The Elffel tower Is just twenty-eight
years old, having been erected for the
Paris exposition of 1880. Although
it was denounced as. ugly, for the same
reason as a skeleton, because 1t is un-

ALL STUDENTS MUST TRAIN
X. v. Faculty Adopts Compulsory Ply
sicaI Education-PIan Three
Glasses of Work.

Compulsory physical education
either in the form of intercollegiate
sports, gymnasium work or military
drill has been adopted by the univer-
sity faculty for the student body. The
change will be put into effect at once,
the gymnasium work starting as soon
as possible and the military drill start
ing upon the arrival of Maj. George
w. Martin, United States army, re-
tired, who has been detailed as in
structor in military science at the Uni
versity of Kansas.
The faculty adopted a set of resolu-
tions providing for the establishment
of compulsory physical work. The pro-
visions of the resolution are first, that
every student shall engage in such
physical exercise as he may wish and
the university medical authorities
may recommend.
Second, each student shall have an
opportunity to engage in sports.
Third, intercollegiate and intra-
mural sports shall be maintained, but
not at the sacrifice of health and vigor
of entire student body.
Fourth, all officials of the univer-
sity will assist medical authorities in
carrying out hygienic work.
Fifth, military drill will be provided
for each student as may be assigned
to it by the department of physical
education.
Another important resolution was
introduced and referred to special
committee. This resolution provided
for the change in the university from
the 2-semester and summer term sys-
tenn in use now to a system of four
quarter terms during the year. Such
system would be similar to that be-
ing used in larger universities at the
present time. 1t would enable more
students to attend the university for
shorter time and make conditions
easier for the man who is working his
way through school.

HOGGING DOWN CORN
is MOST PROFITABLE
When Properly Managed Hogs
Gain as Rapidly and Eco
nomicaIIy as on Feed.

Practical feeders and experiment
stations have shown that hogs, when
properly managed, will gain as rapidly
Tn1 as economically when allowed to
harvest the corn crop rs when the crop
is harvested and fed in the usuG! inan-
nor. AS n matter of fact, even more
pork may he produced from an acre
when the hogs do their own harvesting
THIS settlement is proved by tests con-
GUcted by various experiment stations.
Henry and Morrison, in 'Fecds and
Feeding" show that GS pigs which were
allowed to harvest their own corn,
gained 1.1 pounds daily during SO days,
and required 4SS pounds of cOncen-
tratcs for 100 pounds gain. Another
lot of 81 pigs which we're fed ear corn
in yHrd. gained IL pounds during 81
G?vs and required SO pounds of con-
ccn.ratcs for 100 pounds gain.
l.. A. Weaver of the University of
Nasorr' college Of agriculture points
crt that summer pasture, combined
with hNCginC dow, corn in the fall Is
profitable method of fattening hogs,
since less high-priced grain is neces-
sary when pork is produced in this
manner. The Missouri station has
shown that 20 to 40 per cent less grain
Is required to produce a given amount
Of pork wien good pasture crops are
supplied throughout the grazing sea-
son. To effect such saving, however,
1t Is necessary to limit the amount of
grain which is fed to hogs on pasture
St. that at the end of the grazing sea-
son they will not be fat, but will be
grown and in excellent condition to
hog down the corn necessary to finish
them for market.
This system of hog management not
only reduces the amount of grain re-
quired to finish the hog for market, but
saves labor, removes less fertility from
the farm, keeps the swine herd more
healthy, and offers other advantages
Tor cheapening the cost of production.

The demand for small, high-quallty
of producing beef have combined to
foster the rapid growth of the baby
beef industry. Baby beeves may be
described as well-fattened, finished
animals, weighing from 900 to 1,2OO
pounds and marketed when between
fourteen and twenty months old. 1t
takes less food to produce pound of
flesh with them than with mature cat
tie, they sell as high as the best Of
other fat cattle, and markets for baby
beeves have been very stable during
the last ten years. The young heifers
sell as we'll as the steers, and the re-
turns from the money invested in the
production of such cattle come quick
er. On the other hand, 1t takes more
experience to succeed with baby
beeves than with mature cattle, bet
ted grade Of stock is required, and
farm rOughage cannot be substituted
for grain to the same extent.
First Beef Necessity.
In a new publication Of the United
States department of agriculture de-
voted to this subject Farmers Bull
letin No. 91D it is pointed out that the
first necessity for the production Of
baby beef is herd that has at least
fair amount of beef blood. The
cows need not be purebreds, but they
should have at least two or three
crosses of such blood in them A pre-
ponderance of dairy blood will not
give profitable results. The cows
should, however, produce enough milk
to keep the calves well and growing
without much additional feed.
A good bull will do much to Offset
defects in the COW herd. A good beef
form and a strong tendency toward
earliness of maturity are essentials !;
the owners success, in fact depends
to a great extent upon the bulls abil-
ity to transmit. the latter characteristic
to his offspring. Money spent in ac-
quiring a bull that will do this is like
ly to prove good investment, for the

TRICKS that KILL

Bats Left In Evacuated Positions

"The game Of batting the other fel.

