HIS is not the first edition of the Book of Live Stock Champions, and we hope it will, not be the last. The intention is now to make it an Annual, issuing one book each year. This represents the issue of the year 1912, and may be regarded as Volume No. 1, because it contains the best sub- jects of all former editions. If there are any famous animals conspicur usly absent from this volume, future editions will make up the deficiency. The publisher will not rest until all improved breeds are represented by their most meritorious and famous animals. ± ■ Photograph by R. J.
