Steer Feeding and Manure Value from Feeds
Maine experiment station findings by M Bartlett show feed choice affects both flesh gain and manure value. Cottonseed meal boosts nitrogen phosphorus and potassium in manure, while low-fertilizer feeds yield poorer manure. Saving and recycling manure can justify pricier feeds with stronger fertilizing content.
Squid manure praised for nitrogen and potash value
Experiments show a large chart of nitrogen and potash, key fertilizing elements, are found in urine. The squid portion of the manure contains these constituents in larger, more available quantities than solid excreta, making it the most valuable part to save carefully.
