The typhoid situation at the Insti

at present nineteen cases of the dis
eaae, and so far live deaths have been

First Winter Wheat In State.
Director A. K. Sheldon of the legis
lative reference bureau has deduced
from the records of the past the fact
that the lirat winter wheat sowed in
this state was by M. Maher. father of
Colonel Jobu Maher uf Lincoln, on
his farm In Flatte county, In 1869.
The plant Iny was very small, amount
ing to only two bushels, but, accord
ing to a letter on file with the state
board of agriculture. It returned to
the ow Bel nineteen and a half bushels
of the grain. Winter wheat, however,
was not taken up by the farmers of
the state to any great extent until
1890, when the prevalency of the
chinch bugs forced the farmers to
(list about tor something to take the
place of this grain. The grain ex
perimented with by Mr. Maher was
planted in September, 1869, and was
harvested in July. 1870.
More Students Will Come Weat.

Registrar Harrison of the state uni

ceed that of 1910 by from 400 to 500
students The constantly Increasing
number of students from eastern
states is a matter of comment among
university authorities and is explained
n tl. fact that there is a tendency
among the prospective students of
t lint section to get at least a portion
of their collegiate education In this
rection of the country. The attend
ance of students from over the state
is looked tc he greater than in any

In another season to make a strong
bid for the patronage of th? mow
prominent stables, which. In former
years, have raced exclusively over
the mile tracks of the Grand Circuit.
The admission of the half-mile
track at Goshen, N. Y., to Grand
Circuit membership this year is an
entering wedge for the aspirants;
and, while the Grand Circuit tfl hat
I'M -r been reluctant to race over
half-mile tracks and are pr.me to re
gard the half-mile track coterie as
tyros, notwithstanding the fact that
nearly every Grand Ctrcuiter himself
is a graduate from the two-lap battle
ground. It Is a foregone conclusion
t Imt the Grand Circuit week at Gosh
en will convert many of the old
school Into enthusiastic half mile
track neophytes.
Aa a matter of fact, th? day of the
mile tmck has been run; and. it"
trotting sport Is to endure, as it
surely will, the half mile track WfJ
be the future scene of all hirnes
contests. Simply because th? outlay
necessary to the installment and to
the upkeep of a mile track and Its
equipim :it cannot in any manner, ex
cept at a few training centers, be
justilitd by the returns from one or
two meetings each year. In a word,
oat treek of activity and fifty i
weeks of Idleness underwrites the
economic deay of any ravins plant
and the sooner the mile track is
relegated and all racing is transfer-
ed to courses of a half mile In cir
cumference, the better it will be for
the entire trotting horse Industry.
This Is, perhaps, strange doctrine to
the laity, and it may, on first im
pulse, sound anarchistic to those
whose so', desideratum of mutters,
horse Is the further reduction of
some exist ii.g record; but the knell
of the mile track has been sounded

locality fecund with the traditions of
Lightharse Harry Lee, Molly Pitcher

roes nnd heroines, a coterie of
wealthy New York business men, all

planning to build half-mile track

model for other plants of like nature.
This track will be within easy reach
of New York City and of Philadel

enterprise are men so high in finan
cial and social circles that the public
announcement of their plans will be
balled with utmost satisfaction not
only by those of the east, who will

but the entire trotting hors? fraterni

What New York is doing can be
accomplished in the middle west and
track managers should arise to the

learn a satisfying and compensating

they used to have jreafl ago:
"Fink's Cider Mill Is c ertainly a
busy ptnee this fall. Las; year there
were no apples and the mill ".'a not
opened, but this year, everybody who
has an apple tree has plenty of ap
ples and their thoughts turn at once
to cider. Tuesdi-y morning eight
wagons, five of Ihem sideboard loads,
of npples were waiting in line for
their turn nt the mill and Miller Fink
and three assistants were busy tak
ing care of the trad?.
"When cider making time comes,
there Is always an eager crowd of
ttldl hanging around the mitl to sam
ple the different loads of apples and
beg a drink of cider, and it la as
tonishing the amount of apples and
cider seme kids can hold. But the
kids are not the only ones who like
to 'just happen around,' many grown
people resorting to the mill for a
good eating apple nnd a cup of fresh
apple juice."
