THE "FAIKING" OF SHEEP.
'A WANG AN UI SUGGESTION. After stating tliafc the annual meeting of tho Wanganui Agricultural Association is to bo held on April 12, the "Wanganui Chroniclo" says:— "Tho matter of faking show sheep has been pretty freely discussed of late, without any hnality, having been arrived.at. ' Tho. Agricultural Associations generally place the onus on tiie judges, and tho judges 'retaliate by sayingWhy do, not the associations take tho bull by tho horns and absolutely forbid the exhibition of faked sheep? Prominent; breeders. say. if they do then they will not exhibit, for tho sheen which are shorn at the spring shows, then shorn ill December, would show to' a disadvantage with the sheep which had been shorn early in. the season. Thus ii' goes oil. But there is 110 doubt that the art of clipping is being resorted to to such an exfent that it is high time our principal associations. made a firm stand and encouraged sheep being shorn under natural conditions. As the new commitoe will take office on Apri} 12, _ members' might, by expressing their opinions, give'some intlicatiqns to the committee as to whether tho faked sheep is to'be tabooed from the show .ring."
