from Fridays Daily.
The Free Press Printing company of
Mankato announces the publication of a
new agricultural monthly periodical,
whose first number will appear on April
|, and will be known to. the public as
The Western Farmer and Dairyman.
Although ave can say nothing further of
the purpose and contents of the sheet,
we think we are safe in venturing the
opinion, that this monthly will find pat
ronage among the farmers. For this
there is the good reason that the well
known expert, w. w. p. Mcconnell, for
four years dairy and food commissioner
of the state of Minnesota, and known
far beyond the boundaries of his own
state as practical farmer, has taken in
charge the editorsnip of the publication.

Big Game This Afternoon.

Out on the college field, the last, and
football pla, i h "a =,
will occur this afternoon. 1t viii be a
game between two strong %elevens, each
striving to prove their superiority to the
Oregon team by defeating the other.
No doubt the Salem team will come
confident of winning the contest. The
splendid showing they made against
Eugene. their triumph over the old M,
A. A. G. which, combined with their
strong record for the season, signifies
that they will be able to produce the real
article when they face the OAC bunch on
the gridiron. Coach Bishop has seen the
Corvallis boys in action ard of. course is
fam liar with their style Of play.
The farmer boys, too, have been fgur-
ing in the game. Coa'.' s. k. has
been giving his men a touch of the
'~strenuous'' life every eve, ing. The
boys have been playing fl TT ball and
doing better work at practice than at any
E- 81 H. E.H- w.
previous time this season. The shifting
of Walker from center to tackle has
glea " improved the lineup. The big
fellow will undoubtedly be a good ground
gamer in today's game. Dolan, the other
tackle, will be able to manage things on
|his side of the line. His star perform
ances at the previous games will proba-
bly, be duplicated when old Fuzzy
Wnzzy" faces the big VS.,
Whatever be the outcom.. of. the game,
it will, be a good exhibition of the popu-
lar sport. OAC will hammer the line
with her Piledriving backs. She will
smash through with her big tackles and
in the end it is quite possible that the
score will show that these players e. 4
curry the hall down the field. The de-
fense will be better than at Oregon,
Willamette's famous line backs will be
met bv a tower of defensive strength
The game will tell the story; no score
will he perdicted, but a warm reception
to the Methodist boys will be a certain.
