With the opening Of the University
in the fall sof 1908, the probabilities
are very strong that the faculty and
students will enjoy the convenience
OF three additional magnificent brick
and stone buildings, since the magni-
ficent sum Of s15O,OOO has been gem
erously appropriated by the LesIsla-
ture. to be applied for new buildings
at the University,
These buildings, like those first
erected, will be no shoddy affairs. but
first-cIass and modern in every re-
spect, and structures that would be a
credit to any university in the world.
They viii be college buildings. espe-
cially adapted for the purpose for
which they are intended, and will add
great deal to the appearance and
the convenience of Florida's pride
the new University of the State of
Florida.
Those who have not visited the Uni
yersity grounds really cannot compre-
bend what a fine institution, and what
a beautiful place 1t is now. The prog
ress has been wonderful, as we'll as
energetic. with the result that the
University IN its infancy in Gaines
vile Is great deal larger than the
old East Florida Seminary ever was,
in its most fourlshing days, and as
a matter of course, there is no com
parison in Nthe class Of buildings.
The grounds are beautifully laid out,
the athletic field Is modern, the expert
mental farm is as modern as can be
found anywhere, considering the time
It has been established, and alto
gether there is a general air of neat
ness and system.

IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES AT CLOSING

DR.. Hay made a strong appeal to the
young men Of the Y. M. G. A.. basine
his remarks on John, II, IA, Il have
Written unto you, young men, because

Mr. Hay pointed out that Christian.
ity appeals particularly to strong
young men, and showed how Jesus was
an ideal young man because. Of his
manliness ana strength. Young men
have physical contests that tests their
strength; Jesus Christ, as a young
man. had contests and struggles that
tested His strength and in all He
came out conqueror. The young man
who Is to enter q physical or intel,
lectual contest must sacrifice some
of his desire in order that he may
prepare himself for the struggle; ne
is called upon by Christ to sacrifice
many Of his desires that he may win
in the contest with temptation The
young men of today have that "call

young men, young men who win add

The sermon closed with a stirring
account Of the victories Christianity
Is winning and Of how yearly more
and more young men are seeking for
its standard.
The exercises of the evening were
ended by prayer by President sledd,

POINTS ON FATTENING
OF RANGE LAMBS
Comparison Tested Under Supervision OF
b. e. Carmichael, of Ohio Experiment Station

roughage so rejected and used was
for the most part not suitable Tor
food, being made up largely of grain
stubbe and the rougher portions of
the stems of the hay plants.
A mixture of salt, four parts, and
sulphur, one part was supplied to the
lambs, one and one-fourth pounds be-
ing given to each lot of 40 head twice
weekly.
Throughout the experiment the
lambs were taken from the pens once
each week to be weighed, but aside
from this were seldom out of the pens,
which afforded only a trifie over seven
square feet per lamb. Although these
range lambs had previously been ac-
customed to an abundance of outdoor
exercise, they seemed to suffer no in
convenience from the close confine-
ment.
The following is a summary of what
seem to be the most important re-
suits of this test. All, lots received the
same amount of clover and alfalfa for
roughage daily per lamb. Further
work along this line is in progress and
will be reported later.
Lot l., fed grain ration OF corn,
made lower gains in live weight than
did any of the other lots. When
shipped to market they shrank less
in weight than did any of the other

food to produce pound of gain than
did any of the other lots, but pro-
duced gains at less cost per pound

lot 4.

