MINNESOTA.
Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 9. Coach
Williams has called for slight letup
in the grueling program OF practice for
the Gophers. There was no scrim-
mage for the varsity and may not be
until Saturday, when an extra heavy
workout will be held. Wednesday was
devoted to phantom scrimmage and the
men got long drill in new plays.
There was practice in punting forward
passing and open play formations.
There is talk of shift in the lineup
before the Badger contest. The men
are rounding into shape again and re-
covering from their staleness Capt.
Baston is still bothered with bruised
leg. The freshmen are drilling on Bad
ger plays for experiment on the varsity
later this week.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 9 Heavy rains
Wednesday afternoon confined With
ington's Badgers to the covered field
at the stock pavilion. AS the day was
dull arc lights were turned on and the
men given as hard a days work as
has marked the season. The tradition
al midseason slump has it the Badger
camp and the coaching staff is bending
every effort to get the team back into
the fighting spirit that marked the play
against Chicago.
Reserves were called to scrmmage
the varsity and the Minnesota shift at
tack played by reserves looked as bad
as 1t did when Matten, Scion, and
Bierman we're chief figures in its exc
cution. Wilmington expressed himself
as Disguised at his linemen's defense.
That good offense will be the best
defense against Minnesota ID whiting

Ribbon white Elephant"

Three yards Of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby a great problem as
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something Of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder Mt public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value Of the ribbon
cannot be Judged and the prospective
amount Of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be established. Tho rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
colored and Of exquisite heavy quail
ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
vas postmarked Paterson, N. J. There
was no message inclosed, the package
being addressed simply to 1.-THE Con-
science Fund, Washington, D. c." It
Is presumed that the ribbon itself was
smuggled in and is now surrendered.

HOGS ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Pork Can Be Raised at Less Cost Than
cotton-Animals viii Gather
Their Own Feed.

Hogs are worth about ten cents a
pound on the market-almost as much
as cotton. You can raise twice as
many pounds of hogs per acre as you
can Of cotton and at less cost Take
the hog end Of the proposition.
Plant peas, peanuts, clover, grasses,
chufas, sweet potatoes, sorghum and
the like for hogs. They will gather
their own crop without waste and
every pound they gather is at once con.
yerted into a finished product ready
for the market at q good profit.

There has been an increase Of more
than Al, 100 in the membership of vari-
Gus boys and girls agricultural clubs
conducted by the state agricultural col
leges and the department of agricul-
ture.
Two years ago there were 210,077
members of the various agricultural
club projects in the S3 states covered
by this work. One year ago the mem
bership had grown to 151, 194, exclusive
Of the enrollments in the mother
daughter canning clubs.
This work is being carried on CO.
Operatively in 26 of the SO states in
the northern, central and western ter
ritory by the department of agricul-
ture and the extension departments Of
the state colleges Of agriculture. In
practically every state short courses for
boys and girls and special demonstra-
ton schools have been held at the col
leges and in the field. During the past
year, 1857 club members attended the
N
midwinter courses at the colleges, 96S
of these having their expenses paid by
local contributions as a recognition of
their achievements in club work. OF
the 3S club members who, as cham
pions in their states, districts or coun-
ties two years ago, have become rec
Ognized as National All-Star club men,
bers, 81 are now attending high
schools, agricultural or other colleges,
three of the remaining seven have al
ready graduated from high school. and
one will go to an agricultural college
this next fall.
Experience has shown that the work
in the boys and girls clubs can be
carried on with even greater success
without the aid Of large cash prizes

CONSERVE ALL FARM MANURE
Necessary for Farmer to Save All Fer.
t~ilizers Produced-SheItered Pit
Should Be Made.

During the present potash famine 1t
Is necessary for every farmer to con-
serve carefully all the farm manures
! produced. 1t Is a w~ell-known fact that
farm manures contain a large proper
lion of the potash that was originally
In the plants consumed by the ami
mails. The amount Of potash In the
manure varies directly with the amount
In the plants. Those animals fond Of
plants running high in potash pro-
huce a running high in this
element. Goat manure is q striking
illustration. Animals fond Of plants
running high in ammonia produce a
manure high In ammonia. Horse and
cattle n are in this class. Poul-
try manure runs high In ammonia and
p%hosphoric acid.
Dean p. II. Rolls Of the University
Of Florida college Of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that the ammo
mia, potash and phosphoric acid con-
tent Of the anureS Of these farm ami
mails is in the best condition for use
as a fertilizer. If the manures are not
protected against teaching rains, the
soluble fertilizers or the fertilizing
elements available to plants will be
washed out and the nur will lose
q large amount Of their value.
A manure pit, sheltered against rain,
should be provided on every farm.
There is no better fertilizer and at
the same time there is no more profit
able form of fertilizer to employ than
farm manures.
