Adjacent to these is an exhibit of sheepskins by the Massey Agricultural College, showing the different methods of dyeing and how faults can # develop through injury to the live animal. Fifty-two pupils of the Palmerston North Boys’ High School this morning engaged in a judging competition on a dairy cow. JUDGING COMPETITIONS. SCHOOL PUPILS DISPLAY THEIR . • SKILL.
