Expert to Head New Animal Nutri
ton Department.

A new department of Animal Nj
triton has just been established by
the University of California. To head
this important work the regents have
called Professor F. w. Woll of the
University of Wisconsin, one of the
most distinguished authorities in
America on the feeding of dairy cows,
the improvement of production in
dairy herds, etc. His standing is il
Illustrated by the following comment
on his appointment, as appearing in
recent issue of the Breeders Ga
zette:
professor T. w. Woll, who for the
past twenty-six years has contributed
much to the advancement of dairy
practice, and who has been in charge
of the state feed and fertilizer in
spection service at the University of
Wisconsin since its establishment in
1895, has accepted the craftsmanship
of the Department Of Animal Nutri-
ton at the University of California
College of Agriculture and will take
up his duties at that place in a short
time.
professor VOL was graduated
from the Royal Frederick's University
at Christiania, Norway, in 1883. He
was given an advanced degree by the
University of Wisconsin in 1904. In
point of service he is the oldest men,
Der of the agricultural. staff there.
His most valuable work has been of
a chemical research and experimental
nature. His Book on Silage,' pub
lished in 1895, was pioneer in its
class. The experiments in sugar beet

culture which from 1897 to 1905 he
carried on with Professor R. A. Moore
have done much to develop this in
dustry in Wisconsin. In cooperation
with Professor George c. Humphrey
of the Animal Husbandry department,
Professor Vol completed a series of
tests on the influence of feeding high
protein rations to dairy cattle.
"The rules, formulas and regulations
systematized by Professor VOL and
Professor Carlyle for the testing of
dairy cows in 1901 have been adopt
ed by breeders all over the country.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-10

The handbook written by Professor
Wolf giving the proper methods in use
for testing dairy herds was printed
in twenty-one different editions, and
is used as a standard text book in
the dairy schools. The official tests
of dairy cows were begun in 1898, and
Professor Woll, with the assistance
of Roy T. Harris since 1905, has ac-
complished much in the way Of dis
seminating information regarding the
use of the Babcock tester and the
keeping of accurate records of dairy
COW production. 1t is with regret that

these same fierce animals were in turn
mired, and, together with their vic
tins, became, in turn, the food for
gigantic birds of prey, who swooped
down upon them out of the sky. These
birds also in turn fought with their
victims and among themselves, and
also fell into the grip of the sticky
mire, and SO altogether they persisted;
sinking deeper and deeper out Of sight
in the pits until they were entirely
covered by the petroleum, which has
preserved them so we'll and perfectly
until our time.
Thus we are enabled to take a peep
into past so remote that the mind
fails to grasp the measureless ages
that have come and gone since these
terrible monsters roamed around the
foot of that and other trees. AS I
stood there, tried to picture myself
clinging to it's highest branches and
watching the animal tragedy going on
below; when the strong devoured the
weak and helpless, and the silent sky
and midnight stars looked down with
out sign of pity, or any kind of eff
fort to relieve their suffering. Such
a find is rare indeed-the rarest treas
ure that geological science has yet dis
covered-and our greater city sister,
Los Angeles, is to be congra tulated
upon possessing such treasure as
will assure her fame in all the sci
entific centers of the world; as we'll
as upon the intelligence of her own
citizens which has led them, through
their county officers, to assume all the
needed expense of the undertaking,
which is going to enrich all the great
museums of the world and add so
much to our scanty knowledge of the
ancient world.

The Peace Movement in 1913

Yale Review: 1t is no wonder, then,
that some people ask: "What has be-
come of the peace movement? Are
not the peace workers discouraged
before this outburst of savagery, be-
fore this revival of militarism? Has
the peace cause made any gains in
the fact of these things? Can it show
any cause for our allegiance and our
energies? ?" The answer is that, in
spite of all these seeming setbacks, the
peace movement, proceeding quietly
along beside the din of war, has made
during 1918 some of the most notable
gains of recent years; and one or two
steps have been taken that hold more
promise of the ultimate substitution of
judicial methods for war in the set
Element of international disputes than
anything that has happened since the
calling of the first Hague Conference.
1t is well to emphasize these gains
constantly in this year Of wars and
frenzied militarism.