On account OF the Importance of
the sheep feeding industry and the
need for accurate information con-
corning rations and management, the
animal husbandry department of the
Ohio station has begun series of ex-
periments in fattening sheep. The ex-
pertinent which is described here was
, conducted during the winter of 1905
'o6 by Mr.. s. ]. Fryer at his farm in
Wayne county, In cooperation with
the animal husbandry department OF
the station.
The lambs used in this experiment,
100 head, fed in four lots of 40 each,
were all wethers, selected from flock
of 65S head which Mr.. Fryer had pur-
chased for his winter feeding. The
lambs were selected with view to
securing uniformity of lots and uni
formity of the lambs within each lot.
There was an excellent opportunity
for such selection, and none of the
lots possessed an apparent advantage
over any other lot so far as ability to
make gains was concerned.
The entire flock was allowed to

fined to the barn for the entire day

stock food respectively, were given
small allowances of these materials
before the experiment began. No
vember &c. when the experiment be-
gan, each lot of 40 lambs received 30
pounds of total concentrates. A lib
eral supply of mixed hay was fed
from the time the lambs were first put
into the barn.
The four lots of lambs received
grain rations as follows:
Lot j. corn.
Lot 2, corn and cottonseed meal
Lot 8, corn and linseed oil meal
Lot 4, corn and stock food.
Each days ration was fed in two
equal portions; grain was fed at
seven a. m. and four p. m, followed
by hay in each instance. The lambs
soon became accustomed to this regu-
the time when the morning feed had
been eaten and the time for feeding
in the afternoon, were usually very
quiet.
Bedding was supplied in sufficient
quantities to keep the pens in good
condition. The straw used for this
purpose was for the greater part oat
straw, although small amount of
wheat straw was used. Each pen
was supplied with straw for bedding
about once every five days. the aver
age daily amount used for each pen
being 1923 pounds. The rejected por-
ton of the roughage was used for bed
ding, being returned, after weighing,
to the lot which refused it. The

The Ten Commandments of
Apple Growing

Here are the ten commandments of
apple growing as formulated by Hon.
w. S. Hansen of Utah:
1. Thou shalt only after due DELHI
Grafton and much study and research,
decide to plant apples at all.
2. Thou shalt make sure that thy
soil is well adapted and properly
drained and that the climate is also
favorable for the production of per-
feet fruit, before ernbarking in this
business.
3. Thou shalt learn much about the
diseases of fruit trees, such as crown
gall. wColy aphis. hairy root, etc. so
thou canst detect these diseases thy
self before planting.
4. Thou shalt plant only two or
three standard varieties best adapted
to grow in thy neighborhood.
8. Thou shalt in selecting varieties,
also bear in mind that the best sell
ing apples are the best to grow even
II they do not suit thy palate as well.
6. Thou shalt, under no circum-
stances, be influenced by the tree
agents beautifully colored plates or
samples OF rare varieties shown in
glass bottles
Z. Thou shalt. in the purchase Of

other lots, save lot A, shrank most
during shipment to market, and yield
ed the lowest total dressed weight and
the lowest dressed percentage. The
cost of gain was higher for lot than
for any other lot, save lot 3.
Lot 8, fed grain ration of corn,
five parts, linseed oil meal, one part,
made lower gains than did any of the
other lots, save lot 1. This lot shrank
more during shipment and yielded a
lower dressed percentage than did
any of the other lots, save lot 2. The
cost per pound gain was higher with
lot 8 than with any of the other lots.
Lot 4, fed a grain ration of corn
and stock food. made slightly greater
gains and cheaper gains than did any
of the other lots. They shrank less
in shipping and yielded higher per-
centage of dressed weight than did
any of the other lots, save lot l. One
lamb died in this lot during the ex-
pertinent.
The feeding of cottonseed meal and
of linseed oil meal to lots 2 and 8, re-
spectively, increased the value of the
manure produced by these lots. The
extra cost of the rations, however,
more than equaled the increased value
of the manure.
Lots 3. and 4. in the order men,
toned, refused less roughage than
did lot 1, indicating that the feeding
of heterogeneous concentrates or of
stock food has tendency to increase
the consumption of roughage.

coinage. According to the society.
$4,000 should be appropriated for
each of the ten denominations. OF
which awards of $1,000 each should
be given to the six best designers for
each coin and an award of $4,000 to
the winner of the six in each class.