an officer who was telling some friends
about the tricks which men play on

"Don't fool with the enemies evac-

ties. When the Germans drew back to

connecting fuses with gold chains, wine
bottles and portraits has been costing
bombing squads large toll in losses.
The coveted goods are so fixed by the
Germans that when Tommy and the
gang have pounced upon them they
touch off the detonator Of an internal
machine"
The Canadian told how IL men who
had entered dugOut in the German
trenches formerly occupied by some
officers had their eyes on several oil
paintings. The non-cOmmissloned Of
ficer who was with them, having wit
messed the annihllatlon of men who
had been caught by the bait in other
cases, ordered the men out of the place
and then fired a shot at one Of the
paintings. In response to the shot
there followed an explosion which de-
molished the dugout.
The allied troops are daily being
taught to keep their hands off all likely
souvenirs when they occupy new po-
sitions. Even the business Of search
ing wounded prisoners Is being con-
Quoted in a glngerly manner by Tom
my. The game Of tricking the other
fellow has been a very serious matter
on the western front, according to this
officer, chiefly because the German sol
dler does not hesitate at the most
atroclous and barbarous Of schemes to
work harm to the enemy. On certain
occasions German soldiers have feigned
to be wounded and while men swept
past them have been guilty of sniping.

sary to finish given number of hogs
will vary with the kind of hogs and
yield Of the crop. 1t has been estimat-
ed that 20 pigs weighing 125 pounds
will harvest yield of 40 to 70 bushels
per acre in from Is to 26 days respec-
lively; 40 pigs in s to IA days, 60 pigs
in 5 to days and 80 pigs in 4 to z
days.
Most feeders prefer well-grown, thin
shOats, which weigh from 125 to $50
pounds-shotes that have been grown
through the summer on forage and not
been previously fed heavy grain ra-
tion. Such hogs will eat a large
amount of feed and will gain rapidly.
Heavier hogs such as brood sOws and
fattcnng hogs almost finished are apt
to break down too much corn and not
clean 1t up so well as they 90, thereby
increasing the waste.
Some nitrogenous supplement must
be supplied to make the hogs gain rap
idly and economically. At least part
Of this supplement may be supplied in
the form of rOughage such as alfalfa.
clover pasture or soy beans. If provI-
sion has not been made for clover, al
falfa or rape pasture in field adjoin-
ing corn, or if soy beai-s have not been
planted in the corn or In an adjacent
field, then it is absolutely essential,
with feeds at the present prices, to
supply some nitrogenous supplement,
such as tankage, linseed oil meal or
middlings. The particular supplement
used would depend upon the relative
prices Of this class Of feeding stuffs.
Ordinarily tankage is u cheap supple

whole baby-beef industry depends
upon the speed In finishing the animals
for market.
Getting Stock to Market.
A herd at least large enough to pro-
duce carload Of calves year Is rec
commended In the bulletin already men,
toned. Shipping in carload lots is
usually the only economical way OF
getting stock to market, from 20 to q
baby beeves constituting a carload
Some allowance must, Of course, be
made for loss and for calves that are
not suited for treatment as baby beef.
Since a well-matured bull can cas-
lily take care of 80 or 60 cows, the bull
charge per calf also will be greater
when the breeding herd is small. On
taken not to crowd the pasture. Good
| bluegrass or clover should carry from
so to 100 cows on q hundred acres |;
other pastures from so to as low as
5. The amount of available roughage
is another important factor in deter.
mining the size of the breeding herd.
Roughage should form the basal pOr-
tion of the ration for the cows. 1t
cannot be bought with profit at the
prevailing prices, and no more cows
should be kept, therefore, than the
farmer can feed with homegrown
roughage.
Calves for Market.
The feeding of the calves intended
for market depends on a number Of
factors, such as the season Of the
year in which they are born, whether
or not any other use is made of the
mothers milk before weaving, and
the age at which it is planned to sell
the beeves. Suggestive rations in
which these points are considered are
given in the bulletin already mention
ed. These are made up of corn, cot
tonseed meal, corn silage, clover hay,
and Oat straw. If barley, milo, kafir,
or similar grains are substituted for
corn, somewhat larger quantities
! should be used.

CONVICTS AID THE FAR RMERS
Trusted Prisoners From State Peniten-
tiary Replace the Drafted Men
in LeaVenworth County.

Trusted convicts from the state pen
intentiary at Lansing are taking the
place of drafted men on Leavenworth
county farms. For the last six weeks
the experiment has been in progress,
and it is proving so successful that
farmers are asking for more prison
ers If the idea is expanded It may
solve the farm labor question In this
vicinity.
Convicts selected for outside farm
work are temporarily paroled While
employed they received the regular
scale of wages, which at present is
from $3.50 to SO a day and board.
The money is sent to their families.
Not a single case Of misconduct
among the paroled workers has been
reported
This newest idea in the use of
prison labor is the result of a serious
shortage of farm hands in that part of
the state. A few weeks ago when
farmers began filing silos they found
it impossible to find enough men to
do the work. In desperation, some Of
the large landowners of Delaware
township in which the prison is To-
Gated, approached Warden ]. X. Cod
ding. They told him unless help could
be had their crops would waste.
Farmers at first paid their new en-
ployees $3.50 day and board. At the
end of the first week the pay was in
creased to SO in most cases because
of the satisfactory services. Warden
Codding personally interviewed every
employer and found each one COM
pletely satisfied. The prisoners are
eager to do the work and earn money
for their wires and children. The
only re 'trictiCns placed on them is a
semi-mcnthly return to the prison to
make a report and obtain new cloth