Cattle Feeding Experiments by Uni
versity and Cattlemen.


What is the most profitable way to
fatten cattle for market?
Extensive feeding experiments with
beef cattle to answer this question
have been arranged for by the Ami
NAL Husbandry division of the Uni
versity of California and two of the
largest live stock companies of the
Pacific coast.
One set of experiments, in which
sugar beet pulp is the base ration, is
being carried on at the Bloomfield
ranch of Miller & Lux at Gilroy. Here
four carloads of steers are being eX-
perimented with. Different amounts
and combinations of roughage, includ-
ing alfalfa, barley and rye grass hay,
are being fed in conjunction with beet
pulp, with view to determining which
of the rations may be most profitably
fed.
The more extensive experiments are
being conducted at the feeding station
of the Western Meat Company at
Lovelock, New. Many thousands of
head of beef cattle have been fattened
annually at this feeding center, but in
the past alfalfa only has been fed, and
the results have been considered sat-
isfactory. With the upward trend of
prices of meat, however, the question
of the advisability of feeding grain
in connection with alfalfa has become
live one, and this year for the first
time grain is being fed by the West
ern Meat Company. The work is be-
ing conducted experimentally and in
cooperation with the University of
California, whose representative is in
charge of the weighing of feed and
cattle and the keeping of the records
of the work. Six lots of steers aver
aging 225 head each are being fed on
different grain rations. Corn, barley
COUUOiSSCu pCCU pup diiu
Sperry feed are being fed to the vari-
Gus lots, and for comparison other
weighed lots are getting alfalfa only
In one case the hay is fed long and
in another it is chopped.
1t is seldom that it has been pos
sible for an institution to take part
in such extensive experimental work
as this and the results are being an
ticipated with great interest. That
the new status of the meat market of
the country will call for improved
methods of feeding on the Pacific coast
is foregone conclusion. That these
experiments may help to blaze the way
is hoped.
The university has a representative
at each of the feeding stations named

and Cattle Company, and number of
others.
One of the questions which will
probably be decided at that time will
be the procedure in marketing the
three townsites which the syndicate
has announced that it will place on
the market, along with the acreage.
Land held by the company under
the North End Water Company, lying
between New and Alamo rivers, is
now on the market at $85 without wa
ter stock, though with stock in the
company named available at $40 a
share, and this land is already selling
freely.

fesnnina n coxote.


The coyote Is one Of the sliest and
hardest Of all fur bearing animals to
trap. He delights In digging up traps,
springing them, eating the bait and
otherwise disturbing the set without
getting caught His sense Of smell is
very acute. The best way to trap him
Is to build bonfire over the set after
the traps have been properly placed.
Throw into the embers some bacon
rinds, chicken bones or, better yet.
bones Of sage hen or grouse. The coyote
habitually searches about campfres
for stray bits Of meat and Is therefore
less wary. The fire obliterates the
traces of the set, eliminates the tracks
and smell of q human being, and the
odor of the burned meat will attract
him from a long distance. He is more
likely to walk into the trap thus dis
guised with the remnants Of camp
fire than any other unless you have a
carcass literally surrounded with traps
with a severe winter Oh and no other
carcasses within miles.-W. F. Wilcox

Artistic Temperament Cured.

1t will be news to many Of her myri-

artist Titiens used to suffer from a
bad temper. and in these outbursts
she felt n strong desire to smash any
thing that came handy" How Titiens
was ultimately cured Of the habit Mr..

"She was sitting mt supper after con-
cert In n provincial town when the
manager made some remark which an
noyed her. AS usual she took the first
thing that came to hand. soda water
bottle, and flung 1t at him. The man
agcr was sitting Mt the table with his
back to the window. The bottle miss
ed him, smashed through the window
and nearly killed casual passerby.
This. said Titiens. gave her such q
shock that she was completely cured
Of her failing."-Pall Mall Gazette.
