STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The faculty Of the State University, at Min
neapolts, has proposed a change in the work
of the dental department. Heretofore the first
part of the course in dentistry has been very
much like that pursued by medical stu snts.
Next year this will be changed and less med
ical work required but there will be more
technical analysis of the metals used and
especially of the alloys
In the department of physical culture, some
additional work Is to be given the students.
Miss K1ehle, who spent last year in study
at the school of Interpretation in Boston, will
introduce voice training in connection with
the other work. This is something which
will be appreciated by those engaged in the
work. Everybody realizes that clear artic-
uiation and correct use of the organs of
speech would be great bep to many of our
public speakers.
Since the opening of the spring term, last
week, the committees in the various depart
ments have been kept busy but things are
ABOUT settled, and term of successful work is
anticipated. Athletics again occupy portion
of the student mind. and candidates for the
U. of NJ. base ball team can daily be seen
practicng on the campus. The cadet corps
have also begun outdoor drills earlier than
usual.

COCHRANE, Wis, March LIT will
be surprise to most people to know
that the lordly buffalo that once roam
ed the Western plains in countless
numbers have come down in these days
to the level of ordinary cattle, to be
bred on a farm. About six years ago
1 started a buffalo farm at this place
and have succeeded in making a COM
plete success Of the venture. The stock
of the farm first consisted of three
young bison, bull and two COWS. This
stock has increased and multiplied, I'M
til today [ have a herd of twenty-five
full-blooded bison and about eighteen
bulls and heifers, which have been
produced by crossing the buffalo with
domestic animals
The crossing has been particularly
successful, as the half-b bred animals,
besides possessing the size, stregth
and endurance of the buffalo, are as
docile as the ordinary animals of the
farm. Their fur is particularly fine,
they mature earlier than domestic cat
tie, their flesh is wholesome and ten
der, and they can stand considerably
more exposure in the winter than do
the domestic cattle.
Calf Every Other Year.
My experiments have shown that as
a rule the buffalo COW raises a calf
every other year. The births usually
take place between the months of Feb
ruary and July. We allow the calf to
run with the mother for three or four
months. Then the little animal is
weaned. This is done for two reasons.
Firstly, we find that we can better do
mesticate the calves when they are
separated from their mothers, and,
secondly, when deprived of the pres
ence of the calf the mother will soon
err present the owners of the stock farm
with another one
The difficulties of buffalo farming are
not so great as would be expected by
those who have not experimental. Ac-
cording to the popular idea the buffalo
farmer would have frequent fierce en-
counters with the wild stock that he is
trying to raise. There is no such
trouble. We turn the herd out to pas
ture with merely barb wire fence to
keep them from straying. We have

yet to find that they make any effort
to escape. The only thing to guard
against in building the fence is to make
1T just high enough to prevent the ami
mails from jumping over. This is one
Of the things that we have to teach the
calves at an early age. Taken in hand
young and properly trained they be-
come as tame as the domestic animal.
Up to the age of two years the calves
are inclined to be frisky and have to
be taught that any attempt to jump
over or break down fences will meet
with prompt punishment They very
soon learn that lesson, and once hav-
ing learned it they give us no trout BILE,
provided the fence is properly con-
structed.
The Buffalo Wagon.
An interesting addition to the outfit
to the buffalo farm is the buffalo
wagon, which will be seen in the ac-
companying illustration. Occasionally
there is born on the farm buffalo that
develops into a most unruly rebel. Any
attempt to hitch such an animal to a
wagon results in one of two things,
either the buffalo runs away with the
wagon and never stops running until
the whole outfit is demolished and pos
sibly he himself MANNED or killed, or
else he lets out with his rear hoofs and
tries to kick the wagon to pieces. In
either event the valuable stock Of the
farm is sure to suffer.
The buffalo wagon is the remedy for
this, and 1T never fails to work like a
charm when the unruly animal is taken
in hand early enough in his turbulent
career. 1t is made with hollow cen
trail section large enough for the buff
falo to stand up in and move with
ease. In front of him, where his horns
will strike if he attempts any butting
tricks, is a heavily braced wooden par
tition, while behind him, where his
heels would strike, in case he attempt
ed to get square with a supposed en-
envy in his rear, there is similarly
fortified section Of woodwork.
Wants to Butt Things.
He is securely hitched to this ap-
pliance, which is made to move on
wheels, and it is then driven around the
farm. The first impulse Of the buffalo,
as he feels himself dragged along
against his will by force that he can
not resist, is to lower his horns and
let drive with blind rage at the wood
work in front of him. After he has
tried this experiment for half an hour
or so and finds that he has made no i'm
preston on the enemy, while his own
horns have been pretty nearly demol-
ished in the attack. he reasons with
himself, after the buffalo manner that
at last he has met more than his match.
and decides to adopt different methods
of attack.
Then his hoofs come into action. 1t
IS not very easy thing for him to use
these latter means of offense, as the
merciless wagon is driven around and
round the farm, and he has little
chance Of using his hoofs except for
