BEAR STORIES
FROM CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Preparations for
Mtnneapolis were resumed on Stage
neld yesterday. Exuberant Mid
way followers, who have been expect
ing a sweeping march toward the con-
ference championship, are experiencing
apprehension since the contest between
chicago and Northwestern on Satur-
day.
With Gray, Kennedy, Goettler and
Pierce ailing, 1t appears that the re-
serves will necessarily be used at some
stage of the Minnesota game. None is
hurt seriously, but it will be necessary
for the Midway trainers to exercise
the greatest skill to put them in shape
to last through the whole contest with
the heavy Gophers. They will be re-
and nursed into condition by the light
er tactics of signal practise and SPRING
Ing.
Worry OVer Quarterback.
The great source of worry for the
Midway students and Director Stage is
the precarious position in which the
quarterback job is placed. Boyd not
only failed to cover himself with laur-
els. as an alternate with Russell against
northwestern, but showed himself q
wholly impossible substitute in a deci-
sive contest. His delay in running off
signals would have been fatal against
any but q crippled team. His percent
age at receiving punts ran into the
minus side, for he muffed every punt
he did not misjudge altogether.

its species ever brought to Fleetwood.
The funny belongs to the mackerel
family, having somewhat the appear
ance of gigantic mackerel, and is a
rare visitor to British waters. 1t is
southern fish, particularly abundant il
the Mediterranean, where the fisheries
are of great antiquity, and is today
much in demand for its edible qualities
in the countries bordering on that sea.
The Phoenicians established extensive
fisheries for funny, and as an indica-
ton of their value the funny appears
on the medals of Cadiz and Carteia.
Unfortunately, the specimen here
shown is wrinkled in the lower portion
of the body, owing to its not being
hoisted clear of the ground when being
photographed. and the fish is leaning
on its tail, consequently wrinkling it. A
funny weighing three and half hun
dredweight and about eight feet long.
and another specimen of the same
species said to be "just under II feet
in length and weighing six and half
hundredweight, were caught in the
North sea and landed at East Coast
fishing ports during the month of Sep
tember this year. The Mediterranean
funny is allied to the tuna of the Cali
fornian coast, and both these fish may
be obtained in this country preserved

quarters, and a 7-months-old negro
baby daughter of Sherman Whiting

which the fire started, was burned to

Growing young pigs can be truth
who is a good pig grower must like
the work and be willing to look after
the many details that demand atten-
tion, and it will pay and pay big re-
turns.
Some think that the breeding, and
growing of hogs is a crowded occu-
patton; but there is always room for
the best breeders and the best feed
ers at the top, even though the bust
ness is crowded by the average class
of swine growers.
No hog farm equipment is complete
without good dipping vat, and 1t
should be used frequently during the
summer and early fall.
There is no one thing that will do
more to maintain health in the herd
than the judicious use of the dipping
vat.
1t is far better to underfeed than TO
overfeed the SOW after she has farrow-
ed, but she must be fed sufficient to
keep her quiet.
1t is better for the sow if the yards
are so arranged that she can go a
few rods for her feed and drink.
Stock that is raised for breeding
purposes and stock that is raised for
market must be treated differently.
If we feed for pork there is lack
of bone, muscle and constitution in
our breeding stock.

general health of the herd and makes
it possible to have corners and other

PLANT ALFALFA
TO IMPROVE SOIL
Less Expense and Work Required
to Handle Than Grain Crop
High Feed Value.

tBy W c. PALMER, North Dakota EN-
pertinent Station)
One ton of alfalfa hay has the same
feeding value as 60 bushels of oats
Alfalfa can be expected to average at
least two tons per acre. This is the
equivalent of 120 bushels of oats.
There is no land that will average 100
bushels of oats-in fact it takes good
land and good handling to average so
bushels of oats per acre.
The alfalfa requires less work and
less expense to handle than a grain
crop. And the alfalfa will improve
the soil while the oat crop will reduce
its productive power To get this
value from alfalfa it must be fed on
the farm.
1t needs to be kept in mind that the
alfalfa is a roughage.

There is great tendency on the
part of many to neglect the colts on
the farm during the winter, says
Minnesota bulletin. Ii too often hap
pens that there is apparent shortage
of feed, and the result is that colts
are sighted. One way Of running a
young colt is to have his growth
stunted during the first year or two.
Most of the colts on the farm get a
good start the first six months of
their lives. from the fact that they
are allowed 10 suckle the dam during
that time. Early fall provides them
with good pasture, and possibly they
have been receiving some oats or
shared part of the feed of the mare.
Such treatment puts them in good
shape for the winter, but liberal feed
ing must be kept up if a strong, we'll
developed and matured horse Is ex-
pected.
The colts system requires con-
siderable amount of bone and mus
cle-building material, and this can
only be had by feeding nitrogenous
feeds, such as oats, a little bran. oil
meal: and, if obtainable, some clover
hay. The feeding of corn, so often
practiced, is not desirable for the
growing colt, but had better be con-
fined to the matured horses. Access
to the straw pile will not hurt a
growing colt, but it should not be
compelled to rely on the straw pile
for livelihood.
The question is often asked: Why
do we find so many promising colts
at the county fairs during the fall,
and such poor yearlings? The fore
going statement is in part explanatory
