1t is not known, even approximately,

Two severe earthquake shocks were
felt in Mexico City. The first shock
lasted four minutes and twenty-eight
seconds. No lives were lost and the
property damage was insignificant, al
though numerous walls were cracked
by the motion of the earths waves.
The shock was very similar to that
left in this city about year ago, the
oscillations being that of long, sway
ing variety. At the national observa
tory it was stated that the needle oi
the seismograph travelled the entire
distance of the dial.
That no property loss resulted is
due, according to the scientists, to the
fact that the City of Mexico rests on
the spongy bed of an old lake.

Doc Mans Worst Enemy.

The dog, till now credited with
being mans best friend was pill
loried as the embodiment of all
that is evil in a string of adjec-
tives compiled by F. d. Coburn,
secretary of the state board of
agriculture. The denunciation
was called forth by farmer in
Norton county writing to Mr..
Coburn for advice on sheep
raising. Here is an extract from
Mr.. Coburn's reply:
Morton county in 1905 had
LOO dogs and 152 sheep, in
creasing the dogs lead eighty
five the following year despite
the fact that no other county
would prove more profitable for
sheep raising. The dog is worth
less, sycophantic, lawn defling,
fea-breeding, fiy-snapping, porch

other domestic animal in I'M
speakable habits of nastiness
and a sneaking, murderous COW
ard, prowling all the country
side by night, harmonizing with
the harmless. beneficent sheep
only after the sheep is inside his
stomach, it's wool in his teeth,
and his jaws dripping with its
blood.
And now the Norton county
farmer has doubtless learned
how to raise sheep and sees the

What K. S. A. G. Students will Do.

Kansas Agricultural college
graduated la students, the larg-
est graduating class in it's his
tory, June Is at Manhattan. The
classes apportionment in regard
to courses was, domestic science,
46; general science, Is; agricul
ture, II; electrical engineering,
6; architectural, 4; veterinary a.
Of the % electrical engineers,
nearly all are farm boys. Six
teen of this class already have
permanent positions in profes-
sional work. Two of the others
hope to teach and the others are
looking for special kind of
work.
OF the II graduates from the
agricultural course, a majoritor
'ity return to the farms, others
are to teach sciences, including
agriculture in high schools. Some
are to go into government SER
vice. while two or three have
been employed by the college as
laboratory assistants.
The veterinary graduates will
go into active practice as soon as
they can decide where their ser
vices are likely to be in greatest
demand.
The domestic science gradu-
ates have, many things in mind.
Some will teach domestic science
and art in high schools and col
leges, some will teach other sub
jects in high schools, some will
teach in the grades, some will re
turn to their homes, and it is
rumored that some will soon pre-
side over homes of their own.
The graduates in mechanical
engineering will all go into shops
and manufacturing concerns.
The class president, W. T. Nc
Call, will return to the big home
farm in Trego county, taking
special charge of the livestock.
Mr.. Mccall has been working on
an experiment of great value to
the stock interests of Kansas,
the digestibility of different feeds
including prairie hay and alfalfa,
using sheep in the experiment.
This is the first experiment of
the kind ever undertaken in the
West and will be continued for
several years. Mr.. Mccall may
probably continue the feeding
experiments on the home farm
next year but of course without
the delicate tests and scales.
1t is said no class ever did a
greater amount of original work
in the several courses. If this
great college of agriculture and
mechanical arts can continue to
send out every year such a
strong class as this one Kansas
will be realizing handsomely on
its investment at Manhattan.
